In this article we derive a macroscopic model for the time evolution of root density, starting from a discrete mesh of roots, using homogenization techniques. In the microscopic model each root grows vertically according to an ordinary differential equation. The roots growth rates depend on the spatial distribution of nutrient in the soil, which also evolves in time, leading to a fully coupled non-linear problem. We derive an effective partial differential equation for the root tip surface and for...

We recently derived a very general representation formula for the boundary voltage perturbations caused by internal conductivity inhomogeneities of low volume fraction (cf. Capdeboscq and Vogelius (2003)). In this paper we show how this representation formula may be used to obtain very accurate estimates for the size of the inhomogeneities in terms of multiple boundary measurements. As demonstrated by our computational experiments, these estimates are significantly better than previously known (single...
We establish an asymptotic representation formula for the steady state voltage perturbations caused by low volume fraction internal conductivity inhomogeneities. This formula generalizes and unifies earlier formulas derived for special geometries and distributions of inhomogeneities.
Dans cet exposé, nous présentons quelques résultats récents concernant certains problèmes d’identification de paramètres de type hybride, aussi appelés multi-physiques, pour lesquels le modèles physique sous-jacent est une équation aux dérivées partielles elliptique.
