Sticky nonlinear SDEs and convergence of McKean-Vlasov equations without confinement

We develop a new approach to study the long time behaviour of solutions to nonlinear stochastic differential equations in the sense of McKean, as well as propagation of chaos for the corresponding mean-field particle system approximations. Our…

Flow Redirection for Epidemic Reaction-DIffusion Control

We show we can control an epidemic reaction-diffusion on a directed, and heterogeneous, network by redirecting the flows, thanks to the optimisation of well-designed loss functions, in particular the basic reproduction number of the model. We…

Epidemic Models for Personalised COVID-19 Isolation and Exit Policies Using Clinical Risk Predictions

In mid April 2020, with more than 2.5 billion people in the world following social distancing measures due to COVID-19, governments are considering relaxing lock-down. We combined individual clinical risk predictions with epidemic modelling to…

Gromov-Wasserstein Distances between Gaussian Distributions

The Gromov-Wasserstein distances were proposed a few years ago to compare distributions which do not lie in the same space. In particular, they offer an interesting alternative to the Wasserstein distances for comparing probability measures living…

Bayesian imaging using Plug & Play priors: when Langevin meets Tweedie

Since the seminal work of Venkatakrishnan et al. [82] in 2013, Plug & Play (PnP) methods have become ubiquitous in Bayesian imaging. These methods derive estimators for inverse problems in imaging by combining an explicit likelihood function…

A linear finite-difference scheme for approximating Randers distances on Cartesian grids

Randers distances are an asymmetric generalization of Riemannian distances, and arise in optimal control problems subject to a drift term, among other applications. We show that Randers eikonal equation can be approximated by a logarithmic…

Monotone discretization of the Monge-Ampère equation of optimal transport

We design a monotone finite difference discretization of the second boundary value problem for the Monge-Ampère equation, whose main application is optimal transport. We prove the existence of solutions to a class of monotone numerical schemes for…

Anatomical and sensorimotor relations in congenital oculomotor disorders

Oculomotor disorders are often associated with sensory dysfunctions. On the one hand, the proof of the relations between sensory dysfunctions and motor disorders provides some perspectives on the sensory dysfunction assessment in the pediatric…

An open-label randomized controlled trial of the effect of lopinavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir plus IFN-β-1a and hydroxychloroquine in hospitalized patients with COVID-19

Objectives: We evaluated the clinical, virological and safety outcomes of lopinavir/ritonavir, lopinavir/ritonavir-interferon (IFN)-β-1a, hydroxychloroquine or remdesivir in comparison to standard of care (control) in coronavirus 2019 disease (COVID…
