Résumé : International audience
In this paper, we introduce and consider a new class of variational inequalities involving two operators, which is called the general nonconvex quasi variational inequality. Several special cases are discussed. We use the projection technique to establish the equivalence between the general noncon vex quasi variational inequalities and the xed point problems. This alternative equivalent formulation is used to study the existence of a solution of the general nonconvex quasi variational inequalities. Using these equivalent for-mulations, we suggest and analyze a wide class of new extragradient methods for solving the general nonconvex quasi variational inequalities. Convergence criteria of these new iterative methods is considered under some suitable conditions.

Résumé : International audience
RATIONALE: Optimal management of complicated parapneumonic effusions (CPPE) remains controversial. OBJECTIVES: to assess safety and efficacy of iterative therapeutic thoracentesis (ITTC), the first-line treatment of CPPE in Rennes University Hospital. METHODS: Patients with CPPE were identified through our computerized database. We retrospectively studied all cases of CPPE initially managed with ITTC in our institution between 2001 and 2010. ITTC failure was defined by the need for additional treatment (i.e. surgery or percutaneous drainage), or death. RESULTS: Seventy-nine consecutive patients were included. The success rate was 81% (n = 64). Only 3 patients (4%) were referred to thoracic surgery. The one-year survival rate was 88%. On multivariate analysis, microorganisms observed in pleural fluid after Gram staining and first thoracentesis volume ≥450 mL were associated with ITTC failure with adjusted odds-ratios of 7.65 [95% CI, 1.44-40.67] and 6.97 [95% CI, 1.86-26.07], respectively. The main complications of ITTC were iatrogenic pneumothorax (n = 5, 6%) and vasovagal reactions (n = 3, 4%). None of the pneumothoraces required chest tube drainage, and no hemothorax or re-expansion pulmonary edema was observed. CONCLUSIONS: Although not indicated in international recommendations, ITTC is safe and effective as first-line treatment of CPPE, with limited invasiveness.

Résumé : This paper presents an inversion method using the interseismic velocity field to determine effective rigidity of the lithosphere. The method is based on the minimization of a cost function defined as the quadratic measure of the difference between measured and modelled velocity fields on a discrete set of points. The continuous mapping of the rigidity is fulfilled with a limited set of parameters and the forward solution is achieved using a plane stress finite element code. The computation of the cost function gradient in the parameters' space allows one to iteratively find the best parameters set through a suitable optimization algorithm.;We first design a benchmark including an abrupt rigidity variation that cannot be described by a continuous function. For such a case, we show that increasing the number of parameters is a way to accurately describe sharp variations of the rigidity map. Then, we use a dense GPS velocity field over the southwestern United States to estimate the corresponding rigidity variations for different spatial resolutions of the parameters' grid. We analyse the conceptual and practical difficulties associated with our methodology. Finally, rigidity maps obtained by our inversion method in southwestern United States and particularly across the San Andreas Fault System are reviewed and compared to current plate rigidity estimates and geophysical data over this area.

Résumé : The reduction of by-catch mortality is an objective of the ecosystem approach to fisheries and a request made by consumers. Elasmobranchs, an important component of the French tropical tuna purse seine fishery by-catch, are currently thrown back into the sea. Fishers interact with various types of elasmobranchs that range widely in size, weight and shape, and could pose various degrees of danger to the crew. A diversity of discarding practices within the fleet were reported, some practices were considered suitable, others needed to be adapted and improved and others simply had to be banned. The majority of the crews were likely to improve their handling practices if they were presented with practical suggestions that were quick and easy. Combining scientific observations and empirical knowledge from skippers and crew, a manual, providing appropriate handling practices to ensure crew safety and increase the odds of survival for released animals has been developed and disseminated. Bringing these good practices onto the decks of fishing vessels should contribute to the reduction of the fishing mortality of some vulnerable species. It would be positively viewed by consumers as an act that reduces fishing's footprint on the environment and promoting animal welfare which would improve the image of fishing industry. Mitigation research is by definition an iterative process and different complementary methods must be carried out at different levels of the fishing process to significantly reduce the mortality of the by-catch.

