Dimension reduction for functionals on solenoidal vector fields

Stefan Krömer (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study integral functionals constrained to divergence-free vector fields in on a thin domain, under standard -growth and coercivity assumptions, 1    ∞. We prove that as the thickness of the domain goes to zero, the Gamma-limit with respect to weak convergence in is always given by the associated functional with convexified energy density wherever it is finite. Remarkably, this happens despite the fact that relaxation of nonconvex functionals subject...

Exponential deficiency of convolutions of densities

Iosif Pinelis (2012)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

If a probability density (x) (x ∈ ℝ) is bounded and := ∫e (x)dx < ∞ for some linear functional u and all  ∈ (01), then, for each  ∈ (01) and all large enough , the -fold convolution of the -tilted density p ˜ t ˜pt := e (x)/ is bounded. This is a corollary of a general, “non-i.i.d.” result, which is also shown to enjoy a certain optimality property. Such results and their corollaries stated in terms of the absolute integrability of the corresponding characteristic...

Variational approximation of a functional of Mumford–Shah type in codimension higher than one

Francesco Ghiraldin (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper we consider a new kind of Mumford–Shah functional () for maps : ℝ → ℝ with  ≥ . The most important novelty is that the energy features a singular set of codimension greater than one, defined through the theory of distributional jacobians. After recalling the basic definitions and some well established results, we prove an approximation property for the energy ()  −convergence, in the same spirit of the work by Ambrosio and Tortorelli [L....

A test-set for -power-free binary morphisms

F. Wlazinski (2010)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

A morphism is -power-free if and only if is -power-free whenever is a -power-free word. A morphism is -power-free up to if and only if is -power-free whenever is a -power-free word of length at most . Given an integer ≥ 2, we prove that a binary morphism is -power-free if and only if it is -power-free up to . This bound becomes linear for primitive morphisms: a binary primitive morphism is -power-free if and only if it is -power-free up to ...

Convolution property and exponential bounds for symmetric monotone densities

Claude Lefèvre, Sergey Utev (2013)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

Similarity:

Our first theorem states that the convolution of two symmetric densities which are -monotone on (0∞) is again (symmetric) -monotone provided 0   ≤ 1. We then apply this result, together with an extremality approach, to derive sharp moment and exponential bounds for distributions having such shape constrained densities.

Dimension reduction for −Δ1

Maria Emilia Amendola, Giuliano Gargiulo, Elvira Zappale (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

A 3D-2D dimension reduction for −Δ is obtained. A power law approximation from −Δ as  → 1 in terms of -convergence, duality and asymptotics for least gradient functions has also been provided.

An analysis of electrical impedance tomography with applications to Tikhonov regularization

Bangti Jin, Peter Maass (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

This paper analyzes the continuum model/complete electrode model in the electrical impedance tomography inverse problem of determining the conductivity parameter from boundary measurements. The continuity and differentiability of the forward operator with respect to the conductivity parameter in -norms are proved. These analytical results are applied to several popular regularization formulations, which incorporate information of smoothness/sparsity on the inhomogeneity...

-convergence and absolute minimizers for supremal functionals

Thierry Champion, Luigi De Pascale, Francesca Prinari (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper, we prove that the approximants naturally associated to a supremal functional -converge to it. This yields a lower semicontinuity result for supremal functionals whose supremand satisfy weak coercivity assumptions as well as a generalized Jensen inequality. The existence of minimizers for variational problems involving such functionals (together with a Dirichlet condition) then easily follows. In the scalar case we show the existence of at least one absolute minimizer...

Linearized plastic plate models as Γ-limits of 3D finite elastoplasticity

Elisa Davoli (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

The subject of this paper is the rigorous derivation of reduced models for a thin plate by means of -convergence, in the framework of finite plasticity. Denoting by the thickness of the plate, we analyse the case where the scaling factor of the elasto-plastic energy per unit volume is of order , with ≥ 3. According to the value of , partially or fully linearized models are deduced, which correspond, in the absence of plastic deformation, to the Von Kármán plate theory...

Some results on complexity of μ-calculus evaluation in the black-box model

Paweł Parys (2013)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications - Informatique Théorique et Applications

Similarity:

We consider -calculus formulas in a normal form: after a prefix of fixed-point quantifiers follows a quantifier-free expression. We are interested in the problem of evaluating (model checking) such formulas in a powerset lattice. We assume that the quantifier-free part of the expression can be any monotone function given by a black-box – we may only ask for its value for given arguments. As a first result we prove that when the lattice is fixed, the problem becomes polynomial (the assumption...

Equations on partial words

Francine Blanchet-Sadri, D. Dakota Blair, Rebeca V. Lewis (2007)

RAIRO - Theoretical Informatics and Applications

Similarity:

It is well-known that some of the most basic properties of words, like the commutativity () and the conjugacy (), can be expressed as solutions of word equations. An important problem is to decide whether or not a given equation on words has a solution. For instance, the equation has only periodic solutions in a free monoid, that is, if holds with integers , then there exists a word such that are powers of . This result, which received a lot of attention, was first proved by Lyndon...

A Variational Problem Modelling Behavior of Unorthodox Silicon Crystals

J. Hannon, M. Marcus, Victor J. Mizel (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

Controlling growth at crystalline surfaces requires a detailed and quantitative understanding of the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters governing mass transport. Many of these parameters can be determined by analyzing the isothermal wandering of steps at a vicinal [“step-terrace”] type surface [for a recent review see [4]]. In the case of crystals one finds that these meanderings develop larger amplitudes as the equilibrium temperature is raised (as is consistent with the statistical...
