Title: Relaxation and Duality for the $L^{\infty}$ Optimal Mass Transport Problem (details)
Abstract:
The original mass transport problem, formulated by Gaspard Monge in 1781, asks to find the optimal volume preserving map between two given sets of equal volume, where optimality is measured against a cost functional given by the integral of a cost density. After reviewing some aspects of this classical problem, I will describe recent joint work with Nick Barron and Robert Jensen (Loyola University Chicago) leading to a duality theory for the case of relaxed $L^{\infty}$ cost functionals acting on probability measures with prescribed marginals.

Title: Controlling Turbulence in Fluid-Elasticity Interactions (details)
Abstract:
Reducing and controlling turbulence inside the fluid flow in fluid-structure interactions is particularly relevant in the design of small-scale unmanned aircrafts and morphing aircraft wings, and is also of great interest in the medical community (for example, blood flow in a stenosed or stented artery). Existing literature on control problems in fluid-structure interactions is predominantly focused on the assumption of small but rapid oscillations of the solid body, so that the common interface is assumed static. In comparison, we address the issue of minimizing turbulence inside the fluid in the case of a moving boundary interaction between a viscous, incompressible fluid and an elastic body. The PDE model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations coupled with the nonlinear equations of elastodynamics. Due to the strong nonlinearity of the model and the moving domains, the minimization problem requires a combination of tools from optimal control and sensitivity/shape analysis. In this talk, we will discuss the existence of an optimal control and the derivation of the first order necessary optimality conditions.

Title: Primal-dual algorithms for complexly structured nonsmooth convex optimization problems (details)
Abstract:
In this talk we address the solving of a primal-dual pair of convex optimization problems with complex and intricate structures, by actually solving the corresponding system of optimality conditions, which involves mixtures of linearly composed, Lipschitz single-valued and parallel-sum type monotone operators. The proposed numerical schemes have as common feature the fact that the set-valued maximally monotone operators are processed individually via backward steps, while the single-valued ones are evaluated via explicit forward steps. The performances of the primal-dual algorithms are illustrated by numerical experiments on real-life problems arising in image and video processing, optimal portfolio selection and machine learning.

Title: Null controllability of coupled systems of PDE's (details)
Abstract:
We present a new strategy for the control of coupled systems of PDE's. The main idea is to write the solutions and controls of the system in series form where each term satisfies a new control problem, still coupled, but that can be written in cascade form. This means that the coupling term appears only in one of the equations and the controllability can be deduced from suitable observability inequalities for the uncoupled equations. The control for the fully coupled system is then obtained combining the controllability of this reduced system with the convergence of the series. We apply this technique to the linear system of thermoelastic plates when we consider two different controls supported in some, possibly different, open sets.

In the case when $F(.,.)$ has convex values and is Carath'{e}odory, using a sort of Leray-Schauder nonlinear alternative for set-valued maps we prove the existence of solutions for the integral inclusion considered. Another existence result is obtained in the case when the set-valued map has non convex values and is lower semicontinuous. The proof is based on the Leray-Schauder alternative for single-valued maps and Bressan-Colombo-Fryszkowski selection theorem. end{document}

