We consider a quadratic control problem with a semilinear state equation depending on a small parameter . We show that the optimal control is a regular function of such parameter.
In the present paper, some results concerning the continuous dependence of optimal solutions and optimal values on data for an optimal control problem associated with a Goursat-Darboux problem and an integral cost functional are derived.
The paper deals with an optimal control problem with a scalar first-order state constraint and a scalar control. In presence of (nonessential) touch points, the arc structure of the trajectory is not stable. Under some reasonable assumptions, we show that boundary arcs are structurally stable, and that touch point can either remain so, vanish or be transformed into a single boundary arc. Assuming a weak second-order optimality condition (equivalent to uniform quadratic growth), stability and...
In dimension one it is proved that the solution to a total variation-regularized least-squares problem is always a function which is "constant almost everywhere" , provided that the data are in a certain sense outside the range of the operator to be inverted. A similar, but weaker result is derived in dimension two.
We survey recent results on the mathematical modeling of nonconvex and nonsmooth contact problems arising in mechanics and engineering. The approach to such problems is based on the notions of an operator subdifferential inclusion and a hemivariational inequality, and focuses on three aspects. First we report on results on the existence and uniqueness of solutions to subdifferential inclusions. Then we discuss two classes of quasi-static hemivariational ineqaulities, and finally, we present ideas...
The paper concerns the study of tilt stability of local minimizers in standard problems of nonlinear programming. This notion plays an important role in both theoretical and numerical aspects of optimization and has drawn a lot of attention in optimization theory and its applications, especially in recent years. Under the classical Mangasarian-Fromovitz Constraint Qualification, we establish relationships between tilt stability and some other stability notions in constrained optimization. Involving...
Si considera il problema al contorno in , , dove è un aperto limitato e connesso ed è un parametro reale. Si prova che, se è «superlineare» ed è abbastanza piccolo, il problema precedente ha almeno tre soluzioni distinte.
