Optimal convex shapes for concave functionals

Dorin BucurIlaria FragalàJimmy Lamboley — 2012

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Motivated by a long-standing conjecture of Pólya and Szegö about the Newtonian capacity of convex bodies, we discuss the role of concavity inequalities in shape optimization, and we provide several counterexamples to the Blaschke-concavity of variational functionals, including capacity. We then introduce a new algebraic structure on convex bodies, which allows to obtain global concavity and indecomposability results, and we discuss their application to isoperimetric-like inequalities. As a byproduct...

Wall laws for viscous fluids near rough surfaces

Dorin BucurAnne-Laure DalibardDavid Gérard-Varet — 2012

ESAIM: Proceedings

In this paper, we review recent results on wall laws for viscous fluids near rough surfaces, of small amplitude and wavelength ε. When the surface is “genuinely rough”, the wall law at first order is the Dirichlet wall law: the fluid satisfies a “no-slip” boundary condition on the homogenized surface. We compare the various mathematical characterizations of genuine roughness, and the corresponding homogenization results....
