These problems have in common the presence of a function M : R+ [ f0g ! R+; known as Kirchhoff-type function. The first problem deals with a Kirchhoff type equation involving subcritical exponents while the second problem deals with the same equation but with a critical Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg exponent. In the third problem, we study a system of Kirchhoff type equations involving critical Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg exponents. The latter problem involves a Kirchhoff type operator and a nonlinear boundary condition. Due to the presence of the Kirchhoff type operator in the equations, these problems are called nonlocal problems. This phenomenon causes some mathematical difficulties, which makes the study of such a class of problem, particularly interesting. In our studies we used classical variational methods such as The Mountain Pass Theorem and the Krasnoseslkii genus theory. / Nesse trabalho, estudamos a existência de soluções fracas para quatro problemas elípticos não lineares envolvendo equações do tipo Kirchhoff. Esses problemas apresentam em comum a presença de uma função M : R+ [ f0g ! R+; conhecida como função do tipo Kirchhoff. O primeiro problema estudado trata de uma equação do tipo Kirchhoff envolvendo expoentes subcríticos, enquanto o segundo problema trata da mesma equação envolvendo o expoente crítico de Caffarelli-Kohn Nirenberg. No terceiro problema, estudamos um sistema de equações do tipo Kirchhoff envolvendo expoentes críticos de Caffarelli-Kohn-Nirenberg. O último problema estudado envolve um operador do tipo Kirchhoff e uma condição de fronteira não-linear. Devido ao operador do tipo Kirchhoff nas equações, esses problemas são ditos não-locais. As dificuldades matemáticas encontradas nesse fenômeno é o que torna o estudo dessa classe de problemas particularmente interessante. Em nossos estudos utilizamos métodos variacionais clássicos, como o Teorema do Passo da Montanha e a teoria de gênero de Krasnoseslkii.

Este trabalho tem como objetivo a análise vibratória livre de placas retangulares bem como resultados analíticos precisos e abrangentes, baseando-se na equação biharmônica, obtida a partir das hipóteses de Kirchhoff-Love. São fixadas as condições de duas bordas opostas como simplesmente apoiadas e outras seis combinações possíveis, para as demais bordas, de acordo com as condições engastada (fixa), simplesmente apoiada (apoiada) e livre. São apresentadas as seis equações características exatas. Os modos são determinados simbolicamente através de uma formulação matricial genérica a qual permite o uso de uma base espectral clássica ou de uma base dinâmica. Este procedimento amplia a metodologia introduzida por Navier e por Levy, obtendo-se uma equação matricial singular. Parâmetros de frequência precisos, assim como os modos, são apresentados para uma faixa de razões de aspecto (a/b = 2/5, 2/3, 1, 3/2 e 3/5) para cada caso avaliado. Observa-se que para materiais isotrópicos as frequências naturais são influenciadas significativamente pela razão de Poisson (v). Devido à simetria geométrica existente em relação ao eixo y, os modos podem ser separados em uma parte simétrica e outra anti-simétrica, permitindo diminuir a complexidade computacional. / This work has, as its main objective, the free vibration analysis of rectangular plates as well as comprehensive and accurate analytical results, based on the biharmonic equation, obtained from Kirchho -Love assumptions. We set the boundary conditions of two opposite edges as simply-supported and other six possible combinations, for the other two edges, of clamped, simply-supported, and free conditions. The six characteristic equations are given. The mode shapes are simbolically determined through general matrix formulation which allows the use of the classic espectral base or the dynamic base. These procedure enlarge the Navier and L evy methodology, producing a singular matrix equation. Accurate frequency parameters, as well as the mode shapes, are presented for a range of aspect ratios (a=b = 2=5, 2=3, 1, 3=2 e 3=5) for each case. It has been noticed that for isotropic materials, the natural frequencys were signi cantly in uenced by the Poisson's ratio ( ). Because of the geometric symmetry which exists about the y axis, vibration modes can be separated into a y-symmetric part and a y- antisymmetric part, allowing to decrease the computational e orts.

