A “Natural” Norm for the Method of Characteristics Using Discontinuous Finite Elements : 2D and 3D case
We consider the numerical approximation of a first order stationary hyperbolic equation by the method of characteristics with pseudo time step k using discontinuous finite elements on a mesh . For this method, we exhibit a “natural” norm || ||h,k for which we show that the discrete variational problem is well posed and we obtain an error estimate. We show that when k goes to zero problem (resp. the || ||h,k norm) has as a limit problem (Ph) (resp. the || ||h norm) associated to the...

A uniqueness result for the continuity equation in two dimensions
We characterize the autonomous, divergence-free vector fields on the plane such that the Cauchy problem for the continuity equation admits a unique bounded solution (in the weak sense) for every bounded initial datum; the characterization is given in terms of a property of Sard type for the potential associated to . As a corollary we obtain uniqueness under the assumption that the curl of is a measure. This result can be extended to certain non-autonomous vector fields with bounded divergence....
An age-dependent model describing the spread of panleucopenia virus within feline populations
Global existence results and long time behavior are provided for a mathematical model describing the propagation of Feline Panleucopenia Virus (FPLV) within a domestic cat population; two transmission modes are involved: a direct one from infective cats to susceptible ones, and an indirect one from the contaminated environment to susceptible cats. A more severe impact of the virus on young cats requires an age-structured model.
An existence result for balance laws with multifunctions: a model from the theory of granular media
We study an example of the balance law with a multifunction source term, coming from the theory of granular media. We prove the existence of "weak entropy solutions" to this system, using the vanishing viscosity method and compensated compactness. Because of the occurrence of a multifunction we give a new definition of the weak entropy solutions.
An L¹-stability and uniqueness result for balance laws with multifunctions: a model from the theory of granular media
We study the uniqueness and L¹-stability of the Cauchy problem for a 2 × 2 system coming from the theory of granular media [9,10]. We work in a class of weak entropy solutions. The appearance of a multifunction in a source term, given by the Coulomb-Mohr friction law, requires a modification of definition of the weak entropy solution [5,6].
