The paper is a supplement to a survey by J. Franců: Monotone operators, A survey directed to differential equations, Aplikace Matematiky, 35(1990), 257–301. An abstract existence theorem for the equation with a coercive weakly continuous operator is proved. The application to boundary value problems for differential equations is illustrated on two examples. Although this generalization of monotone operator theory is not as general as the M-condition, it is sufficient for many technical applications....
The paper deals with the generalized Signorini problem. The used method of pseudomonotone semicoercive operator inequality is introduced in the paper by O. John. The existence result for smooth domains from the paper by O. John is extended to technically significant "angular" domains. The crucial point of the proof is the estimation of the nonlinear term which appears in the operator form of the problem. The substantial technical difficulties connected with non-smoothness of the boundary are overcome...
The paper deals with the existence of solutions of the form with operators monotone in a broader sense, including pseudomonotone operators and operators satisfying conditions and . The first part of the paper which has a methodical character is concluded by the proof of an existence theorem for the equation on a reflexive separable Banach space with a bounded demicontinuous coercive operator satisfying condition . The second part which has a character of a survey compares various types of...
The homogenization problem (i.e. the approximation of the material with periodic structure by a homogeneous one) for linear elasticity equation is studied. Both formulations in terms of displacements and in terms of stresses are considered and the results compared. The homogenized equations are derived by the multiple-scale method. Various formulae, properties of the homogenized coefficients and correctors are introduced. The convergence of displacment vector, stress tensor and local energy is proved...
Two-scale convergence is a powerful mathematical tool in periodic homogenization developed for modelling media with periodic structure. The contribution deals with the classical definition, its problems, the ``dual'' definition based on the so-called periodic unfolding. Since in the case of domains with boundary the unfolding operator introduced by D. Cioranescu, A. Damlamian, G. Griso does not satisfy the crucial integral preserving property, the contribution proposes a modified unfolding operator...
The paper deals with a scalar diffusion equation where is a Prandtl-Ishlinskii operator and are given functions. In the diffusion or heat conduction equation the linear constitutive relation is replaced by a scalar Prandtl-Ishlinskii hysteresis spatially dependent operator. We prove existence, uniqueness and regularity of solution to the corresponding initial-boundary value problem. The problem is then homogenized by considering a sequence of equations of the above type with spatially periodic...
The paper discusses some aspects of the adjoint definition of two-scale convergence based on periodic unfolding. As is known this approach removes problems concerning choice of the appropriate space for admissible test functions. The paper proposes a modified unfolding which conserves integral of the unfolded function and hence simplifies the proofs and its application in homogenization theory. The article provides also a self-contained introduction to two-scale convergence and gives ideas for generalization...
