  ESAIM: Proceedings and Surveys, EDP Sciences, 2018, 61, pp.55-67. The modeling of cold atoms systems has known an increasing interest in the theoretical physics community, after the first experimental realizations of Bose Einstein condensates, some twenty years ago. We here review some analytical and numerical results concerning the influence of fluctuations , either arising from fluctuations of the confining parameters, or due to temperature effects, in the models describing the dynamics of such condensates.

• Study of new rare event simulation schemes and their application to extreme scenario generation
  
  • Agarwal Ankush
  • de Marco Stefano
  • Gobet Emmanuel
  • Liu Gang
  Mathematics and Computers in Simulation, Elsevier, 2018, 143, pp.89-98. This is a companion paper based on our previous work [ADGL15] on rare event simulation methods. In this paper, we provide an alternative proof for the ergodicity of shaking transformation in the Gaussian case and propose two variants of the existing methods with comparisons of numerical performance. In numerical tests, we also illustrate the idea of extreme scenario generation based on the convergence of marginal distributions of the underlying Markov chains and show the impact of the discretization of continuous time models on rare event probability estimation.

• Hilbert and Thompson geometries isometric to infinite-dimensional Banach spaces
  
  • Walsh Cormac
  Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Association des Annales de l'Institut Fourier, 2018, 68 (5), pp.1831-1877. We study the horofunction boundaries of Hilbert and Thompson geome-tries, and of Banach spaces, in arbitrary dimension. By comparing the boundaries of these spaces, we show that the only Hilbert and Thompson geometries that are isometric to Banach spaces are the ones defined on the cone of positive continuous functions on a compact space.
• Optimizing supports for additive manufacturing
  
  • Allaire Grégoire
  • Bogosel Beniamin
  Structural and Multidisciplinary Optimization, Springer Verlag, 2018, 58 (6), pp.2493-2515. In additive manufacturing process support structures are often required to ensure the quality of the final built part. In this article we present mathematical models and their numerical implementations in an optimization loop, which allow us to design optimal support structures. Our models are derived with the requirement that they should be as simple as possible, computationally cheap and yet based on a realistic physical modeling. Supports are optimized with respect to two different physical properties. First, they must support overhanging regions of the structure for improving the stiffness of the supported structure during the building process. Second, supports can help in channeling the heat flux produced by the source term (typically a laser beam) and thus improving the cooling down of the structure during the fabrication process. Of course, more involved constraints or manufacturability conditions could be taken into account, most notably removal of supports. Our work is just a first step, proposing a general framework for support optimization. Our optimization algorithm is based on the level set method and on the computation of shape derivatives by the Hadamard method. In a first approach, only the shape and topology of the supports are optimized, for a given and fixed structure. In second and more elaborated strategy, both the supports and the structure are optimized, which amounts to a specific multiphase optimization problem. Numerical examples are given in 2-d and 3-d.
• Infinite Horizon Stochastic Optimal Control Problems with Running Maximum Cost

  • Picarelli Athena
  • Zidani Hasnaa
  SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018, 56 (5), pp.3296-3319. An infinite horizon stochastic optimal control problem with running maximum cost is considered. The value function is characterized as the viscosity solution of a second-order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman (HJB) equation with mixed boundary condition. A general numerical scheme is proposed and convergence is established under the assumptions of consistency, monotonicity and stability of the scheme. These properties are verified for a specific semi-Lagrangian scheme. (10.1137/17M115253X)

• Intrinsic random walks in Riemannian and sub-Riemannian geometry via volume sampling
  
  • Agrachev Andrei
  • Boscain Ugo
  • Neel Robert
  • Rizzi Luca
  ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations, EDP Sciences, 2018, 24 (3), pp.1075–1105. We relate some basic constructions of stochastic analysis to differential geometry , via random walk approximations. We consider walks on both Riemannian and sub-Riemannian manifolds in which the steps consist of travel along either geodesics or integral curves associated to orthonormal frames, and we give particular attention to walks where the choice of step is influenced by a volume on the manifold. A primary motivation is to explore how one can pass, in the parabolic scaling limit, from geodesics, orthonormal frames, and/or volumes to diffusions, and hence their infinitesimal generators , on sub-Riemannian manifolds, which is interesting in light of the fact that there is no completely canonical notion of sub-Laplacian on a general sub-Riemannian mani-fold. However, even in the Riemannian case, this random walk approach illuminates the geometric significance of Ito and Stratonovich stochastic differential equations as well as the role played by the volume.

