On singularities of discontinuous vector fields
2003
Abstract The subject of this paper concerns the classification of typical singularities of a class of discontinuous vector fields in 4D. The focus is on certain discontinuous systems having some symmetric properties.
Invariant varieties of discontinuous vector fields
2004
We study the geometric qualitative behaviour of a class of discontinuous vector fields in four dimensions around typical singularities. We are mainly interested in giving the conditions under which there exist one-parameter families of periodic orbits (a result that can be seen as one analogous to the Lyapunov centre theorem). The focus is on certain discontinuous systems having some symmetric properties. We also present an algorithm which detects and computes periodic orbits.

Resume Dans cet article on donne des formes normales de germes a l'origine de diffeomorphismes reversibles du plan dont la partie lineaire est unipotente a valeurs propres positives. Le calcul de ces formes normales est base sur des algorithmes de geometrie algebrique effective. On etudie aussi des deformations generiques a k parametres (1 ≤ k ≤ 6).
Integration of a Dirac comb and the Bernoulli polynomials
2016
Abstract For any positive integer n , we consider the ordinary differential equations of the form y ( n ) = 1 − Ш + F where Ш denotes the Dirac comb distribution and F is a piecewise- C ∞ periodic function with null average integral. We prove the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions of maximal regularity. Above all, these solutions are given by means of finite explicit formulae involving a minimal number of Bernoulli polynomials. We generalize this approach to a larger class of differential equations for which the computation of periodic solutions is also sharp, finite and effective.
A combination of algebraic, geometric and numerical methods in the contrast problem by saturation in magnetic resonance imaging
2014
In this article, the contrast imaging problem by saturation in nuclear magnetic resonance is modeled as a Mayer problem in optimal control. The optimal solution can be found as an extremal solution of the Maximum Principle and analyzed with the recent advanced techniques of geometric optimal control. This leads to a numerical investigation based on shooting and continuation methods implemented in the HamPath software. The results are compared with a direct approach to the optimization problem and implemented within the Bocop toolbox. In complement lmi techniques are used to estimate a global optimum. It is completed with the analysis of the saturation problem of an ensemble of spin particle…
Optimal control of an ensemble of Bloch equations with applications in MRI
2016
International audience; The optimal control of an ensemble of Bloch equations describing the evolution of an ensemble of spins is the mathematical model used in Nuclear Resonance Imaging and the associated costs lead to consider Mayer optimal control problems. The Maximum Principle allows to parameterize the optimal control and the dynamics is analyzed in the framework of geometric optimal control. This lead to numerical implementations or suboptimal controls using averaging principle.

Sliding solutions of second-order differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side
2017
We consider second-order ordinary differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side. We analyze the concept of solution of this kind of equations and determine analytical conditions that are satisfied by typical solutions. Moreover, the existence and uniqueness of solutions and sliding solutions are studied. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
Coupled systems of non-smooth differential equations
2012
Abstract We study the geometric qualitative behavior of a class of discontinuous vector fields in four dimensions. Explicit existence conditions of one-parameter families of periodic orbits for models involving two coupled relay systems are given. We derive existence conditions of one-parameter families of periodic solutions of systems of two second order non-smooth differential equations. We also study the persistence of such periodic orbits in the case of analytic perturbations of our relay systems. These results can be seen as analogous to the Lyapunov Centre Theorem.

Determinantal sets, singularities and application to optimal control in medical imagery
2016
International audience; Control theory has recently been involved in the field of nuclear magnetic resonance imagery. The goal is to control the magnetic field optimally in order to improve the contrast between two biological matters on the pictures. Geometric optimal control leads us here to analyze mero-morphic vector fields depending upon physical parameters , and having their singularities defined by a deter-minantal variety. The involved matrix has polynomial entries with respect to both the state variables and the parameters. Taking into account the physical constraints of the problem, one needs to classify, with respect to the parameters, the number of real singularities lying in som…
Periodic solutions of a class of non-autonomous second order differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side
2012
Abstract The main goal of this paper is to discuss the existence of periodic solutions of the second order equation: y ″ + η sgn ( y ) = α sin ( β t ) with ( η , α , β ) ∈ R 3 η > 0 . We analyze the dynamics of such an equation around the origin which is a typical singularity of non-smooth dynamical systems. The main results consist in exhibiting conditions on the existence of typical periodic solutions that appear generically in such systems. We emphasize that the mechanism employed here is applicable to many more systems. In fact this work fits into a general program for understanding the dynamics of non-autonomous differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides.
Algebraic-geometric techniques for the feedback classification and robustness of the optimal control of a pair of Bloch equations with application to…
2017
The aim of this article is to classify the singular trajectories associated with the optimal control problems of a pair of controlled Bloch equations. The motivation is to analyze the robustness of the optimal solutions to the contrast and the time-minimal saturation problem, in magnetic resonance imaging, with respect to the parameters and B1-inhomogeneity. For this purpose, we use various computer algebra algorithms and methods to study solutions of polynomial systems of equations and inequalities which are used for classification issues: Gröbner basis, cylindrical algebraic decomposition of semi-algebraic sets, Thom's isotopy lemma.
