EDP : Patrick Ciarlet (ENSTA) : How to solve problems with sign-changing coefficients

Bâtiment Sophie Germain, salle G210

This talk summarizes joint works by the speaker and Anne-Sophie Bonnet-Ben Dhia, Lucas Chesnel, Camille Carvalho and Juan-Pablo Borthagaray on how to solve problems with discontinuous, sign-changing coefficients. In electromagnetic theory, the effective response of specifically designed materials is modeled

AG : Andrea Petracci (Institut fûr Mathematik, Berlin) : Smoothing toric Fano 3-folds

Bâtiment Fermat, salle 2205 45 avenue des Etats-Unis, Versailles, France

Deformations of affine toric varieties have been extensively studied by Klaus Altmann and depend on Minkowski decompositions of polytopes. In this talk, which is based on joint work with Alessio Corti and Paul Hacking, I will explain how to construct
