A convergent family of approximate inertial manifolds
AbstractA new method of construction of approximate inertial manifolds (AIMs) is derived for a very general class of evolution partial differential equations. We construct a family (MN)NϵN and show that when the spectral gap condition holds, it converges to an exact inertial manifold. When it does not hold, we prove that the attractor—when it exists—is contained in a thin neighborhood of the AIM MN and when N is large, the thinness decreases exponentially with respect to the dimension of MN
Stochastic Cahn-Hilliard equation with double singular nonlinearities and two reflections
We consider a stochastic partial differential equation with two logarithmic
nonlinearities, with two reflections at 1 and -1 and with a constraint of
conservation of the space average. The equation, driven by the derivative in
space of a space-time white noise, contains a bi-Laplacian in the drift. The
lack of the maximum principle for the bi-Laplacian generates difficulties for
the classical penalization method, which uses a crucial monotonicity property.
Being inspired by the works of Debussche, Gouden\`ege and Zambotti, we obtain
existence and uniqueness of solution for initial conditions in the interval
. Finally, we prove that the unique invariant measure is ergodic, and
we give a result of exponential mixing
Non elliptic SPDEs and ambit fields: existence of densities
Relying on the method developed in [debusscheromito2014], we prove the
existence of a density for two different examples of random fields indexed by
(t,x)\in(0,T]\times \Rd. The first example consists of SPDEs with Lipschitz
continuous coefficients driven by a Gaussian noise white in time and with a
stationary spatial covariance, in the setting of [dalang1999]. The density
exists on the set where the nonlinearity of the noise does not vanish.
This complements the results in [sanzsuess2015] where is assumed to be
bounded away from zero. The second example is an ambit field with a stochastic
integral term having as integrator a L\'evy basis of pure-jump, stable-like
type.Comment: 23 page
Éducation thérapeutique du patient. Modèles, pratiques et évaluation
International audienceIssu d’une collaboration entre l’Inpes et des acteurs de l’éducation thérapeutique du patient, cet ouvrage rassemble des analyses d’interventions d’éducation thérapeutique mises en place en France et au Québec, dans le cadre de huit maladies chroniques : diabète, obésité, maladies cardio-vasculaires, VIH/sida, asthme, cancer, polyarthrite rhumatoïde et lombalgie. En rendant compte des modèles théoriques qui sous-tendent l’éducation thérapeutique et des démarches mises en œuvre, les contributions mettent au jour une large diversité de pratiques. Qu’il soit professionnel de santé, formateur ou chercheur, le lecteur trouvera ainsi des pistes pour démarrer, développer et évaluer ses actions éducatives. Il trouvera aussi matière à éprouver ses conceptions de la santé et de l’éducation, notamment à travers la découverte de pratiques qui produisent des résultats très encourageants alors qu’elles se réfèrent à des cadres théoriques diversifiés et à des voies différenciées pour penser l’action éducative.Parce qu’elles ne montrent pas l’excellence d’une voie plutôt qu’une autre, ces analyses invitent au développement de nouvelles perspectives d’action et de recherche. L’ouvrage offre ainsi une ouverture précieuse dans un contexte général où l’éducation thérapeutique s’inscrit dans le Code de santé publique, notamment à travers la loi Hôpital, patients, santé et territoires du 21 juillet 2009, qui en reconnaît l’importance pour l’amélioration de l’état de santé des personnes, en particulier de celles atteintes d’une maladie chronique
Weak convergence of finite element approximations of linear stochastic evolution equations with additive noise II. Fully discrete schemes
We present an abstract framework for analyzing the weak error of fully
discrete approximation schemes for linear evolution equations driven by
additive Gaussian noise. First, an abstract representation formula is derived
for sufficiently smooth test functions. The formula is then applied to the wave
equation, where the spatial approximation is done via the standard continuous
finite element method and the time discretization via an I-stable rational
approximation to the exponential function. It is found that the rate of weak
convergence is twice that of strong convergence. Furthermore, in contrast to
the parabolic case, higher order schemes in time, such as the Crank-Nicolson
scheme, are worthwhile to use if the solution is not very regular. Finally we
apply the theory to parabolic equations and detail a weak error estimate for
the linearized Cahn-Hilliard-Cook equation as well as comment on the stochastic
heat equation
Trajectory and smooth attractors for Cahn-Hilliard equations with inertial term
The paper is devoted to a modification of the classical Cahn-Hilliard
equation proposed by some physicists. This modification is obtained by adding
the second time derivative of the order parameter multiplied by an inertial
coefficient which is usually small in comparison to the other physical
constants. The main feature of this equation is the fact that even a globally
bounded nonlinearity is "supercritical" in the case of two and three space
dimensions. Thus the standard methods used for studying semilinear hyperbolic
equations are not very effective in the present case. Nevertheless, we have
recently proven the global existence and dissipativity of strong solutions in
the 2D case (with a cubic controlled growth nonlinearity) and for the 3D case
with small inertial coefficient and arbitrary growth rate of the nonlinearity.
The present contribution studies the long-time behavior of rather weak (energy)
solutions of that equation and it is a natural complement of the results of our
previous papers. Namely, we prove here that the attractors for energy and
strong solutions coincide for both the cases mentioned above. Thus, the energy
solutions are asymptotically smooth. In addition, we show that the non-smooth
part of any energy solution decays exponentially in time and deduce that the
(smooth) exponential attractor for the strong solutions constructed previously
is simultaneously the exponential attractor for the energy solutions as well
Photographie diachronique et changement des paysages : un siècle de dynamique naturelle de la forêt à Saint Bauzille de Putois, vallée de l'Hérault
La comparaison de photographies anciennes (prises au début du siècle) et de photographies actuelles des mêmes paysages met en évidence de manière souvent spectaculaire les changements des paysages méditerranéens à la suite de l'exode rural. Ceux-ci se transforment progressivement en une mosaïque à deux éléments, forêts et culture, où les formations végétales intermédiaires tendent à disparaître. Ces changements mettent aussi en évidence la grande résilience des peuplements forestiers étudiée
Dynamique des paysages méditerranéens : un siècle de réinstallation naturelle de la forêt dans le bassin versant de l'Hérault.
Au milieu du 19ème siècle, la densité maximale de la population s'accompagne d'une utilisation intensive des boisements ; ensuite la phase de déprise aboutit à une recolonisation par la forêt
