Synthesis of optimal control for nonlinear third order systems

Wiesław Szwiec

Similarity:

The paper is devoted to a certain problem in the theory of synthesis of optimal control. The fundamental results of research in the synthesis of optimal control for second order systems are given in [1], [2], [5], [10]. In particular, in [2] and [5] some specific nonlinear systems are investigated, namely the systems related with the differential equations of the forms̈ + F(s,ṡ) = u or s̈ + F(s,ṡ,u) = 0where u is a control parameter in the interval [—1,1]. Some results concerning third...

Blowup rates for nonlinear heat equations with gradient terms and for parabolic inequalities

Philippe Souplet, Slim Tayachi (2001)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Consider the nonlinear heat equation (E): $u_{t} - Δ u = {| u |}^{p - 1} u + b {| \nabla u |}^{q}$ . We prove that for a large class of radial, positive, nonglobal solutions of (E), one has the blowup estimates $C ₁ {(T - t)}^{- 1 / (p - 1)} {\leq | | u (t) | |}_{\infty} \leq C ₂ {(T - t)}^{- 1 / (p - 1)}$ . Also, as an application of our method, we obtain the same upper estimate if u only satisfies the nonlinear parabolic inequality $u_{t} - u_{x x} \geq u^{p}$ . More general inequalities of the form $u_{t} - u_{x x} \geq f (u)$ with, for instance, $f (u) = (1 + u) l o g^{p} (1 + u)$ are also treated. Our results show that for solutions of the parabolic inequality, one has essentially the same estimates as for solutions...

Existence results for a class of nonlinear parabolic equations with two lower order terms

Applicationes Mathematicae

Similarity:

We investigate the existence of renormalized solutions for some nonlinear parabolic problems associated to equations of the form ⎧ $\partial (e^{β u} - 1) / \partial t - {d i v (| \nabla u |}^{p - 2} \nabla u) + d i v (c (x, t) {| u |}^{s - 1} u) + b (x, t) {| \nabla u |}^{r} = f$ in Q = Ω×(0,T), ⎨ u(x,t) = 0 on ∂Ω ×(0,T), ⎩ $(e^{β u} - 1) (x, 0) = (e^{β u ₀} - 1) (x)$ in Ω. with s = (N+2)/(N+p) (p-1), $c (x, t) \in {(L^{τ} (Q T))}^{N}$ , τ = (N+p)/(p-1), r = (N(p-1) + p)/(N+2), $b (x, t) \in L^{N + 2, 1} (Q T)$ and f ∈ L¹(Q).

The regularity of the positive part of functions in $L^{2} (I; H^{1} (Ω)) \cap H^{1} (I; H^{1} {(Ω)}^{*})$ with applications to parabolic equations

Daniel Wachsmuth (2016)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

Let $u \in L^{2} (I; H^{1} (Ω))$ with $\partial_{t} u \in L^{2} (I; H^{1} {(Ω)}^{*})$ be given. Then we show by means of a counter-example that the positive part $u^{+}$ of $u$ has less regularity, in particular it holds $\partial_{t} u^{+} \notin L^{1} (I; H^{1} {(Ω)}^{*})$ in general. Nevertheless, $u^{+}$ satisfies an integration-by-parts formula, which can be used to prove non-negativity of weak solutions of parabolic equations.

Transportation flow problems with Radon measure variables

Marcus Wagner (2000)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

For a multidimensional control problem ${(P)}_{K}$ involving controls $u \in L_{\infty}$ , we construct a dual problem ${(D)}_{K}$ in which the variables ν to be paired with u are taken from the measure space rca (Ω,) instead of $(L_{\infty}) *$ . For this purpose, we add to ${(P)}_{K}$ a Baire class restriction for the representatives of the controls u. As main results, we prove a strong duality theorem and saddle-point conditions.

On higher-order semilinear parabolic equations with measures as initial data

Victor Galaktionov (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We consider $2 m$ th-order $(m \geq 2)$ semilinear parabolic equations $u_{t} = - {(- Δ)}^{m} u \pm {| u |}^{p - 1} u$ in $ℛ^{N} \times ℝ_{+}$ $(p > 1)$ , with Dirac’s mass $δ (x)$ as the initial function. We show that for $p < p_{0} = 1 + 2 m / N$ , the Cauchy problem admits a solution $u (x, t)$ which is bounded and smooth for small $t > 0$ , while for $p \geq p_{0}$ such a local in time solution does not exist. This leads to a boundary layer phenomenon in constructing a proper solution via regular approximations.

