A quasistatic bilateral contact problem with friction for nonlinear elastic materials.
We consider a mathematical model of a quasistatic contact between an elastic body and an obstacle. The contact is modelled with unilateral constraint and normal compliance, associated to a version of Coulomb's law of dry friction where the coefficient of friction depends on the slip displacement. We present a weak formulation of the problem and establish an existence result. The proofs employ a time-discretization method, compactness and lower semicontinuity arguments.
In this paper we study a nonlinear evolution inclusion of subdifferential type in Hilbert spaces. The perturbation term is Hausdorff continuous in the state variable and has closed but not necessarily convex values. Our result is a stochastic generalization of an existence theorem proved by Kravvaritis and Papageorgiou in [6].
Shape optimization is described by finding the geometry of a structure which is optimal in the sense of a minimized cost function with respect to certain constraints. A Newton’s mesh independence principle was very efficiently used to solve a certain class of optimal design problems in [6]. Here motivated by optimization considerations we show that under the same computational cost an even finer mesh independence principle can be given.
In order to save CPU-time in solving large systems of equations in function spaces we decompose the large system in subsystems and solve the subsystems by an appropriate method. We give a sufficient condition for the convergence of the corresponding procedure and apply the approach to differential algebraic systems.
We prove a formula relating the index of a solution and the rotation number of a certain complex vector along bifurcation diagrams.
It is known that the vector stop operator with a convex closed characteristic of class is locally Lipschitz continuous in the space of absolutely continuous functions if the unit outward normal mapping is Lipschitz continuous on the boundary of . We prove that in the regular case, this condition is also necessary.
In this paper, following the concepts in [5, 7], we shall establish a convergence result in a uniformly convex Banach space using the Jungck–Mann iteration process introduced by Singh et al [13] and a certain general contractive condition. The authors of [13] established various stability results for a pair of nonself-mappings for both Jungck and Jungck–Mann iteration processes. Our result is a generalization and extension of that of [7] and its corollaries. It is also an improvement on the result...
The nonhomogeneous backward Cauchy problem , where is a positive self-adjoint unbounded operator which has continuous spectrum and is a given function being given is regularized by the well-posed problem. New error estimates of the regularized solution are obtained. This work extends earlier results by N. Boussetila and by M. Denche and S. Djezzar.
We present an iterative method based on an infinite dimensional adaptation of the successive overrelaxation (SOR) algorithm for solving the 2-D neutron transport equation. In a wide range of application, the neutron transport operator admits a Self-Adjoint and m-Accretive Splitting (SAS). This splitting leads to an ADI-like iterative method which converges unconditionally and is equivalent to a fixed point problem where the operator is a 2 by 2 matrix...
