Education and career

Dauge was born on 6 October 1956 in Nantes, and earned a diploma and agrégation in 1978 at the University of Nantes. In 1980 she defended a doctoral thesis at Nantes, Etude de l’opérateur de Stokes dans un polygone : régularité, singularités et théorème d’indice, and in 1986 she completed her habilitation there with the habilitation thesis Régularités et singularités des solutions de problèmes aux limites elliptiques sur des domaines singuliers de type à coins, [1] supervised by Lai The Pham. [2]

Meanwhile, she became junior researcher for the CNRS in 1980, and researcher in 1984, both associated with the University of Nantes. In 1996 she became a director of research for the CNRS, and moved to the University of Rennes. She retired as an emeritus senior researcher in 2021. [1]

Selected publications

Dauge is the author of Elliptic boundary value problems on corner domains: Smoothness and asymptotics of solutions (Lecture Notes in Mathematics 1341, Springer, 1988). [3] She is the coauthor of Spectral methods for axisymmetric domains: Numerical algorithms and tests (with Christine Bernardi and Yvon Maday, with contributions from Mejdi Azaïez, Gauthier-Villars, 1999). [4] Her many research publications include the highly cited paper "Vector potentials in three‐dimensional non‐smooth domains" (with Chérif Amrouche, Christine Bernardi, and Vivette Girault, Mathematical Methods in the Applied Sciences, 1998).

In the mathematical fields of differential geometry and geometric analysis, inverse mean curvature flow (IMCF) is a geometric flow of submanifolds of a Riemannian or pseudo-Riemannian manifold.

In mathematics, and specifically the field of partial differential equations (PDEs), a parametrix is an approximation to a fundamental solution of a PDE, and is essentially an approximate inverse to a differential operator.

The obstacle problem is a classic motivating example in the mathematical study of variational inequalities and free boundary problems. The problem is to find the equilibrium position of an elastic membrane whose boundary is held fixed, and which is constrained to lie above a given obstacle. It is deeply related to the study of minimal surfaces and the capacity of a set in potential theory as well. Applications include the study of fluid filtration in porous media, constrained heating, elasto-plasticity, optimal control, and financial mathematics.

p-FEM or the p-version of the finite element method is a numerical method for solving partial differential equations. It is a discretization strategy in which the finite element mesh is fixed and the polynomial degrees of elements are increased such that the lowest polynomial degree, denoted by , approaches infinity. This is in contrast with the "h-version" or "h-FEM", a widely used discretization strategy, in which the polynomial degrees of elements are fixed and the mesh is refined such that the diameter of the largest element, denoted by approaches zero.
