On the ersatz material approximation in level-set methods

Marc Dambrine, Djalil Kateb (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The level set method has become widely used in shape optimization where it allows a popular implementation of the steepest descent method. Once coupled with a ersatz material approximation [Allaire et al., J. Comput. Phys.194 (2004) 363–393], a single mesh is only used leading to very efficient and cheap numerical schemes in optimization of structures. However, it has some limitations and cannot be applied in every situation. This work aims at exploring such a limitation. We estimate the systematic...

Perturbations of the harmonic map equation

Thomas Kappeler (2002)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

We consider perturbations of the harmonic map equation in the case where the source and target manifolds are closed riemannian manifolds and the latter is in addition of nonpositive sectional curvature. For any semilinear and, under some extra conditions, quasilinear perturbation, the space of classical solutions within a homotopy class is proved to be compact. For generic perturbations the set of solutions is finite and we present a count of this set. An important ingredient for our analysis is...

Switched modified function projective synchronization between two complex nonlinear hyperchaotic systems based on adaptive control and parameter identification

Xiaobing Zhou, Murong Jiang, Yaqun Huang (2014)

Kybernetika

This paper investigates adaptive switched modified function projective synchronization between two complex nonlinear hyperchaotic systems with unknown parameters. Based on adaptive control and parameter identification, corresponding adaptive controllers with appropriate parameter update laws are constructed to achieve switched modified function projective synchronization between two different complex nonlinear hyperchaotic systems and to estimate the unknown system parameters. A numerical simulation...

Symmetries of the nonlinear Schrödinger equation

Benoît Grébert, Thomas Kappeler (2002)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

Symmetries of the defocusing nonlinear Schrödinger equation are expressed in action-angle coordinates and characterized in terms of the periodic and Dirichlet spectrum of the associated Zakharov-Shabat system. Application: proof of the conjecture that the periodic spectrum < λ k - λ k + < λ k + 1 - of a Zakharov-Shabat operator is symmetric,i.e. λ k ± = - λ - k for all k , if and only if the sequence ( γ k ) k of gap lengths, γ k : = λ k + - λ k - , is symmetric with respect to k = 0 .

The inverse carrier problem

Grant B. Gustafson, Miroslav Laitoch (2002)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The problem was motivated by Borůvka’s definitions of the carrier and the associated carrier. The inverse carrier problem is precisely defined and partially solved. Examples are given.
