    • Ammari Habib
    • Bretin Elie
    • Garnier Josselin
    • Wahab Abdul
    European Journal of Applied Mathematics, Cambridge University Press (CUP), 2013 (24), pp.565-600. In this paper, we consider the problem of reconstructing sources in a homogeneous viscoelastic medium from wavefield measurements. We first present a modified time-reversal imaging algorithm based on a weighted Helmholtz decomposition and justify mathematically that it provides a better approximation than by simply time reversing the displacement field, where artifacts due to the coupling betwe en the pressure and shear waves appear. Then, we investigate the source inverse problem in an elastic attenuating medium. We provide a regularized time-reversal imagin g which corrects the attenuation effect at the first order. The results of this paper yie ld the fundamental tools for solving imaging problems in elastic media using cross correl ation techniques
  • A homogenization approach for the motion of motor proteins
    • Mirrahimi Sepideh
    • Souganidis Panagiotis E.
    Nonlinear Differential Equations and Applications, Springer Verlag, 2013, 20, pp.129-147. We consider the asymptotic behavior of an evolving weakly coupled Fokker-Planck system of two equations set in a periodic environment. The magnitudes of the diffusion and the coupling are respectively proportional and inversely proportional to the size of the period. We prove that, as the period tends to zero, the solutions of the system either propagate (concentrate) with a fixed constant velocity (determined by the data) or do not move at all. The system arises in the modeling of motor proteins which can take two different states. Our result implies that, in the limit, the molecules either move along a filament with a fixed direction and constant speed or remain immobile. (10.1007/s00030-012-0156-3)

  • Energy and regularity dependent stability estimates for near-field inverse scattering in multidimensions
    • Isaev Mikhail
    Journal of Mathematics, Hindawi Publishing Corp., 2013, pp.DOI:10.1155/2013/318154. We prove new global Hölder-logarithmic stability estimates for the near-field inverse scattering problem in dimension $d\geq 3$. Our estimates are given in uniform norm for coefficient difference and related stability efficiently increases with increasing energy and/or coefficient regularity. In addition, a global logarithmic stability estimate for this inverse problem in dimension $d=2$ is also given. (10.1155/2013/318154)

  • Daphnias: from the individual based model to the large population equation
    • Metz J.A.J.
    • Tran Viet Chi
    Journal of Mathematical Biology, Springer, 2013, 66 (4-5), pp.915--933. The class of deterministic 'Daphnia' models treated by Diekmann et~al. (J Math Biol 61: 277--318, 2010) has a long history going back to Nisbet and Gurney (Theor Pop Biol 23: 114--135, 1983) and Diekmann et~al. (Nieuw Archief voor Wiskunde 4: 82--109, 1984). In this note, we formulate the individual based models (IBM) supposedly underlying those deterministic models. The models treat the interaction between a general size-structured consumer population ('Daphnia') and an unstructured resource ('algae'). The discrete, size and age-structured Daphnia population changes through births and deaths of its individuals and throught their aging and growth. The birth and death rates depend on the sizes of the individuals and on the concentration of the algae. The latter is supposed to be a continuous variable with a deterministic dynamics that depends on the Daphnia population. In this model setting we prove that when the Daphnia population is large, the stochastic differential equation describing the IBM can be approximated by the delay equation featured in (Diekmann et~al., l.c.).

