Abstract: In this paper we investigate uniqueness of solutions of the Ginzburg-Landau system for superconductivity in the regime where the thickness of the slab $2a$is small. We analyze the equations of first variation with respect to 2 shooting parameters and obtain estimates on all relevant quantities at the end of theslab where the boundary conditions are prescribed. Using these estimates, we prove that the bifurcation curve of symmetric solutions is given by a decreasing function of the order parameter when the film is thin enough. In addition, we prove that there is no curve of asymmetric solutions branching from the symmetric curve.

Source: dvi, ps

Abstract: This paper establishes various asymptotic limits of the Vlasov-Poisson equation with strong external magnetic field, some of which were announced in [GSR]. The so-called "guiding center approximation" is proved in the 2D case with a constant magnetic field orthogonal to the plane of motion, in various situations (non collisional or weakly collisional). The 3D case is studied on the time scale of the motion along the lines of the magnetic field, much shorter than that of the guiding center motion. We discuss in particular the effect of non constant external magnetic fields.

Reference: LMENS-99-3 (January 99)
Source: dvi, ps

Abstract: We consider the solutions to a kinetic equation which kinetic energy converges to zero fast enough. We prove that they concentrate near the speed zero and converge towards a measure which is a product of a measure on the spacial coordinates and a Dirac mass on the speed coordinates. The difficult point here is that the full solution converges since we do not know any characterisation of the limit problem for the spatial density. We give two results of this kind, depending on the regularity of the solution, and on the assumptions. Finally we present an example of equation which describes the interactions of particles in a flow and where these theorems apply.
Résumé: Nous démontrons ici que si une solution d'une quelconque équation cinétique a une énergie cinétique qui tend vers zero, alors toute la masse se concentre autour des vitesses nulles. Plus précisément la solution admet une limite en temps grand qui se d'ecompose en un produit d'une mesure sur les coordonn'ees spatiales et d'une masse de Dirac sur les coordonnées en vitesse. Nous détaillerons deux théorèmes avec leurs conditions d'application selon la régularité de la solution considérée et nous donnerons un exemple d'équation auquel ces théorèmes peuvent s'appliquer.

## A. Vasseur Contributions à l'approche cinétique des systèmes de lois de conservation hyperboliques - Thèse

Reference: LMENS-99-4 (Janvier 99)
Source: ps

Abstract: Le sujet de cette thèse se situe à la frontière entre la théorie des lois de conservation et la théorie cinétique des gaz. On s'intéresse au système de la dynamique des gaz isentropiques avec $\gamma=3$ qui admet une bonne formulation cinétique. Une méthode de localisation, inspirée de méthodes utilisées pour étudier les singularités d'équations paraboliques, est développée dans ce cadre pour montrer différents résultats.
Dans une première partie, ces techniques nous permettent de démontrer un résultat de régularité en temps des solutions pour des données initiales quelconques. Plus précisément, on montre que toute solution uniformément bornée est continue en temps à valeurs dans $L^1_{\mathrm{loc}}(\R)$ en espace, ce qui est naturel au moins pour récupérer la donnée initiale dans un sens fort. Ce résultat est, à ma connaissance, le premier résultat de régularité de ce type pour un système sans théorie $BV$.
Dans une deuxième partie nous prouvons la convergence d'un schéma cinétique semi-discret en temps. La difficulté de ce résultat réside dans le fait qu'il apparaît des oscillations d'ordre $\Delta t$, le pas de discrétisation. Cependant, grâce à la méthode de localisation, on montre que l'amplitude de ces oscillations tend vers zéro, et que le schéma converge vers la bonne solution.
Enfin, dans une troisième partie nous nous intéressons à l'existence et aux propriétés des profils de chocs associés à ce schéma semi-discret.
Ces trois parties sont suivies de quatre appendices. Nous montrons notamment la convergence du schéma cinétique dans le cas scalaire sans utiliser la méthode de localisation. La preuve repose alors sur une étude précise de la variation d'entropie.

