Abstract
--------
In this talk, we present several recent contributions (in collaboration with G. Nadin and Y. Privat) on the question of the existence of optimal shapes in optimal control theory for bilinear models. Motivated by applications in spatial ecology, we investigate the following problem: consider a parabolic or elliptic equation$Lu=mu+F(u)$ where $L$ is a parabolic or elliptic operator, $m$ is the control and $F$ is a given non-linearity. The goal is to solve the optimisation problem$$Max_m \int_\Omega j(x;u)\,dx$$where $j$ is simply a cost functional, and $m$ is an admissible control that satisfies $L^1$ and $L^\infty$ bounds. In other words, we assume $0\le m\le1$ almost everywhere, and $\int_\Omega m\,dx=V_0$ where $V_0$ is a fixed volume constraint. A basic property for such problem is to obtain the bang-bang property for maximisers. In other words, are optimal control characteristic functions of subsets of the domain on which the equation is set? Put otherwise, can optimisers be identified with subsets of the domain? What we explain in this talk is that for bilinear control problems, the answer is analogous to the Buttazzo-DalMaso theorem: if the functional we want to optimise is monotonic, then the answer to this question is positive. Our result relies on new oscillatory techniques.

Abstract
--------
In this talk, we discuss the existence of critical points for a family of abstract and smooth functionals on Banach spaces under the energy constraint. By using the Ljusternick-Schnirelmann theory and the fibering method of Pohozaev we show, under suitable assumptions, multiplicity results.The abstract framework is then applied to some partial differential equations depending on a parameter for which we obtain multiple solutions as well as some bifurcation results.

Abstract
--------
In his seminal work, Leray demonstrated the existence of global weak solutions, with nonincreasing energy, to the Navier-Stokes equations in three dimensions. In this talk, we exhibit two distinct Leray solutions with zero initial velocity and identical body force. Building on a recent work of Vishik, we construct a linear unstable self-similar solution to the 3D Navier-Stokes with force. We employ the linear instability of the latter to build the second solution, which is a trajectory on the unstable manifold, in accordance with the predictions of Jia and Šverák.
