Discrétisation et commande frontière de systèmes vibro-acoustiques, une approche hamiltonienne à ports / Discretization and boundary control of vibroacoustic systems, a port-Hamiltonian approach

Trenchant, Vincent 27 November 2017 (has links)
Cette thèse répond à une problématique de commande frontière d’une conduite acoustique dont l’actionnement est assuré par un réseau d’actionneurs/capteurs co-localisés constituant une peau active. Pour faire face au caractère intrinsèquement multiphysique de ce problème vibro-acoustique, nous avons choisi dans cette thèse d’employer une approche hamiltonienne à ports, approche structurée basée sur la représentation des échanges entre différents domaines énergétiques au sein d’un système et entre différents systèmes. Nous avons proposé une modélisation hamiltonienne à ports de l’équation d’onde interconnectée à la frontière au système d’actionnement distribué, correspondant à une formulation 2D du problème physique. Nous avons développé une méthode de discrétisation spatiale basée sur l’utilisation de différences finies sur plusieurs grilles en quinconce qui préserve la structure hamiltonienne à ports de l’équation d’onde. Cette méthode permet en outre d’interconnecter facilement le système discrétisé avec d’autres sous-systèmes, dans le but de mettre en place un actionnement par exemple. Son principal avantage sur d’autres méthodes préservatives de structure réside dans sa simplicité de mise en œuvre qui découle de l’utilisation de différences finies. Concernant la commande du système vibro-acoustique, nous avons proposé une méthode de synthèse de loi de commande distribuée pour les systèmes régis par deux lois de conservation en 1D. L’originalité de cette méthode réside en le fait qu’elle repose sur le calcul d’invariants structuraux (fonctions de Casimir) exploités afin de modifier la structure du système en boucle fermée. Les conditions d’application sur un système 2D sont étudiées et des résultats numériques valident les lois de commande synthétisées. / This thesis deals with the boundary control of an acoustic by a network of co-localised sensors/actuators which constitutes a smart skin. In order to cope with this multiphysical problem, we chose to place our study in the framework of port-Hamiltonian systems, a structured approach based on the representation of energy exchanges between different energy domains between different systems of subsystems. We proposed a port-Hamiltonian model of the wave equation interconnected through its boundary to the distributed actuation system, which corresponds to a 2D formulation of the physical problem. We developed a spatial discretization method based on the use of finite differences on several staggered grids that preserve the port-Hamiltonian structure of the wave equation. This method also permits to easily interconnect the discretized system with other subsystems, which is convenient for instance for control purposes. Its main advantage over other structure preserving methods is its simplicity of implementation which stems from the use of finite differences. In order to control the vibro-acoustic system, we proposed a control law synthesis method for systems governed by two conservation laws in 1D. The originality of this method lies in the fact that it relies on the computation of structural invariants (Casimir functions) exploited in order to modify the structure of the system in closed loop. The conditions of application of these laws on a 2D system are studied and numerical results validate the synthesized control laws.

Approche hamiltonienne à ports pour la modélisation, la réduction et la commande des dynamiques des plasmas dans les tokamaks / Port-Hamiltonian approach for modelling, reduction and control of plasma dynamics in tokamaks

