Identifiability for a class of discretized linear partial differential algebraic equations.
Identification of a hydrogen transfer model with dynamical boundary conditions.
Identification of critical curves. II. Discretization and numerical realization
We consider the finite element approximation of the identification problem, where one wishes to identify a curve along which a given solution of the boundary value problem possesses some specific property. We prove the convergence of FE-approximation and give some results of numerical tests.

Image segmentation with a finite element method
The Mumford-Shah functional for image segmentation is an original approach of the image segmentation problem, based on a minimal energy criterion. Its minimization can be seen as a free discontinuity problem and is based on Γ-convergence and bounded variation functions theories. Some new regularization results, make possible to imagine a finite element resolution method. In a first time, the Mumford-Shah functional is introduced and some existing results are quoted. Then, a discrete formulation...
Impact of the variations of the mixing length in a first order turbulent closure system
This paper is devoted to the study of a turbulent circulation model. Equations are derived from the “Navier-Stokes turbulent kinetic energy” system. Some simplifications are performed but attention is focused on non linearities linked to turbulent eddy viscosity . The mixing length acts as a parameter which controls the turbulent part in . The main theoretical results that we have obtained concern the uniqueness of the solution for bounded eddy viscosities and small values of and its asymptotic...

Implementation of full linearization in semismooth Newton method for 2D contact problem
To solve the contact problems by using a semismooth Newton method, we shall linearize stiffness and mass matrices as well as contact conditions. The latter are prescribed by means of mortar formulation. In this paper we describe implementation details.
Implementation of optimal Galerkin and Collocation approximations of PDEs with Random Coefficients⋆⋆⋆
In this work we first focus on the Stochastic Galerkin approximation of the solution u of an elliptic stochastic PDE. We rely on sharp estimates for the decay of the coefficients of the spectral expansion of u on orthogonal polynomials to build a sequence of polynomial subspaces that features better convergence properties compared to standard polynomial subspaces such as Total Degree or Tensor Product. We consider then the Stochastic Collocation method, and use the previous estimates to introduce...
Implementing parallel elliptic solver on a Beowulf cluster.
Implicit a posteriori error estimation using patch recovery techniques
We develop implicit a posteriori error estimators for elliptic boundary value problems. Local problems are formulated for the error and the corresponding Neumann type boundary conditions are approximated using a new family of gradient averaging procedures. Convergence properties of the implicit error estimator are discussed independently of residual type error estimators, and this gives a freedom in the choice of boundary conditions. General assumptions are elaborated for the gradient averaging...
Improved convergence bounds for smoothed aggregation method: linear dependence of the convergence rate on the number of levels
The smoothed aggregation method has became a widely used tool for solving the linear systems arising by the discretization of elliptic partial differential equations and their singular perturbations. The smoothed aggregation method is an algebraic multigrid technique where the prolongators are constructed in two steps. First, the tentative prolongator is constructed by the aggregation (or, the generalized aggregation) method. Then, the range of the tentative prolongator is smoothed by a sparse linear...

Improved flux reconstructions in one dimension
We present an improvement to the direct flux reconstruction technique for equilibrated flux a posteriori error estimates for one-dimensional problems. The verification of the suggested reconstruction is provided by numerical experiments.
Improved successive constraint method based a posteriori error estimate for reduced basis approximation of 2D Maxwell's problem
In a posteriori error analysis of reduced basis approximations to affinely parametrized partial differential equations, the construction of lower bounds for the coercivity and inf-sup stability constants is essential. In [Huynh et al., C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris Ser. I Math.345 (2007) 473–478], the authors presented an efficient method, compatible with an off-line/on-line strategy, where the on-line computation is reduced to minimizing a linear functional under a few linear constraints. These constraints...

Inf-sup stable nonconforming finite elements of higher order on quadrilaterals and hexahedra
We present families of scalar nonconforming finite elements of arbitrary order with optimal approximation properties on quadrilaterals and hexahedra. Their vector-valued versions together with a discontinuous pressure approximation of order form inf-sup stable finite element pairs of order r for the Stokes problem. The well-known elements by Rannacher and Turek are recovered in the case r=1. A numerical comparison between conforming and nonconforming discretisations will be given. Since higher order...
