IDEFIX-M3DISIM-POEMS Seminar : Maxime Breden (CMAP) and Charles Dapogny (Lab. Jean Kuntzmann)
- 14h: Maxime Breden (CMAP) - An introduction to computer-assisted proofs for nonlinear equations: how to turn a numerical simulation into a theorem.
The goal of a posteriori validation methods is to get a quantitative and rigorous description of some specific solutions of nonlinear ODEs or PDEs, based on numerical simulations. The general strategy consists in combining a priori and a posteriori error estimates, interval arithmetic, and a fixed point theorem applied to a quasi-Newton operator. Starting from a numerically computed approximate solution, one can then prove the existence of a true solution in a small and explicit neighborhood of the numerical approximation.
I will first present the main ideas behind these techniques on a simple example, then describe a rather general framework in which they can be applied, and finally, time permitting, discuss some applications in population dynamics, fluid dynamics or wave propagation.
- 15h30: Charles Dapogny (CNRS, Laboratoire Jean Kuntzmann, Univ. Grenoble-Alpes) - Une stratégie basée sur la méthode des lignes de niveaux et des algorithmes de remaillage pour l'optimisation de formes
Le besoin d'optimiser la forme des pièces mécaniques dès les premières étapes de la conception est de plus en plus criant dans l'industrie, à mesure que le coût des matières premières augmente.
