Plusieurs lois de comportement mécaniques possèdent une formulation tensorielle, comme c'est le cas pour l'élasticité où intervient un espace de tenseurs d'ordre 4, noté Ela. La classification des matériaux élastiques passent par la nécessité de décrire l'espace des orbites ELA/SO(3). Plus généralement, on étudie la géométrie d'un espace de tenseurs sur $mathbb{R}^{3}$, via l'action du groupe O(3). Cette géométrie est caractérisée par ses classes d'isotropies, ou encore classes de symétries. Tout espace de tenseurs possède en effet un nombre fini de classes d'isotropies. Nous proposons alors une méthode originale et générale pour obtenir ces classes d'istropie. Nous avons ainsi pu obtenir pour la première fois les classes d'isotropie d'un espace de tenseurs d'ordre 8 intervenant en théorie de l'élasticité linéaire du second-gradient de la déformation.Pour une représentation réelle d'un groupe compact, l'algèbre des polynômes invariants sépare les orbites, d'où la recherche d'une famille génératrice minimale de cette algèbre. Pour cela, on exploitant le lien entre les espaces de tenseurs et les espaces de formes binaires. Nous avons ainsi repris et ré-interprété les approches effectives de cette théorie, développées par Gordan au 19ième siècle. Cette ré-interprétation nous a permis d'obtenir de nombreux résultats, dont une famille génératrice minimale d'invariants pour l'élasticité mais aussi pour la piézoélectricté. Nous avons pu retrouver d'une façon simple les séries de Gordan, ainsi que des relations plus récentes d'Abdesselam--Chipalkatti sur les transvectants de formes binaires. / Tensorial formulation of mechanical constitutive equations is a very important matter in continuum mechanics. For instance, the space of elastic tensors is a subspace of 4th order tensors with a natural SO(3) group action. More generaly, we have to study the geometry of a tensor space defined on $mathbb{R}^{3}$, under O(3) group action.To describe such a geometry, we first have to exhibit its isotropy classes, also named symetry classes. Indeed, each tensor space possesses a finite number of isotropy classes. In this present work, we propose an original method to obtain isotropy classes of a given tensor space. As an illustration of this new method, we get for the first time the isotropy classes of a 8th order tensor space occuring in second strain-gradient elasticity theory. In the case of a real representation of a compact group, invariant algebra seperates the orbits. This observation motivates the purpose to find a finite generating set of polynomial invariants. For that purpose, we make use of the link between tensor spaces and spaces of binary forms, which belongs to the classical invariant theory. We thus have to deal with SL(2,$mathbb{C}$) group action. To obtain new results, we have reformulated and reinterpreted effective approaches of Gordan's algorithm, developped during XIXth century. We then obtain for the first time a minimal generating family of elasticity tensor space, and a generating family of piezoelectricity tensor space. Using linear algebra arguments, we were also able to get important relations of classical invariant theory, such as the Gordan's series and the Abdesselam--Chipalkatti's quadratic relations on transvectants.

Os códigos ópticos primos e códigos quadráticos são, pela primeira vez na literatura, gerados a partir de códigos de Slepian (códigos esféricos) e, códigos de resíduos quadráticos, respectivamente. Através do algoritmo da d-cadeia fechada, são obtidos os códigos de primos, como caso particular dos códigos de Slepian. Os códigos quadráticos ópticos são representados por números inteiros quadráticos binários na forma de equações de Diofanto com duas variáveis, de modo que, o reticulado Z2 ou reticulado Â2 fornecem as palavra do código quadrático. O desempenho dos códigos é avaliado usando o critério da probabilidade de erro para situações em que o receptor óptico incorpora um limitador óptico e um fotodiodo APD. O desempenho do sistema é obtido considerando os efeitos da interferência de acesso múltiplo, o ruído balístico do fotodiodo e o ruído térmico do receptor. O desempenho dos códigos propostos é comparado ao desempenho de códigos amplamente divulgados em literatura técnica. Mostra-se ainda que os códigos propostos apresentam desempenho semelhante aos códigos divulgados, tendo como vantagem uma estrutura algébrica de simples implementação e melhor sincronismo / Abstract: This thesis presents a study of optical orthogonal codes (OOe) for application in communication systems using the technique of fiber-optics code division multiple access (OCDMA). The Prime Sequence codes and Quadratic codes are, for the first time in literature, characterized as Slepian group codes (spherical codes) and Quadratic Residues codes, respectively. Through the algorithm of the closed d-chain the Prime Sequence codes are obtained, as a particular case of the Slepian codes. The Quadratic codes are represented by binary quadratic integers in the form of Diophantine equations with two variables, so that, Z2 lattice or Â3 lattice supplies the codeword of the quadratic code. Furthermore, this thesis presents three new constructions of optical orthogonal codes (OOC), construed via congruences having as base the algebraic structure of the multiplicative group of the GaloisField GF(p). The performance of the codes is evaluated using the criterion of the error probability, for situations where the optic receiver incorporates a fiber-optic limiter and a APD photodiode. The performance of the system is evaluated considering the effect of the interference of multiple access, the ballistic noise of the photodiode and the thermal noise of the receiver. The performance of the considered codes is compared with the performance of other codes found in the technical literature. It is observed that the codes considered in this thesis, in this thesis, present similar performance to the reported codes, having as advantage an algebraic structure of simple implementation and better synchronism / Doutorado / Telecomunicações e Telemática / Doutor em Engenharia Elétrica