The mode of tectonics by which early Archean proto-continents were deformed was investigated in the Pilbara Craton in Western Australia, which has not been substantially tectonically deformed since ~3.2 Ga. The craton consists of a unique dome and keel structure where vertical, low-grade metamorphism basaltic greenstone keels surround large granitic (TTG) domes. The dominant model for 3.5-3.2 Ga deformation in the Pilbara is gravity-driven vertical tectonics, or partial convective overturn in a hot crust. In this model, the granitic bodies rose upward as solid-state diapirs, and the greenstones "sagducted" downward around the granitic bodies. Australian scientists acquired deep seismic reflection data crossing a granitoid-greenstone boundary. Their processing did not image the geologically mapped steep dip of the boundary because standard methods limit the maximum dip. A 37-km section of these data were reprocessed using 2D Kirchhoff prestack depth migration to include vertical dips. The western half of the migrated section images a granitoid dome with weak to no reflectivity that extends deeper than 4 km. The eastern half images 2-3 km of layered volcanic rocks of the Fortescue Group overlying the greenstones. Seismic velocity models created using travel-time tomography suggest a thin weathering layer overlying slightly fractured crystalline rocks. These fractures close within 200-300 m depth, and velocity reaches bedrock speeds consistent with expected values of granitoids to the west and volcanic rocks of the Fortescue Group to the east. The best migrated image contains several reflections with dips (~45-55˚) cross-cutting each other from both directions at the location of the expected granitoid-greenstone boundary. This strongly suggests the presence of steep dips in the upper ~1.5 km but does not provide a definitive image. This inconclusive result is due to strong surface-wave noise, the crooked 2D seismic line, and the 3D nature of the geologic boundary at the seismic line. A very small seismic velocity gradient within the crystalline bedrock limits the maximum depth to which vertical features can be imaged. / Master of Science / The Pilbara craton is one of the few exposed and intact pieces of continents that were formed ~3.2 billion years ago. This research analyzes how these early land masses were deformed. There are two methods by which early land masses evolved—vertical tectonics (a more rudimentary, gravity-driven form of plate movement) or horizontal tectonics (which is closer to modern-day tectonics and requires many stages of deformation). This area has a unique dome-and-keel structure where greenstones (metamorphosed volcanics) are vertically wrapped around large granitic domes. Studying the vertical features of the greenstones will allow us to ascertain how tectonics evolved in the area. A seismic survey was conducted in 2018 in the area. These data were reprocessed to include steep dips to extract the exact location of the steeply dipping boundary between the dome and keel structure at depth. The resulting image contains inconclusive evidence due to the physical limitations of the geology and the sharp bend in the seismic line. Further studies need to be done to determine if the Pilbara Craton was formed by vertical tectonics.

Many critical systems are based on the combination of components from different physical domains (e.g. mechanical, electrical, hydraulic), and are mathematically modeled as Switched Multi-Domain Kirchhoff Networks (SMDKN). In this thesis, we tackle a major obstacle to formal verification of SMDKN, namely devising a global model amenable to verification in the form of a Hybrid Automaton. This requires the combination of the local dynamics of the components, expressed as Differential Algebraic Equations, according to Kirchhoff's laws, depending on the (exponentially many) operation modes of the network. We propose an automated SMT-based method to analyze networks from multiple physical domains, detecting which modes induce invalid (i.e. inconsistent) constraints, and to produce a Hybrid Automaton model that accurately describes, in terms of Ordinary Differential Equations, the system evolution in the valid modes, catching also the possible non-deterministic behaviors. The experimental evaluation demonstrates that the proposed approach allows several complex multi-domain systems to be formally analyzed and model checked against various system requirements.

