Time domain decomposition in final value optimal control of the Maxwell system

John E. Lagnese, G. Leugering (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We consider a boundary optimal control problem for the Maxwell system with a final value cost criterion. We introduce a time domain decomposition procedure for the corresponding optimality system which leads to a sequence of uncoupled optimality systems of local-in-time optimal control problems. In the limit full recovery of the coupling conditions is achieved, and, hence, the local solutions and controls converge to the global ones. The process is inherently parallel and is suitable for real-time...

Time Domain Decomposition in Final Value Optimal Control of the Maxwell System

Time domain simulation of a piano. Part 1: model description

J. Chabassier, A. Chaigne, P. Joly (2014)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

The purpose of this study is the time domain modeling of a piano. We aim at explaining the vibratory and acoustical behavior of the piano, by taking into account the main elements that contribute to sound production. The soundboard is modeled as a bidimensional thick, orthotropic, heterogeneous, frequency dependent damped plate, using Reissner Mindlin equations. The vibroacoustics equations allow the soundboard to radiate into the surrounding air, in which we wish to compute the complete acoustical...

Time optimal control of the heat equation with pointwise control constraints

Karl Kunisch, Lijuan Wang (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Time optimal control problems for an internally controlled heat equation with pointwise control constraints are studied. By Pontryagin’s maximum principle and properties of nontrivial solutions of the heat equation, we derive a bang-bang property for time optimal control. Using the bang-bang property and establishing certain connections between time and norm optimal control problems for the heat equation, necessary and sufficient conditions for the optimal time and the optimal control are obtained....

Time Spectral Method for Periodic and Quasi-Periodic Unsteady Computations on Unstructured Meshes

D. J. Mavriplis, Z. Yang (2011)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

For flows with strong periodic content, time-spectral methods can be used to obtain time-accurate solutions at substantially reduced cost compared to traditional time-implicit methods which operate directly in the time domain. However, these methods are only applicable in the presence of fully periodic flows, which represents a severe restriction for many aerospace engineering problems. This paper presents an extension of the time-spectral approach...

Time-dependent coupling of Navier–Stokes and Darcy flows

Aycil Cesmelioglu, Vivette Girault, Béatrice Rivière (2013)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

A weak solution of the coupling of time-dependent incompressible Navier–Stokes equations with Darcy equations is defined. The interface conditions include the Beavers–Joseph–Saffman condition. Existence and uniqueness of the weak solution are obtained by a constructive approach. The analysis is valid for weak regularity interfaces.

Time-dependent electromagnetic waves in a cavity

Bo Kjellmert, Thomas Strömberg (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

The electromagnetic initial-boundary value problem for a cavity enclosed by perfectly conducting walls is considered. The cavity medium is defined by its permittivity and permeability which vary continuously in space. The electromagnetic field comes from a source in the cavity. The field is described by a magnetic vector potential 𝐀 satisfying a wave equation with initial-boundary conditions. This description through 𝐀 is rigorously shown to give a unique solution of the problem and is the starting...

Time-optimal boundary control of an infinite order parabolic system with time lags

Adam Kowalewski, Anna Krakowiak (2008)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

In this paper the time-optimal boundary control problem is presented for a distributed infinite order parabolic system in which time lags appear in the integral form both in the state equation and in the boundary condition. Some specific properties of the optimal control are discussed.

Topology optimization of systems governed by variational inequalities

Andrzej Myśliński (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

This paper deals with the formulation of the necessary optimality condition for a topology optimization problem of an elastic body in unilateral contact with a rigid foundation. In the contact problem of Tresca, a given friction is governed by an elliptic variational inequality of the second order. The optimization problem consists in finding such topology of the domain occupied by the body that the normal contact stress along the contact boundary of the body is minimized. The topological derivative...

Torsional asymmetry in suspension bridge systems

Josef Malík (2015)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper a dynamic linear model of suspension bridge center spans is formulated and three different ways of fixing the main cables are studied. The model describes vertical and torsional oscillations of the deck under the action of lateral wind. The mutual interactions of main cables, center span, and hangers are analyzed. Three variational evolutions are analyzed. The variational equations correspond to the way how the main cables are fixed. The existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence...
