Prof. Philippe G CIARLET (菲立普希阿雷)

Prior to joining City University of Hong Kong in 2002, Prof. Philippe G. Ciarlet had been with the Université Pierre et Marie Curie in Paris since 1974. His research interests include numerical analysis, finite element methods, partial differential equations, applied differential geometry, mathematical modeling in three-dimensional elasticity, plate and shell theories. He has published more than 190 research papers and he has written sixteen books, some of them very well-received, such as "The Finite Element Method for Elliptic Problems", "Introduction to Numerical Linear Algebra and Optimisation", his three-volume treatise "Mathematical Elasticity", or his textbook "Linear and Nonlinear Functional Analysis with Applications".

Prof. Ciarlet is an Officer in the National Order of the Legion of Honor of France and a Member of nine academies: the French Academy of Sciences, the French Academy of Technologies, the Academia Europaea, the European Academy of Sciences, the Romanian Academy, the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS), the National Academy of Sciences of India, the Academy of Sciences of Hong Kong and the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He is also a member of the Hong Kong Institution of Science, a Fellow of SIAM, a Fellow of AMS, and a Senior Fellow of the CityU Institute of Advanced Study. He has received several awards: the Poncelet Prize and the Jaffé Prize from the French Academy of Sciences, the Gold Medal from the University of Santiago de Compostela, the Alexander von Humboldt Research Award and the Shanghai Prize for International Cooperation in Science and Technology. He has been made Doctor Honoris Causa or Honorary Professor by seven universities. Together with Professors Jean-Michel Bony and Jean-Pierre Demailly, he is Editor-in-Chief of the "Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences - Série Mathématique", one of the oldest scientific publications in Mathematics. He also serves on the editorial boards of more than twenty other scientific journals.

In 2005, Prof Ciarlet launched a series of high-profile lectures held at City University, called the "France-Hong Kong Distinguished Lecture Series", under the auspices of the French Academy of Sciences and with the support of the Consulate General of France in Hong Kong. Prof Ciarlet has also initiated the launching of an Agreement between the Collège de France in Paris and City University in 2007.

Main Themes of Works
  • Numerical analysis of finite difference methods and general variational approximation methods: Discrete Green’s functions; discrete maximum principle and convergence; nonlinear problems of monotone type.
  • Numerical analysis of the finite element method in general: Lagrange and Hermite interpolation theory in Rn; discrete maximum principle and uniform convergence; curved finite elements ; numerical integration.
  • Numerical analysis of the finite element method applied to problems in elasticity and fluid mechanics: Non-conforming finite elements and macro-elements for plate problems; mixed method for the biharmonic equation in fluid mechanics; finite element methods for shell problems.
  • Modeling and mathematical analysis in three-dimensional linearized and nonlinear elasticity:  Existence of solutions; incremental methods; modeling of constitutive equations; modeling of contact and noninterpenetration.
  • Mathematical analysis of the von Kármán and generalized von Kármán equations: Existence, multiplicity, and bifurcation of solutions, equivalence with a "displacement" problem.
  • Modeling of plates by the techniques of asymptotic analysis and singular perturbations: Convergence to a two-dimensional model in the linear case; justification of two-dimensional model, including the von Kármán equations, in the nonlinear case by formal asymptotic expansions; extension to “shallow shells”; “generalized” von Kármán and Marguerre-von Kármán equations.
  • Modeling, mathematical analysis, and numerical simulation of “elastic multi-structures” that comprise junctions: Convergence to a “pluri-dimensional” model in the linear case; justification of the boundary conditions of clamping for a plate; vibrations of a multi-structure.
  • Modeling and mathematical analysis of general shells: Existence theorems for two-dimensional linear shell models (W.T. Koiter, P.M. Naghdi, “flexural”, “membrane”); justification of two-dimensional linear shell models (“membrane” and “flexural” equations; W.T. Koiter’s equations) by the techniques of asymptotic analysis; existence theory for nonlinear shell equations; definition of a new nonlinear shell model “of Koiter’s type”; intrinsic shell equations.
  • Intrinsic methods in elasticity: Reformulation of linear shell theory with the linearized change of metric and change of curvature tensors as new unknowns; linear and nonlinear Saint-Venant and Donati compatibility conditions in Sobolev spaces; implementation as a finite element method with "edge" finite elements; reformulation of nonlinear three-dimensional elasticity in terms of the Cauchy-Green strain tensor as the only unknown.
  • Functional analysis: Weak Poincaré lemma and weak Saint Venant compatibility conditions; generalization of the Cesàro-Volterra formula; linear and nonlinear Donati compatibility conditions; relations between the lemma of Jacques-Louis Lions, Nečas inequality, de Rham theorem, and Bogovskii theorem.
  • Differential geometry: Inequalities of Korn’s type on a surface; rigidity theorems and manifold theory; recovery and continuity of a manifold, with or without boundary, as a function of its metric tensor; nonlinear Korn inequalities in an open set of Rn ; recovery of a surface, with or without boundary, with prescribed first and second fundamental forms; continuity of a surface, with or without boundary, considered as a function of its two fundamental forms; nonlinear Korn inequalities on a surface in Sobolev spaces and in Fréchet spaces.
