Weighted energy-dissipation functionals for gradient flows

Alexander Mielke, Ulisse Stefanelli (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We investigate a global-in-time variational approach to abstract evolution by means of the weighted energy-dissipation functionals proposed by Mielke and Ortiz [ESAIM: COCV14 (2008) 494–516]. In particular, we focus on gradient flows in Hilbert spaces. The main result is the convergence of minimizers and approximate minimizers of these functionals to the unique solution of the gradient flow. Sharp convergence rates are provided and the convergence analysis is combined with time-discretization....

Γ-convergence approach to variational problems in perforated domains with Fourier boundary conditions

Valeria Chiadò Piat, Andrey Piatnitski (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The work focuses on the Γ-convergence problem and the convergence of minimizers for a functional defined in a periodic perforated medium and combining the bulk (volume distributed) energy and the surface energy distributed on the perforation boundary. It is assumed that the mean value of surface energy at each level set of test function is equal to zero. Under natural coercivity and p-growth assumptions on the bulk energy, and the assumption that the surface energy satisfies p-growth upper bound,...