Résumé : Some major challenges for geophysicists and structural geologists using three-dimensional boundary element method codes (3D-BEM) are: (1) reducing the amount of memory required to solve large and dense systems and (2) incorporation of inequality constraints such as traction inequality constraints (TIC) and displacement inequality constraints (DIC). The latter serves two purposes. First, for example, inequality constraints can be used to simulate frictional slip (using TIC). Second, these constraints can prevent element interpenetration while allowing opening mode (using DIC). We have developed a method that simultaneously incorporates both types of functionality of the inequality constraints. We show that the use of an appropriate iterative solver not only avoids the allocation of significant memory for solving the system (allowing very large model computation and simplifying parallelization on multi-core processors), but also admits interesting features such as natural incorporation of TICs and DICs. Compared to other techniques of contact management (e.g., Lagrange multipliers, penalty method, or complementarity problem), this new simple methodology, which does not use any incremental trial-and-error procedures, brings more flexibility, while making the system more stable and less subject to round-off errors without any computational overhead. We provide validations and comparisons of the inequality constraints implementation using 2D analytical and numerical solutions.

Résumé : International audience
We consider a variable Krasnosel'skii-Mann algorithm for approximating critical points of a prox-regular function or equivalently for finding fixed-points of its proximal mapping proxλf. The novelty of our approach is that the latter is not non-expansive any longer. We prove that the sequence generated by such algorithm (via the formula xk+1=(1−αk)xk+αkproxλkfxk, where (αk) is a sequence in (0,1)), is an approximate fixed-point of the proximal mapping and converges provided that the function under consideration satisfies a local metric regularity condition.

Résumé : International audience
Many iterative processes can be interpreted as discrete dynamical systems and, in certain cases, they correspond to a time discretisation of differential systems. In this article the authors propose generating numerical methods in numerical linear algebra by modelling the linear system to be solved as a given state of a dynamical system; the solution can be reached asymptotically, as a (asymptotically stable) steady state, but also as a finite time (shooting methods). In that way, any (stable) numerical scheme for the integration of such a problem can be presented as a method for solving linear systems. The authors discuss aspects of this approach, which allows them to recover some known methods but also to introduce new ones. Finally, some convergence results and numerical illustrations are presented.

Résumé : International audience
This paper deals with variational inclusions of the form : $0in varphi(z)+F(z)$ where $varphi$ is a single-valued function admitting a second order Fréchet derivative and $F$ is a set-valued map from $R^q$ to the closed subsets of $R^q$. In order to approximate a solution $bar z$ of the previous inclusion, we use an iterative scheme based on a multipoint method. We obtain, thanks to some semistability properties of $bar z$, local superquadratic or cubic convergent sequences

Résumé : International audience
We present an iterative method for finding zeroes of maximal monotone operators in a real Hilbert space. The underlying idea relies upon the discretization of a first order dissipative dynamical system which allows us to preserve the local feature, as well as to obtain convergence results. The main theorems do not only recover known convergence results of standard and inertial proximal methods, but also provide a theoretical basis for the application of new iterative methods.

Résumé : International audience
Relying on the resolvent operator method and using Nadler's theorem, we suggest and analyze a class of iterative schemes for solving multivalued quasi-variational inclusions. In fact, by considering problems involving composition of mutivalued operators and by replacing the usual compactness condition by a weaker one, our result can be considered as an improvement and a significant extension of previously known results in this field.

Résumé : In an earlier paper, we developed an efficient incremental unknowns (IU) preconditioner for solving the two-dimensional (2D) Helmholtz problem in both high and low frequency (wavenumber) regimes. The multilevel preconditioning scheme involves separation of each grid into a coarser grid of the following level and a complementary grid on which the IUs are defined by interpolation. This approach is efficient as long as the mesh size of the coarsest grid is sufficiently small compared to the wavelength. In order to overcome this restriction, the authors introduced recently a modified IU method combining the conventional interpolation with the Helmholtz equation based interpolation (EBI). The EBI coefficients are derived numerically using a sufficiently large set of analytic solutions of the Helmholtz equation on a special hierarchy of stencils. The modified IUs using Helmholtz EBI are shown to provide improved preconditioning on the coarse scales where the conventional interpolation can not be employed. This study deals with the extension of this idea for solving the three-dimensional (3D) Helmholtz equation.
