Joint methods in imaging based on diffuse image representations
(2010-08-31)
This thesis deals with the application and the analysis of different variants of the Mumford-Shah model in the context of image processing. In this kind of models, a given function is approximated in a piecewise smooth or ...
Optimal transport and geometric analysis in Heisenberg groups
(2009-01-29)
In this thesis we consider the Heisenberg group H_n=R^{2n+1} with its Carnot-Carathéodory distance d_c and the Lebesgue measure L^{2n+1}. In Chapter 1, in relation with the geometric traveling salesman problem in H_1, we ...
Coarsening processes in thin liquid films: Analysis and numerics
(2008)
In my thesis, I study coarsening processes in thin liquid films on solid substrates. The evolution of the liquid film is determined by the so-called thin film equation. Such processes are investigated in film configurations ...
Ricci curvature and gradient flows of the entropy for jump processes
(2013-04-03)
In the first part of this thesis, we present a new notion of Ricci curvature that applies to finite Markov chains. This notion relies on geodesic convexity of the entropy and is analogous to the one introduced by Lott--Villani ...
