An introduction to probabilistic methods with applications

Pierre Del Moral, Nicolas G. Hadjiconstantinou (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This special volume of the ESAIM Journal, Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis, contains a collection of articles on probabilistic interpretations of some classes of nonlinear integro-differential equations. The selected contributions deal with a wide range of topics in applied probability theory and stochastic analysis, with applications in a variety of scientific disciplines, including physics, biology, fluid mechanics, molecular chemistry, financial mathematics and bayesian statistics....

Applications of regime-switching models based on aggregation operators

Jozef Komorník, Magda Komorníková (2007)

Kybernetika

A synthesis of recent development of regime-switching models based on aggregation operators is presented. It comprises procedures for model specification and identification, parameter estimation and model adequacy testing. Constructions of models for real life data from hydrology and finance are presented.

Applicazioni del teorema di Nekhoroshev alla meccanica celeste

Giancarlo Benettin (2001)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

The application of Nekhoroshev theory to selected physical systems, interesting for Celestial Mechanics, is here reviewed. Applications include the stability of motions in the weakly perturbed Euler-Poinsot rigid body and the stability of the so-called Lagrangian equilibria L 4 , L 5 in the spatial circular restricted three-body problem. The difficulties to be overcome, which require a nontrivial extension of the standard Nekhoroshev theorem, are the presence of singularities in the fiber structure...

Controllability of three-dimensional Navier–Stokes equations and applications

Armen Shirikyan (2005/2006)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

We formulate two results on controllability properties of the 3D Navier–Stokes (NS) system. They concern the approximate controllability and exact controllability in finite-dimensional projections of the problem in question. As a consequence, we obtain the existence of a strong solution of the Cauchy problem for the 3D NS system with an arbitrary initial function and a large class of right-hand sides. We also discuss some qualitative properties of admissible weak solutions for randomly forced NS...

Controlling Nanoparticles Formation in Molten Metallic Bilayers by Pulsed-Laser Interference Heating

M. Khenner, S. Yadavali, R. Kalyanaraman (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

The impacts of the two-beam interference heating on the number of core-shell and embedded nanoparticles and on nanostructure coarsening are studied numerically based on the non-linear dynamical model for dewetting of the pulsed-laser irradiated, thin (< 20 nm) metallic bilayers. The model incorporates thermocapillary forces and disjoining pressures, and assumes dewetting from the optically transparent substrate atop of the reflective support layer,...

Geometry of fluid motion

Boris Khesin (2002/2003)

Séminaire Équations aux dérivées partielles

We survey two problems illustrating geometric-topological and Hamiltonian methods in fluid mechanics: energy relaxation of a magnetic field and conservation laws for ideal fluid motion. More details and results, as well as a guide to the literature on these topics can be found in [3].

Limiting Behavior for an Iterated Viscosity

Ciprian Foias, Michael S. Jolly, Oscar P. Manley (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The behavior of an ordinary differential equation for the low wave number velocity mode is analyzed. This equation was derived in [5] by an iterative process on the two-dimensional Navier-Stokes equations (NSE). It resembles the NSE in form, except that the kinematic viscosity is replaced by an iterated viscosity which is a partial sum, dependent on the low-mode velocity. The convergence of this sum as the number of iterations is taken to be arbitrarily large is explored. This leads to a limiting...

Non-autonomous 2D Navier–Stokes system with a simple global attractor and some averaging problems

V. V. Chepyzhov, M. I. Vishik (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We study the global attractor of the non-autonomous 2D Navier–Stokes system with time-dependent external force g ( x , t ) . We assume that g ( x , t ) is a translation compact function and the corresponding Grashof number is small. Then the global attractor has a simple structure: it is the closure of all the values of the unique bounded complete trajectory of the Navier–Stokes system. In particular, if g ( x , t ) is a quasiperiodic function with respect to t , then the attractor is a continuous image of a torus. Moreover the...

On the L 2 -instability and L 2 -controllability of steady flows of an ideal incompressible fluid

Alexander Shnirelman (1999)

Journées équations aux dérivées partielles

In the existing stability theory of steady flows of an ideal incompressible fluid, formulated by V. Arnold, the stability is understood as a stability with respect to perturbations with small in L 2 vorticity. Nothing has been known about the stability under perturbation with small energy, without any restrictions on vorticity; it was clear that existing methods do not work for this (the most physically reasonable) class of perturbations. We prove that in fact, every nontrivial steady flow is unstable...
