Dear colleague,

May I kindly ask you,  to distribute the announcement of a post doc  
position among your master students  or other young talented people  
you know.

Besides a competitive salary we offer a stimulating research  
environment within the Laboratory XLIM (UMR-CNRS 6172)   and the  
University of Limoges  For more information, see http://www.xlim.fr/ 
fr/dept/presentation.jsp?alias=DMI

Limoges  is the capital of the Limousin region with a population of  
two hundred thousand and is  a major economic and cultural centre.  
This location in the centre of France puts the University of Limoges   
at the heart of Europe with direct links to all the other major  
capital cities by motorway, the rail network or via an  international  
airport.

The post-doctoral position concerns the study of the stability in the  
sense of Lyapounov of nonsmooth dynamical systems with unilateral  
constraints and impacts.
The mathematical formulation of the unilateral dynamical system  
involves inequality constraints and necessarily contains natural non- 
smoothness. The non-smoothness find its origin  from the  
discontinuous control term, or from the environment (non-smooth  
impact), or from the dry friction. It is well known that dry friction  
generates instabilities and consequently influences the performance  
and the behavior of mechanical systems. It seems that the formalism  
of evolution variational inequalities represents a large class of  
unilateral dynamical systems.
Applications can be found in unilateral mechanics and electronics.

The candidate should preferably possess a background in Applied  
Mathematics, Control theory, Nonsmooth (hybrid) dynamical systems,  
convex analysis and nonsmooth analysis.

Electronic applications including a CV, a list of publications, names  
of two possible references, and a brief description of your research  
interests are most welcome. Please send them until June 25, 2007 to    
the contact person.
