General method of regularization. I: Functionals defined on BD space

Jarosław L. Bojarski (2004)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The aim of this paper is to prove that the relaxation of the elastic-perfectly plastic energy (of a solid made of a Hencky material) is the lower semicontinuous regularization of the plastic energy. We find the integral representation of a non-locally coercive functional. In part II, we will show that the set of solutions of the relaxed problem is equal to the set of solutions of the relaxed problem proposed by Suquet. Moreover, we will prove the existence theorem for the limit analysis problem.

General method of regularization. III: The unilateral contact problem

Jarosław L. Bojarski (2004)

Applicationes Mathematicae

The aim of this paper is to prove that the relaxation of the elastic-perfectly plastic energy (of a solid made of a Hencky material with the Signorini constraints on the boundary) is the weak* lower semicontinuous regularization of the plastic energy. We consider an elastic-plastic solid endowed with the von Mises (or Tresca) yield condition. Moreover, we show that the set of solutions of the relaxed problem is equal to the set of solutions of the relaxed problem proposed by Suquet. We deduce that...

General results on the eigenvalues of operators with gaps, arising from both ends of the gaps. Application to Dirac operators

Jean Dolbeault, Maria Esteban, Eric Séré (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

This paper is concerned with an extension and reinterpretation of previous results on the variational characterization of eigenvalues in gaps of the essential spectrum of self-adjoint operators. We state two general abstract results on the existence of eigenvalues in the gap and a continuation principle. Then these results are applied to Dirac operators in order to characterize simultaneously eigenvalues corresponding to electronic and positronic bound states.

Généralisation d'un théorème de Haagerup

Ferdaous Kellil, Guy Rousseau (2005)

Studia Mathematica

Let G be a group of automorphisms of a tree X (with set of vertices S) and H a kernel on S × S invariant under the action of G. We want to give an estimate of the l r -operator norm (1 ≤ r ≤ 2) of the operator associated to H in terms of a norm for H. This was obtained by U. Haagerup when G is the free group acting simply transitively on a homogeneous tree. Our result is valid when X is a locally finite tree and one of the orbits of G is the set of vertices at even distance from a given vertex; a technical...
