External approximation of first order variational problems via W-1,p estimates

Cesare Davini, Roberto Paroni (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Here we present an approximation method for a rather broad class of first order variational problems in spaces of piece-wise constant functions over triangulations of the base domain. The convergence of the method is based on an inequality involving W - 1 , p norms obtained by Nečas and on the general framework of Γ-convergence theory.

Extremum theorem and convergence criterion for an iterative solution to the finite-step problem in elastoplasticity with mixed nonlinear hardening

Claudia Comi, Giulio Maier (1989)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

For a class of elastic-plastic constitutive laws with nonlinear kinematic and isotropic hardening, the problem of determining the response to a finite load step is formulated according to an implicit backward difference scheme (stepwise holonomic formulation), with reference to discrete structural models. This problem is shown to be amenable to a nonlinear mathematical programming problem and a criterion is derived which guarantees monotonie convergence of an iterative algorithm for the solution...