  • Homogenization of a Conductive, Convective and Radiative Heat Transfer Problem in a Heterogeneous Domain
    • Allaire Grégoire
    • Habibi Zakaria
    SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2013, 45 (3), pp.1136-1178. We are interested in the homogenization of heat transfer in periodic porous media where the fluid part is made of long thin parallel cylinders, the diameter of which is of the same order than the period. The heat is transported by conduction in the solid part of the domain and by conduction, convection and radiative transfer in the fluid part (the cylinders). A non-local boundary condition models the radiative heat transfer on the cylinder walls. To obtain the homogenized problem we first use a formal two-scale asymptotic expansion method. The resulting effective model is a convection-diffusion equation posed in a homogeneous domain with homogenized coefficients evaluated by solving so-called cell problems where radiative transfer is taken into account. In a second step we rigorously justify the homogenization process by using the notion of two-scale convergence. One feature of this work is that it combines homogenization with a 3D to 2D asymptotic analysis since the radiative transfer in the limit cell problem is purely two-dimensional. Eventually, we provide some 3D numerical results in order to show the convergence and the computational advantages of our homogenization method.
  • Asymptotic enumeration of Eulerian orientations for graphs with strong mixing properties
    • Isaev Mikhail
    • Kseniia Isaeva
    Journal of Applied and Industrial Mathematics / Sibirskii Zhurnal Industrial'noi Matematiki and Diskretnyi Analiz i Issledovanie Operatsii, MAIK Nauka/Interperiodica, 2013, 20 (6), pp.40-58. We prove an asymptotic formula for the number of Eulerian orientations for graphs with strong mixing properties and with vertices having even degrees. The exact value is determined up to the multiplicative error O(n^{-1+epsilon}), where n is the number of vertices.
  • State-constrained Optimal Control Problems of Impulsive Differential Equations
    • Forcadel Nicolas
    • Rao Zhiping
    • Zidani Hasnaa
    Applied Mathematics and Optimization, Springer Verlag (Germany), 2013, 68, pp.1--19. The present paper studies an optimal control problem governed by measure driven differential systems and in presence of state constraints. The first result shows that using the graph completion of the measure, the optimal solutions can be obtained by solving a reparametrized control problem of absolutely continuous trajectories but with time-dependent state-constraints. The second result shows that it is possible to characterize the epigraph of the reparametrized value function by a Hamilton-Jacobi equation without assuming any controllability assumption.

  • The topological derivative in anisotropic elasticity
    • Bonnet Marc
    • Delgado Gabriel
    Quarterly Journal of Mechanics and Applied Mathematics, Oxford University Press (OUP), 2013, 66, pp.557-586. A comprehensive treatment of the topological derivative for anisotropic elasticity is presented, with both the background material and the trial small inhomogeneity assumed to have arbitrary anisotropic elastic properties. A formula for the topological derivative of any cost functional defined in terms of regular volume or surface densities depending on the displacement is established, by combining small-inhomogeneity asymptotics and the adjoint solution approach. The latter feature makes the proposed result simple to implement and computationally efficient. Both three-dimensional and plane-strain settings are treated; they differ mostly on details in the elastic moment tensor (EMT). Moreover, the main properties of the EMT, a critical component of the topological derivative, are studied for the fully anisotropic case. Then, the topological derivative of strain energy-based quadratic cost functionals is derived, which requires a distinct treatment. Finally, numerical experiments on the numerical evaluation of the EMT and the topological derivative of the compliance cost functional are reported. (10.1093/qjmam/hbt018)

  • Exponential instability in the inverse scattering problem on the energy interval
    • Isaev Mikhail
    Functional Analysis and Its Applications, Springer Verlag, 2013, 47 (3), pp.8. We consider the inverse scattering problem on the energy interval in three dimensions. We are focused on stability and instability questions for this problem. In particular, we prove an exponential instability estimate which shows optimality of the logarithmic stability result of [Stefanov, 1990] (up to the value of the exponent).
  • Second order corrector in the homogenization of a conductive-radiative heat transfer problem
    • Allaire Grégoire
    • Habibi Zakaria
    Discrete and Continuous Dynamical Systems - Series B, American Institute of Mathematical Sciences, 2013, 18 (1), pp.1-36. This paper focuses on the contribution of the so-called second order corrector in periodic homogenization applied to a conductive-radiative heat transfer problem. More precisely, heat is diffusing in a periodically perforated domain with a non-local boundary condition modelling the radiative transfer in each hole. If the source term is a periodically oscillating function (which is the case in our application to nuclear reactor physics), a strong gradient of the temperature takes place in each periodicity cell, corresponding to a large heat flux between the sources and the perforations. This effect cannot be taken into account by the homogenized model, neither by the first order corrector. We show that this local gradient effect can be reproduced if the second order corrector is added to the reconstructed solution. (10.3934/dcdsb.2013.18.1)