Title: Transvectants and Lyapunov quantities for bidimensional polynomial systems of differential equations with nonlinearities of the fourth degree (details)
Abstract:
\documentclass[10pt,a4paper]{article} \usepackage{amssymb} \usepackage{amsmath} \begin{document} Let us consider the bidimensional polynomial system of differential equations with nonlinearities of the fourth degree $$\label{eq:1} {dx \over dt} = P_1(x, y)+P_4(x, y),\quad {dy \over dt} = Q_1(x, y)+Q_4(x, y),$$ where $P_i(x,\ y),\ Q_i(x,\ y)$ are homogeneous polynomials of degree $i$ with real coefficients. The $GL(2, \mathbb{R})$-comitants of the first degree with respect to the coefficients of the system \eqref {eq:1} have the form $$\label{eq:2} R_i = P_i(x, y)y-Q_i(x, y)x, \ S_i = {1\over i} \left({{\partial P_i(x, y)}\over {\partial x}}+ {{\partial Q_i(x, y)}\over {\partial y}}\right), \ i=1,4.$$ By using the comitants $R_i$ and $S_i\ (i=1,4)$, system \eqref{eq:1} can be written in the form $$\label{eq:3} \dfrac {dx}{dt} = \dfrac {1}{2} \dfrac {\partial R_1} {\partial y} + \dfrac {1}{2} S_1 x + \dfrac {1}{5} \dfrac {\partial R_4} {\partial y} + \dfrac {4}{5} S_4 x, \, \dfrac {dy}{dt} = - \dfrac {1}{2} \dfrac {\partial R_1} {\partial x} + \dfrac {1}{2} S_1 y - \dfrac {1}{5} \dfrac {\partial R_4} {\partial x} + \dfrac {4}{5} S_4 y .$$ Let $f$ and $\varphi$ be polynomials in the coordinates of the vector $(x,y)\in \mathbb{R}^2$ of degrees $r$ and $\rho$, respectively. The polynomial $$(f,\varphi)^{(k)}={(r-k)!(\rho-k)!\over r!\rho!}\sum_{h=0}^k (-1)^h % \pmatrix{ k \cr h } % C_k^h \binom {k}{h} {\partial^k f\over \partial x^{k-h}\partial y^h} {\partial^k \varphi\over \partial x^h\partial y^{k-h}}$$ is called the {\it transvectant} of the index $k$ of the polynomials $f$ and $\varphi$. Using system \eqref{eq:1} written in the form \eqref{eq:3}, the comitants \eqref{eq:2} and the notion of the transvectant for the system \eqref{eq:1} the recurent formulas for the Lyapunov quantities: $G_8$, $G_{14}$, $G_{20}$, $\dots$, $G_{6m+2}$, $\dots$, where $m \in \mathbb{N^{\ast}}$ were constructed. \end{document}

Title: An inertial forward-backward algorithm for the minimization of the sum of two nonconvex functions (details)
Abstract:
We present a forward-backward proximal-type algorithm with inertial/memory effects for minimizing the sum of a nonsmooth function with a smooth one in the nonconvex setting. Every sequence of iterates generated by the algorithm converges to a critical point of the objective function provided an appropriate regularization of the objective satisfies the Kurdyka-Lojasiewicz inequality, which is for instance fulfilled for semi-algebraic functions. We illustrate the theoretical results by considering two numerical experiments: the first one concerns the ability of recovering the local optimal solutions of nonconvex optimization problems, while the second one refers to the restoration of a noisy blurred image.

The system of differential equations under consideration contains as special cases the game theoretic Riccati differential equations arising in the solution of the $H_{\infty}$ control problem from the deterministic and stochastic cases. Among the global solution of the generalized game theoretic Riccati equation, an important role in the construction of the solution of the zero sum two players linear quadratic differential game is played by the so called {\it stabilizing solution}. In this work we present a set of conditions which guarantee the existence and uniqueness of the bounded and stabilizing solution of the Riccati differential equation under consideration. Also, we shall provide a method for numerical computation of this bounded and stabilizing solution. It is worth mentioning that we do not know a priori neither an initial value nor a boundary value of the bounded and stabilizing solution of the Riccati differential equation under investigation. That is why, the numerical methods applicable for the approximation of the solution of a Cauchy problem or of a boundary value problem associated to a differential equation cannot be used to compute the bounded and stabilizing solution of a Riccati differential equation. The bounded and stabilizing solution of the generalized game theoretic Riccati differential equation is obtained as a limit of a sequence of bounded and stabilizing solutions of some Riccati differential equations with defined sign of the quadratic parts. For this kind of Riccati differential equation already exits reliable iterative procedures to obtain the stabilizing solution. \\[0.4cm] % % {\bf References}\\[0.1cm] % % \newcommand\itm[2]{\parbox[t]{1cm}{#1}\parbox[t]{14cm}{#2}\\[1mm] } % \itm{[1]} {V.

The goal of this presentation is to emphasize different situations regarding the nature of the spectrum of some eigenvalue problems involving elliptic differential operators. More precisely, we will show that the spectrum of such an eigenvalue problem can be either discrete or continuous or a combination of the above two cases involving a continuous part plus an isolated point.This is a joint work with Mihai Mihailescu and Denisa Stancu-Dumitru.

