Discrete Schrödinger equations and dissipative dynamical systems

International audienceWe introduce a Crank-Nicolson scheme to study numerically the long-time behavior of solutions to a one dimensional damped forced nonlinear Schrödinger equation. We prove the existence of a smooth global attractor for these discretized equations. We also provide some numerical evidences of this asymptotical smoothing effect

Boundary Element Method for the Mixed BBM-KdV Equation Compared to Non Standard Boundary Conditions

In this chapter, we are interested in the numerical resolution of the mixed BBM-KdV equation defined in unbounded domain. Boundary Element Method (BEM) are introduced to truncate the equation into a considered bounded domain. BEM uses domain decomposition techniques to construct Boundary Condition (BC) as transmission between the bounded domain and its complementary. We then present a suitable approximation of these BC using Discrete Galerkin Method. Numerical simulations are made to show the efficiency of these BC. We also compare with another method that truncates the equation from unbounded to bounded domain, called Non Standard Boundary Conditions (NSBC) which introduces new variables to catch information at the boundary and compose a system to connect all these variables in the bounded domain. Further discussions are made to highlight the advantages of each method as well as the difficulties encountered in the numerical resolution

Cooperation as a Service in VANETs

Vehicular Networks, including Vehicular Adhoc Networks (VANETs) and Vehicular Sensor Networks (VSNs), stimulate a brand new variety of services, ranging from driver safety services, traffic information and warnings regarding traffic jams and accidents, to providing weather or road condition, parking availability, and advertisement. 3G networks and sophisticated Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS), including deploying costly roadside base stations, can indeed be used to offer such services, but these come with a cost, both at network and hardware levels. In this paper we introduce Cooperation as a service (CaaS): A novel architecture that will allow providing a set of services for free and without any additional infrastructure, by taking advantage of Vehicle-to-Vehicle communications. CaaS uses a hybrid publish/subscribe mechanism where the driver (or subscriber) expresses his interests regarding a service (or a set of services) and where cars having subscribed to the same service will cooperate to provide the subscriber with the necessary information regarding the service he subscribed to, by publishing this information in the network. CaaS structures the network into clusters, and uses Content Based Routing (CBR) for intra-cluster communications and geographic routing for inter-cluster communications

Comprehensive miscarriage dataset for an early miscarriage prediction

We present risk factors for predicting miscarriage. Our data is created through an android mobile application that collects automatically real-time data about the pregnant woman. This process is done every 60 s while the mobile application is on active mode. We distinguish two types of data: data from mobile phone and data from healthcare sensors. Data generated is real and concerns real pregnant women to test and validate the proposed system and assess its performance and effectiveness

Existence of global attractor for one-dimensional weakly damped nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Dirac interaction and artificial boundary condition in half-line

Abstract We consider a nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Dirac interaction defect. Moreover, non-standard boundary conditions are introduced in connection to the behavior of the solutions. First, we prove that this kind of Schrödinger equation can be characterized by an autonomous dynamical system. Then, based on this result, we show that such an equation possesses a maximal compact attractor in the weak topology of H 1 $\mathbf{H}^{\mathbf{1}}$

Artificial boundary condition for one-dimensional nonlinear Schrödinger problem with Dirac interaction: existence and uniqueness results

Abstract We consider the nonlinear Schrödinger equation with Dirac interaction in a half-line domain of R $\mathbb{R}$. Endowed with artificial boundary condition, we discuss the global well-posedness of the equation

A constructive method for convex solutions of a class of nonlinear Black-Scholes equations

In this work, we are concerned with the theoretical study of a nonlinear Black-Scholes equation resulting from market frictions. We will focus our attention on Barles and Soner’s model where the volatility is enlarged due to the presence of transaction costs. The aim of this paper is to give a constructive mathematical approach for proving the existence of convex solutions to a non degenerate fully nonlinear deterministic problem with nonlinear dependence upon the highest derivative. The existence of a strong solution to the original equation is shown by considering a monotone sequence satisfying an abstract Barenblatt equation and converging toward the solution of a limit problem
