Penalty method in design optimization of systems governed by a unilateral boundary value problem
This paper studies the periodic feedback stabilization of the controlled linear time-periodic ordinary differential equation: ẏ(t) = A(t)y(t) + B(t)u(t), t ≥ 0, where [A(·), B(·)] is a T-periodic pair, i.e., A(·) ∈ L∞(ℝ+; ℝn×n) and B(·) ∈ L∞(ℝ+; ℝn×m) satisfy respectively A(t + T) = A(t) for a.e. t ≥ 0 and B(t + T) = B(t) for a.e. t ≥ 0. Two periodic stablization criteria for a T-period pair [A(·), B(·)] are established. One is an analytic criterion which is related to the transformation over time...
We prove that Perron's method and the method of half-relaxed limits of Barles-Perthame works for the so called B-continuous viscosity solutions of a large class of fully nonlinear unbounded partial differential equations in Hilbert spaces. Perron's method extends the existence of B-continuous viscosity solutions to many new equations that are not of Bellman type. The method of half-relaxed limits allows limiting operations with viscosity solutions without any a priori estimates. Possible applications...
This paper is concerned with the numerical approximation of mean curvature flow t → Ω(t) satisfying an additional inclusion-exclusion constraint Ω1 ⊂ Ω(t) ⊂ Ω2. Classical phase field model to approximate these evolving interfaces consists in solving the Allen-Cahn equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In this work, we introduce a new phase field model, which can be viewed as an Allen Cahn equation with a penalized double well potential. We first justify this method by a Γ-convergence result...
