Abstract
The ARISE project (Analysis of Robust Numerical Solvers for Innovative Semiconductors in View of Energy Transition) brings together the RAPSODI team at Inria Lille and the NUMSEMIC team at WIAS Berlin. It focuses on developing advanced mathematical and numerical models for drift-diffusion models for charge transport with mobile ions, with applications for novel semiconductor devices such as perovskite solar cells and memristors, as well as ionic solutions or corrosion phenomena.

The three limits of the hydrostatic approximation

Abstract
The primitive equations are a large scale model for ocean and atmosphere. Formally, they are derived from the 3D-Navier--Stokes equations by the assumption of a hydrostatic balance. This can be formalized by a rescaling procedure on an $varepsilon$-thin domain where one considers anisotropic viscosities with vertical viscosity $varepsilon^gamma$ and $varepsilon$-independent horizontal viscosity. Now, the choice of the order $gamma$ leads to different limit equations:
For $gamma=2$, one obtains the primitive equations with full viscosity term $-Delta$;
For $gamma>2$, one obtains the primitive equations with only horizontal viscosity term $- Delta_H$;
For $gamma <2$, one obtains the 2D Navier-Stokes equations.
Thus, there are three possible limits of the hydrostatic approximation depending on the assumption on the vertical viscosity. Here, we show how maximal regularity methods and quadratic inequalities - reminiscent of the Fujita-Kato methods - can be an efficient approach to prove norm-convergences in all three cases. This is a joint work with Ken Furukawa, Yoshikazu Giga, Matthias Hieber, Takahito Kashiwabara, and Marc Wrona, see https://arxiv.org/abs/2312.03418 for a preprint.

Optimal decision-making with randomly arriving decision moments

Abstract
Control problems with randomly arriving control moments occur naturally. Financial situations in which control moments may arrive randomly are e.g., asset-liquidity spirals or optimal hedging in illiquid markets. We develop methods and algorithms to analyze such problems in a continuous time finite horizon setting, under mild conditions on the arrival process of control moments. Operating on the random timescale implied by the control moments, we obtain a discrete time, infinite-horizon problem. This problem may be solved accordingly or suitably truncated to a finite-horizon problem. We develop a stochastic primal-dual simulation-and-regression algorithm that does not require knowledge of the transition probabilities, as these may not be readily available for such problems. To this end, we present a corresponding dual representation result. We then apply our methods to several examples, where we explore in particular the effect of randomly arriving rebalancing moments on the optimal control. Joint work with Roger J.A. Laeven, John G.M. Schoenmakers and Michel H. Vellekoop.

Statistical-computational trade-offs for recursive adaptive partitioning estimators

Abstract
Recursive adaptive partitioning estimators, like decision trees and their ensembles, are effective for high-dimensional regression but usually rely on greedy training, which can become stuck at suboptimal solutions. We study this phenomenon in estimating sparse regression functions over binary features, showing that when the true function satisfies a certain structural property, greedy training achieves low estimation error with only a logarithmic number of samples in the feature count. However, when this property is absent, estimation becomes exponentially more difficult. Interestingly, this dichotomy between efficient and inefficient estimation resembles the behavior of two-layer neural networks trained with SGD in the mean-field regime. Meanwhile, ERM-trained recursive adaptive partitioning estimators always achieve low estimation error with logarithmically many samples, revealing a fundamental statistical-computational trade-off for greedy training.

Abstract
We discuss the following conjecture: every Hamiltonian systems with 2 degrees of freedom is universal (i.e., approximates all symplectic dynamics possible in a 2-dimensional disc with arbitrarily good precision) if the change of energy unfolds a homoclinic tangency at some energy level.