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with the study of a nonlocal nonlinear parabolic problem associated with the equation $u_{t} - M (\int_{Ω} φ u d x) div (A (x, t, u) \nabla u) = g (x, t, u)$ in $Ω \times (0, T)$ , where $Ω$ is a bounded domain of $ℝ^{n}$ $(n \geq 1)$ , $T > 0$ is a positive number, $A (x, t, u)$ is an $n \times n$ matrix of variable coefficients depending on $u$ and $M : ℝ \to ℝ$ , $φ : Ω \to ℝ$ , $g : Ω \times (0, T) \times ℝ \to ℝ$ are given functions. We consider two different assumptions on $g$ . The existence of a weak solution for this problem is proved using the Schauder fixed point theorem for each of these assumptions. Moreover, if $A (x, t, u) = a (x, t)$ depends only on...

If X is a Banach space and C a convex subset of X*, we investigate whether the distance $d ̂ ({\bar{c o}}^{w *} (K), C) : = s u p i n f | | k - c | | : c \in C : k \in {\bar{c o}}^{w *} (K)$ from ${\bar{c o}}^{w *} (K)$ to C is M-controlled by the distance d̂(K,C) (that is, if $d ̂ ({\bar{c o}}^{w *} (K), C) \leq M d ̂ (K, C)$ for some 1 ≤ M < ∞), when K is any weak*-compact subset of X*. We prove, for example, that: (i) C has 3-control if C contains no copy of the basis of ℓ₁(c); (ii) C has 1-control when C ⊂ Y ⊂ X* and Y is a subspace with weak*-angelic closed dual unit ball B(Y*); (iii) if C is a convex subset of X and X is considered canonically...

Absence of global solutions to a class of nonlinear parabolic inequalities

M. Guedda (2002)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study the absence of nonnegative global solutions to parabolic inequalities of the type $u_{t} \geq - {(- Δ)}^{β / 2} u - V (x) u + h (x, t) u^{p}$ , where ${(- Δ)}^{β / 2}$ , 0 < β ≤ 2, is the β/2 fractional power of the Laplacian. We give a sufficient condition which implies that the only global solution is trivial if p > 1 is small. Among other properties, we derive a necessary condition for the existence of local and global nonnegative solutions to the above problem for the function V satisfying ${V ₊ (x) \sim a | x |}^{- b}$ , where a ≥ 0, b > 0, p > 1 and V₊(x): = maxV(x),0....

Quantitative stability for sumsets in $ℝ^{n}$

Alessio Figalli, David Jerison (2015)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Given a measurable set $A \subset ℝ^{n}$ of positive measure, it is not difficult to show that $| A + A | = | 2 A |$ if and only if $A$ is equal to its convex hull minus a set of measure zero. We investigate the stability of this statement: If $(| A + A | - | 2 A |) / | A |$ is small, is $A$ close to its convex hull? Our main result is an explicit control, in arbitrary dimension, on the measure of the difference between $A$ and its convex hull in terms of $(| A + A | - | 2 A |) / | A |$ .

Vectorial quasilinear diffusion equation with dynamic boundary condition

Similarity:

In this paper, we consider a class of initial-boundary value problems for quasilinear PDEs, subject to the dynamic boundary conditions. Each initial-boundary problem is denoted by (S) $_{ε}$ with a nonnegative constant $ε$ , and for any $ε \geq 0$ , (S) $_{ε}$ can be regarded as a vectorial transmission system between the quasilinear equation in the spatial domain $Ω$ , and the parabolic equation on the boundary $Γ : = \partial Ω$ , having a sufficient smoothness. The objective of this study is to establish a mathematical method,...

Similarity:

The aim of the paper is to provide a linearization approach to the $𝕃^{\infty}$ See PDF-control problems. We begin by proving a semigroup-type behaviour of the set of constraints appearing in the linearized formulation of (standard) control problems. As a byproduct we obtain a linear formulation of the dynamic programming principle. Then, we use the $𝕃^{p}$ See PDF approach and the associated linear formulations. This seems to be the most appropriate tool for treating $𝕃^{\infty}$ See PDF problems in continuous and...

