Path functionals over Wasserstein spaces

Alessio Brancolini, Giuseppe Buttazzo, Filippo Santambrogio (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Given a metric space X we consider a general class of functionals which measure the cost of a path in X joining two given points x 0 and x 1 , providing abstract existence results for optimal paths. The results are then applied to the case when X is aWasserstein space of probabilities on a given set Ω and the cost of a path depends on the value of classical functionals over measures. Conditions for linking arbitrary extremal measures μ 0 and μ 1 by means of finite cost paths are given.

Phase field method for mean curvature flow with boundary constraints

Elie Bretin, Valerie Perrier (2012)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

This paper is concerned with the numerical approximation of mean curvature flow t → Ω(t) satisfying an additional inclusion-exclusion constraint Ω1 ⊂ Ω(t) ⊂ Ω2. Classical phase field model to approximate these evolving interfaces consists in solving the Allen-Cahn equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In this work, we introduce a new phase field model, which can be viewed as an Allen Cahn equation with a penalized double well potential. We first justify this method by a Γ-convergence result...

Poincaré-Cartan forms in higher order variational calculus on fibred manifolds.

Jaime Muñoz Masqué (1985)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

The aim of the present work is to present a geometric formulation of higher order variational problems on arbitrary fibred manifolds. The problems of Engineering and Mathematical Physics whose natural formulation requires the use of second order differential invariants are classic, but it has been the recent advances in the theory of integrable non-linear partial differential equations and the consideration in Geometry of invariants of increasingly higher orders that has highlighted the interest...