Un entier est dit y-friable si tous ses facteurs premiers n'excèdent pas y. Les valeurs friables de formes binaires interviennent de manière essentielle dans l'algorithme de factorisation du crible algébrique (NFS). Dans cette thèse, nous obtenons des formules asymptotiques pour le nombre de représentations des entiers friables par différentes familles de polynômes. Nous considérons dans la première partie les formes binaires qui se décomposent comme produit d'une forme linéaire et d'une forme quadratique. Nous combinons pour cela le principe d'inclusion-exclusion à des idées issues de travaux sur la distribution multiplicative de certaines suites d'entiers représentés par des formes quadratiques développés par Fouvry et Iwaniec, puis Balog, Blomer, Dartyge et Tenenbaum. Dans un second temps, nous nous concentrons sur les valeurs friables de formes cubiques irréductibles. En adaptant les travaux de Heath-Brown et Moroz sur les nombres premiers représentés par de tels polynômes, nous obtenons des formules asymptotiques valides dans un vaste domaine de friabilité. Notre méthode permet également d'évaluer des moyennes sur les valeurs d'une forme cubique pour d'autres fonctions arithmétiques comprenant en particulier les fonctions de Möbius et de Liouville. Dans le dernier chapitre, nous étudions les corrélations de l'indicatrice des friables avec les nilsuites. En employant la méthode nilpotente de Green et Tao, nous en déduisons une formule pour le nombre de valeurs friables d'un produit de formes affines deux à deux affinement indépendantes / An integer is called y-friable if its largest prime factor does not exceed y. Friable values of binary forms play a central role in the integer factoring algorithm NFS (Number Field Sieve). In this thesis, we obtain some asymptotic formulas for the number of representations of friable integers by various classes of polynomials. In the first part, we focus on binary forms which split as a product of a linear form and a quadratic form. To achieve this, we combine the inclusion-exclusion principle with ideas based on works of Fouvry and Iwaniec and Balog, Blomer, Dartyge and Tenenbaum related to the distribution of some sequences of integers represented by quadratic forms. We then take a closer look at friable values of irreducible cubic forms. Extending some previous works of Heath-Brown and Moroz concerning primes represented by such polynomials, we provide some asymptotic formulas which hold in a large range of friability. With this method, we also evaluate some means over the values of an irreducible cubic form for other multiplicative functions including the Möbius function and the Liouville function. In the last chapter, we investigate the correlations between nilsequences and the characteristic function of friable integers. By using the nilpotent method of Green and Tao, our work provides a formula for the number of friable integers represented by a product of affine forms such that any two forms are affinely independent

This work is concerned with healing practices that are created within a participatory framework in pastoral theology. It works in post-colonial and postapartheid times in South Africa following on from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. The thesis looks to forms of participation with both victims and perpetrators of apartheid. It seeks to challenge singular identities of victims and perpetrators, whites and blacks, which are bound up in juridical practices that are embedded within binary forms of identity. It exposes some of the problems associated with the splitting of a subject from an object of enquiry. The research concerns a journey with a group of Mothers who lost their sons and husbands to the violence of the apartheid state. It is also a journey with some of the perpetrators who were responsible for the elimination of these men. It seeks to deconstruct identity in order to find alternate descriptions of people, both the victims and perpetrators that are not constructed within a binary oppositional form. This is worked with ideas from the social construction movement particularly ideas relating to relational responsibility. The research attempts to create a safe enough context for accountability, vulnerability and healing to take place within a participatory frame of pastoral care. It works with post-modern theology and some of the philosophy of Derrida, Foucault and Levinas. / Practical Theology / D.Th.(Practical Theology with specialisation in Pastoral Therapy)
