On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. II. Mixed boundary conditions

Igor Bock, Ivan Hlaváček, Ján Lovíšek (1985)

Aplikace matematiky

A control of the system of Kármán's equations for a thin elastic plate is considered. Existence of an optimal transversal load and optimal stress function, respectively, is proven. The set of admissible functions is chosen in a way guaranteeing the unique solvability of the state problem. The differentiability of the state function with respect to the control variable, uniqueness of the optimal control and some necessary conditions of optimality are discussed.

On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. I. The homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions

Igor Bock, Ivan Hlaváček, Ján Lovíšek (1984)

Aplikace matematiky

A control of the system of nonlinear Kármán's equations for a thin elastic plate with clamped edge is considered. The transversal loading plays the role of the control variable. The set of admissible controls is chosen in a way guaranteeing the unique solvability of the state function with respect to the control variable is proved. A disscussion of uniqueness of the optimal control and some necessary conditions of optimality are presented.

On the optimal control problem governed by the equations of von Kármán. III. The case of an arbitrary large perpendicular load

Igor Bock, Ivan Hlaváček, Ján Lovíšek (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

We shall deal with an optimal control problem for the deffection of a thin elastic plate. We consider the perpendicular load on the plate as the control variable. In contrast to the papers [1], [2], arbitrarily large loads are edmitted. As the unicity of a solution of the state equation is not guaranteed, we consider the cost functional defined on the set of admissible controls and states, and the state equation plays the role of the constraint. The existence of an optimal couple (i.e., control...

On the quasiconvex exposed points

Kewei Zhang (2001)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The notion of quasiconvex exposed points is introduced for compact sets of matrices, motivated from the variational approach to material microstructures. We apply the notion to give geometric descriptions of the quasiconvex extreme points for a compact set. A weak version of Straszewicz type density theorem in convex analysis is established for quasiconvex extreme points. Some examples are examined by using known explicit quasiconvex functions.

On the Representation of Effective Energy Densities

Christopher J. Larsen (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider the question raised in [1] of whether relaxed energy densities involving both bulk and surface energies can be written as a sum of two functions, one depending on the net gradient of admissible functions, and the other on net singular part. We show that, in general, they cannot. In particular, if the bulk density is quasiconvex but not convex, there exists a convex and homogeneous of degree 1 function of the jump such that there is no such representation.
