A frictional contact problem with wear and damage for electro-viscoelastic materials

Mohamed Selmani, Lynda Selmani (2010)

Applications of Mathematics

We consider a quasistatic contact problem for an electro-viscoelastic body. The contact is frictional and bilateral with a moving rigid foundation which results in the wear of the contacting surface. The damage of the material caused by elastic deformation is taken into account, its evolution is described by an inclusion of parabolic type. We present a weak formulation for the model and establish existence and uniqueness results. The proofs are based on classical results for elliptic variational...

A linear extrapolation method for a general phase relaxation problem

Xun Jiang (1996)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

This paper examines a linear extrapolation time-discretization of a 2 ⁢ D phase relaxation model with temperature dependent convection and reaction. The model consists of a diffusion-advection PDE for temperature and an ODE with double obstacle ± 1 for phase variable. Under a stability constraint, this scheme is shown to converge with optimal orders O ⁢ τ ⁢ log ⁡ τ 1 / 2 for temperature and enthalpy, and O ⁢ τ 1 / 2 ⁢ log ⁡ τ 1 / 2 for heat flux as time-step τ ↓ 0 .

An existence result for a nonconvex variational problem via regularity

Irene Fonseca, Nicola Fusco, Paolo Marcellini (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Local Lipschitz continuity of minimizers of certain integrals of the Calculus of Variations is obtained when the integrands are convex with respect to the gradient variable, but are not necessarily uniformly convex. In turn, these regularity results entail existence of minimizers of variational problems with non-homogeneous integrands nonconvex with respect to the gradient variable. The x -dependence, explicitly appearing in the integrands, adds significant technical difficulties in the proof.

An existence result for nonlinear evolution equations of second order

Dimitrios A. Kandilakis (1996)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we consider a second order differential equation involving the difference of two monotone operators. Using an auxiliary equation, a priori bounds and a compactness argument we show that the differential equation has a local solution. An example is also presented in detail.

An existence theorem for an hyperbolic differential inclusion in Banach spaces

Mouffak Benchohra, Sotiris K. Ntouyas (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we investigate the existence of solutions on unbounded domain to a hyperbolic differential inclusion in Banach spaces. We shall rely on a fixed point theorem due to Ma which is an extension to multivalued between locally convex topological spaces of Schaefer's theorem.

Anisotropic parabolic problems with slowly or rapidly growing terms

Agnieszka Świerczewska-Gwiazda (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We consider an abstract parabolic problem in a framework of maximal monotone graphs, possibly multi-valued, with growth conditions formulated with the help of an x-dependent N-function. The main novelty of the paper consists in the lack of any growth restrictions on the N-function combined with its anisotropic character, namely we allow the dependence on all the directions of the gradient, not only on its absolute value. This leads to using the notion of modular convergence and studying in detail...

CM-Selectors for pairs of oppositely semicontinuous multivalued maps with p -decomposable values

Hôǹg Thái Nguyêñ, Maciej Juniewicz, Jolanta Ziemińska (2001)

Studia Mathematica

We present a new continuous selection theorem, which unifies in some sense two well known selection theorems; namely we prove that if F is an H-upper semicontinuous multivalued map on a separable metric space X, G is a lower semicontinuous multivalued map on X, both F and G take nonconvex L p ( T , E ) -decomposable closed values, the measure space T with a σ-finite measure μ is nonatomic, 1 ≤ p < ∞, L p ( T , E ) is the Bochner-Lebesgue space of functions defined on T with values in a Banach space E, F(x) ∩ G(x) ≠ ∅...

Continuous dependence for solution classes of Euler-Lagrange equations generated by linear growth energies

Ken Shirakawa (2009)

Banach Center Publications

In this paper, a one-dimensional Euler-Lagrange equation associated with the total variation energy, and Euler-Lagrange equations generated by approximating total variations with linear growth, are considered. Each of the problems presented can be regarded as a governing equation for steady-states in solid-liquid phase transitions. On the basis of precise structural analysis for the solutions, the continuous dependence between the solution classes of approximating problems and that of the limiting...
