We study in this paper the continuous and discrete Euler-Lagrange equations arising from a quadratic lagrangian. Those equations may be thought as numerical schemes and may be solved through a matrix based framework. When the lagrangian is…
We consider the approximation of minimal geodesics between two closed sets in $\mathbb{R}^D$ endowed with a smooth Riemannian metric. The continuous problem is formulated as the minimization of the energy functional over piecewise smooth…

We consider in detail the quantum-mechanical problem associated with the motion of a one-dimensional particle under the action of the double-well potential. Our main tool will be the euclidean (imaginary time) version of the path-integral…
We conduct numerical simulations of a model of four dimensional quantum gravity in which the path integral over continuum Euclidean metrics is approximated by a sum over combinatorial triangulations. At fixed volume the model contains a…
We study the approach to gravity in which our curved spacetime is considered as a surface in a flat ambient space of higher dimension (the embedding theory). The dynamical variable in this theory is not a metric but an embedding function.…
One approach for the simulation of metamaterials is to extend an associated continuum theory concerning its kinematic equations, and the relaxed micromorphic continuum represents such a model. It incorporates the Curl of the nonsymmetric…
In chiral Einstein-Cartan gravity, a new gauge fixing procedure is implemented recently, leading to a very economical perturbation expansion of the action. Using this formulation and the relevant gauge-fixing, we develop the ghost…

The paths on the {\bf R$^3$} real Euclidean manifold are defined as 2-dimensional simplicial strips; points are replaced by 2-simplexes and the orbits of the action of a one discrete-parameter group on the base manifold becomes a convex…

We prove quantitative Runge type approximation results for spaces of smooth zero solutions of several classes of linear partial differential operators with constant coefficients. Among others, we establish such results for arbitrary…
This paper considers paired operators in the context of the Lebesgue Hilbert space $L^2$ on the unit circle and its subspace, the Hardy space $H^2$. The kernels of such operators, together with their analytic projections, which are…
The Linear Quadratic Regulator (LQR), which is arguably the most classical problem in control theory, was recently related to kernel methods in (Aubin-Frankowski, SICON, 2021) for finite dimensional systems. We show that this result extends…
Contraction properties of the Riccati operator are studied within the context of non-stationary linear-quadratic optimal control. A lifting approach is used to obtain a bound on the rate of strict contraction, with respect to the Riemannian…
Euler's elastica model has been extensively studied and applied to image processing tasks. However, due to the high nonlinearity and nonconvexity of the involved curvature term, conventional algorithms suffer from slow convergence and high…
We introduce variants of Regge finite element metrics with enhanced properties of the trace. In particular the trace operator is surjective to a finite element space of continuous functions. Multiplying these scalar functions by the…
