Jens Starke (Technical University of Denmark)
Modelling the olfactory system: From receptor neuron dynamics over axonal pathfinding and sorting to spatio-temporal activities in the bulb
[ Abstract ]
The olfactory system of e.g. mice serves as important model case for other brain regions. The odor signals are processed from receptor neurons over the glomeruli level to a neural network of mitral and granular cells while various types of nonlinear behaviour can be observed.
(1) Nonlinear dynamics in receptor neurons:
A mathematical model for Ca oscillations in the cilia of olfactory
sensory neurons is suggested and analyzed. The existence of an oscillatory regime based on a Hopf bifurcation is proven using stoichiometric network analysis where the knowledge of exact parameters is not required. Predictions of the model are in quantitative agreement with experiment, both with respect to oscillations and to fast adaptation.
(2) Sorting by self-organization:
A many particle model with attracting and repulsive interactions is proposed which is able to reproduce the experimental findings of sorting and convergence during axonal pathfinding in the olfactory system. Many axon species, each represented by a huge number of axons, are spatially disordered at the beginning of their growth at the receptor neurons and converge by a self-organized process to a sorted state, i.e. axons of the same receptor type converge to a common position. Under certain model assumptions, it can be proved that the interacting many-particle system of different particle types converges to a sorted state.
(3) Spatio-temporal pattern formation in the olfactory bulb:
Odors evoke a variety of stimulus specific spatio-temporal patterns on the levels of glomeruli and neural network of mitral and granular cells in the olfactory bulb which can be measured in vivo using Ca and voltage sensitive dyes for optical imaging. A spatial independent component analysis of this high-resolution imaging data was used to identify and separate different neuronal populations based on their stimulus specific spatio-temporal activation. Equation-free techniques were used to obtain bifurcation diagramms for the network activity. First, contrast enhancement between several spatially close activations depending on the network topology and second, hysteres effects in recognition of differences between similar odorants depending on the concentration ratios of odorant mixtures.
This is in parts joint work with P. Borowski, M. Eiswirth, C. Ellsaesser, A. Grinvald, N. Hummel, S. Kokkendorff, D. Omer, J. Reidl, H. Spors, J. Strotmann, M. Zapotocky.

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.

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.

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).

[ 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.
