We consider an elastic system containing a small region where the density is very much higher then elsewhere. Such system possesses two types of eigenvibrations, which are local and global vibrations. Complete asymptotic expansions of…
This article is devoted to the analysis of semilinear, parabolic, Stochastic Partial Differential Equations, with slow and fast time scales. Asymptotically, an averaging principle holds: the slow component converges to the solution of…
Here, we study the periodic homogenization problem of nonlinear weakly coupled systems of Hamilton-Jacobi equations in the convex setting. We establish a rate of convergence $O(\sqrt{\varepsilon})$ which is sharp.
This paper is divided in two parts. In the first part, the inverse spectral problem for tight-binding hamiltonians is studied. This problem is shown to have an infinite number of solutions for properly chosen energies. The space of such…
We show that the natural resonant frequency of a suspended flexible string is significantly modified (by one order of magnitude) by adding a freely pivoting attached mass at its lower end. This articulated system then exhibits complex…
Backward waves and negative refraction are shown to exist in plasmonic crystals whose lattice cell size is a very small fraction of the vacuum wavelength (less than 1/40th in an illustrative example). Such ``quasi-homogeneity'' is…
The propagation of waves in highly inhomogeneous media is a problem of interest in multiple fields including seismology, acoustics and electromagnetism. It is also relevant for technological applications such as the design of sound…
Starting from the fully compressible fluid equations in a plane-parallel atmosphere, we demonstrate that linear internal gravity waves are naturally pseudo-incompressible in the limit that the wave frequency $\omega$ is much less than that…