Vu, Ngoc Minh Trang 12 November 2014 (has links)
L'objectif principal de la thèse est d'établir un modèle sous forme hamiltonienne à ports pour la dynamique du plasma dans les réacteurs de fusion de type tokamak, puis de démontrer le potentiel de cette approche pour aborder les problèmes d'intégration numérique et de commande non linéaire. Les bilans thermo-magnéto-hydrodynamiques, écrits sous forme hamiltonienne à ports à l'aide de structures Stokes-Dirac, conduisent à un modèle 3D “ multi-physique ” du plasma. Ensuite, un modèle 1D équivalent au modèle de diffusion résistive est obtenu en supposant les mêmes hypothèses d'équilibre quasi-statique et de symétries. Un schéma symplectique de réduction spatiale de ce modèle 1D qui préserve la structure du modèle et ses invariants est établi. Il ouvre la voie à des travaux ultérieurs de commande non linéaire fondés sur la structure géométrique d'interconnexion et les bilans du modèle. La commande IDA-PBC (Interconnection and Damping Assignment - Passivity Based Control) basée sur la passivité du modèle est d'abord synthétisée pour ce système en dimension finie. Finalement, une commande IDA-PBC associée avec la commande à la frontière est proposée pour le système en dimension infinie. Les controlleurs sont testés et validés avec les simulateurs des tokamak (METIS pour le Tore Supra de CEA/ Cadarache, et RAPTOR pour le TCV de l'EPFL Lausanne, Suisse). / The modelling and analysis of the plasma dynamics in tokamaks using the port-Hamiltonian approach is the main project purpose. Thermo-mMagnetohydrodynamics balances have been written in port-Hamiltonian form using Stokes-Dirac interconnection structures and 3D differential forms. A simplified 1D model for control has been derived using quasi-static and symmetry assumptions. It has been proved to be equivalent to a classical 1D control model: the resistive diffusion model for the poloidal magnetic flux. Then a geometric spatial integration scheme has been developped. It preserves both the symplecticity of the Dirac interconnection structure and physically conserved extensive quantities. This will allow coming works on energy-based approaches for the non linear control of the plasma dynamics.An Interconnection and Damping Assignment - Passivity Based Control (IDA-PBC) , the most general Port-Hamiltonian control, is chosen first to deal with the studied Tokamak system. It is based on a model made of the two coupled PDEs of resistive diffusion for the magnetic poloidal flux and of radial thermal diffusion. The used TMHD couplings are the Lorentz forces (with non-uniform resistivity) and the bootstrap current. The loop voltage at the plasma boundary, the total external current and the plasma heating power are considered as controller outputs. Due to the actuator constraints which imply to have a physically feasible current profile deposits, a feedforward control is used to ensure the compatibility with the actuator physical capability. Then, the IDA-PBC controllers, both finite-dimensional and infinite-dimensional, are designed to improve the system stabilization and convergence speed. The proposed works are validated against the simulation data obtained from the Tore-Supra WEST (CEA/Cadarache, France) test case and from RAPTOR code for the TCV real-time control system (CRPP/ EPFL, Lausanne, Switzerland).

Studies on Frustrated Spin Chains and Quasi-One-Dimensional Conjugated Carbon Systems

Goli, V M L Durga Prasad January 2014 (has links) (PDF)
In this thesis, we investigate the entanglement and magnetic properties of frustrated spin systems and correlated electronic properties of conjugated carbon systems. In chapter 1, we present different approaches to solve the time-independent, nonrelativistic Schr¨odinger equation for a many-body system. We start with the full non-relativistic Hamiltonian of a multi nuclear system to describe the Born - Oppenheimer approximation which allows the study of electronic Hamiltonian which treats nuclear positions parametrically. We then also describe ab initio techniques such as the Hartree-Fock Method and density functional theories. We then introduce model Hamiltonians for strongly correlated systems such as the Hubbard, Pariser-Parr-Pople and Heisenberg models, and show how they result from the noninteracting one-band tight-binding model. In chapter 2, we discuss various numerical techniques like the exact diagonalization methods and density matrix renormalization group (DMRG) method. We also discuss quantum entanglement and the success of DMRG which can be attributed to the area law of entanglement entropy. In chapter 3, we study here different regions in phase diagrams of the spin-1/2, spin-1 and spin-3/2 one-dimensional antiferromagnetic Heisenberg systems with nearest-neighbor (J1) and next-nearest-neighbor (J2) interactions and dimerization (d ). Frustration arises for specific relative signs of the interactions J1 and J2. In particular, we analyze the behavior of the bipartite entanglement entropy and fidelity at the gapless to gapped phase transitions and across the lines separating different phases in the J2−d plane. All the calculations in this work are based on exact diagonalizations of finite systems. In chapter 4, we study Heisenberg spin-1/2 and spin-1 chains with alternating ferromagnetic (JF 1 ) and antiferromagnetic (JA 1 ) nearest-neighbor interactions and a ferromagnetic next-nearest-neighbor interaction (JF 2 ). In this model frustration is present due to non-zero JF 2 . The model with site spin s behaves like a Haldane spin chain with site spin 2s in the limit of vanishing JF 2 and large JF 1 /JA 1 . We show that the exact ground state of the model can be found along a line in the parameter space. For fixed JF 1 , the phase diagram in the space of JA 1 −JF 2 is determined using numerical techniques complemented by analytical calculations. A number of quantities, including the structure factor, energy gap, entanglement entropy and zero temperature magnetization, are studied to understand the complete phase diagram. An interesting and potentially important feature of this model is that it can exhibit a macroscopic magnetization jump in the presence of a magnetic field; we study this using an effective Hamiltonian. In chapter 5, we study correlated electronic properties of zigzag and armchair fused naphthalenes and polyperylene systems in the presence of long-range electronelectron interactions. We find that the ground state of zigzag fused naphthalene system is a higher spin state, while the ground state of armchair fused naphthalene is a singlet. The spin gap of polyperylene is unusually small and the ground state is a singlet. Our calculations of optical gap and two-photon gap suggest that polyperylene should exhibit fluorescence. From the charge gap calculation, we predict that in zigzag fused naphthalene and polyperylene systems, excitons are weakly binding. Peierls type of distortion is negligible in zigzag fused naphthalene and polyperylene systems, however, in armchair fused naphthalene system, interior bonds have tendency to distort in low-lying excited states. In chapter 6, we study the ground state spin of the Heisenberg spin-1/2 nearestneighboring antiferromagnetic exchange models of systems with fused odd member rings. In particular, we compute the ground state spin of fused three and five membered rings as well as fused five membered rings. In the thermodynamic limit, the ground state of the fused three and five membered system is a higher spin state, while fused five membered system shows a singlet ground state, for all system sizes.

