Let $X$ be a compact subset of a separable Hilbert space $H$ with finite fractal dimension $d_F\left(X\right)$, and $P_0$ an orthogonal projection in $H$ of rank greater than or equal to $2d_F\left(X\right)+1$. For every $\delta >0$, there exists an orthogonal projection $P$ in $H$ of the same rank as $P_0$, which is injective when restricted to $X$ and such that $\parallel P-P_0\parallel <\delta$. This result follows from Mañé’s paper. Thus the inverse ${\left(P{|}_X\right)}^{-1}$ of the restricted mapping ${P|}_{X}X\to PX$ is well defined. It is natural to ask whether there exists a universal modulus of continuity for the inverse of Mañé’s...

The aim of this work is to establish, from a mathematical point of view, the limit α → +∞ in the system $i{\partial }_{t}E+\nabla (\nabla .E)-{\alpha }^2\nabla \times \nabla \times E=-{\left|E\right|}^{2\sigma }E,$ where $E:{ℝ}^3\to {ℂ}^3$. This corresponds to an approximation which is made in the context of Langmuir turbulence in plasma Physics. The L2-subcritical σ (that is σ ≤ 2/3) and the H1-subcritical σ (that is σ ≤ 2) are studied. In the physical case σ = 1, the limit is then studied for the $H^1\left({ℝ}^3\right)$ norm.
