  Journal of Physics: Conference Series, IOP Science, 2018, 1131, pp.012008. We aim to detect defects or perturbations of periodic media, e.g. due to a defective manufacturing process. To this end, we consider scalar waves in such media through the lens of a second-order macroscopic description, and we compute the sensitivities of the germane effective parameters due to topological perturbations of a microscopic unit cell. Specifically, our analysis focuses on the tensorial coefficients in the governing mean-field equation – including both the leading order (i.e. quasi-static) terms, and their second-order companions bearing the effects of incipient wave dispersion. Then, we present a method that permits sub-wavelength sensing of periodic media, given the (anisotropic) phase velocity of plane waves illuminating the considered medium for several angles and wavenumbers.

  Analysis and Applications, World Scientific Publishing, 2018. In this paper we will develop a family of non-conforming " Crouzeix-Raviart " type finite elements in three dimensions. They consist of local polynomials of maximal degree p ∈ N on simplicial finite element meshes while certain jump conditions are imposed across adjacent simplices. We will prove optimal a priori estimates for these finite elements. The characterization of this space via jump conditions is implicit and the derivation of a local basis requires some deeper theoretical tools from orthogonal polynomials on triangles and their representation. We will derive these tools for this purpose. These results allow us to give explicit representations of the local basis functions. Finally we will analyze the linear independence of these sets of functions and discuss the question whether they span the whole non-conforming space. (10.1142/S0219530518500070)

• A mixed formulation of the Tikhonov regularization and its application to inverse PDE problems
  
  • Bourgeois Laurent

  ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis, Société de Mathématiques Appliquées et Industrielles (SMAI) / EDP, 2018, 52 (1), pp.123-145. This paper is dedicated to a new way of presenting the Tikhonov regularization in the form of a mixed formulation. Such formulation is well adapted to the regularization of linear ill-posed partial differential equations because when it comes to discretization, the mixed formulation enables us to use some standard finite elements. As an application of our theory, we consider an inverse obstacle problem in an acoustic waveguide. In order to solve it we use the so-called “exterior approach”, which couples the mixed formulation of Tikhonov regularization and a level set method. Some 2d numerical experiments show the feasibility of our approach. (10.1051/m2an/2018008)

• Microstructural topological sensitivities of the second-order macroscopic model for waves in periodic media
  
  • Bonnet Marc

  SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics, Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, 2018, 78 (4), pp.2057-2082. We consider scalar waves in periodic media through the lens of a second-order effective i.e. macroscopic description, and we aim to compute the sensitivities of the germane effective parameters due to topological perturbations of a microscopic unit cell. Specifically, our analysis focuses on the tensorial coefficients in the governing mean-field equation – including both the leading order (i.e. quasi-static) terms, and their second-order companions bearing the effects of incipient wave dispersion. The results demonstrate that the sought sensitivities are computable in terms of (i) three unit-cell solutions used to formulate the unperturbed macroscopic model; (ii) two adoint-field solutions driven by the mass density variation inside the unperturbed unit cell; and (iii) the usual polarization tensor, appearing in the related studies of non-periodic media, that synthesizes the geometric and constitutive features of a point-like perturbation. The proposed developments may be useful toward (a) the design of periodic media to manipulate macroscopic waves via the microstructure-generated effects of dispersion and anisotropy, and (b) sub-wavelength sensing of periodic defects or perturbations.