An investigation of parity and time-reversal symmetry breaking in tight-binding lattices

Scott, Derek Douglas January 2014 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / More than a decade ago, it was shown that non-Hermitian Hamiltonians with combined parity (P) and time-reversal (T ) symmetry exhibit real eigenvalues over a range of parameters. Since then, the field of PT symmetry has seen rapid progress on both the theoretical and experimental fronts. These effective Hamiltonians are excellent candidates for describing open quantum systems with balanced gain and loss. Nature seems to be replete with examples of PT -symmetric systems; in fact, recent experimental investigations have observed the effects of PT symmetry breaking in systems as diverse as coupled mechanical pendula, coupled optical waveguides, and coupled electrical circuits. Recently, PT -symmetric Hamiltonians for tight-binding lattice models have been extensively investigated. Lattice models, in general, have been widely used in physics due to their analytical and numerical tractability. Perhaps one of the best systems for experimentally observing the effects of PT symmetry breaking in a one-dimensional lattice with tunable hopping is an array of evanescently-coupled optical waveguides. The tunneling between adjacent waveguides is tuned by adjusting the width of the barrier between them, and the imaginary part of the local refractive index provides the loss or gain in the respective waveguide. Calculating the time evolution of a wave packet on a lattice is relatively straightforward in the tight-binding model, allowing us to make predictions about the behavior of light propagating down an array of PT -symmetric waveguides. In this thesis, I investigate the the strength of the PT -symmetric phase (the region over which the eigenvalues are purely real) in lattices with a variety of PT - symmetric potentials. In Chapter 1, I begin with a brief review of the postulates of quantum mechanics, followed by an outline of the fundamental principles of PT - symmetric systems. Chapter 2 focuses on one-dimensional uniform lattices with a pair of PT -symmetric impurities in the case of open boundary conditions. I find that the PT phase is algebraically fragile except in the case of closest impurities, where the PT phase remains nonzero. In Chapter 3, I examine the case of periodic boundary conditions in uniform lattices, finding that the PT phase is not only nonzero, but also independent of the impurity spacing on the lattice. In addition, I explore the time evolution of a single-particle wave packet initially localized at a site. I find that in the case of periodic boundary conditions, the wave packet undergoes a preferential clockwise or counterclockwise motion around the ring. This behavior is quantified by a discrete momentum operator which assumes a maximum value at the PT -symmetry- breaking threshold. In Chapter 4, I investigate nonuniform lattices where the parity-symmetric hop- ping between neighboring sites can be tuned. I find that the PT phase remains strong in the case of closest impurities and fragile elsewhere. Chapter 5 explores the effects of the competition between localized and extended PT potentials on a lattice. I show that when the short-range impurities are maximally separated on the lattice, the PT phase is strengthened by adding short-range loss in the broad-loss region. Consequently, I predict that a broken PT symmetry can be restored by increasing the strength of the short-range impurities. Lastly, Chapter 6 summarizes my salient results and discusses areas which can be further developed in future research.