Cette thèse est composée de deux parties indépendantes. La première est consacrée à l'étude de quelques problèmes elliptiques de type de Kirchhoff de la forme suivante : -M(ʃΩNul² dx) Δu = f(x, u) xЄΩ ; u(x) = o xЄƋΩ où Ω cRN, N ≥ 2, f une fonction de Carathéodory et M une fonction strictement positive et continue sur R+. Dans le cas où la fonction f est asymptotiquement linéaire à l’infini par rapport à l'inconnue u, on montre, en combinant une technique de troncature et la méthode variationnelle, que le problème admet au moins une solution positive quand la fonction M est non décroissante. Et si f(x, u) = |u|p-1 u + λg(x), où p >0, λ un paramètre réel et g une fonction de classe C1 et changeant de signe sur Ω, alors sous certaines hypothèses sur M, il existe deux réels positifs λ. et λ. tels que le problème admet des solutions positives si 0 < λ <λ. et n'admet pas de solutions positives si λ > λ.. Dans la deuxième partie, on étudie deux problèmes soulevés en dynamique des fluides. Le premier est une généralisation d'un modèle décrivant la propagation unidirectionnelle dispersive des ondes longues dans un milieu à deux fluides. En écrivant le problème sous la forme d'une équation de point fixe, on montre l'existence d'au moins une solution positive. On montre ensuite sa symétrie et son unicité. Le deuxième problème consiste à prouver l'existence de la vitesse, la pression et la température d'un fluide non newtonien, incompressible et non isotherme, occupant un domaine borné, en prenant en compte un terme de convection. L’originalité dans ce travail est que la viscosité du fluide ne dépend pas seulement de la vitesse mais aussi de la température et du module du tenseur des taux de déformations. En se basant sur la notion des opérateurs pseudo-monotones, le théorème de De Rham et celui de point fixe de Schauder, l'existence du triplet, (vitesse, pression, température) est démontré / This thesis consists of two independent parts. The first is devoted to the study of some elliptic problems of Kirchhoff-type in the following form : -M(ʃΩNul² dx) Δu = f(x, u) xЄΩ ; u(x) = o xЄƋΩ where Ω cRN, N ≥ 2, f is a Caratheodory function and M is a strictly positive and continuous function on R+. In the case where the function f is asymptotically linear at infinity with respect to the unknown u, we show, by combining a truncation technique and the variational method, that the problem admits a positive solution when the function M is nondecreasing. And if f(x, u) = |u|p-1 u + λg(x) where p> 0, λ a real parameter and g is a function of class C1 and changes the sign in Ω, then under some assumptions on M, there exist two positive real λ. and λ. such that the problem admits positive solutions if 0 < λ <λ., and no positive solutions if λ > λ.. In the second part, we study two problems arising in fluid dynamics. The first is a generalization of a model describing the unidirectional propagation of long waves in dispersive medium with two fluids. By writing the problem as a fixed point equation, we prove the existence of at least one positive solution. We then show its symmetry and uniqueness. The second problem is to prove the existence of the velocity, pressure and temperature of a non-Newtonian, incompressible and isothermal fluid, occupying a bounded domain, taking into account a convection term. The originality in this work is that the fluid viscosity depends not only on the velocity but also on the temperature and the modulus of deformation rate tensor. Based on the notion of pseudo-monotone operators, the De Rham theorem and the Schauder fixed point theorem, the existence of the triplet, (velocity, pressure, temperature) is shown

