Gamma-convergence results for phase-field approximations of the 2D-Euler Elastica Functional

Luca Mugnai (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We establish some new results about the Γ-limit, with respect to the L1-topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations { } , { ˜ } ℰ ε ε ,   x10ff65; ℰ ε ε of the so-called Euler’s Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane. In particular we characterize theΓ-limit as ε → 0 of ℰε, and show that in general the Γ-limits of ℰεand ˜ x10ff65; ℰ ε do not coincide on indicator functions of sets with non-smooth boundary. More precisely we show that the domain of theΓ-limit of ˜ x10ff65;...

Singularly perturbed set of periodic functional-differential equations arising in optimal control theory

Glizer, Valery Y. (2017)

Proceedings of Equadiff 14

We consider the singularly perturbed set of periodic functional-differential matrix Riccati equations, associated with a periodic linear-quadratic optimal control problem for a singularly perturbed delay system. The delay is small of order of a small positive multiplier for a part of the derivatives in the system. A zero-order asymptotic solution to this set of Riccati equations is constructed and justified.

Structure of stable solutions of a one-dimensional variational problem

Nung Kwan Yip (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove the periodicity of all H2-local minimizers with low energy for a one-dimensional higher order variational problem. The results extend and complement an earlier work of Stefan Müller which concerns the structure of global minimizer. The energy functional studied in this work is motivated by the investigation of coherent solid phase transformations and the competition between the effects from regularization and formation of small scale structures. With a special choice of a bilinear double...