Title: Homogenization of highly oscillating boundaries with strongly contrasting diffusivity (details)
Abstract:
Abstract: I shall discuss a joint work with A. Sili (Département de Mathématiques, Université du Toulon, and Centre de Mathématiques et Informatique, Aix Marseille Université). In this paper, we consider a linear diffusion problem, with strongly contrasting diffusivity, in a medium having highly oscillating boundary. The problem is characterized by two small positive parameters: a parameter $\varepsilon$ describing the periodicity of the oscillating boundary and a parameter $\alpha_\varepsilon$ describing the contrasting diffusivity. As $\varepsilon$ and $\alpha_\varepsilon$ vanish, we pinpoint three different limit regimes depending on ratio $l=\lim\frac{\alpha_\varepsilon}{\varepsilon}$, according to $l=0$, $0 15. GILARDI Gianni University of Pavia, Italy Title: Sliding modes for a phase field system (details) Abstract: The talk regards the modification of a Caginalp type phase field system obtained by introducing suitable feedback control terms in the equations in order that the trajectories reach a prescribed manifold of the phase space in a finite time and then lie there with a sliding mode. More precisely, two problems are considered. In the first one, the feedback control law is added to the energy balance equation and a linear relationship between temperature and order parameter is forced. In the second case, the modification is inserted in the phase dynamics in order that a prescribed distribution of the order parameter is reached. In both cases, well-posedness and regularity of the solution are discussed and it is shown that the desired sliding actually occurs in a finite time. The results we present regard a recent joint research project with V. Barbu, P. Colli, G. Marinoschi and E. Rocca. 16.

