Numerical analysis and partial differential equations (AN-EDP)

Research team - UMR 8524

Description

The research axes of the Numerical Analysis and Partial Differential Equations team cover a wide spectrum of theoretical and numerical topics:
- Analysis of PDEs and mathematical physics: study of problems from fluid mechanics (Navier-Stokes equations, MHD, Euler equations), dispersive equations (Schrödinger, Korteweg-deVries), inverse problems, classical and quantum physics, statistical mechanics, semi-classical analysis, calculus of variations applied to mechanics and micromagnetism
- Numerical analysis and approximation theory: numerical linear algebra, orthogonal polynomials, rational and Hermite-Padé approximation, asymptotic analysis, special functions, convergence acceleration, matrix functions, history of science
- Numerical methods and scientific computing: development of numerical methods (finite elements, finite volumes, ...), numerical analysis, schemes preserving asymptotics, a posteriori estimators, applications to problems from fluid mechanics, electromagnetism, plasma physics, kinetic theory of rarefied gases, quantum mechanics, optics, corrosion...
