The rotation set around a fixed point for surface homeomorphisms. (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We propose two definitions of a local rotation set. As applications, one
gets some criteria for the existence of periodic orbits, and a clear
explanation of Gambaudo-Le Calvez-Pecou's version of the Naishul theorem:
for surface diffeomorphisms, the rotation number of the derivative at a
fixed point which is not a sink nor a source is a topological invariant.
Tha local rotation set also provide an unexpected topological
characterization for the parabolic fixed points of holomorphic maps.

Uniqueness for inverse boundary value problems by Dirichlet-to
-Neumann map on subboundaries (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We consider inverse boundary value problems for elliptic equations of second order and survey recent results on the uniqueness mainly by partial boundary data. In particular, in two dimensions, we show uniqueness results by means of Dirichlet data supported on an arbitrary subboundary $\\widetilde\\Gamma$ and Neumann data measured on $\\widetilde\\Gamma$. We describe the key idea for the proof: complex geometric optics solutions which are constructed by a Carleman estimate. Also we show the uniqueness by Dirichlet-to-Neumann map on subboundaries in three dimensions.

Resonant Light Scattering by Small Particles (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The problem of light scattering by a small spherical particle is studied within the framework of the exact solution of the Maxwell equations. It is shown that if imaginary part of the dielectric permittivity of the particle is small enough, the problem exhibits sharp giant resonances with very unusual properties. Specifically, the characteristic values of the electric and magnetic fields inside the particle and in its immediate vicinity are singular in the particle size. In non-dissipative case these quantities do not have definite limits when the radius of the particle tends to zero. The field of the Poynting vector in the immediate vicinity of the particle includes singular points, whose number, types and positions are very sensitive to the changes in the incident light frequency. As an example a bifurcation diagram, describing the behavior of the singular points in the vicinity of the dipole resonance for a particle with a certain fixed size is discussed.

Stability of the determination of the surface impedance of an
obstacle from the scattering amplitude (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
In this joint work with Mourad Bellassoued and Aymen Jbalia, we prove a stability estimate of logarithmic type for the inverse problem consisting in the determination of the surface impedance of an obstacle from the scattering amplitude. We present a simple and direct proof which is essentially based on an elliptic Carleman inequality.

$L_0$ optimization and Lagrange multiplier (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
$L_p$ optimization with $p ¥in[0,1)$ is investigated. The difficulty of natural lack of weak lower-semicontinuity is addressed and the Lagrange multiplier theory is developed. Existence results and necessary optimality conditions are obtained, and the semismooth Newton method using the primal-dual active set is developed. The theory and algorithm are demonstrated for the case of optimal control problems. A maximum principle is derived and existence of controls, in some cases relaxed controls, is proved.

Sufficient optimality conditions for a semi-linear parabolic system related to multiphase steel production (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Multiphase steels combine good formability properties with high strength and have therefore become important construction materials, especially in automotive industry. The standard process route is hot rolling with subsequent controlled cooling to adjust the desired phase mixture. In the first part of the talk a phenomenological model for the austenite ferrite phase transition is developed in terms of a nucleation and growth process, where the growth rate depends on the carbon concentration in austenite. The approach allows for further extensions, e.g., to account for a speed up of nucleation due to deformation of austenite grains. The model is coupled with an energy balance to describe the phase transitions on a run-out table after hot rolling. Here, the most important control parameters are the amount of water flowing per time and the feed velocity of the strip. The spatial flux profile of the water nozzles has been identified from experiments.

Since the process window for the adjustment of the phase composition is very tight the computation of optimal process parameters is an important task also in practice. This is discussed in the second part of the talk using a classical optimal control approach, where a coefficient in the Robin boundary condition acts as the control. I will discuss necessary and sufficient optimality conditions, describe a SQP-approach for its numerical solution and conclude with some numerical results.

Exact insensitizing controls for scalar wave equations and control of coupled systems (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The control of scalar PDE's such as the wave or heat equation is by now well-understood.
It consists in building a source term which can drive the solution from a given initial state to a final (reachable) desired state.
Exact insensitizing control are exact controls which should satisfy an additional requirement:
they should be robust to small unknown perturbations of the initial data. More precisely, they should, as exact controls, drive the solution to the desired state, but they also should insensitize a given measure of the solution to such perturbations. One can show that the existence of exact insensitizing controls for a scalar wave equation is equivalent to the exact controllability by a single control of a system of two wave equations coupled in cascade.
We shall present in this talk the challenging issues and give some recent results and perspectives for the exact insensitizing control of scalar wave equations. We shall also give some more general results on the controllability of coupled systems by a reduced number of controls.