GUIDETTI Davide Dipartimento di matematica, University of Bologna, Italy Title: On recostruction of a source term depending on time and space variables in a parabolic mixed problem (details) Abstract: We determine a factor depending on both time and one of the spaces variables in a mixed parabolic system in a cylindrical domain. In order to do this, we employ a certain supplementary information, concerning a space-time measurement of the solution. 18. GUTU Valeriu Moldova State University, Republic of Moldova Title: Shadowing pseudo-orbits in set-valued dynamics (details) Abstract: We are concerned with dynamical systems, generated by finite families of continuous mappings, not necessarily contractive, in metric spaces, called also Iterated Function Systems (IFS). In case of affine mappings and under suitable cone condition, we localize the maximal compact viable on$Z$subset and prove the Shadowing property of the IFS on this subset. 19. IGNAT Liviu Institutul de Matematica Simion Stoilow and Faculty of Mathematics, University of Bucharest, ROmania Title: Dispersion property for Schr\ (details) Abstract: In this talk we analyze the dispersion property of some models involv- ing Schrodinger equations. First we focus on the discrete case and then we present some results on graphs. 20. IGNAT Radu Universite Paul Sabatier - Toulouse III, France Title: Kinetic formulation for vortex vector fields (details) Abstract: We will focus on vortex gradient fields of unit-length. The associated stream function solves the eikonal equation, more precisely it is the distance function to a point. We will prove a kinetic formulation characterizing such vector fields in any dimension. This characterization is useful in many variational models such as the study of zero energy states in a Ginzburg-Landau type model. 21. KIRR Eduard - Wilhelm University of Illinois, USA Title: Large Solitary Waves via Global Bifurcation Methods (details) Abstract: We will show how the now classical Global Bifurcation Theory can be enhanced by determining the limit points of solitary wave branches at the boundary of the domain inside which the theory applies. From these limit points we can track the branches back into the domain, and, in the examples we have analyzed so far, determine all the branches i.e., all solitary waves regardless of their size. 22. KRISTALY Alexandru Babes-Bolyai University, Romania Title: Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities on manifolds: the influence of the curvature (details) Abstract: Title: Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequalities on manifolds: the influence of the curvature Abstract: In this talk we discuss the validity of the Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality (shortly, GN inequality) and its limit cases on Riemannian manifolds. First, when the manifold has non-negative Ricci curvature and the GN inequality holds, we shall provide a sharp, quantitative volume growth of geodesic balls. Second, when the manifold has non-positive sectional curvature, we establish a sharp GN inequality whenever the Cartan-Hadamard conjecture holds (e.g., the dimension of the manifold is 2, 3 or 4). 23. LOZOVANU Dmitrii Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, Academy of Sciences of Moldova, Republic of Moldova Title: Determining the Saddle Points for Antagonistic Positional Games in Markov Decision Processes (details) Abstract: A class of stochastic antagonistic positional games for Markov decision processes with average and expected total discounted costs optimization criteria are formulated and studied. Saddle point conditions in the considered class of games that extend saddle point conditions for deterministic parity games are derived. Furthermore algorithms for determining the optimal stationary strategies of the players are proposed and grounded. 24. LUCA TUDORACHE Rodica "Gheorghe Asachi" Technical Universiy of Iasi, Romania Title: Positive solutions for a system of singular second-order integral boundary value problems (details) Abstract: We investigate the existence of positive solutions of a system of second-order nonlinear differential equations subject to Riemann-Stieltjes integral boundary conditions, where the nonlinearities do not possess any sublinear or superlinear growth conditions and may be singular. In the proof of our main results, we use the Guo-Krasnosel'skii fixed point theorem. 25. MARICA Aurora Universitatea Politehnica Bucuresti & Simion Stoilow Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy, Romania Title: Numerical meshes ensuring uniform observability of 1d waves (details) Abstract: In this talk, we build non-uniform numerical meshes for the finite difference and finite element approximations of the 1-d wave equation, ensuring that all numerical solutions reach the boundary, as continuous solutions do, in the sense that the full discrete energy can be observed by means of boundary measurements, uniformly with respect to the mesh-size. The construction of the nonuniform mesh is achieved by means of a concave diffeomorphic transformation of a uniform grid into a non-uniform one, making the mesh finer and finer when approaching the right boundary. For uniform meshes it is known that high-frequency numerical wave packets propagate very slowly without never getting to the boundary. Our results show that this pathology can be avoided by taking suitable non-uniform meshes. This also allows to build convergent numerical algorithms for the approximation of boundary controls of the wave equation. 26. MARIS Mihai UniversitÃ© Paul Sabatier - Toulouse 3, France Title: On some minimization problems in$R^N$: the concentration-compactness principle revisited (details) Abstract: We present recent improvements of the concentration-compactness principle and show that they give a new insight in some old minimization problems leading to the existence of solitary waves for nonlinear dispersive equations. 27. MAWHIN Jean UniversitÃ© Catholique de Louvain, Belgium Title: Periodic solutions of relativistic-type systems with periodic nonlinearities (details) Abstract: The lecture surveys recent results on the multiplicity of periodic solutions of differential systems of the type $$left(frac{u'}{sqrt{1-|u'|^2}}right) + nabla_u V(t,u) = e(t)$$ when the potential$V$is periodic in each component of$u$and$e$has mean value zero over the time period. 28. MIHAILESCU Mihai University of Craiova & "Simion Stoilow" Institute of Mathematics of the Romanian Academy, Romania Title: On the asymptotic behavior of some classes of nonlinear eigenvalue problems involving the$p$-Laplacian (details) Abstract: The goal of this talk is to present recent results concerning two different PDEs which can be regarded as the limiting equations of some families of nonlinear eigenvalue problems. First, eigenvalue problems involving the$p$-Laplacian and rapidly growing operators in divergence form are studied in an Orlicz-Sobolev setting. An asymptotic analysis of these problems leads to a full characterization of the spectrum of an exponential type perturbation of the Laplace operator. Next, the issue of existence of nonnegative solutions for a class of problems depending on a real parameter and involving the$\infty$-Laplacian is considered. It is shown that nontrivial nonnegative viscosity solutions for this class of problems exist if and only if the parameter is greater than or equal to the reciprocal of the maximum of the distance to the boundary of the domain. This is a joint work with Marian Bocea (Loyola University Chicago). 29. MOSCO Umberto Worcester Polytechnic Institute, USA Title: Time, grids, similarity (details) Abstract: We construct certain discrete dynamical systems governed by ODEs on syncronized time-space infinite grids, which give rise asymptotically to filling space attractors. The role of time-space grid syncronization in the description of fast short-range dynamics will also be discuseed 30. PERJAN Andrei Moldova State University, Republic of Moldova Title: Singularly perturbed problems for abstract differential equations of second order in Hilbert spaces (details) Abstract: Let$H$and$V$be two real Hilbert spaces such that$V\subset H$continuously and densely. Let$A:V=D(A)\subset H\to H$be a self-adjoint positive definite operator and let$B:D(B)\subset H\to H$be a nonlinear operator. Consider the following abstract hyperbolic system $$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \varepsilon\,u''_{\varepsilon}(t)+\delta u'_{\varepsilon}(t)+ A\,u_{\varepsilon}(t)+B\big(u_{\varepsilon}(t)\big)=f_{\varepsilon}(t),\quad t \in (0,T), \\ u_{\varepsilon}(0)=v_{0\varepsilon},\quad u'_{\varepsilon}(0)=v_{1\varepsilon}.\ \end{array}\right.$$ Under some conditions on operators$A$and$B$we study the behavior of solutions$u_\varepsilon$as$\varepsilon \to 0, \delta \to 0$. 31. RADU Petronela University of Nebraska-Lincoln, USA Title: Oscillational blow-up of traveling solutions in models for suspension bridges (details) Abstract: The study of fourth order differential equations has recently intensified in the context of studying the behavior of traveling waves for nonlinear suspension bridges. I will present a blow-up result for the equation [ u^{(4)}+ku''+f(u)=0 ] where$f$is super linear with$f(u)u>0$and when$k>0$. Previous work by Gazzola and his collaborators solved the case$kleq 0$. The case$k>0$is physically significant as it corresponds to$k=c^2$with$c$being the speed of propagation of the traveling wave. 32. RUSU Galina Moldova State University, Republic of Moldova Title: Some singularly perturbed Cauchy problems for abstract linear differential equations with positive powers of a positive defined operator (details) Abstract: In a real Hilbert space$H$consider the following Cauchy problem: $$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} \varepsilon\Big(u''_{\varepsilon}(t)+A_1u_{\varepsilon}(t)\Big)+u'_{\varepsilon}(t)+ A_0u_{\varepsilon}(t)=f_{\varepsilon}(t), \quad t \in (0,T), \\ u_{\varepsilon}(0)=u_{0\varepsilon},\quad u'_{\varepsilon}(0)=u_{1\varepsilon},\ \end{array} \right. \eqno {(P_{\varepsilon})}$$ where$A_i:D(A_i)\subset H\to H$,$i=0,1,$are two linear self-adjoint operators,$\varepsilon >0$is a small parameter$(\varepsilon\ll 1)$,$u_{\varepsilon},f_{\varepsilon}: [0,T) \to H$. Supposing that the operator$A_1$is subordinated to a positive power of the operator$A_0,$the behavior of solutions$u_\varepsilon$to the problems ($P_\varepsilon$), when$u_{0\varepsilon}\to u_0,f_{\varepsilon}\to f$as$\varepsilon \to 0,$is investigated. We establish a relationship between solutions to the problems ($P_{\varepsilon}$) and the corresponding solution to the following unperturbed problem: $$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} v'(t)+A_0v(t)=f(t), \quad t\in (0,T),\\ v(0)=u_0. \end{array} \right.\eqno{(P_0)}$$ 33.