## C. Cot Stochastic dichotomic models for digital video sequences

Reference: LMENS-99-5 (January 99)

Source: ps

Abstract: The aim of this paper is to introduce a method for restoring a sequence of time varying images. Our approach is based on the description of images by contour lines in a Bayesian context. The use of contour lines for image restoration has already been discussed in Catoni [Catoni92]. Here we adapt the methodology to our problem and consider the contour surfaces described by contour lines when the time dimension is added. We use a generalization of the noisy Ising model on the level sets representation of grey-level sequences of images. In order to allow boundary smoothing, we choose appropriately the connectivity of the model, so that we can make the Hamiltonian proportional to a satisfactory approximation of the Euclidean length of the boundaries. The noise model reflects the distance between the observation and the reconstructed sequence. We use a Gaussian noise model translated back to the level sets representation, to take into account the pixel contrast. We propose a generalization of the dichotomic Markov field model introduced in [Catoni92].
Bayesian methods of restoration are numerically intensive. We discuss the advantages of the contour lines dichotomic conditioning restoration compared to the usual global conditioning method of restoration. In order to speed-up the restoration, we implement the hierarchical multi-resolution algorithm [Cot98] for the dichotomic model of reconstruction of contour lines. A range of practical examples illustrate this approach.

Abstract: In this note, we propose a formal argument identifying the hydrodynamic limit of a Fokker-Planck model for granular media appearing in [BCCP]. More precisely, in the limit of large background temperature and vanishing friction, this hydrodynamic limit is described by the classical system of isentropic gas dynamics with a nonstandard pressure law (specifically, the pressure is proportional to the cube root of the density). Finally, some qualitative properties of the hydrodynamic model are studied.

Reference: LMENS-99-8 (February 99)

Source: dvi, ps

Abstract: We give a detailed treatment of some recent developments of the theory of spatial branching processes, and their connections with certain partial differential equations. We first present a short self-contained approach to the measure-valued branching processes called superprocesses. In the special case of the quadratic branching mechanism, we explain the powerful construction based on the path-valued process called the Brownian snake. This construction relies on remarkable properties of branching trees embedded in Brownian excursions, which are of independent interest. In this connection, we discuss Aldous' continuum random tree and the random measure known as ISE (integrated super-Brownian excursion). We then investigate connections between the Brownian snake and the partial differential equation $\Delta u=u^2$. In particular, we present the Dynkin-Perkins characterization of polar sets, corrresponding to removable singularities for the p.d.e., we provide a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence in a domain of a solution with boundary blow-up, and we discuss the probabilistic classification of general nonnegative solutions in a smooth domain. Finally, we explain how the snake approach can be extended to more general branching mechanisms by introducing suitable functionals of L\'evy processes without negative jumps

Abstract: This survey paper is devoted to Riemannian manifolds with special holonomy. To any Riemannian manifold of dimension $n$ is associated a closed subgroup of $SO(n)$, the holonomy group; this is one of the most basic invariants of the metric. A famous theorem of Berger gives a complete (and rather small) list of the groups which can appear. Surprisingly, the compact manifolds with holonomy $\not=SO(n)$ are all related in some way to Algebraic Geometry. This leads to the study of special algebraic varieties (Calabi-Yau, complex symplectic or complex contact manifolds) for which Riemannian geometry rises interesting questions.

Abstract: The acoustic equations are the linearization of the compressible Euler equations about a spatially homogeneous fluid state. We first derive them directly from the Boltzmann equation as the formal limit of moment equations for an appropriately scaled family of Boltzmann solutions. We then establish this limit for the Boltzmann equation considered over a periodic spatial domain for bounded collision kernels. Appropriately scaled families of DiPerna-Lions renormalized solutions are shown to have fluctuations that converge entropically (and hence strongly in L1) to a unique limit governed by a solution of the acoustic equations for all time, provided that its initial fluctuations converge entropically to an appropriate limit associated to any given L2 initial data of the acoustic equations. The associated local conservation laws are recovered in the limit.