NMR Methods For The Study Of Partially Ordered Systems

Lobo, Nitin Prakash 07 1900 (has links) (PDF)
The work presented in this thesis has two parts. The first part deals with methodological developments in the area of solid-state NMR, relevant to the study of partially ordered systems. Liquid crystals are best examples of such partially ordered systems and they are easily oriented by the magnetic field used for the NMR study. They provide spectra rich in information useful for the study of structure and dynamic s of the oriented molecule. Dipolar couplings and anisotropic chemical shifts are relatively easy to obtain for these systems. However, the methodologies used for extracting the required information are constantly undergoing change, with newer ideas being used for optimal use of the technique and increasing the sensitivity of the methodology. In this thesis, existing methods used for obtaining dipolar couplings from oriented liquid crystalline samples are examined in detail and conditions for optimal use of the methods are investigated. Different approaches for enhancing the sensitivity of the techniques are also proposed. Estimation of chemical shift anisotropy of carbons for a molecule that is used as a building block for several mesogens has been obtained and its utility for estimating the order parameters of the system have been examined. The second part of the thesis deals with the application of solid state NMR methods to the study of a number of novel liquid crystalline systems and for the estimation of dynamics, order and orientation of the mesogenic molecules in the magnetic field. Chapter-2 deals with a detailed and systematic study to improve the sensitivity of cross-polarization based separated local field (SLF) NMR spectroscopy techniques such as PISEMA(Polarization Inversion Spin Exchange at the Magic Angle) and PDLF(Pro-ton Detected Local Field). The chapter has been further divided into three sections. Section-A describes the optimization procedure for cross-polarization period for reducing zero-frequency peaks in SLF experiments. Polarization Inversion(PI) is one of the important components of PISEMA and plays a crucial role in enhancing the dipolar cross-peaks and suppressing the axial-peaks. Shortening this period has the advantage of less r.f. power input into the system, thus less susceptibility to sample heating. Therefore it is crucial to arrive at the optimum condition for which maximum sensitivity and resolution are obtained. A detailed experimental investigation of the role of the initial po1arization period has been carried out for two different samples of static oriented liquid crystalline material at two different temperatures and a contact time of 2ms has been found to be optimal for such samples. Insection-B of this chapter, the initial preparation period of the experiment is considered as a possible means of increasing the sensitivity of the experiment. Thus the use of cross-polarization via the dipolar bath by the use of a diabatic demagnetization in the rotating frame(ADRF-CP) has been proposed to be incorporated into PISEMA. To understand the CP dynamics, magnetization in double-and zero-quantum reservoirs of an ensemble of spin-1/2 nuclei and their role in determining the sensitivity the experiments have been theoretically examined. Experimentally, a modification incorporating ADRF-CP is shown to result in enhancement of signal-to-noise by as much as 90% in the case of rigid single crystals of a model peptide and up to 50% in non-rigid, partially ordered liquid crystalline systems. In section-C another useful SLF technique known as PDLF spectroscopy has also been examined. In this case a sweep of one of the r.f. amplitudes(RAMP-CP),rather than ADRF is found to work well. The reason for the different behaviours has been discussed. Chapter-3 highlights two experimental approaches used to extract the chemical shift anisotropy(CSA) tensor information from rotating solids. Section-A is devoted to the measurement of the CSA values of thiophene by using MAS side band analysis, by extracting the principal values from the intensities of just a few spinning side bands. Experiments have been performed on thiophene-2 carboxylic acid and thiophene-3 carboxylic acid samples and the carbon CSA values have been obtained. In section-B, CSA values of carbons of the core unit of the liquid crystal4- hexyloxybenzoic acid (HBA) have been obtained by using the recoupling pulse sequence SUPER(Separation of Undistorted Powder patterns by Effortless Recoupling).HBA belongs to an important class of thermotropic liquid crystals which are structurally simple and often used as starting materials for many novel mesogens. As this molecule could serve as an ideal model compound, high resolution13C NMR studies of HBA in solution, solid and liquid crystalline phases have been also undertaken. The CSA values obtained from the 2D SUPER experiment showed good agreement to those computed by DFT calculations. The CSA values were used for obtaining the order parameter of the system at different temperatures. These matched well the order parameter obtained from the 13C-1 H dipolar couplings in the nematic phase determined by SLF spectroscopy at various temperatures. A knowledge of the CSA of the carbons is thus very useful, as they can be used for gaining knowledge about the system from the chemical shifts obtained from a simple 1D spectrum. In chapter-4, 1-and 2-dimensional13CNMR techniques have been utilized to obtain extensive information about some novel mesogenic molecules. Four molecules of different structure and topology have been taken up for study. These molecules have the following features. Mesogen-1 has a terminal hydroxyl group. Such systems with further modification can result in mesogenic monomers for side chain liquid crystalline polymers. Mesogen-2 has a dimethyl amino group at one end and has three phenyl groups connected by appropriate linking units that form the core. In the third case, mesogen-3, the terminal hydroxyl group of mesogen-1 is replaced with a hydrogen such that13C-1 H dipolar couplings provide directly information on molecular ordering and orientation. In the fourth case, mesogen-4, the core is built with four phenyl rings. Here the fourth ring is linked to other three rings via a flexible chain unit. In each of these cases the 2DSLFNMR experiments have been carried out where13C-1 H dipolar couplings as well as13C chemical shifts were used for obtaining the order parameters of various segments of the molecule. The data provide useful insight into the phase behaviour, ordering and orientation of the molecules. Chapter-5 discusses the applications of the natural abundance 13CNMR techniques to thiophene based mesogens, that have the potential for use in molecular electronics material. Typically, these molecules consist of phenyl rings appropriately connected by linking units with thiophene. Different core units as well as different linking units to thiophene have been considered. The six mesogens thus obtained have been investigated in detail using 1D and 2D NMR methods.13C-1 H dipolar couplings have been used to obtain ordering information, that show interesting correlation to the molecular orientation and dynamics.