SERBAN Calin - Constantin West University of Timisoara, Romania Title: Existence results for discontinuous perturbations of singular$\phi$-Laplacian operator (details) Abstract: Systems of differential inclusions of the form $$-(\phi(u'))'\in \partial F(t,u), \quad t\in [0,T],$$ where$\phi=\nabla\Phi$, with$\Phi$strictly convex, is a homeomorphism of the ball$B_a\subset\mathbb{R}^N$onto$\mathbb{R}^N$, are considered under Dirichlet, periodic and Neumann boundary conditions. Here,$\partial F(t,x)$stands for the generalized Clarke gradient of$F(t,\cdot)$at$x\in\mathbb{R}^N$. Using nonsmooth critical point theory, we obtain existence results under some appropriate conditions on the potential$F$. The talk is based on joint work with Petru Jebelean and Jean Mawhin. \smallskip \textbf{Acknowledgements:} The work of the speaker was supported by the strategic grant POSDRU/159/1.5/S/137750, "Project Doctoral and Postdoctoral programs support for increased competitiveness in Exact Sciences research". 35. SEREA Oana Universite de Perpignan, France Title: Discontinuous control problems and optimality conditions via occupational measures (details) Abstract: We present a linearization method for control problems in deterministic and stochastic case. This method allows us to transform a nonlinear control problem with a minimal cost into a maximization of a linear problem over occupational measures. This formulation is very useful because it allows for instance to obtain approximation results for the values ​​functions using Dirac measures. We consider deterministic and stochastic control problems with discontinuous cost. Using the occupation measures we handle a difficult problem: the characterization of semi-continuous value ​​functions. The value function is the generalized viscosity solution for the associated Hamilton-Jacoby-Bellman equation. A dual formulation of the problem is obtained. Naturally, under certain assumptions, the primal value and dual value coincide. This formulation is used to derive optimality conditions. Moreover, we describe examples where this method is used in a theoretical framework as well as into a more applied one. 36. SHIRIKYAN Armen University of Cergy-Pontoise, France Title: Global stabilisation for damped-driven conservation laws (details) Abstract: We consider a multidimensional conservation law with a damping term and a localised control. Our main result proves that any (non-stationary) solution$u(t,x)$can be exponentially stabilised in the following sense: for any initial state one can find a control such that the difference between the corresponding solution and the function$u(t)$goes to zero exponentially fast in an appropriate norm. As a consequence, we prove global exact controllability to solutions of the problem in question. We also establish global approximate controllability to solutions with the help of low-dimensional localised controls. 37.