Abstract : The purpose of this paper is to investigate the limit of some kinetic equa- tions with a strong force. Due to friction, the solution concentrates to a monokinetic distribution so as to keep the total of force bounded and in the limit we recover a macroscopic system. This kind of asymptotics is a natural question when the mass of the particles is very small or their inertia is neglected. After that we also study the properties of the limit system and especially the uniqueness of solutions which provides the full convergence of the family of solutions to the kinetic equation.
Résumé : Cet article se propose d'étudier la limite de solutions d'une équation cinétique avec frottement lorsque les termes de force deviennent prédominants. A cause du frottement, les solutions se concentrent progressivement en vitesse de manière à ce que la somme des forces reste bornée ; à la limite cette concentration nous oblige à remplacer l'équation cinétique par un système macroscopique. Cette problème apparait notamment quand on fait tendre vers zéro la masse des particules ou quand on néglige leur inertie. Enfin certaines propriétés du système, et particulièrement l'unicité, seront détaillées afin d'obtenir une convergence de toute la suite des solutions et pas seulement d'une suite extraite.

Abstract : We introduce a new approach to prove the regularity of solutions to transport equations of the Vlasov type. Our approach is mainly based on the proof of propagation of velocity moments, as in a previous paper by Lions and Perthame [LP2 ]. We combine it with Moment Lemmas which assert that, locally in space, velocity moments can be gained from the kinetic equation itself. We apply our theory to two cases. First, to the Vlasov-Poisson system, and we solve a long standing conjecture, namely the propagation of any moment larger than two. Next, to the Vlasov-Stokes system where we prove the same result for fairly singular kernels.

Abstract: We show that transport inequalities, similar to the one derived by Talagrand for the Gaussian measure, are implied by logarithmic Sobolev inequalities. Conversely, Talagrand's inequality implies a logarithmic Sobolev inequality if the density of the measure is approximately log-concave, in a precise sense. All constants are independent of the dimension, and optimal in certain cases. The proofs are based on partial differential equations, and an interpolation inequality involving the Wasserstein distance, the entropy functional and the Fisher information.

Abstract: We derive the high frequency limit of the Helmholtz equations in terms of quadratic observables. We prove that it can be written as a stationary Liouville equation with source terms. Our method is based on the Wigner Transform, which is a classical tool for evolution dispersive equations. We extend its use to the stationary case after an appropriate scaling of the Helmholtz equation. Several specific difficulties arise here; first, the identification of the source term (which does not share the quadratic aspect) in the limit, then, the lack of $L^2$ bounds which can be handled with homogeneous Morrey-Campanato estimates, and finally the problem of uniqueness which, at several stage of the proof, is related to outgoing conditions at infinity.

Reference: DMA-99-27 (October 1999)

Source:dvi, ps

Abstract: A steady rarefied gas flow with Mach number of the order of unity around a body or bodies is considered. The general behaviour of the gas for small Knudsen numbers is studied by asymptotic analysis of the boundary-value problem of the Boltzmann equation for a general domain. The effect of gas rarefaction (or Knudsen number) is expressed in a power series of the square root of the Knudsen number of the system. A series of fluid-dynamic type equations and their associated boundary conditions that determine the component functions of the expansion of the density, flow velocity, and temperature of the gas is obtained by the analysis. The equations up to the order of the square root of the Knudsen number do not contain non-Navier-Stokes stress and heat flow, which differs from the claim by Darrozes (in Rarefied Gas Dynamics, Academic Press, New York, 1969). The contributions up to this order, except in Knudsen layer, are included in the system of the Navier-Stakes equations and the slip boundary conditions consisting of tangential velocity slip due to the shear of flow and temperature jump due to the temperature gradient normal to the boundary.

We define a relative free entropy as well as a relative free Fisher information, and show that these quantities behave as in the classical case. Finally we show that, in contrast with classical diffusions, in general the asymptotic distribution of the free diffusion does not converge, as $t\to\infty$, towards the master field (i.e. the Gibbs state).
