On Computing the Entropy of Braids
We consider in this paper the problem of computing the entropy of a braid. We recall its definition and construct, for each braid, a sequence of real numbers, whose... -

Microfluidics is a relatively new field, it really appeared in the early 90s. But this area has experienced strong growth and has reached maturity that allows it to... -
Cohomology of some complex laminations
In this thesis, we are interested in computing the foliated Dolbeault cohomology groups H0∗L (M) for some complex laminations. This amounts to solving the problem of... -
Energy minimizing strains in martensitic microstructures
This communication is concerned with the theoretical prediction of the energy-minimizing (or stress-free) strains that can be realized by martensitic microstructures....
