Duality in the obstacle and unilateral problem for the biharmonic operator

Ján Lovíšek (1981)

Aplikace matematiky

Similarity:

The paper presents a problem of duality for the obstacle and unilateral biharmonic problem (the equilibrium of a thin plate with an obstacle inside the domain or on the boundary). The dual variational inequality is derived by introducing polar functions.

Characterizations of ɛ-duality gap statements for constrained optimization problems

Horaţiu-Vasile Boncea, Sorin-Mihai Grad (2013)

Open Mathematics

Similarity:

In this paper we present different regularity conditions that equivalently characterize various ɛ-duality gap statements (with ɛ ≥ 0) for constrained optimization problems and their Lagrange and Fenchel-Lagrange duals in separated locally convex spaces, respectively. These regularity conditions are formulated by using epigraphs and ɛ-subdifferentials. When ɛ = 0 we rediscover recent results on stable strong and total duality and zero duality gap from the literature.

Continuous dependence on function parameters for superlinear Dirichlet problems

Aleksandra Orpel (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We discuss the existence of solutions for a certain generalization of the membrane equation and their continuous dependence on function parameters. We apply variational methods and consider the PDE as the Euler-Lagrange equation for a certain integral functional, which is not necessarily convex and coercive. As a consequence of the duality theory we obtain variational principles for our problem and some numerical results concerning approximation of solutions.
