From September 2024, I am a Postdoctoral researcher at the Dipartimento di Matematica Tullio Levi-Civita of the University of Padova supervised by Fabio Ancona, Laura Caravenna, Elio Marconi and Roberta Bianchini. I defended my PhD on the 12th of July 2024. It was supervised by Jean-François Coulombel and Grégory Faye at the Institut de Mathématiques de Toulouse.
Numerical analysis of systems of conservation laws
Here is my complete CV (version last updated 21/08/2024).
For scalar conservation laws, we prove that spectrally stable stationary Lax discrete shock profiles are nonlinearly stable in some polynomially-weighted \(\ell^1\) and \(\ell^\infty\) spaces. In comparison with several previous nonlinear stability results on discrete shock profiles, we avoid the introduction of any weakness assumption on the amplitude of the shock and apply our analysis to a large family of schemes that introduce some artificial possibly high-order viscosity. The proof relies on a precise description of the Green's function of the linearization of the numerical scheme about spectrally stable discrete shock profiles obtained in [Coeu23]. The present article also pinpoints the ideas for a possible extension of this nonlinear orbital stability result for discrete shock profiles in the case of systems of conservation laws.
We prove the linear orbital stability of spectrally stable stationary discrete shock profiles for conservative finite difference schemes applied to systems of conservation laws. The proof relies on an accurate description of the pointwise asymptotic behavior of the Green's function associated with those discrete shock profiles, improving on the result of Lafitte-Godillon [God03]. The main novelty of this stability result is that it applies to a fairly large family of schemes that introduce some artificial possibly high-order viscosity. The result is obtained under a sharp spectral assumption rather than by imposing a smallness assumption on the shock amplitude.
In this paper, we prove that, under precise spectral assumptions, some finite difference approximations of scalar leftgoing transport equations on the positive half-line with numerical boundary conditions are \(\ell^1\)-stable but \(\ell^q\)-unstable for any \(q>1\). The proof relies on the accurate description of the Green's function for a particular family of finite rank perturbations of Toeplitz operators whose essential spectrum belongs to the closed unit disk and with a simple eigenvalue of modulus \(1\) embedded into the essential spectrum.
In this article, we study the pointwise asymptotic behavior of iterated convolutions on the one dimensional lattice \(\mathbb{Z}\). We generalize the so-called local limit theorem in probability theory to complex valued sequences. A sharp rate of convergence towards an explicitly computable attractor is proved together with a generalized Gaussian bound for the asymptotic expansion up to any order of the iterated convolution.
In order to study the large time behavior of finite difference schemes for the transport equation, we need to describe the pointwise asymptotic behavior of iterated convolutions for finitely supported sequences indexed on \(\mathbb{Z}\). In this paper, we investigate this question by presenting the main result of [Coeu22] which is a generalization of the so-called local limit theorem in probability theory to complex valued sequences.
