The numerical analysis of a dynamic constrained optimization problem is presented. It consists of a global minimization problem that is coupled with a system of ordinary differential equations. The activation and the deactivation of inequality constraints ...
By implementing the moisture-based form of Richards' equation into the geochemical modelling framework PHREEQC, a generic tool for the simulation of one-dimensional flow and solute transport in the vadose zone undergoing complex geochemical reactions was d ...
The aim of this dissertation is to solve numerically the following problem, denoted by P : given a Riemannian manifold and two points a and b belonging to that manifold, find a tangent vector T at a, such that expa(T) = b, assuming that T exists. This prob ...
In this work, two problems linked to glacier modeling are investigated. We propose an optimisation method for studying the flow of the ice and we present a numerical study about glacier thermal phenomena. In the first chapter of this thesis, we expose the ...
The modeling of a system composed by a gas phase and organic aerosol particles, and its numerical resolution are studied. The gas-aerosol system is modeled by ordinary differential equations coupled with a mixed-constrained optimization problem. This coupl ...
Dam-break floods on steep slopes occur in diverse settings. They may result from failure of either natural or man-made dams, and they have been responsible for the loss of thousands of lives [Costa, 1988]. Recent disasters resulting from dam-break floods o ...
With technological advances, the sources of available information have become more and more diverse. Recently, a new source of information has gained growing importance: sensor data. Sensors are devices sensing their environment in various ways and reporti ...
Ordinary differential equations are coupled with mixed constrained optimization problems when modeling the thermodynamic equilibrium of a system evolving with time. A particular application arises in the modeling of atmospheric particles. Discontinuity poi ...
In this paper we present the continuous and discontinuous Galerkin methods in a unified setting for the numerical approximation of the transport dominated advection-reaction equation. Both methods are stabilized by the interior penalty method, more precise ...
Many clinical MRI protocols use the fluid attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) contrast to better delineate tissue abnormalities such as white matter lesions. Most FLAIR protocols acquire data in a 2D fashion. FLAIR images are often degraded by patient mo ...
