A least-squares method for the numerical solution of the Dirichlet problem for the elliptic monge − ampère equation in dimension two

Alexandre Caboussat, Roland Glowinski, Danny C. Sorensen (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We address in this article the computation of the convex solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the real elliptic Monge − Ampère equation for general convex domains in two dimensions. The method we discuss combines a least-squares formulation with a relaxation method. This approach leads to a sequence of Poisson − Dirichlet problems and another sequence of low dimensional algebraic eigenvalue problems of a new type. Mixed finite element approximations with a smoothing procedure are used for the...

A level set method in shape and topology optimization for variational inequalities

Piotr Fulmański, Antoine Laurain, Jean-Francois Scheid, Jan Sokołowski (2007)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

The level set method is used for shape optimization of the energy functional for the Signorini problem. The boundary variations technique is used in order to derive the shape gradients of the energy functional. The conical differentiability of solutions with respect to the boundary variations is exploited. The topology modifications during the optimization process are identified by means of an asymptotic analysis. The topological derivatives of the energy shape functional are employed for the topology...

A level-set approach for inverse problems involving obstacles Fadil SANTOSA

Fadil Santosa (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

An approach for solving inverse problems involving obstacles is proposed. The approach uses a level-set method which has been shown to be effective in treating problems of moving boundaries, particularly those that involve topological changes in the geometry. We develop two computational methods based on this idea. One method results in a nonlinear time-dependant partial differential equation for the level-set function whose evolution minimizes the residual in the data fit. The second method...

A Lipschitz function which is C on a.e. line need not be generically differentiable

Luděk Zajíček (2013)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We construct a Lipschitz function f on X = ℝ ² such that, for each 0 ≠ v ∈ X, the function f is C smooth on a.e. line parallel to v and f is Gâteaux non-differentiable at all points of X except a first category set. Consequently, the same holds if X (with dimX > 1) is an arbitrary Banach space and “a.e.” has any usual “measure sense”. This example gives an answer to a natural question concerning the author’s recent study of linearly essentially smooth functions (which generalize essentially smooth...

A lower bound on local energy of partial sum of eigenfunctions for Laplace-Beltrami operators

Qi Lü (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, a lower bound is established for the local energy of partial sum of eigenfunctions for Laplace-Beltrami operators (in Riemannian manifolds with low regularity data) with general boundary condition. This result is a consequence of a new pointwise and weighted estimate for Laplace-Beltrami operators, a construction of some nonnegative function with arbitrary given critical point location in the manifold, and also two interpolation results for solutions of elliptic equations with lateral...

A mathematical model for the recovery of human and economic activities in disaster regions

Atsushi Kadoya, Nobuyuki Kenmochi (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

In this paper a model for the recovery of human and economic activities in a region, which underwent a serious disaster, is proposed. The model treats the case that the disaster region has an industrial collaboration with a non-disaster region in the production system and, especially, depends upon each other in technological development. The economic growth model is based on the classical theory of R. M. Solow (1956), and the full model is described as a nonlinear system of ordinary differential...

A Mean Value Theorem for non Differentiable Mappings in Banach Spaces

Deville, Robert (1995)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

We prove that if f is a real valued lower semicontinuous function on a Banach space X and if there exists a C^1, real valued Lipschitz continuous function on X with bounded support and which is not identically equal to zero, then f is Lipschitz continuous of constant K provided all lower subgradients of f are bounded by K. As an application, we give a regularity result of viscosity supersolutions (or subsolutions) of Hamilton-Jacobi equations in infinite dimensions which satisfy a coercive condition....
