Particle systems with geometrical constraints and applications (英語)
[ Abstract ]
Since the pioneering work of Boltzmann, statistical physics has moti-vated the mathematical study or large systems of interacting particles, especially at the interface between stochastic analysis and PDE. More recently, there has been a surge of interest to consider applications to life sciences, where particles can be seen as convenient modeling entities to represent e.g. cell aggregates, bacterial swarms or animal societies. An important question in this context is the link between the microscopic agent-based description and the macroscopic continuum PDE description. Unlike physical systems which generally obey conservation laws, biological systems are rather subjects to constraints which are more geometrical in nature: volume constraints, shape or internal structure for instance. This poses a number of challenges on the modeling, analytical and numerical aspects. In this talk, I will first review earlier works on the study of particle systems with geometrical constraints. Then I will introduce a new framework, based on optimal transport theory, to model particles with arbitrary shapes and deformability properties. I will discuss potential applications in biology and compare this novel approach to other more classical methods.
