A nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation with the Newton boundary conditions is examined. We prove that for greater data we get a greater weak solution. This is the so-called comparison principle. It is applied to a steady-state heat conduction problem in anisotropic magnetic cores of large transformers.
To find nonlinear minimization problems are considered and standard -regularity assumptions on the criterion function and constrained functions are reduced to -regularity. With the aid of the generalized second order directional derivative for real-valued functions, a new second order necessary optimality condition and a new second order sufficient optimality condition for these problems are derived.
A nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions is examined. The problem describes for instance a stationary heat conduction in nonlinear inhomogeneous and anisotropic media. For finite elements of degree we prove the optimal rates of convergence in the -norm and in the -norm provided the true solution is sufficiently smooth. Considerations are restricted to domains with polyhedral boundaries. Numerical integration is not taken into account....
We examine new second-order necessary conditions and sufficient conditions which characterize nondominated solutions of a generalized constrained multiobjective programming problem. The vector-valued criterion function as well as constraint functions are supposed to be from the class . Second-order optimality conditions for local Pareto solutions are derived as a special case.