Carleman estimates and Lipschitz stability for Grushin-type operators (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The Baouendi-Grushin operator is an important example of a degenerate elliptic operator that has strong connections with almost-riemannian structures. It is also the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup on Lebesgue spaces with very interesting properties from the point of view of control theory. Such properties will be discussed in this lecture, starting with approximate and null controllability.
We will then address the inverse source problem for these operators deriving a Lipschitz stability result.

Monte Carlo Methods for Partial Differential Equations: Computing Permeability
(ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
We present a brief overview of Monte Carlo methods for the solution of elliptic and parabolic partial differential equations (PDEs). We begin with a review of the Feynman-Kac formula, and its use in the probabilistic representation of the solutions of elliptic and parabolic PDEs. We then consider some specific Monte Carlo methods used for obtaining the solution of simple elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) as part of exterior boundary value problems that arise in electrostatics and flow through porous media. These Monte Carlo methods use Feynman-Kac to represent the solution of the elliptic PDE at a point as the expected value of functionals of Brownian motion trajectories started at the point of interest. We discuss the rapid solution of these equations, in complex exterior geometries, using both the "walk on spheres" and "Greens function first-passage" algorithms. We then concentrate on methods for quickly computing the isotropic permeability using the "unit
capacitance" and "penetration depth'' methods. The first of these methods, requires computing a linear functional of the solution to an exterior elliptic PDE. Both these methods for computing permeability are simple, and provide accurate solutions in a few seconds on laptop-scale computers. We then conclude with a brief look at other Monte Carlo methods and problems that arise on related application areas.

On the ring of Fricke characters of free groups (JAPANESE)
[ Abstract ]
This is a joint work with Takao Satoh (Tokyo University of Science). We study a descending filtration of the ring of Fricke characters of a free group consisting of ideals on which the automorphism group of the free group naturally acts. Then by using it, we define a descending filtration of the automorphism group of a free group, and investigate a relation between it and the Andreadakis-Johnson filtration.

INVERSE PROBLEMS OF GEOMECHANICS AND ITS APPLICATION IN MINING AND GEOPHYSICS (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
The communication devotes to the boundary, coefficient and mixed inverse problems in modeling solid mineral mining processes.
Direct and indirect methods for estimation of natural stress field components were compared.
Based on GPS data (South Siberia, 2000-2003) interpretation the possible indicator (sharp increase of horizontal strains increment in epicenter vicinity) of future strong seismic event was established.
The theoretical approach for evaluation of future earthquake focal parameters (hypocentre depth and fractal dimension of fault anomalous zone) was proposed. The approach is found on inverse problem solution by variation of daylight surface strains.
Using a viscoelastic model, a method is proposed to evaluating the equation-of-state parameters that describe deformation of structural units of the room-and-pillar implementation in bedded deposits composed of rocks developing rheological properties. The method is based on the inverse coefficient problem solution with the data on roof and floor convergence in stopes.
A method of day-to-day qualitative assessment of elastic and strength properties of backfill in flat bedded deposits has been developed on the basis of the solution of the coefficient inverse problem for a set of equations (quasi-static formulation) which describe deformation and failure of filling mass. Uniqueness of the solution only requires simultaneous minimization of two objective functions.

Generalized Calogero-Moser type systems and Cherednik Algebras (ENGLISH)
[ Abstract ]
Calogero-Moser systems can be obtained using Dunkl operators, which
define the polynomial representation of the corresponding rational
Cherednik algebra. Parabolic ideals invariant under the action of the
Dunkl operators give submodules of Cherednik algebra. Considering the
corresponding quotient-modules one yields the generalized (or deformed)
Calogero-Moser systems. In the same way we construct the generalized
elliptic Calogero-Moser systems using the elliptic Dunkl operators
obtained by Buchstaber, Felder and Veselov. The Macdonald-Ruijsenaars
systems (difference (relativistic) Calogero-Moser type systems) can be
considered in terms of Double Affine Hecke Algebra (DAHA). We construct
appropriate submodules in the polynomial representation of DAHA, which
were obtained by Kasatani for some affine root systems. Considering the
corresponding quotient representation we derive the generalized
(deformed) Macdonald-Ruijsenaars systems for any affine root system,
which where obtained by Sergeev and Veselov for the A series. This is
joint work with Misha Feigin.
