Analyse de récession et résultats de stabilité d'une convergence variationnelle, application à la théorie de la dualité en programmation mathématique

Driss Mentagui (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Let X be a Banach space and X' its continuous dual. C(X) (resp. C(X')) denotes the set of nonempty convex closed subsets of X (resp. ω*-closed subsets of X') endowed with the topology of uniform convergence of distance functions on bounded sets. This topology reduces to the Hausdorff metric topology on the closed and bounded convex sets [16] and in general has a Hausdorff-like presentation [11]. Moreover, this topology is well suited for estimations and constructive approximations [6-9]. We...

Anisotropic functions : a genericity result with crystallographic implications

Victor J. Mizel, Alexander J. Zaslavski (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In the 1950’s and 1960’s surface physicists/metallurgists such as Herring and Mullins applied ingenious thermodynamic arguments to explain a number of experimentally observed surface phenomena in crystals. These insights permitted the successful engineering of a large number of alloys, where the major mathematical novelty was that the surface response to external stress was anisotropic. By examining step/terrace (vicinal) surface defects it was discovered through lengthy and tedious experiments...

Application of homogenization theory related to Stokes flow in porous media

Børre Bang, Dag Lukkassen (1999)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider applications, illustration and concrete numerical treatments of some homogenization results on Stokes flow in porous media. In particular, we compute the global permeability tensor corresponding to an unidirectional array of circular fibers for several volume-fractions. A 3-dimensional problem is also considered.

A-Quasiconvexity: Relaxation and Homogenization

Andrea Braides, Irene Fonseca, Giovanni Leoni (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Integral representation of relaxed energies and of Γ-limits of functionals ( u , v ) ↦ ∫ Ω f ( x , u ( x ) , v ( x ) ) d x are obtained when sequences of fields v may develop oscillations and are constrained to satisfy a system of first order linear partial differential equations. This framework includes the treatement of divergence-free fields, Maxwell's equations in micromagnetics, and curl-free fields. In the latter case classical relaxation theorems in W1,p, are recovered.

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.
