We propose here a general framework to address the question of trace operators on a dyadic tree. This work is motivated by the modeling of the human bronchial tree which, thanks to its regularity, can be extrapolated in a natural way to an infinite resistive tree. The space of pressure fields at bifurcation nodes of this infinite tree can be endowed with a Sobolev space structure, with a semi-norm which measures the instantaneous rate of dissipated energy. We aim at describing the behaviour of…

These lecture notes address mathematical issues related to the modeling of opinion propagation on networks of the social type with various standpoints and describe some extensions: stochastic interpretation, monitoring of a network, time continuous evolution problem, charismatic networks, links with discretized Partial Differential Equations, nonlinear models, inertial version and stability issues.
This book proposes an introduction to the mathematical modeling of the respiratory system. A detailed introduction on the physiological aspects makes it accessible to a large audience without any

A model for the ventilation process that takes the form of a boundary problem, where the role of the boundary is played by a full domain in the physical space, and the elliptic operator is defined over an infinite dyadic tree is proposed.

This work studies the asymptotic behavior of a system modeling a composite material made of an elastic periodically perforated support, with period $\varepsilon > 0$, and identifies the corresponding homogenized and periodic cell equations which allow us to find the first corrector term.
