Relevance of modelling for assessing spatial and temporal effects of GMOs - upscaling
2007
International audience; Gene flow is a common phenomenon for crop species and its implications for Genetically Modified Plants have raised new concerns. Undesirable effects related to gene flow may result in ecological or agronomic considerations (persistence of feral plants, creation of new weeds; impacts on biodiversity) as well as in commercial considerations (adventitious presence of GMOs in conventional crop production affecting its competitiveness in the marketplace). Consequently, the coexistence between different types of crops has become a major issue and has to be addressed per se whatever are the actual ecological, agronomic and safety impacts. On-farm gene flow occurs both in ti…
Equivalence of viscosity and weak solutions for the normalized $p(x)$-Laplacian
2018
We show that viscosity solutions to the normalized $p(x)$-Laplace equation coincide with distributional weak solutions to the strong $p(x)$-Laplace equation when $p$ is Lipschitz and $\inf p>1$. This yields $C^{1,\alpha}$ regularity for the viscosity solutions of the normalized $p(x)$-Laplace equation. As an additional application, we prove a Rad\'o-type removability theorem.
Intrinsic Lipschitz Graphs and Vertical β-Numbers in the Heisenberg Group
2016
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study some basic concepts of quantitative rectifiability in the first Heisenberg group $\mathbb{H}$. In particular, we aim to demonstrate that new phenomena arise compared to the Euclidean theory, founded by G. David and S. Semmes in the 90's. The theory in $\mathbb{H}$ has an apparent connection to certain nonlinear PDEs, which do not play a role with similar questions in $\mathbb{R}^{3}$. Our main object of study are the intrinsic Lipschitz graphs in $\mathbb{H}$, introduced by B. Franchi, R. Serapioni and F. Serra Cassano in 2006. We claim that these $3$-dimensional sets in $\mathbb{H}$, if any, deserve to be called quantitatively $3$-rectifi…
From Feynman–Kac formulae to numerical stochastic homogenization in electrical impedance tomography
2016
In this paper, we use the theory of symmetric Dirichlet forms to derive Feynman–Kac formulae for the forward problem of electrical impedance tomography with possibly anisotropic, merely measurable conductivities corresponding to different electrode models on bounded Lipschitz domains. Subsequently, we employ these Feynman–Kac formulae to rigorously justify stochastic homogenization in the case of a stochastic boundary value problem arising from an inverse anomaly detection problem. Motivated by this theoretical result, we prove an estimate for the speed of convergence of the projected mean-square displacement of the underlying process which may serve as the theoretical foundation for the de…
Equivalence of AMLE, strong AMLE, and comparison with cones in metric measure spaces
2006
MSC (2000) Primary: 31C35; Secondary: 31C45, 30C65 In this paper, we study the relationship between p-harmonic functions and absolutely minimizing Lipschitz extensions in the setting of a metric measure space (X, d, µ). In particular, we show that limits of p-harmonic functions (as p →∞ ) are necessarily the ∞-energy minimizers among the class of all Lipschitz functions with the same boundary data. Our research is motivated by the observation that while the p-harmonic functions in general depend on the underlying measure µ, in many cases their asymptotic limit as p →∞ turns out have a characterization that is independent of the measure. c
Attractors of stochastic lattice dynamical systems with a multiplicative noise and non-Lipschitz nonlinearities
2012
AbstractIn this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of a first-order stochastic lattice dynamical system with a multiplicative noise.We do not assume any Lipschitz condition on the nonlinear term, just a continuity assumption together with growth and dissipative conditions, so that uniqueness of the Cauchy problem fails to be true.Using the theory of multi-valued random dynamical systems we prove the existence of a random compact global attractor.
Nowhere differentiable intrinsic Lipschitz graphs
2021
We construct intrinsic Lipschitz graphs in Carnot groups with the property that, at every point, there exist infinitely many different blow-up limits, none of which is a homogeneous subgroup. This provides counterexamples to a Rademacher theorem for intrinsic Lipschitz graphs.
Noncoincidence of Approximate and Limiting Subdifferentials of Integral Functionals
2011
For a locally Lipschitz integral functional $I_f$ on $L^1(T,\mathbf{R}^n)$ associated with a measurable integrand f, the limiting subdifferential and the approximate subdifferential never coincide at a point $x_0$ where $f(t,\cdot)$ is not subdifferentially regular at $x_0(t)$ for a.e. $t\in T$. The coincidence of both subdifferentials occurs on a dense set of $L^1(T,\mathbf{R}^n)$ if and only if $f(t,\cdot)$ is convex for a.e. $t\in T$. Our results allow us to characterize Aubin's Lipschitz-like property as well as the convexity of multivalued mappings between $L^1$-spaces. New necessary optimality conditions for some Bolza problems are also obtained.
Lipschitz-type conditions on homogeneous Banach spaces of analytic functions
2017
Abstract In this paper we deal with Banach spaces of analytic functions X defined on the unit disk satisfying that R t f ∈ X for any t > 0 and f ∈ X , where R t f ( z ) = f ( e i t z ) . We study the space of functions in X such that ‖ P r ( D f ) ‖ X = O ( ω ( 1 − r ) 1 − r ) , r → 1 − where D f ( z ) = ∑ n = 0 ∞ ( n + 1 ) a n z n and ω is a continuous and non-decreasing weight satisfying certain mild assumptions. The space under consideration is shown to coincide with the subspace of functions in X satisfying any of the following conditions: (a) ‖ R t f − f ‖ X = O ( ω ( t ) ) , (b) ‖ P r f − f ‖ X = O ( ω ( 1 − r ) ) , (c) ‖ Δ n f ‖ X = O ( ω ( 2 − n ) ) , or (d) ‖ f − s n f ‖ X = O ( ω …
Variable scale effects on hillslope soil erosion during rainfall-runoff processes
2021
Abstract The variation of soil erosion across scales remains a controversial issue. A theoretical framework, coupling the normalized Green-Ampt equation for infiltration, 1D kinematic wave model for overland flow, and WEPP erosion modeling approaches for soil erosion, was used to explain and quantify the direct effect of scale on the soil erosion process. The results show that the relation between interrill erosion and slope length accords with a power-law decreasing trend, while the relation of rill erosion versus slope length shows a power-law increasing trend. Moreover, the power-law scaling of interrill erosion becomes more prominent with an increase of rainfall duration and intensity b…
