The value function representing Hamilton–Jacobi equation with hamiltonian depending on value of solution

A. Misztela (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In the paper we investigate the regularity of the value function representing Hamilton–Jacobi equation: − + ( − ) = 0 with a final condition: () = (). Hamilton–Jacobi equation, in which the Hamiltonian depends on the value of solution , is represented by the value function with more complicated structure than the value function in Bolza problem. This function is described with the use of some class of Mayer problems related to the optimal control theory...

Analysis of Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations arising in stochastic singular control

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

We study the partial differential equation max{Lu − f, H(Du)} = 0 where is the unknown function, is a second-order elliptic operator, is a given smooth function and is a convex function. This is a model equation for Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations arising in stochastic singular control. We establish the existence of a unique viscosity solution of the Dirichlet problem that has a Hölder continuous gradient. We also show that if is convex, the gradient of this solution is...

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...

Multi-bump solutions for nonlinear Schrödinger equations with electromagnetic fields

Huirong Pi, Chunhua Wang (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Similarity:

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of multi-bump solutions for a nonlinear Schrödinger equations with electromagnetic fields. We prove under some suitable conditions that for any positive integer , there exists () > 0 such that, for 0 < < (), the problem has an -bump complex-valued solution. As a result, when → 0, the equation has more and more multi-bump complex-valued solutions.
