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

Bref survol du théorème de non-plongement de J. Cheeger et B. Kleiner pour le groupe d’Heisenberg dans .
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...