• Log-barrier interior point methods are not strongly polynomial

  • Benchimol Pascal
  • Gaubert Stéphane
  • Joswig Michael
  SIAM Journal on Applied Algebra and Geometry, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018, 2 (1), pp.140-178. We prove that primal-dual log-barrier interior point methods are not strongly polynomial, by constructing a family of linear programs with $3r+1$ inequalities in dimension $2r$ for which the number of iterations performed is in $\Omega(2^r)$. The total curvature of the central path of these linear programs is also exponential in $r$, disproving a continuous analogue of the Hirsch conjecture proposed by Deza, Terlaky and Zinchenko. Our method is to tropicalize the central path in linear programming. The tropical central path is the piecewise-linear limit of the central paths of parameterized families of classical linear programs viewed through logarithmic glasses. This allows us to provide combinatorial lower bounds for the number of iterations and the total curvature, in a general setting. (10.1137/17M1142132)

• Solutions for models of chemically reacting mixtures
  
  • Giovangigli Vincent
  , 2018. The mathematical modeling of chemically reacting mixtures is investigated. The governing equations, that may be split between conservation equations, thermochemistry and transport fluxes, are presented as well as typical simplifications often encountered in the literature. The hyperbolic-parabolic structure of the resulting system of partial differential equations is analyzed using symmetrizing variables. The Cauchy problem is discussed for the full system derived from the kinetic theory of gases as well as relaxation towards chemical equilibrium fluids in the fast chemistry limit. The situations of traveling waves and reaction-diffusion systems is also addressed. (10.1007/978-3-319-10151-4_73-1)

• One-sided convergence in the Boltzmann-Grad limit
  
  • Bodineau Thierry
  • Gallagher Isabelle
  • Saint-Raymond Laure
  • Simonella Sergio
  Annales de la Faculté des Sciences de Toulouse. Mathématiques., Université Paul Sabatier _ Cellule Mathdoc, 2018, 27 (5). We review various contributions on the fundamental work of Lanford deriving the Boltzmann equation from hard-sphere dynamics in the low density limit. We focus especially on the assumptions made on the initial data and on how they encode irreversibility. The impossibility to reverse time in the Boltzmann equation (expressed for instance by Boltzmann's H-theorem) is related to the lack of convergence of higher order marginals on some singular sets. Explicit counterexamples single out the microscopic sets where the initial data should converge in order to produce the Boltzmann dynamics. (10.5802/afst.1589)

• Elasto-plastic shape optimization using the level set method
  
  • Maury Aymeric
  • Allaire Grégoire
  • Jouve François
  SIAM Journal on Control and Optimization, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018, 56 (1), pp.556-581. This article focused on shape optimization of static perfect plasticity problems in the framework of the Von Mises criterion, thanks to the level set method. We circumvent the ill-posedness of the model, by using two regularized versions of the mechanical problem. The rst one is the classical Perzyna formulation which we regularize, the second one is a new regularized formulation derived for the Von Mises criterion. Shape gradients are calculated thanks to the adjoint method. To illustrate the validity of the method, 2D examples are performed.

  International Journal of Multiphase Flow, Elsevier, 2018, 107, pp.230-245. This study employs DNS of two-phase flows to enhance primary atomization understanding and modeling to be used in numerical simulation in RANS or LES framework. In particular, the work has been aimed at improving the information on the liquid-gas interface evolution for modeling approaches, such as the Eulerian-Lagrangian Spray Atomization (ELSA) framework. Even though this approach has been already successfully employed to describe the complete liquid atomization process from the primary region to the dilute spray, improvements are still expected on the derivation of the drop size distribution (DSD). The main aim of the present work is the introduction of a new framework to achieve a continuous description of the DSD formation during the atomization process. The attention is here focused on the extraction from DNS data of the behavior of geometrical variable of the liquid-gas interface, such as the mean (H) and Gauss (G) surface curvatures. The use of a Surface Curvature Distribution is also proposed and studied. A Rayleigh-Plateau instability along a column of liquid and a droplet collision case are first of all considered to analyze and to verify the capabilities of the code to correctly predicting the curvature distributions. A statistical analysis based on the curvatures data, in terms of probability density function, is presented in order to determine the physical parameters that control the curvatures on this test case. Then, the same formulation is applied in the analysis of the two phase Homogeneous Isotropic Turbulence (HIT) configuration to study how the curvatures evolve all along the atomization process. Joint PDFs are used to illustrate the topological changes of the interface when increasing the liquid volume fraction. (10.1016/j.ijmultiphaseflow.2018.06.010)

