A-Quasiconvexity: Relaxation and Homogenization

Andrea Braides, Irene Fonseca, Giovanni Leoni (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Integral representation of relaxed energies and of Γ-limits of functionals ( u , v ) Ω f ( x , u ( x ) , v ( x ) ) d x are obtained when sequences of fields v may develop oscillations and are constrained to satisfy a system of first order linear partial differential equations. This framework includes the treatement of divergence-free fields, Maxwell's equations in micromagnetics, and curl-free fields. In the latter case classical relaxation theorems in W1,p, are recovered.

Arrow-type sufficient conditions for optimality of age-structured control problems

Vladimir Krastev (2013)

Open Mathematics

We consider a class of age-structured control problems with nonlocal dynamics and boundary conditions. For these problems we suggest Arrow-type sufficient conditions for optimality of problems defined on finite as well as infinite time intervals. We examine some models as illustrations (optimal education and optimal offence control problems).

Asignación de recursos Max-Min: propiedades y algoritmos.

Amparo Mármol Conde, Blas Pelegrín Pelegrín (1991)

Trabajos de Investigación Operativa

Este trabajo trata el problema de asignación de recursos cuando el objetivo es maximizar la mínima recompensa y las funciones recompensa son continuas y estrictamente crecientes. Se estudian diferentes propiedades que conducen a algoritmos que permiten de forma eficiente la resolución de gran variedad de problemas de esta naturaleza, tanto con variables continuas como discretas.

Asymptotic analysis, existence and sensitivity results for a class of multivalued complementarity problems

Fabián Flores-Bazán, Rubén López (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this work we study the multivalued complementarity problem on the non-negative orthant. This is carried out by describing the asymptotic behavior of the sequence of approximate solutions to its multivalued variational inequality formulation. By introducing new classes of multifunctions we provide several existence (possibly allowing unbounded solution set), stability as well as sensitivity results which extend and generalize most of the existing ones in the literature. We also present some kind...

Asymptotic behaviour and numerical approximation of optimal eigenvalues of the Robin laplacian

Pedro Ricardo Simão Antunes, Pedro Freitas, James Bernard Kennedy (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the problem of minimising the nth-eigenvalue of the Robin Laplacian in RN. Although for n = 1,2 and a positive boundary parameter α it is known that the minimisers do not depend on α, we demonstrate numerically that this will not always be the case and illustrate how the optimiser will depend on α. We derive a Wolf–Keller type result for this problem and show that optimal eigenvalues grow at most with n1/N, which is in sharp contrast with the Weyl asymptotics for a fixed domain. We further...
