Renormalized entropy solutions for degenerate nonlinear evolution problems.
Results on existence of solution for an optimal design problem.
In this paper we study a control problem for elliptic nonlinear monotone problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions where the control variables are the coefficients of the equation and the open set where the partial differential problem is studied.

Robust estimates of certain large deviation probabilities for controlled semi-martingales
Motivated by downside risk minimization on the wealth process in an incomplete market model, we have studied in the recent work the asymptotic behavior as time horizon T → ∞ of the minimizing probability that the empirical mean of a controlled semi-martingale falls below a certain level on the time horizon T. This asymptotic behavior relates to a risk-sensitive stochastic control problem in the risk-averse case. Indeed, we obtained an expression of the decay rate of the probability by the Legendre...
Root growth: homogenization in domains with time dependent partial perforations
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...