  • Modelling microstructure noise with mutually exciting point processes
    • Bacry Emmanuel
    • Delattre Sylvain
    • Hoffmann Marc
    • Muzy Jean-François
    Quantitative Finance, Taylor & Francis (Routledge), 2013, 13 (1), pp.65-77. We introduce a new stochastic model for the variations of asset prices at the tick-by-tick level in dimension 1 (for a single asset) and 2 (for a pair of assets). The construction is based on marked point pro- cesses and relies on linear self and mutually exciting stochastic inten- sities as introduced by Hawkes. We associate a counting process with the positive and negative jumps of an asset price. By coupling suitably the stochastic intensities of upward and downward changes of prices for several assets simultaneously, we can reproduce microstructure noise (i.e. strong microscopic mean reversion at the level of seconds to a few minutes) and the Epps effect (i.e. the decorrelation of the increments in microscopic scales) while preserving a standard Brownian diffusion behaviour on large scales. More effectively, we obtain analytical closed-form formulae for the mean signature plot and the correlation of two price increments that enable to track across scales the effect of the mean-reversion up to the diffusive limit of the model. We show that the theoretical results are consistent with empirical fits on futures Euro-Bund and Euro-Bobl in several situations. (10.1080/14697688.2011.647054)

  • Linearized Cauchy Data Inversion Method for Two-Dimensional Buried Target Imaging
    • Ozdemir Ozgur
    • Haddar Houssem
    IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, 2013, 61 (6). We propose a novel inversion algorithm to image buried objects in inhomogeneous media from the electromagnetic data on the outer boundary. Our method is based on exploiting the Cauchy data to derive a new Born-like linearization of the inverse problem. The main advantage of this formulation is to avoid the use of the background Green function and therefore is computationally more efficient. It also provides better accuracy than classical Born approximation. In the case of stratified media, our approach can be coupled with any appropriate continuation method. We discuss here the coupling with a continuation method based on the use of approximate transmission conditions. The feasibility and robustness of our methodology is validated through numerical experiments for single and multiple targets.
  • Approximate Lipschitz stability for non-overdetermined inverse scattering at fixed energy
    • Novikov Roman
    Journal of Inverse and Ill-posed Problems, De Gruyter, 2013, 21 (6), pp.813–823. We prove approximate Lipschitz stability for non-overdetermined inverse scattering at fixed energy with incomplete data in dimension d ≥ 2. Our estimates are given in uniform norm for coefficient difference and related stability precision efficiently increases with increasing energy and coefficient difference regularity. In addition, our estimates are rather optimal even in the Born approximation.
  • Central limit theorems for linear statistics of heavy tailed random matrices
    • Benaych-Georges Florent
    • Guionnet Alice
    • Male Camille
    , 2013. We show central limit theorems (CLT) for the Stieltjes transforms or more general analytic functions of symmetric matrices with independent heavy tailed entries, including entries in the domain of attraction of $\alpha$-stable laws and entries with moments exploding with the dimension, as in the adjacency matrices of Erdös-Rényi graphs. For the second model, we also prove a central limit theorem of the moments of its empirical eigenvalues distribution. The limit laws are Gaussian, but unlike to the case of standard Wigner matrices, the normalization is the one of the classical CLT for independent random variables.
  • Reconstruction of a potential from the impedance boundary map
    • Isaev Mikhail
    • Novikov Roman
    Eurasian Journal of Mathematical and Computer Applications, Eurasian National University, Kazakhstan (Nur-Sultan), 2013, 1 (1), pp.5-28. We give formulas and equations for finding generalized scattering data for the Schrödinger equation in open bounded domain at fixed energy from the impedance boundary map (or Robin-to-Robin map). Combining these results with results of the inverse scattering theory we obtain efficient methods for reconstructing potential from the impedance boundary map.
  • Optimisation of cancer drug treatments using cell population dynamics
    • Billy Frédérique
    • Clairambault Jean
    • Fercoq Olivier
    , 2013, pp.265. Cancer is primarily a disease of the physiological control on cell population proliferation. Tissue proliferation relies on the cell division cycle: one cell becomes two after a sequence of molecular events that are physiologically controlled at each step of the cycle at so-called checkpoints, in particular at transitions between phases of the cycle [105]. Tissue proliferation is the main physiological process occurring in development and later in maintaining the permanence of the organism in adults, at that late stage mainly in fast renewing tissues such as bone marrow, gut and skin.

