Weak hypergraph regularity and linear hypergraphs

We consider conditions which allow the embedding of linear hypergraphs of fixed size. In particular, we prove that any k-uniform hypergraph H of positive uniform density contains all linear k-uniform hypergraphs of a given size. More precisely, we show that for all integers l >= k >= 2 and every d > 0 there exists Q > 0 for which the following holds: if His a sufficiently large k-uniform hypergraph with the property that the density of H induced on every vertex subset of size on is at least d, then H contains every linear k-uniform hypergraph F with l vertices. The main ingredient in the proof of this result is a counting lemma for linear hypergraphs, which establishes that the straightforward extension of graph epsilon-regularity to hypergraphs suffices for counting linear hypergraphs. We also consider some related problems. (C) 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

Partitions spectrales optimales pour les problèmes aux valeurs propres de Dirichlet et de Neumann

Les façons d'aborder l'étude du spectre du laplacien sont multiples. Ce mémoire se concentre sur les partitions spectrales optimales de domaines planaires. Plus précisément, lorsque nous imposons des conditions aux limites de Dirichlet, nous cherchons à trouver la ou les partitions qui réalisent l'infimum (sur l'ensemble des partitions à un certain nombre de composantes) du maximum de la première valeur propre du laplacien sur tous ses sous-domaines. Dans les dernières années, cette question a été activement étudiée par B. Helffer, T. Hoffmann-Ostenhof, S. Terracini et leurs collaborateurs, qui ont obtenu plusieurs résultats analytiques et numériques importants. Dans ce mémoire, nous proposons un problème analogue, mais pour des conditions aux limites de Neumann cette fois. Dans ce contexte, nous nous intéressons aux partitions spectrales maximales plutôt que minimales. Nous cherchons alors à vérifier le maximum sur toutes les $k$-partitions possibles du minimum de la première valeur propre non nulle de chacune des composantes. Cette question s'avère plus difficile que sa semblable dans la mesure où plusieurs propriétés des valeurs propres de Dirichlet, telles que la monotonicité par rapport au domaine, ne tiennent plus. Néanmoins, quelques résultats sont obtenus pour des 2-partitions de domaines symétriques et des partitions spécifiques sont trouvées analytiquement pour des domaines rectangulaires. En outre, des propriétés générales des partitions spectrales optimales et des problèmes ouverts sont abordés.

Mixed partitions of sets of triples into small planes

We continue our study of partitions of the set of all ((v)(3)) triples chosen from a v-set into pairwise disjoint planes with three points per line. We develop further necessary conditions for the existence of partitions of such sets into copies of PG(2, 2) and copies of AG(2, 3), and deal with the cases v = 13, 14, 15 and 17. These partitions, together with those already known for v = 12, 16 and 18, then become starters for recursive constructions of further infinite families of partitions. (C) 2004 Elsevier B.V.

PARTITIONED ANALYSIS FOR DIMENSIONALLY-HETEROGENEOUS HYDRAULIC NETWORKS

In this work an iterative strategy is developed to tackle the problem of coupling dimensionally-heterogeneous models in the context of fluid mechanics. The procedure proposed here makes use of a reinterpretation of the original problem as a nonlinear interface problem for which classical nonlinear solvers can be applied. Strong coupling of the partitions is achieved while dealing with different codes for each partition, each code in black-box mode. The main application for which this procedure is envisaged arises when modeling hydraulic networks in which complex and simple subsystems are treated using detailed and simplified models, correspondingly. The potentialities and the performance of the strategy are assessed through several examples involving transient flows and complex network configurations.

Subcycling first- and second-order generalizations of the trapezoidal rule

Subcycling algorithms which employ multiple timesteps have been previously proposed for explicit direct integration of first- and second-order systems of equations arising in finite element analysis, as well as for integration using explicit/implicit partitions of a model. The author has recently extended this work to implicit/implicit multi-timestep partitions of both first- and second-order systems. In this paper, improved algorithms for multi-timestep implicit integration are introduced, that overcome some weaknesses of those proposed previously. In particular, in the second-order case, improved stability is obtained. Some of the energy conservation properties of the Newmark family of algorithms are shown to be preserved in the new multi-timestep extensions of the Newmark method. In the first-order case, the generalized trapezoidal rule is extended to multiple timesteps, in a simple way that permits an implicit/implicit partition. Explicit special cases of the present algorithms exist. These are compared to algorithms proposed previously. (C) 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
