On the lower semicontinuous quasiconvex envelope for unbounded integrands (I)

Marcus Wagner (2009)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Motivated by the study of multidimensional control problems of Dieudonné-Rashevsky type, we raise the question how to understand to notion of quasiconvexity for a continuous function f with a convex body K n m instead of the whole space n m as the range of definition. In the present paper, we trace the consequences of an infinite extension of f outside K, and thus study quasiconvex functions which are allowed to take the value +∞. As an appropriate envelope, we introduce and investigate the lower semicontinuous...

Preparation theorems for matrix valued functions

Nils Dencker (1993)

Annales de l'institut Fourier

We generalize the Malgrange preparation theorem to matrix valued functions F ( t , x ) C ( R × R n ) satisfying the condition that t det F ( t , 0 ) vanishes to finite order at t = 0 . Then we can factor F ( t , x ) = C ( t , x ) P ( t , x ) near (0,0), where C ( t , x ) C is inversible and P ( t , x ) is polynomial function of t depending C on x . The preparation is (essentially) unique, up to functions vanishing to infinite order at x = 0 , if we impose some additional conditions on P ( t , x ) . We also have a generalization of the division theorem, and analytic versions generalizing the Weierstrass preparation...
