Some remarks on existence results for optimal boundary control problems

Pablo Pedregal (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

An optimal control problem when controls act on the boundary can also be understood as a variational principle under differential constraints and no restrictions on boundary and/or initial values. From this perspective, some existence theorems can be proved when cost functionals depend on the gradient of the state. We treat the case of elliptic and non-elliptic second order state laws only in the two-dimensional situation. Our results are based on deep facts about gradient Young measures.

Spatial heterogeneity in 3D-2D dimensional reduction

Jean-François Babadjian, Gilles A. Francfort (2005)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

A justification of heterogeneous membrane models as zero-thickness limits of a cylindral three-dimensional heterogeneous nonlinear hyperelastic body is proposed in the spirit of Le Dret (1995). Specific characterizations of the 2D elastic energy are produced. As a generalization of Bouchitté et al. (2002), the case where external loads induce a density of bending moment that produces a Cosserat vector field is also investigated. Throughout, the 3D-2D dimensional reduction is viewed as a problem...

Stability of microstructure for tetragonal to monoclinic martensitic transformations

Pavel Belik, Mitchell Luskin (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

We give an analysis of the stability and uniqueness of the simply laminated microstructure for all three tetragonal to monoclinic martensitic transformations. The energy density for tetragonal to monoclinic transformations has four rotationally invariant wells since the transformation has four variants. One of these tetragonal to monoclinic martensitic transformations corresponds to the shearing of the rectangular side, one corresponds to the shearing of the square base, and one corresponds to...

Stability results for convergence of convex sets and functions in nonreflexive spaces.

Jaafar Lahrache (1996)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

Let Γ(X) be the convex proper lower semicontinuous functions on a normed linear space X. We show, subject to Rockafellar’s constraints qualifications, that the operations of sum, episum and restriction are continuous with respect to the slice topology that reduces to the topology of Mosco convergence for reflexive X. We show also when X is complete that the epigraphical difference is continuous. These results are applied to convergence of convex sets.

Structure of stable solutions of a one-dimensional variational problem

Nung Kwan Yip (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove the periodicity of all H2-local minimizers with low energy for a one-dimensional higher order variational problem. The results extend and complement an earlier work of Stefan Müller which concerns the structure of global minimizer. The energy functional studied in this work is motivated by the investigation of coherent solid phase transformations and the competition between the effects from regularization and formation of small scale structures. With a special choice of a bilinear double...

Su alcune proprietà delle funzioni convesse

Luigi Ambrosio (1992)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In questo lavoro riassumiamo alcuni risultati di una ricerca riguardante le singolarità (punti di non differenziabilità) delle funzioni convesse. Questa ricerca copre vari aspetti, che vanno dalla stima della dimensione di Hausdorff di certi tipi di singolarità fino allo studio della loro propagazione. Studiamo anche problemi di semicontinuità e rilassamento collegati all'area del grafico del gradiente di una funzione convessa e l'esistenza dei determinanti, in senso debole, dei minori della matrice...