More exactly, we show that the spectrum is continuous. The proofs are based on the critical point theory combined with adequate variational methods.

TARFULEA Nicolae Purdue University Calumet, USA Title: On Constrained Wave Propagation (details) Abstract: Many important applications lead to hyperbolic systems of differential equations supplemented by constraint equations on infinite domains (e.g., Maxwell’s equations and Einstein’s field equations in various hyperbolic formulations). In general, for the pure Cauchy problem one can prove that the constraints are preserved by the evolution. That is, the solution satisfies the constraints for all time whenever the initial data does. Frequently, the numerical solutions to such evolution problems are computed on artificial space cutoffs because of the necessary boundedness of computational domains. Therefore, well-posed boundary conditions are needed at the artificial boundaries. Moreover, these boundary conditions have to be chosen in such a way that the numerical solution of the cutoff system approximates as best as possible the solution of the original problem on infinite domain, including the preservation of constraints. In this talk, I will present a general technique for finding constrained preserving boundary conditions, and its application to a system of wave equations in a first-order formulation subject to divergence constraints. 39.

(details) Abstract: \documentclass[11pt, a4paper]{article} \begin{document} \title{The fractional multi-objective transportation problem of fuzzy type.} \author{Tkacenko Alexandra\\ Department of Applied Mathematics, Moldova State University\\ A. Mateevici str., 60, Chisinau, MD--2009, Moldova \\ alexandratkacenko@gmail.com} \date{} \maketitle In the paper is developed an iterative fuzzy programming approach for solving the multi-objective fractional transportation problem of "bottleneck" type [1] with some imprecise data. Minimizing the worst upper bound to obtain an efficient solution which is close to the best lower bound for each objective function iterative, we find the set of efficient solutions for all time levels [3]. The mathematical model of the proposed problem is the follows: $$\min Z^{k}=\displaystyle\frac{\sum\limits_{i=1}^{m}\sum\limits_{i=1}^{n}\tilde{c}_{ij}^{k}x_{ij}}{\max\limits_{ij}\{t_{ij}\left| x_{ij}>0\}\right.}$$ $$\min Z^{k+1}=\max\limits_{ij}\{ t_{ij}\left|x_{ij}>0\right.\}$$ $$\sum\limits_{j=1}^{n}x_{ij}=a_{i}, \, i=1,2,\dots, m;\quad \, \sum\limits_{i=1}^{n} x_{ij}=a_{i}, j=1,2,\dots, n;$$ $$x_{ij}\ge 0,\, i=1,2,\dots,m,\, j=1,2,\dots,n,\, k=1,2,\dots ,r.$$ where:$Z^{k}(x)=\left\{Z^{1}(x), Z^{2}(x),\dots, Z^{k}(x) \right\}$is a vector of$r$objective functions;$\tilde{c}_{ij}^{k} $, k=1,2\dots r, i=1,2,\dots m, j=1,2,\dots n are unit costs or other amounts of fuzzy type,$ t_{ij} $- necessary unit transportation time from source$i$to destination$j$,$a_{i} $- disposal at source i,$b_{j} $-requirement of destination$j$,$x_{ij} $- amount transported from source$i$to destination$j$. In order to solve the model (1)-(4) we proposed to reduce it to one of linear type, equivalent in terms of the set of solutions. Since the parameters and coefficients of transportation multi-criteria models have real practical significances such as unit prices, unit costs and many other, all of them are interconnected with the same parameter of variation, which can be calculated by applying of various statistical methods. Thus, the model (1)-(4) can be transformed in one with deterministic type of data. It can be solved using fuzzy techniques: \mu_{k}(Z^{k}))=\left\{ \begin{array}{ccc}1, \textrm{if } Z^{k}(x)\le L_k\\ \displaystyle\frac{U_k-Z^{k}(x)}{U_k-L_k},\, \textrm{if}, \, L_k 41. TURINICI Gabriel CEREMADE, Universite Paris Dauphine and Institut Universitaire de France (IUF), FRANCE Title: Mathematical models of vaccination: societal and invididual views (details) Abstract: The mathematical models of vaccination is a relatively old subject. Initial works focused mostly on the overall, societal optimums; on the contrary recent works can now treat the more difficult individual reactions. These reactions can be mathematically described in a Mean Field Games framework (introduced by P.L. Lions and J.M. Lasry) as a Nash equilibrium in a game with an infinity of players. We present several recent works on the subject and applications to H1N1 2009/10 vaccination in France along with discussions on the cost-effectiveness of public health interventions. 42. UNGUREANU Valeriu State University of Moldova, Republic of Moldova Title: Strategic Games, Information Leaks, Corruption, and Solution Principles (details) Abstract: We consider strategic games with rules violated by information leaks (corruption of simultaneity). As a result of corruption, various para/pseudo sequential games appear. The classification of such games is provided on the base of the applicable solution principles. Conditions for solution existence are highlighted, formulated and analysed. 43.