Gegenstand dieser Arbeit ist die numerische Approximation von Eigenwerten elliptischer Differentialoperatoren vermittels der adaptiven finite-Elemente-Methode (AFEM). Durch lokale Netzverfeinerung können derartige Verfahren den Rechenaufwand im Vergleich zu uniformer Verfeinerung deutlich reduzieren und sind daher von großer praktischer Bedeutung. Diese Arbeit behandelt adaptive Algorithmen für Finite-Elemente-Methoden (FEMs) für drei selbstadjungierte Modellprobleme: den Laplaceoperator, das Stokes-System und den biharmonischen Operator. In praktischen Anwendungen führen Störungen der Koeffizienten oder der Geometrie auf Eigenwert-Haufen (Cluster). Dies macht simultanes Markieren im adaptiven Algorithmus notwendig. In dieser Arbeit werden optimale Konvergenzraten für einen praktischen adaptiven Algorithmus für Eigenwert-Cluster des Laplaceoperators (konforme und nichtkonforme P1-FEM), des Stokes-Systems (nichtkonforme P1-FEM) und des biharmonischen Operators (Morley-FEM) bewiesen. Fehlerabschätzungen in der L2-Norm und Bestapproximations-Resultate für diese Nichtstandard-Methoden erfordern neue Techniken, die in dieser Arbeit entwickelt werden. Dadurch wird der Beweis optimaler Konvergenzraten ermöglicht. Die Optimalität bezüglich einer nichtlinearen Approximationsklasse betrachtet die Approximation des invarianten Unterraums, der von den Eigenfunktionen im Cluster aufgespannt wird. Der Fehler der Eigenwerte kann dazu in Bezug gesetzt werden: Die hierfür notwendigen Eigenwert-Fehlerabschätzungen für nichtkonforme Finite-Elemente-Methoden werden in dieser Arbeit gezeigt. Die numerischen Tests für die betrachteten Modellprobleme legen nahe, dass der vorgeschlagene Algorithmus, der bezüglich aller Eigenfunktionen im Cluster markiert, einem Markieren, das auf den Vielfachheiten der Eigenwerte beruht, überlegen ist. So kann der neue Algorithmus selbst im Fall, dass alle Eigenwerte im Cluster einfach sind, den vorasymptotischen Bereich signifikant verringern. / The numerical approximation of the eigenvalues of elliptic differential operators with the adaptive finite element method (AFEM) is of high practical interest because the local mesh-refinement leads to reduced computational costs compared to uniform refinement. This thesis studies adaptive algorithms for finite element methods (FEMs) for three model problems, namely the eigenvalues of the Laplacian, the Stokes system and the biharmonic operator. In practice, little perturbations in coefficients or in the geometry immediately lead to eigenvalue clusters which requires the simultaneous marking in adaptive finite element methods. This thesis proves optimality of a practical adaptive algorithm for eigenvalue clusters for the conforming and nonconforming P1 FEM for the eigenvalues of the Laplacian, the nonconforming P1 FEM for the eigenvalues of the Stokes system and the Morley FEM for the eigenvalues of the biharmonic operator. New techniques from the medius analysis enable the proof of L2 error estimates and best-approximation properties for these nonstandard finite element methods and thereby lead to the proof of optimality. The optimality in terms of the concept of nonlinear approximation classes is concerned with the approximation of invariant subspaces spanned by eigenfunctions of an eigenvalue cluster. In order to obtain eigenvalue error estimates, this thesis presents new estimates for nonconforming finite elements which relate the error of the eigenvalue approximation to the error of the approximation of the invariant subspace. Numerical experiments for the aforementioned model problems suggest that the proposed practical algorithm that uses marking with respect to all eigenfunctions within the cluster is superior to marking that is based on the multiplicity of the eigenvalues: Even if all exact eigenvalues in the cluster are simple, the simultaneous approximation can reduce the pre-asymptotic range significantly.

