Francois Hamel (エクス・マルセーユ第3大学 (Universite Aix-Marseille III))
Rearrangement inequalities and isoperimetric eigenvalue problems for second-order differential operators
[ Abstract ]
The talk is concerned with various optimization results for the principal eigenvalues of general second-order elliptic operators in divergence form with Dirichlet boundary condition in bounded domains of R^n. We show that, to each operator in a given domain, we can associate a radially symmetric operator in the ball with the same Lebesgue measure, with a smaller principal eigenvalue. The constraints on the coefficients are of integral, pointwise or geometric types.
The results are new even for symmetric operators or in dimension 1. In particular, we generalize the Rayleigh-Faber-Krahn inequality for the principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet Laplacian. The proofs use a new rearrangement technique, different from the Schwarz symmetrization. This talk is based on a joint work with N. Nadirashvili and E. Russ.

The level set method, multivalued solutions and image science
[ Abstract ]
During the past two decades variational and partial differential based methods have greatly affected the fields of image processing, computer vision and graphics (image science in general). Almost simultaneously the level set method for computing moving interfaces has impacted many areas of mathematics, engineering and applied science, including image science. I will try to give an overview of the basics and recent advances in these topics.

Dietmar Hoemberg (Berlin Technical University)
Optimal control of semilinear parabolic equations and an application to laser material treatments
[ Abstract ]
Many technological processes can be described by partial differential equations. For many years the role of industrial mathematics was mainly to try to understand the respective process, to derive an appropriate PDE or ODE model for it and to simulate it using, e.g., a finite-element code.
However, the ultimate goal usually is to try to optimize the process. Mathematically, this requires the solution of an optimal control problem, i.e., a constrained nonlinear optimization problem in which the constraints are PDEs.
The goal of these two talks is to give an overview of the theory and numerics of optimal control of PDEs for the case of parabolic state equations including an application in laser material treatments. More specifically, I will focus on the following topics.

Jerome Le Rousseau (Laboratoire d'Analyse Topologie Probabilit\'es

Controllability of parabolic equations with non-smooth coefficients by means of global Carleman estimates
[ Abstract ]
We shall review the different concepts of controllability for parabolic equations and a fix-point method to achieve null-controllability of classes of semilinear equations. It is mainly based on observability inequalities and a precise knowledge of the observability constant. These inequalities are obtained by means of global Carleman estimates. We shall review their derivations and how they can be obtained in the case of non-smooth coefficients. We shall also present some open questions.
Part of this work is in collaboration with Assia Benabdallah and Yves Dermenjian (also from Universit\\'e de Provence).

3D Navier-Stokes and Euler Equations with Uniformly Large Initial Vorticity: Global Regularity and Three-Dimensional Euler Dynamics
[ Abstract ]
We prove existence on infinite time intervals of regular solutions to the 3D Navier-Stokes Equations for fully three-dimensional initial data characterized by uniformly large vorticity; smoothness assumptions for initial data are the same as in local existence theorems. There are no conditional assumptions on the properties of solutions at later times, nor are the global solutions close to any 2D manifold. The global existence is proven using techniques of fast singular oscillating limits, Lemmas on restricted convolutions and the Littlewood-Paley dyadic decomposition. In the second part of the talk, we analyze regularity and dynamics of the 3D Euler equations in cylindrical domains with weakly aligned large initial vorticity.

In this lectures we survey recent progress on the problem of determining a potential by measuring the Dirichlet to Neumann map
for the associated Schr\\"odinger equation or wave equation. We make emphasis on the new results obtained with M.Yamamoto which is concerned with the case that the measurements are made on a strict
subset of the boundary for the wave equation.

Analysis of physical systems involving multiple spatial scales: some case studies
[ Abstract ]
Variational methods have recently proved to be a powerful tool in deriving macroscopic models for phenomena whose physics is decided at the sub-miccron scale.
We will use two case studies to illustrate this point, namely, that of liquid crystal elastomers and that of superhydrophobic surfaces.
Liquid crystal elastomers are solids which combine the optical properties of liquid crystals with the mechanical properties of rubbery solids. They display phase transformations, material instabilities, and microstructures in a way simalr to shape-memory alloys.
The richness of the underlying material symmetries makes the mathematical analysis of this system particularly rewarding. Recent progress, ranging from analytical relaxation results to numerical simulations of the macroscopic mechanical response will be reviewed.