  • A Global Steering Method for Nonholonomic Systems
    • Chitour Yacine
    • Jean Frédéric
    • Long Ruixing
    Journal of Differential Equations, Elsevier, 2013, 254, pp.1903-1956. In this paper, we present an iterative steering algorithm for nonholonomic systems (also called driftless control-affine systems) and we prove its global convergence under the sole assumption that the Lie Algebraic Rank Condition (LARC) holds true everywhere. That algorithm is an extension of the one introduced in [21] for regular systems. The first novelty here consists in the explicit algebraic construction, starting from the original control system, of a lifted control system which is regular. The second contribution of the paper is an exact motion planning method for nilpotent systems, which makes use of sinusoidal control laws and which is a generalization of the algorithm described in [29] for chained-form systems.

  • Representation, relaxation and convexity for variational problems in Wiener spaces
    • Chambolle Antonin
    • Goldman Michael
    • Novaga Matteo
    Journal de Mathématiques Pures et Appliquées, Elsevier, 2013. We show convexity of solutions to a class of convex variational problems in the Gauss and in the Wiener space. An important tool in the proof is a representation formula for integral functionals in this infinite dimensional setting, that extends analogous results valid in the classical Euclidean framework.
  • An adaptive sparse grid semi-lagrangian scheme for first order Hamilton-Jacobi Bellman equations

    • Griebel Michael
    • Klompmaker Irene
    Journal of Scientific Computing, Springer Verlag, 2013, 55, pp.pp. 575-605. We propose a semi-Lagrangian scheme using a spatially adaptive sparse grid to deal with non-linear time-dependent Hamilton-Jacobi Bellman equations. We focus in particular on front propagation models in higher dimensions which are related to control problems. We test the numerical efficiency of the method on several benchmark problems up to space dimension d = 8, and give evidence of convergence towards the exact viscosity solution. In addition, we study how the complexity and precision scale with the dimension of the problem. (10.1007/s10915-012-9648-x)

    Computer Vision and Image Understanding, Elsevier, 2013, 117 (3), pp.238--249. Coupling time series of MR Images with reaction-di usion-based models has provided interesting ways to better understand the proliferative-invasive as- pect of glial cells in tumors. In this paper, we address a di erent formulation of the inverse problem: from a single time point image of a non-swollen brain tumor, estimate the tumor source location and the di usivity ratio between white and grey matter, while exploring the possibility to predict the further extent of the observed tumor at later time points in low-grade gliomas. The synthetic and clinical results show the stability of the located source and its varying distance from the tumor barycenter and how the estimated ratio controls the spikiness of the tumor.

  • A decomposition technique for pursuit evasion games with many pursuers
    • Festa Adriano
    • Vinter Richard
    , 2013. Here we present a decomposition technique for a class of differential games. The technique consists in a decomposition of the target set which produces, for geometrical reasons, a decomposition in the dimensionality of the problem. Using some elements of Hamilton-Jacobi equations theory, we find a relation between the regularity of the solution and the possibility to decompose the problem. We use this technique to solve a pursuit evasion game with multiple agents.

  • Faddeev eigenfunctions for multipoint potentials
    • Grinevich Piotr
    • Novikov Roman
    Eurasian Journal of Mathematical and Computer Applications, Eurasian National University, Kazakhstan (Nur-Sultan), 2013, 1 (2), pp.76-91. We present explicit formulas for the Faddeev eigenfunctions and related generalized scattering data for multipoint potentials in two and three dimensions. For single point potentials in 3D such formulas were obtained in an old unpublished work of L.D. Faddeev. For single point potentials in 2D such formulas were given recently in [P.G. Grinevich, R.G. Novikov, Physics Letters A,376,(2012),1102-1106].
