Renormalizing Partial Differential Equations

In this review paper, we explain how to apply Renormalization Group ideas to the analysis of the long-time asymptotics of solutions of partial differential equations. We illustrate the method on several examples of nonlinear parabolic equations. We discuss many applications, including the stability of profiles and fronts in the Ginzburg-Landau equation, anomalous scaling laws in reaction-diffusion equations, and the shape of a solution near a blow-up point.Comment: 34 pages, Latex; [email protected]; [email protected]

Cometary topography and phase darkening

Cometary surfaces can change significantly and rapidly due to the sublimation of their volatile material. Many authors have investigated this evolution; Vincent et al. (2017) have used topographic data from all comets visited by spacecrafts to derive a quantitative model which relates large scale roughness (i.e. topography) with the evolution state of the nucleus for Jupiter Family Comets (JFCs). Meanwhile, ground based observers have published measurements of the phase functions of many JFCs and reported a trend in the phase darkening, with primitive objects showing a stronger darkening than evolved ones). In this paper, we use a numerical implementation of the topographic description by Vincent et al. (2017) to build virtual comets and measure the phase darkening induced by the different levels of macro-roughness. We then compare our model with the values published by Kokotanekova et al. (2018) We find that pure geometric effects like self-shadowing can represent up to 22% of the darkening observed for more primitive objects, and 15% for evolved surfaces. This shows that although physical and chemical properties remain the major contributor to the phase darkening, the additional effect of the topography cannot be neglected

Condensation of polyhedric structures onto soap films

We study the existence of solutions to general measure-minimization problems over topological classes that are stable under localized Lipschitz homotopy, including the standard Plateau problem without the need for restrictive assumptions such as orientability or even rectifiability of surfaces. In case of problems over an open and bounded domain we establish the existence of a "minimal candidate", obtained as the limit for the local Hausdorff convergence of a minimizing sequence for which the measure is lower-semicontinuous. Although we do not give a way to control the topological constraint when taking limit yet -- except for some examples of topological classes preserving local separation or for periodic two-dimensional sets -- we prove that this candidate is an Almgren-minimal set. Thus, using regularity results such as Jean Taylor's theorem, this could be a way to find solutions to the above minimization problems under a generic setup in arbitrary dimension and codimension.Comment: 61 page
