International audience Inverse modeling has become a standard technique for estimating hydrogeologic parameters. These parameters are usually inferred by minimizing the sum of the squared differences between the observed system state and the one calculed by a mathematical model. Since some hydrodynamics parameters in Richards model cannot be measured, they have to be tuned with respect to the observation and the output of the model. Optimal parameters are found by minimizing cost function and the unconstrained minimization algorithm of the quasi-Newton limited memory type is used. The inverse model allows computation of optimal scale parameters and model sensi-tivity. La modélisation inverse est devenue une approche fréquemment utilisée pour l'estimation des paramètres en hydrogéologie. Fondamentalement cette technique est basée sur les méthodes de contrôle optimal qui nécessitent des observations et un modèle pour le calcul des dérivées du premier ordre. Le modèle adjoint du modèle de Richards est construit pour obtenir le gradient de la fonction coût par rapport aux paramètres de contrôle. Les paramètres hydrodynamiques sont pris comme paramètres de contrôle; leurs valeurs optimales sont trouvées en minimisant la fonction coût ceci en utilisant un algorithme de minimisation de type descente quasi-Newton. Cette approche est utilisée pour l'identification des paramètres hydrodynamiques sur un modèle d'écou-lement souterrain en zone non saturée, ainsi que les études de sensibilité du modèle.

This paper proposes some diagonal matrices that approximate the (inverse) Hessian by parts using the variational principle that is analogous to the one employed in constructing quasi-Newton updates. The way we derive our approximations is inspired by the least change secant updating approach, in which we let the diagonal approximation be the sum of two diagonal matrices where the first diagonal matrix carries information of the local Hessian, while the second diagonal matrix is chosen so as to induce positive definiteness of the diagonal approximation at a whole. Some numerical results are also presented to illustrate the effectiveness of our approximating matrices when incorporated within the L-BFGS algorithm.

Abstract The method for analysing transversal plane images from computer tomography scans is considered in the paper. This method allows not only approximating ribs-bounded contour but also evaluating patient rotation around the vertical axis during a scan. In this method, a mathematical model describing the ribs-bounded contour was created and the problem of approximation has been solved by finding the optimal parameters of the mathematical model using least-squares-type objective function. The local search has been per-formed using local descent by quasi-Newton methods. The benefits of analytical derivatives of the function are disclosed in the paper.

International audience In this paper, we give the multivariate generating function counting texts according to their length and to the number of occurrences of words from a finite set. The application of the inclusion-exclusion principle to word counting due to Goulden and Jackson (1979, 1983) is used to derive the result. Unlike some other techniques which suppose that the set of words is reduced (<i>i..e.</i>, where no two words are factor of one another), the finite set can be chosen arbitrarily. Noonan and Zeilberger (1999) already provided a MAPLE package treating the non-reduced case, without giving an expression of the generating function or a detailed proof. We give a complete proof validating the use of the inclusion-exclusion principle and compare the complexity of the method proposed here with the one using automata for solving the problem.

Combinatorics International audience A non-commutative, planar, Hopf algebra of planar rooted trees was defined independently by one of the authors in Foissy (2002) and by R. Holtkamp in Holtkamp (2003). In this paper we propose such a non-commutative Hopf algebra for graphs. In order to define a non-commutative product we use a quantum field theoretical (QFT) idea, namely the one of introducing discrete scales on each edge of the graph (which, within the QFT framework, corresponds to energy scales of the associated propagators). Finally, we analyze the associated quadri-coalgebra and codendrifrom structures.

Die Prozessüberwachung spielt in der Zerspanung eine immer wichtiger werdende Rolle. So können zum Beispiel mittels Zerspankraftmessungen ökonomisch optimierte Parameter in Zerspanprozessen gefunden werden, die zu einer Verbesserung der Auslastung von Werkzeug und Maschine führen. Des Weiteren kann über die Zerspankraft auf den aktuellen Verschleißzustand der Werkzeuge im Prozess sowie auf die jeweils erreichbare Bearbeitungsgenauigkeit zurückgeschlossen werden. Für Zerspankraftmessungen gibt es eine Vielzahl an zur Verfügung stehenden Kraftmesssystemen; zum einen traditionelle Messtechnik auf Basis von Piezosensoren zur Kraftmessung und zum anderen Kraftmesstechnik auf der Basis von Dehnmessstreifen (DMS). Dieser Beitrag untersucht die Kraftaufnahme bei Fräs- und Bohrprozessen, bei denen beide Kraftmesssysteme simultan eingesetzt wurden. &nbsp; Process monitoring plays an increasingly important role in machining. For example, through cutting force measurements, it is possible to find economically optimal parameters in the milling process, which lead to an improvement in the utilization of the tool and the machine. Furthermore, the cutting force can be used to deduce the state of wear of the tools in the process. There are varieties of available force measuring systems for this purpose; on the one hand, traditional measuring technology based on piezo sensors for force measurement and the other force measuring technology based on strain gauges (strain gauges). This article examines the force absorption in milling and drilling processes where both force-measuring systems were used simultaneously.