Cette thèse est consacrée à la modélisation mathématique du flux sanguin dans les artères en présence de la sténose à cause de l'athérosclérose. L'athérosclérose est une maladie vasculaire complexe caractérisée par la formation d'une plaque menant au rétrécissement de l'artère. Elle est responsable des crises cardiaques et des accidents vasculaires cérébraux. Quels que soient les nombreux facteurs de risque identifiés - cholestérol et lipides, pression, régime alimentaire malsain et obésité - seuls des facteurs mécaniques et hémodynamiques peuvent donner une cause précise de cette maladie. Dans la première partie de la thèse, nous introduisons le modèle mathématique tridimensionnel décrivant l'introduction entre le sang et la paroi artérielle. Le modèle consiste à coupler la dynamique du flux sanguin donnée par les équations de Navier-Stokes formulées dans le cadre Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) avec les équations élastodynamiques décrivant l'élasticité de la paroi artérielle considérée comme un matériau hyperélastique modélisé par la loi de comportement non-linéaire de Saint Venant-Kirchhoff en tant que système d'interaction fluide-structure. Théoriquement, nous prouvons l'existence et l'unicité locale dans le temps de la solution pour ce système lorsque le fluide est supposé être un fluide homogène Newtonien incompressible et que la structure est décrite par la loi de comportement non-linéaire quasi-incompressible de Saint Venant-Kirchhoff. Les résultats sont établis en utilisant l'outil clé; le théorème du point fixe. La deuxième partie est consacrée à l'analyse numérique de ce modèle. Le sang est considéré comme un fluide non-Newtonien dont le comportement et les propriétés rhéologiques sont décrits par le modèle de Carreau, tandis que la paroi artérielle est un matériau homogène incompressible décrit par les équations élastodynamiques quasi-statiques. Les simulations sont effectuées dans l'espace à deux dimensions R^2 à l'aide du logiciel FreeFem ++ en utilisant la méthode des éléments finis. Nous nous concentrons sur l'étude de la viscosité, de la vitesse et des contraintes de cisaillement maximale. En outre, nous visons à localiser les zones de recirculation qui sont formées à la suite de l'existence de la sténose. En se basant sur de ces résultats, nous procédons à la détection de la zone de solidification où le sang passe de l'état liquide à un matériau de type gelée. Ensuite, nous spécifions que le sang solidifié est un matériau élastique linéaire qui obéit à la loi de Hooke et qui subit à une force de surface externe représentant la contrainte exercée par le sang sur la zone de solidification. Les résultats numériques concernant le sang solidifié sont obtenus en résolvant les équations d'élasticité linéaires à l'aide de FreeFem ++. Nous analysons principalement la déformation de cette zone ainsi que les contraintes de cisaillement la paroi. Les résultats obtenus vont nous permettre de proposer une hypothèse pour la formulation d'un modèle de rupture. / This thesis is devoted to the mathematical modeling of the blood flow in stenosed arteries due to atherosclerosis. Atherosclerosis is a complex vascular disease characterized by the build up of a plaque leading to the narrowing of the artery. It is responsible for heart attacks and strokes. Regardless of the many risk factors that have been identified- cholesterol and lipids, pressure, unhealthy diet and obesity- only mechanical and hemodynamic factors can give a precise cause of this disease. In the first part of the thesis, we introduce the three dimensional mathematical model describing the blood-wall setting. The model consists of coupling the dynamics of the blood flow given by the Navier-Stokes equations formulated in the Arbitrary Lagrangian Eulerian (ALE) framework with the elastodynamic equations describing the elasticity of the arterial wall considered as a hyperelastic material modeled by the non-linear Saint Venant-Kirchhoff model as a fluid-structure interaction (FSI) system. Theoretically, we prove local in time existence and uniqueness of solution for this system when the fluid is assumed to be an incompressible Newtonian homogeneous fluid and the structure is described by the quasi-incompressible non-linear Saint Venant-Kirchhoff model. Results are established relying on the key tool; the fixed point theorem. The second part is devoted for the numerical analysis of the FSI model. The blood is considered to be a non-Newtonian fluid whose behavior and rheological properties are described by Carreau model, while the arterial wall is a homogeneous incompressible material described by the quasi-static elastodynamic equations. Simulations are performed in the two dimensional space R^2 using the finite element method (FEM) software FreeFem++. We focus on investigating the pattern of the viscosity, the speed and the maximum shear stress. Further, we aim to locate the recirculation zones which are formed as a consequence of the existence of the stenosis. Based on these results we proceed to detect the solidification zone where the blood transits from liquid state to a jelly-like material. Next, we specify the solidified blood to be a linear elastic material that obeys Hooke's law and which is subjected to an external surface force representing the stress exerted by the blood on the solidification zone. Numerical results concerning the solidified blood are obtained by solving the linear elasticity equations using FreeFem++. Mainly, we analyze the deformation of this zone as well as the wall shear stress. These analyzed results will allow us to give our hypothesis to derive a rupture model.