Truncated spectral regularization for an ill-posed non-linear parabolic problem

Ajoy Jana, M. Thamban Nair (2019)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

It is known that the nonlinear nonhomogeneous backward Cauchy problem $u_{t} (t) + A u (t) = f (t, u (t))$ , $0 \leq t < τ$ with $u (τ) = φ$ , where $A$ is a densely defined positive self-adjoint unbounded operator on a Hilbert space, is ill-posed in the sense that small perturbations in the final value can lead to large deviations in the solution. We show, under suitable conditions on $φ$ and $f$ , that a solution of the above problem satisfies an integral equation involving the spectral representation of $A$ , which is also ill-posed. Spectral truncation...

On a new normalization for tractor covariant derivatives

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

A regular normal parabolic geometry of type $G / P$ on a manifold $M$ gives rise to sequences $D_{i}$ of invariant differential operators, known as the curved version of the BGG resolution. These sequences are constructed from the normal covariant derivative $\nabla^{ω}$ on the corresponding tractor bundle $V$ , where $ω$ is the normal Cartan connection. The first operator $D_{0}$ in the sequence is overdetermined and it is well known that $\nabla^{ω}$ yields the prolongation of this operator in the homogeneous case $M = G / P$ . Our first...

Stability of periodic stationary solutions of scalar conservation laws with space-periodic flux

Anne-Laure Dalibard (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

This article investigates the long-time behaviour of parabolic scalar conservation laws of the type $\partial_{t} u + {div}_{y} A (y, u) - Δ_{y} u = 0$ , where $y \in ℝ^{N}$ and the flux $A$ is periodic in $y$ . More specifically, we consider the case when the initial data is an $L^{1}$ disturbance of a stationary periodic solution. We show, under polynomial growth assumptions on the flux, that the difference between u and the stationary solution behaves in $L^{1}$ norm like a self-similar profile for large times. The proof uses a time and space change of variables...

We consider a class of $ℝ^{d}$ -valued stochastic control systems, with possibly unbounded costs. The systems evolve according to a discrete-time equation $x_{t + 1} = G ₙ (x_{t}, a_{t}) + ξ_{t}$ (t = 0,1,... ), for each fixed n = 0,1,..., where the $ξ_{t}$ are i.i.d. random vectors, and the Gₙ are given functions converging pointwise to some function $G_{\infty}$ as n → ∞. Under suitable hypotheses, our main results state the existence of stationary control policies that are expected average cost (EAC) optimal and sample path average cost (SPAC)...

We consider an elliptic boundary value problem with unilateral constraints and subdifferential boundary conditions. The problem describes the heat transfer in a domain $D \subset ℝ^{d}$ and its weak formulation is in the form of a hemivariational inequality for the temperature field, denoted by $𝒫$ .

Then, using appropriate Tykhonov triples, governed by a nonlinear operator $G$ and a convex $\tilde{K}$ , we provide results concerning the well-posedness...

We prove that the time evolution of the empirical density of particles, in the diffusive scaling, has a distinct behavior according to the range of the parameter $β$ . If $β \in [0, 1)$ , the hydrodynamic limit is given by the usual heat equation. If $β = 1$ , it is given by a parabolic equation involving an operator...

Exponential stability conditions for non-autonomous differential equations with unbounded commutators in a Banach space

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Similarity:

We consider the equation $d y (t) / d t = (A + B (t)) y (t)$ $(t \geq 0)$ , where $A$ is the generator of an analytic semigroup ${(e^{A t})}_{t \geq 0}$ on a Banach space $𝒳$ , $B (t)$ is a variable bounded operator in $𝒳$ . It is assumed that the commutator $K (t) = A B (t) - B (t) A$ has the following property: there is a linear operator $S$ having a bounded left-inverse operator $S_{l}^{- 1}$ such that $∥ S e^{A t} ∥$ is integrable and the operator $K (t) S_{l}^{- 1}$ is bounded. Under these conditions an exponential stability test is derived. As an example we consider a coupled system of parabolic equations. ...
