Corrector Analysis of a Heterogeneous Multi-scale Scheme for Elliptic Equations with Random Potential

Guillaume Bal, Wenjia Jing (2014)

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

This paper analyzes the random fluctuations obtained by a heterogeneous multi-scale first-order finite element method applied to solve elliptic equations with a random potential. Several multi-scale numerical algorithms have been shown to correctly capture the homogenized limit of solutions of elliptic equations with coefficients modeled as stationary and ergodic random fields. Because theoretical results are available in the continuum setting for such equations, we consider here the case of a second-order...

Coulomb Interaction Effects on the Spin Polarization and Currents in Quantum Wires with Spin Orbit Interaction

Anton Heidar Thorolfsson, Andrei Manolescu, D.C. Marinescu, Vidar Gudmundsson (2012)

Nanoscale Systems: Mathematical Modeling, Theory and Applications

We analyze the charge and spin distributions induced in an interacting electron system confined inside a semiconductor quantum wire with spin orbit interaction in the presence of an external magnetic field. The wire, assumed to be infinitely long, is obtained through lateral confinement in three different materials: GaAs, InAs, and InSb. The spin-orbit coupling, linear in the electron momentum is of both Rashba and Dresselhaus type. Within the Hartree-Fock approximation the many-body Hamiltonian...

Counting number of cells and cell segmentation using advection-diffusion equations

Peter Frolkovič, Karol Mikula, Nadine Peyriéras, Alex Sarti (2007)

Kybernetika

We develop a method for counting number of cells and extraction of approximate cell centers in 2D and 3D images of early stages of the zebra-fish embryogenesis. The approximate cell centers give us the starting points for the subjective surface based cell segmentation. We move in the inner normal direction all level sets of nuclei and membranes images by a constant speed with slight regularization of this flow by the (mean) curvature. Such multi- scale evolutionary process is represented by a geometrical...

Counting triangles that share their vertices with the unit n -cube

Brandts, Jan, Cihangir, Apo (2013)

Applications of Mathematics 2013

This paper is about 0 / 1 -triangles, which are the simplest nontrivial examples of 0 / 1 -polytopes: convex hulls of a subset of vertices of the unit n -cube I n . We consider the subclasses of right 0 / 1 -triangles, and acute 0 / 1 -triangles, which only have acute angles. They can be explicitly counted and enumerated, also modulo the symmetries of I n .

Coupled heat transport and Darcian water flow in freezing soils

Krupička, Lukáš, Štefan, Radek, Beneš, Michal (2013)

Programs and Algorithms of Numerical Mathematics

The model of coupled heat transport and Darcian water flow in unsaturated soils and in conditions of freezing and thawing is analyzed. In this contribution, we present results concerning the existence of the numerical solution. Numerical scheme is based on semi-implicit discretization in time. This work illustrates its performance for a problem of freezing processes in vertical soil columns.

Coupling a stochastic approximation version of EM with an MCMC procedure

Estelle Kuhn, Marc Lavielle (2004)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

The stochastic approximation version of EM (SAEM) proposed by Delyon et al. (1999) is a powerful alternative to EM when the E-step is intractable. Convergence of SAEM toward a maximum of the observed likelihood is established when the unobserved data are simulated at each iteration under the conditional distribution. We show that this very restrictive assumption can be weakened. Indeed, the results of Benveniste et al. for stochastic approximation with markovian perturbations are used to establish...

Coupling Darcy and Stokes equations for porous media with cracks

Christine Bernardi, Frédéric Hecht, Olivier Pironneau (2005)

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

In order to handle the flow of a viscous incompressible fluid in a porous medium with cracks, the thickness of which cannot be neglected, we consider a model which couples the Darcy equations in the medium with the Stokes equations in the cracks by a new boundary condition at the interface, namely the continuity of the pressure. We prove that this model admits a unique solution and propose a mixed formulation of it. Relying on this formulation, we describe a finite element discretization and derive...

Coupling of transport and diffusion models in linear transport theory

Guillaume Bal, Yvon Maday (2002)

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

This paper is concerned with the coupling of two models for the propagation of particles in scattering media. The first model is a linear transport equation of Boltzmann type posed in the phase space (position and velocity). It accurately describes the physics but is very expensive to solve. The second model is a diffusion equation posed in the physical space. It is only valid in areas of high scattering, weak absorption, and smooth physical coefficients, but its numerical solution is much cheaper...

Courbure discrète ponctuelle

Vincent Borrelli (2006/2007)

Séminaire de théorie spectrale et géométrie

Soient S une surface de l’espace euclidien 𝔼 3 et M un ensemble de triangles euclidiens formant une approximation linéaire par morceaux de S autour d’un point P S , la courbure discrète ponctuelle K d ( P ) au sommet P de M est, par définition, le quotient du défaut angulaire par la somme des aires des triangles ayant P comme sommet. Un problème naturel est d’estimer la différence entre cette courbure discrète K d ( S ) et la courbure lisse K ( P ) de S en P . Nous présentons dans cet article des résultats obtenus dans [4], [5],...
