Émilie Coupechoux Résumé En Français

Several kinds of real-world networks can be represented by graphs, in which vertices represent individuals (in social networks), or web pages (in the case of the World Wide Web), to mention only these examples. Each edge of the graph stands for an interaction between vertices: in social networks, an edge is present between two vertices if the individuals they represent are friends; in the World...

Extending DUNE: The dune-xt modules

We present our effort to extend and complement the core modules of the Distributed and Unified Numerics Environment DUNE (http://dune-project.org) by a well tested and structured collection of utilities and concepts. We describe key elements of our four modules dune-xt-common, dune-xt-grid, dune-xt-la and dune-xt-functions, which aim at further enabling the programming of generic algorithms wit...

Modelling a Dune Field

We present a model to describe the collective motion of barchan dunes in a field. Our model is able to reproduce the observation that a typical dune stays confined within a stripe. We also obtain some of the pattern structures which ressemble those observed from aerial photos which we do analyse and compare with the specific field of Laâyounne.