• Pharmacometrics Models with Hidden Markovian Dynamics
  
  • Lavielle Marc
  Journal of Pharmacokinetics and Pharmacodynamics, Springer Verlag, 2018, 45 (1), pp.91--105. The aim of this paper is to provide an overview of pharmacometric models that involve some latent process with Markovian dynamics. Such models include hidden Markov models which may be useful for describing the dynamics of a disease state that jumps from one state to another at discrete times. On the contrary, diffusion models are continuous-time and continuous-state Markov models that are relevant for modelling non observed phenomena that fluctuate continuously and randomly over time. We show that an extension of these models to mixed effects models is straightforward in a population context. We then show how the Forward-Backward algorithm used for inference in hidden Markov models and the extended Kalman filter used for inference in diffusion models can be combined with standard inference algorithms in mixed effects models for estimating the parameters of the model. The use of these models is illustrated with two applications: a hidden Markov model for describing the epileptic activity of a large number of patients and a stochastic differential equation based model for describing the pharmacokinetics of theophyllin.

• Characteristic and Universal Tensor Product Kernels
  
  • Szabó Zoltán
  • Sriperumbudur Bharath K
  Journal of Machine Learning Research, Microtome Publishing, 2018, 18, pp.233. Maximum mean discrepancy (MMD), also called energy distance or N-distance in statistics and Hilbert-Schmidt independence criterion (HSIC), specifically distance covariance in statistics, are among the most popular and successful approaches to quantify the difference and independence of random variables, respectively. Thanks to their kernel-based foundations, MMD and HSIC are applicable on a wide variety of domains. Despite their tremendous success, quite little is known about when HSIC characterizes independence and when MMD with tensor product kernel can discriminate probability distributions. In this paper, we answer these questions by studying various notions of characteristic property of the tensor product kernel.

We consider the phased and phaseless inverse scattering problems for the Bethe-Peierls model. We give complete solutions of these problems including questions of uniqueness, nonuniqueness, reconstruction and characterization.
• A NON-INTRUSIVE STRATIFIED RESAMPLER FOR REGRESSION MONTE CARLO: APPLICATION TO SOLVING NON-LINEAR EQUATIONS
  
  • Gobet Emmanuel
  • Liu Gang
  • Zubelli Jorge
  SIAM Journal on Numerical Analysis, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018, 56 (1), pp.50-77. Our goal is to solve certain dynamic programming equations associated to a given Markov chain X, using a regression-based Monte Carlo algorithm. More specifically, we assume that the model for X is not known in full detail and only a root sample X1, . . . , XM of such process is available. By a stratification of the space and a suitable choice of a probability measure ν, we design a new resampling scheme that allows to compute local regressions (on basis functions) in each stratum. The combination of the stratification and the resampling allows to compute the solution to the dynamic programming equation (possibly in large dimensions) using only a relatively small set of root paths. To assess the accuracy of the algorithm, we establish non-asymptotic error estimates in L2(ν). Our numerical experiments illustrate the good performance, even with M = 20 − 40 root paths.

• Long time behavior of Gross-Pitaevskii equation at positive temperature
  
  • de Bouard Anne
  • Debussche Arnaud
  • Fukuizumi Reika
  SIAM Journal on Mathematical Analysis, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018, 50 (6), pp.5887–5920. The stochastic Gross-Pitaevskii equation is used as a model to describe Bose-Einstein condensation at positive temperature. The equation is a complex Ginzburg Landau equation with a trapping potential and an additive space-time white noise. Two important questions for this system are the global existence of solutions in the support of the Gibbs measure, and the convergence of those solutions to the equilibrium for large time. In this paper, we give a proof of these two results in one space dimension. In order to prove the convergence to equilibrium, we use the associated purely dissipative equation as an auxiliary equation, for which the convergence may be obtained using standard techniques.
