Soft congestion approximation to the one-dimensional constrained Euler equations
This article is concerned with the analysis of the one-dimensional
compressible Euler equations with a singular pressure law, the so-called hard
sphere equation of state. The result is twofold. First, we establish the
existence of bounded weak solutions by means of a viscous regularization and
refined compensated compactness arguments. Second, we investigate the smooth
setting by providing a detailed description of the impact of the singular
pressure on the breakdown of the solutions. In this smooth framework, we
rigorously justify the singular limit towards the free-congested Euler
equations, where the compressible (free) dynamics is coupled with the
incompressible one in the constrained (i.e. congested) domain
Asymptotic behavior of 2D stably stratified fluids with a damping term in the velocity equation
This article is concerned with the asymptotic behavior of the two-dimensional
inviscid Boussinesq equations with a damping term in the velocity equation.
Precisely, we provide the time-decay rates of the smooth solutions to that
system. The key ingredient is a careful analysis of the Green kernel of the
linearized problem in Fourier space, combined with bilinear estimates and
interpolation inequalities for handling the nonlinearity
Nonresonant bilinear forms for partially dissipative hyperbolic systems violating the Shizuta-Kawashima condition
In the context of hyperbolic systems of balance laws, the Shizuta-Kawashima
coupling condition guarantees that all the variables of the system are
dissipative even though the system is not totally dissipative. Hence it plays a
crucial role in terms of sufficient conditions for the global in time existence
of classical solutions. However, it is easy to find physically based models
that do not satisfy this condition, especially in several space dimensions. In
this paper, we consider two simple examples of partially dissipative hyperbolic
systems violating the Shizuta-Kawashima condition ([SK]) in 3D, such that some
eigendirections do not exhibit dissipation at all. We prove that, if the source
term is non resonant (in a suitable sense) in the direction where dissipation
does not play any role, then the formation of singularities is prevented,
despite the lack of dissipation, and the smooth solutions exist globally in
time. The main idea of the proof is to couple Green function estimates for
weakly dissipative hyperbolic systems with the space-time resonance analysis
for dispersive equations introduced by Germain, Masmoudi and Shatah. More
precisely, the partially dissipative hyperbolic systems violating [SK] are
endowed, in the non-dissipative directions, with a special structure of the
nonlinearity, the so-called Nonresonant Bilinear Form for the wave equation

A two-dimensional flea on the elephant phenomenon and its numerical visualization
First Published in Multiscale Modeling and Simulation in 17.1 (2019): 137-166, published by the Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM)Localization phenomena (sometimes called flea on the elephant) for the operator Lvarepsilon = varepsilon 2Δ u + p(x)u, p(x) being an asymmetric double well potential, are studied both analytically and numerically, mostly in two space dimensions within a perturbative framework. Starting from a classical harmonic potential, the effects of various perturbations are retrieved, especially in the case of two asymmetric potential wells. These findings are illustrated numerically by means of an original algorithm, which relies on a discrete approximation of the Steklov-Poincaré operator for Lvarepsilon, and for which error estimates are established. Such a two-dimensional discretization produces less mesh imprinting than more standard finite differences and correctly captures sharp layersEnrique Zuazua’s research was supported by the Advanced

A new look at the controllability cost of linear evolution systems with a long gaze at localized data
We revisit the classical issue of the controllability/observability cost of
linear first order evolution systems, starting with ODEs, before turning to
some linear first order evolution PDEs in several space dimensions, including
hyperbolic systems and pseudo-differential systems obtained by linearization in
fluid mechanics. In particular we investigate the cost of localized initial
data, and in the dispersive case, of initial data which are semi-classically
microlocalized
Symmetrization and asymptotic stability in non-homogeneous fluids around stratified shear flows
Significant advancements have emerged in the theory of asymptotic stability
of shear flows in stably stratified fluids. In this comprehensive review, we
spotlight these recent developments, with particular emphasis on novel
approaches that exhibit robustness and applicability across various contexts.Comment: This is a note/review for the seminar Laurent Schwart
