Nonlinear monotone semigroups and viscosity solutions
In this paper we clarify that the interior proximal method developed in [6] (vol. 27 of this journal) for solving variational inequalities with monotone operators converges under essentially weaker conditions concerning the functions describing the "feasible" set as well as the operator of the variational inequality.
In this article, we show the convergence of a class of numerical schemes for certain maximal monotone evolution systems; a by-product of this results is the existence of solutions in cases which had not been previously treated. The order of these schemes is in general and when the only non Lipschitz continuous term is the subdifferential of the indicatrix of a closed convex set. In the case of Prandtl’s rheological model, our estimates in maximum norm do not depend on spatial dimension.
In this article, we show the convergence of a class of numerical schemes for certain maximal monotone evolution systems; a by-product of this results is the existence of solutions in cases which had not been previously treated. The order of these schemes is 1/2 in general and 1 when the only non Lipschitz continuous term is the subdifferential of the indicatrix of a closed convex set. In the case of Prandtl's rheological model, our estimates in maximum norm do not depend on spatial dimension. ...
In this paper, we are interested in the dynamic evolution of an elastic body, acted by resistance forces depending also on the displacements. We put the mechanical problem into an abstract functional framework, involving a second order nonlinear evolution equation with initial conditions. After specifying convenient hypotheses on the data, we prove an existence and uniqueness result. The proof is based on Faedo-Galerkin method.
Properties of Lipschitz and d.c. surfaces of finite codimension in a Banach space and properties of generated -ideals are studied. These -ideals naturally appear in the differentiation theory and in the abstract approximation theory. Using these properties, we improve an unpublished result of M. Heisler which gives an alternative proof of a result of D. Preiss on singular points of convex functions.
It is shown that every maximal monotone operator on a real Banach space with relatively compact range is of type NI. Moreover, if the space has a separable dual space then every maximally monotone operator can be approximated by a sequence of maximal monotone operators of type NI, which converge to in a reasonable sense (in the sense of Kuratowski-Painleve convergence).
We study the mappings of monotone type in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. We introduce a new class as a generalization of and extend the definition of quasimonotone map. We also prove existence results for equations involving monotone-like mappings.