Analyse de structures vibrantes dotées de non-linéarités localisées à jeu à l'aide des modes non-linéaires / Analysis of vibrating structures with localized nonlinearities using nonlinear normal modes

Moussi, El hadi 17 December 2013 (has links)
Le travail de cette thèse a été réalisé dans le cadre d'une collaboration entre EDF R&D et le LMA de Marseille (CNRS). Le but était de développer des outils théoriques et numériques pour le calcul de modes non-linéaires de structures industrielles possédant des non-linéarités localisées à jeu. La méthode de calcul utilisée est une combinaison de la méthode d'équilibrage harmonique (EH) et de la méthode asymptotique numérique (MAN), appelée EHMAN. Elle est réputée pour sa robustesse sur les problèmes réguliers. L'enjeu de ce travail de thèse est de l'appliquer sur des problèmes non-réguliers régularisés de type butée à jeu pour lequel un grand nombre d'harmonique est nécessaire. Des améliorations ont été apportées à la méthode de base pour rendre effectif le traitement de modèles à "grand" nombre de degrés de liberté (DDL). Les développements réalisés pendant la thèse ont été capitalisés par la création de nouveaux opérateurs dans Code_Aster.Une étude approfondie d'un système à 2 degrés de liberté a permis de faire émerger quelques caractéristiques des systèmes non-linéaires à jeu. Celles-ci ont servi entre autre à établir une méthodologie pour l'étude de systèmes à grand nombre de DDL. Pour finir, la potentialité des modes non-linéaires comme outil de diagnostic vibratoire est démontrée avec l'étude d'un tube cintré de générateur de vapeur. Le calcul des modes non-linéaires a monté l'existence d'une interaction entre un mode hors-plan (basse fréquence) et un mode plan (haute fréquence) expliquant des régimes vibratoires non-standards. Ce résultat, impossible à obtenir avec les outils de l'analyse modale linéaire, est confirmé expérimentalement. / This work is a collaboration between EDF R&D and the Laboratory of Mechanics and Acoustics. The objective is to develop theoretical and numerical tools to compute nonlinear normal modes (NNMs) of structures with localized nonlinearities.We use an approach combining the harmonic balance and the asymptotic numerical methods, known for its robustness principally for smooth systems. Regularization techniques are used to apply this approach for the study of nonsmooth problems. Moreover, several aspects of the method are improved to allow the computation of NNMs for systems with a high number of degrees of freedom (DOF). Finally, the method is implemented in Code_Aster, an open-source finite element solver developed by EDF R&D.The nonlinear normal modes of a two degrees-of-freedom system are studied and some original characteristics are observed. These observations are then used to develop a methodology for the study of systems with a high number of DOFs. The developed method is finally used to compute the NNMs for a model U-tube of a nuclear plant steam generator. The analysis of the NNMs reveals the presence of an interaction between an out-of-plane (low frequency) and an in-plane (high frequency) modes, a result also confirmed by the experiment. This modal interaction is not possible using linear modal analysis and confirms the interest of NNMs as a diagnostic tool in structural dynamics.

