Finite volume methods for elasticity and poro-elasticity
Abstract: We introduce a new class of cell-centered finite volume methods for elasticity and poro-elasticity. This class of discretization methods has the advantage that the mechanical discretization is fully compatible (in terms of grid and variables) to the standard cell-centered finite volume discretizations that are prevailing for commercial simulation of multi-phase flows in porous media.
For a specific variant of the proposed discretization, we give an overview of a convergence proof in the setting of isotropic elasticity, and address from a theoretical perspective the issues of a discrete Korn's inequality and robustness with respect to locking. Furthermore, we give numerical results for both structured and unstructured grids for both elasticity and poro-elasticity. The talk concludes with an application to simulation of fractured and fracturing porous media.

On the self-similar blow-up for the compressible Euler equations
Abstract: The problem of finite time blow-up/global regularity of the 3D incompressible Euler equations is an outstanding problem in mathematical fluid mechanics. On the other hand, the scenario of self-similar type blow-up is a natural candidate of blow-ups in various nonlinear partial differential equations such as the porous medium equation and the nonlinear Schrödinger equations. We also mention that for the closely related incompressible Navier-Stokes equations the question of self-similar blow-up was raised by J. Leray in 1930, and was negatively answered by J. Necas, M. Ruzicka and V. Sverak in 1996. In this talk we present the progress of study during the last several years on the self-similar blow-up for the Euler equations.

Analysis of a finite difference method for two-dimensional incompressible magnetohydrodynamics
Abstract: We consider the magnetohydrodynamics equations for a viscous incompressible resistive fluid in two dimensions. For these equations we analyse a semi-discrete finite difference scheme that is based on a staggered grid and is energy preserving. We show an a priori H^1-bound and the convergence of the scheme.

On unified analysis of mixed methods for elasticity with weakly symmetric stress.
Abstract: We introduce a framework to construct and analyze mixed finite elements for elasticity with weakly symmetric stress. The framework is based on a connection between mixed methods for elasticity and mixed methods for Stokes equations. We show that some new finite elements can be obtained from it with optimal error bounds.

Operator splitting methods for Benjamin-Ono (BO) equation
Abstract: We consider the BO equation which describes one-dimensional internal waves in deep water. In this talk, we show that both Godunov and Strang splitting methods converge with the expected rates if the initial data are sufficiently smooth. We also present a proof of convergence of a fully discrete finite difference scheme for this equation.

In this lecture we consider a model for the harvesting of marine resources, described by a parabolic equation. Since the cost functionals have sublinear growth with respect to the pointwise intensity of fishing effort, optimal solutions are in general measure-valued. For the control problem, we prove the existence of optimal strategies. The results were obtained in collaboration with Professor Mauro Garavello.
