Mathematical and numerical analysis of a stratigraphic model

Véronique Gervais, Roland Masson (2004)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In this paper, we consider a multi-lithology diffusion model used in stratigraphic modelling to simulate large scale transport processes of sediments described as a mixture of L lithologies. This model is a simplified one for which the surficial fluxes are proportional to the slope of the topography and to a lithology fraction with unitary diffusion coefficients. The main unknowns of the system are the sediment thickness h , the L surface concentrations c i s in lithology i of the sediments at the top...

Mathematical and numerical modelling of piezoelectric sensors

Sebastien Imperiale, Patrick Joly (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The present work aims at proposing a rigorous analysis of the mathematical and numerical modelling of ultrasonic piezoelectric sensors. This includes the well-posedness of the final model, the rigorous justification of the underlying approximation and the design and analysis of numerical methods. More precisely, we first justify mathematically the classical quasi-static approximation that reduces the electric unknowns to a scalar electric potential. We next justify the reduction of the computation...

Mathematical and numerical studies of non linear ferromagnetic materials

Patrick Joly, Olivier Vacus (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper we are interested in the numerical modeling of absorbing ferromagnetic materials obeying the non-linear Landau-Lifchitz-Gilbert law with respect to the propagation and scattering of electromagnetic waves. In this work we consider the 1D problem. We first show that the corresponding Cauchy problem has a unique global solution. We then derive a numerical scheme based on an appropriate modification of Yee's scheme, that we show to preserve some important properties of the continuous...

Mathematical and physical aspects of the initial value problem for a nonlocal model of heat propagation with finite speed

Jerzy A. Gawinecki, Agnieszka Gawinecka, Jarosław Łazuka, J. Rafa (2013)

Applicationes Mathematicae

Theories of heat predicting a finite speed of propagation of thermal signals have come into existence during the last 50 years. It is worth emphasizing that in contrast to the classical heat theory, these nonclassical theories involve a hyperbolic type heat equation and are based on experiments exhibiting the actual occurrence of wave-type heat transport (so called second sound). This paper presents a new system of equations describing a nonlocal model of heat propagation with finite speed in the...

Maximizers for the Strichartz Inequality

Damiano Foschi (2007)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We compute explicitly the best constants and, by solving some functional equations, we find all maximizers for homogeneous Strichartz estimates for the Schrödinger equation and for the wave equation in the cases when the Lebesgue exponent is an even integer.

Mesures semi-classiques et croisement de modes

Clotilde Fermanian-Kammerer, Patrick Gérard (2002)

Bulletin de la Société Mathématique de France

L’étude de la dynamique semi-classique d’électrons dans un cristal débouche naturellement sur le problème de l’évolution des mesures semi-classiques en présence d’un croisement de modes. Dans ce travail, nous étudions un système  2 × 2 qui présente un tel croisement. À cet effet, nous introduisons des mesures semi-classiques à deux échelles qui décrivent comment la transformée de Wigner usuelle se concentre sur l’ensemble des trajectoires rencontrant ce croisement. Puis nous établissons des formules...
