Many problems in geometric optics or convex geometry can be recast as optimal transport problems: this includes the far-field reflector problem, Alexandrov's curvature prescription problem, etc. A popular way to solve these problems…
We provide a geometric optics description in spaces of low regularity, $L^2$ and $H^1$, of the transport of oscillations in solutions to linear and some semilinear second-order hyperbolic boundary problems along rays that graze the boundary…
Optimization under structural constraints is typically analyzed through projection or penalty methods, obscuring the geometric mechanism by which constraints shape admissible dynamics. We propose an operator-theoretic formulation in which…
We consider the acoustic field scattered by a bounded impenetrable obstacle and we study its dependence upon a certain set of parameters. As usual, the problem is modeled by an exterior Dirichlet problem for the Helmholtz equation $\Delta u…
In the present work, we study the optimal control paths in the Zermelo navigation problem from the geometric and differential equations point of view rather than the optimal control point of view, where the latter has been carried out in…
The purpose of this note is to investigate the coupling of Dirichlet and Neumann numerical boundary conditions for the transport equation set on an interval. When one starts with a stable finite difference scheme on the lattice $\mathbb{Z}$…

Optimal transport induces the Earth Mover's (Wasserstein) distance between probability distributions, a geometric divergence that is relevant to a wide range of problems. Over the last decade, two relaxations of optimal transport have been…

The Helmholtz equation is a prototypical model for time-harmonic wave propagation. Numerical solutions become increasingly challenging as the wave number $k$ grows, due to the equation's elliptic yet noncoercive character and the highly…
The method of Hessian measures is used to find the differential equation that defines the optimal shape of nonrotationally symmetric bodies with minimal resistance moving in a rare medium. The synthesis of optimal solutions is described. A…

The notion of inertial reference frame is abandoned and I replaced it by a local reference frame on which the fundamental law of mechanics is expressed. The distant interactions of cause and effect are modeled by the propagation of waves…
