Si discretizza il problema dell'ostacolo parabolico con differenze all'indietro nel tempo ed elementi finiti lineari nello spazio e si dimostrano stime dell'errore per la frontiera libera discreta.
We study the covering dimension of the fixed point set of lower semicontinuous multifunctions of which many values can be non-closed or non-convex. An application to variational inequalities is presented.
In this paper we mathematically analyse an evolution variational inequality which formulates the double critical-state model for type-II superconductivity in 3D space and propose a finite element method to discretize the formulation. The double critical-state model originally proposed by Clem and Perez-Gonzalez is formulated as a model in 3D space which characterizes the nonlinear relation between the electric field, the electric current, the perpendicular component of the electric current...
Elements of general theory of infinitely prolonged underdetermined systems of ordinary differential equations are outlined and applied to the equivalence of one-dimensional constrained variational integrals. The relevant infinite-dimensional variant of Cartan’s moving frame method expressed in quite elementary terms proves to be surprisingly efficient in solution of particular equivalence problems, however, most of the principal questions of the general theory remains unanswered. New concepts of...
We have given several proofs on the existence of the price equilibrium --- via variational inequality --- via degree theory and via Brouwer's theorems.
We prove the existence of solutions to systems of degenerate variational inequalities.
New contributions concerning the minimal displacement of points under mappings (defect of fixed point) are obtained.
An optimization problem for the unilateral contact between a pseudoplate and a rigid obstacle is considered. The variable thickness of the pseudoplate plays the role of a control variable. The cost functional is a regular functional only in the smooth case. The existence of an optimal thickness is verified. The penalized optimal control problem is considered in the general case.
We study the flat region of stationary points of the functional under the constraint , where is a bounded domain in . Here is a function which is concave for small and convex for large, and is a given constant. The problem generalizes the classical minimal resistance body problems considered by Newton. We construct a family of partially flat radial solutions to the associated stationary problem when is a ball. We also analyze some other qualitative properties. Moreover, we show the...
The Signorini problem with friction in quasi-coupled linear thermo-elasticity (the 2D-case) is discussed. The problem is the model problem in the geodynamics. Using piecewise linear finite elements on the triangulation of the given domain, numerical procedures are proposed. The finite element analysis for the Signorini problem with friction on the contact boundary of a polygonal domain is given. The rate of convergence is proved if the exact solution is sufficiently regular.