The first is based on the symmetric version of the Ekeland variational principle and the mountain pass theorem, while the latter consists of an application of a suitable symmetric version of the three critical points theorem due to {\em Pucci} and {\em Serrin}. Using the second method, we are able to improve some recent results of {\em Arcoya and Carmona} and {\em Bonnano and Candito}. The methods we present work also for different types of symmetrization. \end{abstract} \end{document} 44. VARVARUCA Eugen University of Reading, United Kingdom Title: Global bifurcation of steady gravity water waves with critical layers (details) Abstract: I will present some recent results on the problem of two-dimensional travelling water waves propagating under the influence of gravity in a flow of constant vorticity over a flat bed. By means of a conformal mapping and an application of Riemann-Hilbert theory, the free-boundary problem is equivalently reformulated as a one-dimensional pseudodifferential equation which involves a modified Hilbert transform and, moreover, has a variational structure. Using the new formulation, existence is established, by means of real-analytic global bifurcation theory, of a family of solutions which includes waves of large amplitude, even in the presence of critical layers in the flow. This is joint work with Adrian Constantin (King's College London, UK) and Walter Strauss (Brown University, USA). 45. VICOL Vlad Princeton University, United States Title: Contrast between Lagrangian and Eulerian analytic regularity properties of Euler equations (details) Abstract: We consider the incompressible Euler equations on${mathbb R}^d$, where$din {2,3}$. We prove that: (a) In Lagrangian coordinates the real-analyticity radius (more generally, the Gevrey-class radius) is conserved, locally in time. (b) In Lagrangian coordinates the equations are well-posed in highly anisotropic spaces, e.g. Gevrey-class regularity in the label a1 and Sobolev regularity in the labels a2,...,ad. (c) In Eulerian coordinates both results (a) and (b) above are false! 46. VOISEI Mircea Towson University, Towson, Maryland - 21208, U.S.A.

Title: Partial regularity and smooth topology-preserving approximations of rough domains (details)
Abstract:
We consider domains whose boundary can be locally represented as the graph of a continuous function and construct smooth approximations that preserve topological properties (in particular the fundamental group, for instance). The main tool for doing this is a notion of (multivalued) map of "good directions at a point", that is a map that associates to a point in the neighbourhood of the boundary the directions along which the boundary can be locally represented as the graph of a continuous function. We study various properties of the map of good directions and also use it to show that there must be points on the the boundary of the domain, in a neighbourhood of which the domain is in fact smoother, it is locally Lipschitz. This is joint work with John M. Ball.
