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...

Asymptotic isoperimetry of balls in metric measure spaces.

Romain Tessera (2006)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of the volume of spheres in metric measure spaces. We first introduce a general setting adapted to the study of asymptotic isoperimetry in a general class of a metric measure space...

Asymptotics for the minimization of a Ginzburg-Landau energy in n dimensions

Paweł Strzelecki (1996)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that minimizers u W 1 , n of the functional E ( u ) = 1 / n | u | n d x + 1 / ( 4 n ) ( 1 - | u | 2 ) 2 d x , ⊂ n , n ≥ 3, which satisfy the Dirichlet boundary condition u = g on for g: → S n - 1 with zero topological degree, converge in W 1 , n and C l o c α for any α<1 - upon passing to a subsequence k 0 - to some minimizing n-harmonic map. This is a generalization of an earlier result obtained for n=2 by Bethuel, Brezis, and Hélein. An example of nonunique asymptotic behaviour (which cannot occur in two dimensions if deg g = 0) is presented.

Asymptotics of accessibility sets along an abnormal trajectory

Emmanuel Trélat (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We describe precisely, under generic conditions, the contact of the accessibility set at time T with an abnormal direction, first for a single-input affine control system with constraint on the control, and then as an application for a sub-riemannian system of rank 2. As a consequence we obtain in sub-riemannian geometry a new splitting-up of the sphere near an abnormal minimizer γ into two sectors, bordered by the first Pontryagin’s cone along γ , called the L -sector and the L 2 -sector. Moreover we...

Asymptotics of accessibility sets along an abnormal trajectory

Emmanuel Trélat (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We describe precisely, under generic conditions, the contact of the accessibility set at time T with an abnormal direction, first for a single-input affine control system with constraint on the control, and then as an application for a sub-Riemannian system of rank 2. As a consequence we obtain in sub-Riemannian geometry a new splitting-up of the sphere near an abnormal minimizer γ into two sectors, bordered by the first Pontryagin's cone along γ, called the L∞-sector and the L2-sector. Moreover...

Asymptotics of an optimal compliance-location problem

Giuseppe Buttazzo, Filippo Santambrogio, Nicolas Varchon (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the problem of placing a Dirichlet region made by n small balls of given radius in a given domain subject to a force f in order to minimize the compliance of the configuration. Then we let n tend to infinity and look for the Γ-limit of suitably scaled functionals, in order to get informations on the asymptotical distribution of the centres of the balls. This problem is both linked to optimal location and shape optimization problems.

Atomistic to Continuum limits for computational materials science

Xavier Blanc, Claude Le Bris, Pierre-Louis Lions (2007)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The present article is an overview of some mathematical results, which provide elements of rigorous basis for some multiscale computations in materials science. The emphasis is laid upon atomistic to continuum limits for crystalline materials. Various mathematical approaches are addressed. The setting is stationary. The relation to existing techniques used in the engineering literature is investigated.