Réductions hamiltoniennes en physique des plasmas autour de la gyrocinétique intrinsèque / Hamiltonian reductions in plasma physics about intrinsic gyrokinetics

De guillebon de resnes, Loic 16 September 2013 (has links)
La gyrocinétique est un modèle clef pour la microturbulence en physique des plasmas. Elle présente encore plusieurs difficultés, qui pourraient invalider ses équations. Ce rapport de thèse clarifie trois d'entre elles. Tout d'abord, une de des coordonnées causait des soucis, d'un point de vue tant physique que mathématique ; une coordonnée adéquate est introduite, qui dissipe les difficultés et explique les structures intrinsèques sous-jacentes. Ensuite, des relations de récurrence explicites sont obtenues pour tous les ordres du développement perturbatif. Enfin, en utilisant la structure hamiltonienne de la dynamique, le couplage plasma-champ électromagnétique est implémenté d'un façon plus adaptée, avec d'importantes conséquences sur les équations gyrocinétiques.Plusieurs autres résultats sont obtenus, e.g. sur l'origine de l'invariant adiabatique centre-guide, sur une transformation centre-guide minimale très efficace, ou sur un modèle hamiltonien intermédiaire entre Vlasov-Maxwell et la gyrocinétique, dont les caractéristiques de Vlasov contiennent à la fois la dynamique lente centre-guide et la dynamique rapide du gyro-angle. Diverses méthodes de réduction sont utilisées, développées ou introduites, e.g. une transformée de Lie du mouvement, un relèvement transférant les réductions de la dynamique des particules à la dynamique des champs, ou une troncature reliée à la fois à la théorie des contraintes de Dirac et à une projection sur une sous-algèbre. Outre la gyrocinétique, cela clarifie d'autres réductions hamiltoniennes en plasmas, e.g. pour une dynamique incompressible ou électrostatique, pour la MHD, ou pour des fermetures fluides avec tenseur de pression. / Gyrokinetics is a key model for plasma micro-turbulence. It still suffers from several issues, which could imply to reconsider the equations. This thesis dissertation clarifies three of them. First, one of the coordinates caused questions, both from a physical and from a mathematical point of view; a suitable constrained coordinate is introduced, which removes the issues from the theory and explains the intrinsic structures underlying the questions. Second, explicit induction relations are obtained to go arbitrary order in the perturbative expansion. Third, using the Hamiltonian structure of the dynamics, the coupling between the plasma and the electromagnetic field is implemented in a more appropriate way, with strong consequences on the gyrokinetic equations. Several other results are obtained, for instance about the origin of the guiding-center adiabatic invariant, about a very efficient minimal guiding-center transformation, or about an intermediate Hamiltonian model between Vlasov-Maxwell and gyrokinetics, where the characteristics include both the slow guiding-center dynamics and the fast gyro-angle dynamics. In addition, various reduction methods are used, introduced or developed, e.g. a Lie-transform of the equations of motion, a litfing method to transfer particle reductions to the corresponding Hamiltonian field dynamics, or a truncation method related both to Dirac's theory of constraints and to projections onto Lie-subalgebras. Besides gyrokinetics, this is useful to clarify other Hamiltonian reductions in plasma physics, e.g. for incompressible or electrostatic dynamics, for magnetohydrodynamics, or for fluid closures including moments of order two.

Sur certains systèmes hamiltoniens liés à l’équation de Szegő cubique / On certain Hamiltonian systems related to the cubic Szegő equation

