Aspects of control for the normal Markov processes.
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...
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...
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...
We prove that minimizers of the functional , ⊂ , n ≥ 3, which satisfy the Dirichlet boundary condition on for g: → with zero topological degree, converge in and for any α<1 - upon passing to a subsequence - 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.
We describe precisely, under generic conditions, the contact of the accessibility set at time 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 into two sectors, bordered by the first Pontryagin’s cone along , called the -sector and the -sector. Moreover we...
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.
