SUMMARYThe numerical simulation of physical phenomena represented by non-linear hyperbolic systems of conservation laws presents speciÿc di culties mainly due to the presence of discontinuities in the solution. State of the art methods for the solution of such equations involve high resolution shock capturing schemes, which are able to produce sharp proÿles at the discontinuities and high accuracy in smooth regions, together with some kind of grid adaption, which reduces the computational cost by using ÿner grids near the discontinuities and coarser grids in smooth regions. The combination of both techniques presents intrinsic numerical and programming di culties. In this work we present a method obtained by the combination of a high-order shock capturing scheme, built from Shu-Osher's conservative formulation (J. Comput. Phys. 1988; 77:439-471; 83:32-78), a ÿfth-order weighted essentially non-oscillatory (WENO) interpolatory technique (J. Comput. Phys. 1996; 126:202-228) and Donat-Marquina's ux-splitting method (J. Comput. Phys. 1996; 125:42-58), with the adaptive mesh reÿnement (AMR) technique of Berger and collaborators (Adaptive mesh reÿnement for hyperbolic partial di erential equations.

In this work, a model for the simulation of infectious disease outbreaks including mobility data is presented. The model is based on the SAIR compartmental model and includes mobility data terms that model the flow of people between different regions. The aim of the model is to analyze the influence of mobility on the evolution of a disease after a lockdown period and to study the appearance of small epidemic outbreaks due to the so-called imported cases. We apply the model to the simulation of the COVID-19 in the various areas of Spain, for which the authorities made available mobility data based on the position of cell phones. We also introduce a method for the estimation of incomplete mobility data. Some numerical experiments show the importance of data completion and indicate that the model is able to qualitatively simulate the spread tendencies of small outbreaks. This work was motivated by an open call made to the mathematical community in Spain to help predict the spread of the epidemic.

The application of suitable numerical boundary conditions for hyperbolic conservation laws on domains with complex geometry has become a problem with certain difficulty that has been tackled in different ways according to the nature of the numerical methods and mesh type. In this paper we present a technique for the extrapolation of information from the interior of the computational domain to ghost cells designed for structured Cartesian meshes (which, as opposed to non-structured meshes, cannot be adapted to the morphology of the domain boundary). This technique is based on the application of Lagrange interpolation with a filter for the detection of discontinuities that permits a data dependent extrapolation, with higher order at smooth regions and essentially non oscillatory properties near discontinuities.

International audienceIn this paper the problem of optical flow and occlusion mask estimation is aborded. To that end, we consider a multi-label representation of the optical flow and we define an energy that models the problem. The convexification of the energy and its minimization with an iterative algorithm are studied. Our algorithm is implemented in GPU, since each pixel can be processed in parallel. From our experiments, the relation between the quality of the results obtained and computing time seems to be very promising