Xu, Haiyan 14 September 2015 (has links)
Cette thèse est principalement consacrée à l’étude du comportement en temps long de solutions de certaines équations aux dérivées partielles hamiltoniennes, du type i∂_t u=X_H (u), en particulier l’existence globale, la croissance des normes de Sobolev, la diffusion et l’approximation par la dynamique résonante.Dans ce contexte, nous considérons d’abord une perturbation de l’équation de Szegő cubique par un potentiel linéaire, i∂_t u=∏ |u|² u+α∫ u,α∈R, (α-Szegő) où ∏▒ désigne le projecteur de Szegő sur les fréquences positives. Pour α=0, cette équation est l’équation de Szegő cubique, étudiée récemment par Gérard et Grellier comme modèle mathématique d’équation non linéaire et non dispersive. Pour l’équation (α–Szegő), nous établissons le caractère bien posé et la complète intégrabilité, et étudions la dynamique des valeurs singulières des opérateurs de Hankel associés. En outre, nous montrons les propriétés suivantes pour cette équation, sur une classe de sous–variétés invariantes de dimensions finies arbitrairement grandes : si α<0, toute trajectoire est relativement compacte, et toute norme de Sobolev est bornée le long de cette trajectoire. Siα>0, il existe des trajectoires le long desquelles toutes les normes de Sobolev de régularité plus grande que ½ tendent exponentiellement vers l’infini en temps.Dans une seconde partie, nous étudions un système mixte Schrödinger–ondes sur le cylinder (x,y)∈R×T , i∂_t U+∂_xx U-|D_y |U=|U|² U,(WS)En adaptant une idée de Hani–Pausader–Tzvetkov–Visciglia, nous établissons une théorie du scattering modifiée reliant les petites solutions de cette équation et les petites solutions de l’équation de Szegő cubique. En combinant cette théorie du scattering avec un résultat récent de Gérard–Grellier, nous en déduisons l’existence de solutions globales de (WS) qui sont non bornées dans l’espace L_x² H_y^s (R×T) pour tout s>½ . / The main purpose of this Ph.D. thesis is to study the long time behavior of solutionsto some Hamiltonian PDEs, i∂_t u=X_H (u), including global existence, growth of high Sobolev norms, scattering and long time approximation by resonant dynamics.In this context, at first we consider the Szegő equation on the circle S1 perturbed bya linear potential, i∂_t u=∏ |u|² u+α∫ u,α∈R, (α-Szegő) where ∏ is the projector onto the non-negative frequencies. For α=0, it turns out tobe the cubic Szegő equation, which was recently introduced by Gérard and Grellier as amathematical toy model of a non-linear totally non dispersive equation.We study the global well-posedness, the integrability and the dynamics of the singularvalues of the related Hankel operators of the α –Szegő equation. Moreover, we establishthe following properties for this equation on a class of invariant submanifolds, with anarbitrary large dimension. For α<0, any trajectory is relatively compact, and all theSobolev norms are bounded on it. For α>0, there exist trajectories on which everySobolev norm of regularity s>½ , exponentially tends to infinity in time.Second, we study the wave-guide Schrödinger equation posed on the spatial domain(x,y)∈R×T ,i∂_t U+∂_xx U-|D_y |U=|U|² U,(WS)Adapting an idea by Hani–Pausader–Tzvetkov–Visciglia, we establish a modified scattering theory between small solutions to this equation and small solutions to the cubic Szegő equation. Combining this scattering theory with a recent result by Gérard–Grellier, we infer existence of global solutions to (WS) which are unbounded in the space L_x^2 H_y^s (R×T) for every s>½ .

Computer-aided Computation of Abelian integrals and Robust Normal Forms

Johnson, Tomas January 2009 (has links)
This PhD thesis consists of a summary and seven papers, where various applications of auto-validated computations are studied. In the first paper we describe a rigorous method to determine unknown parameters in a system of ordinary differential equations from measured data with known bounds on the noise of the measurements. Papers II, III, IV, and V are concerned with Abelian integrals. In Paper II, we construct an auto-validated algorithm to compute Abelian integrals. In Paper III we investigate, via an example, how one can use this algorithm to determine the possible configurations of limit cycles that can bifurcate from a given Hamiltonian vector field. In Paper IV we construct an example of a perturbation of degree five of a Hamiltonian vector field of degree five, with 27 limit cycles, and in Paper V we construct an example of a perturbation of degree seven of a Hamiltonian vector field of degree seven, with 53 limit cycles. These are new lower bounds for the maximum number of limit cycles that can bifurcate from a Hamiltonian vector field for those degrees. In Papers VI, and VII, we study a certain kind of normal form for real hyperbolic saddles, which is numerically robust. In Paper VI we describe an algorithm how to automatically compute these normal forms in the planar case. In Paper VII we use the properties of the normal form to compute local invariant manifolds in a neighbourhood of the saddle.
