Existence theorems for some optimal control problems
We present two existence results for the Dirichlet elliptic inclusion with an upper semicontinuous multivalued right-hand side in exponential-type Orlicz spaces involving a vector Laplacian, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on a domain Ω⊂ ℝ². The first result is obtained via the multivalued version of the Leray-Schauder principle together with the Nakano-Dieudonné sequential weak compactness criterion. The second result is obtained by using the nonsmooth variational technique together with...
We prove the existence of a partially regular solution for a system of degenerate variational inequalities with natural growth.
We construct explicitly piecewise affine mappings u:ℝ ⁿ → ℝ ⁿ with affine boundary data satisfying the constraint div u = 0. As an application of the construction we give short and direct proofs of the main approximation lemmas with constraints in convex integration theory. Our approach provides direct proofs avoiding approximation by smooth mappings and works in all dimensions n ≥ 2. After a slight modification of our construction, the constraint div u = 0 can be turned into det Du = 1, giving...
We analyze the optimal sales process of a stochastic advertising and pricing model with constant demand elasticities. We derive explicit formulae of the densities of the (optimal) sales times and (optimal) prices when a fixed finite number of units of a product are to be sold during a finite sales period or an infinite one. Furthermore, for any time t the exact distribution of the inventory, i.e. the number of unsold items, at t is determined and will be expressed in terms of elementary functions....
We consider an evolution equation similar to that introduced by Vese in [Comm. Partial Diff. Eq. 24 (1999) 1573–1591] and whose solution converges in large time to the convex envelope of the initial datum. We give a stochastic control representation for the solution from which we deduce, under quite general assumptions that the convergence in the Lipschitz norm is in fact exponential in time.

In this paper, the stability of a Timoshenko beam with time delays in the boundary input is studied. The system is fixed at the left end, and at the other end there are feedback controllers, in which time delays exist. We prove that this closed loop system is well-posed. By the complete spectral analysis, we show that there is a sequence of eigenvectors and generalized eigenvectors of the system operator that forms a Riesz basis for the state Hilbert space. Hence the system satisfies the spectrum...

In this work, we communicate the topic of complex Lie algebroids based on the extended fractional calculus of variations in the complex plane. The complexified Euler-Lagrange geodesics and Wong's fractional equations are derived. Many interesting consequences are explored.
Internal parameters, eigenstrains, or eigenstresses, arise in functionally graded materials, which are typically present in particulate, layered, or rock bodies. These parameters may be realized in different ways, e.g., by prestressing, temperature changes, effects of wetting, swelling, they may also represent inelastic strains, etc. In order to clarify the use of eigenparameters (eigenstrains or eigenstresses) in physical description, the classical formulation of elasticity is presented, and the...