Das Ziel dieser Arbeit ist, drei Werke aus verschiedenen Epochen der deutschen Literaturgeschichte zu analysieren: Der Sandmann (1816), von ETA Hoffmann, Der Sandmann (1992), von Bodo Kirchhoff und Wolfgang Herrndorfs Sand (2011). Die Beziehungen zwischen ihnen können auf drei Ebenen festgestellt werden: auf der Narratologischen, auf der thematisch/metaphorischen Ebene und auf der der Identität. Die erste Ebene bezieht sich auf die Gemeinsamkeiten aus einer strukturellen Sichtweise als Metafiktion, Multiperspektivität und wechselnde Stimmen, die die Elemente des unzuverlässigen Effekts des Erzählers erzeugen. Auf der thematisch/metaphorische Ebene kann das Visuelle dem Sand-Element zugeschrieben werden, sowohl als konstitutives Element der Wüste, in der Luftspiegelungen geschehen, als auch als Sand-Korn in den Augen, was zu der Metapher der verzerrten oder erfundenen Visionen konvergiert. Zum Dritten bezieht sich die Identitätsebene vor allem auf die Konstruktion von Identität durch die Sicht der Anderen, die in den Büchern einem Zusammenbruch des Ichs gleichkommt, indem das Ich sich destabilisiert und kollabiert. Die Protagonisten dieser Werke repräsentieren vor allem den Menschen als ein unwiderrufliches Subjekt des Werdens. / Esta dissertação tem como propósito analisar três obras de diferentes momentos na história literária alemã: O homem de areia (1816) de E.T.A Hoffmann, O homem de areia (1992) de Bodo Kirchhoff e Areia (2011) de Wolfgang Herrndorf. O relacionamento entre elas se dá em três níveis distintos: narratológico, temático/metafórico e identitário. O primeiro refere-se aos pontos em comum do ponto de vista estrutural, como a metaficção, a multiperspectividade e a alternância de vozes, que são elementos generativos do efeito inconfiável dos narradores. No plano temático/ metafórico, podem se arrolar a questão visual atribuída ao elemento da areia que, tanto como elemento constitutivo do deserto, onde miragens acontecem, quanto como um grão intruso nos olhos, converge para a metáfora da visão distorcida ou inventada. Por último, o nível identitário refere-se, especialmente, à construção da identidade a partir do olhar do outro, o que nos livros ocorre como um colapso, em que o eu se desestabiliza, resultando assim na sucumbência. Os protagonistas destas obras representam, sobretudo, o homem como sujeito irrevogável do devir.

Les travaux de cette thèse sont regroupés en trois grandes parties traitant respectivement-des ondes stationnaires des systèmes de Schr"odinger-Maxwell-Proca et de Klein-Gordon-Maxwell-Proca sur une variété riemannienne fermée (compacte sans bord dans toute la thèse),-de systèmes elliptiques de Kirchhoff sur une variété riemannienne fermée,-de phénomènes d'explosion propres aux petites dimensions. / This thesis, divided into three main parts, deals with-standing waves for Schrödinger-Maxwell-Proca and Klein-Gordon-Maxwell-Proca systems on a closed Riemannian manifold (compact without boundary during all the thesis),-elliptic Kirchhoff systems on a closed manifold,-low-dimensional blow-up phenomena.
