Saddle point criteria for second order η -approximated vector optimization problems

Anurag Jayswal, Shalini Jha, Sarita Choudhury (2016)

Kybernetika

The purpose of this paper is to apply second order η -approximation method introduced to optimization theory by Antczak [2] to obtain a new second order η -saddle point criteria for vector optimization problems involving second order invex functions. Therefore, a second order η -saddle point and the second order η -Lagrange function are defined for the second order η -approximated vector optimization problem constructed in this approach. Then, the equivalence between an (weak) efficient solution of the...

Scaling laws for non-euclidean plates and the W 2 , 2 isometric immersions of riemannian metrics

Marta Lewicka, Mohammad Reza Pakzad (2011)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Recall that a smooth Riemannian metric on a simply connected domain can be realized as the pull-back metric of an orientation preserving deformation if and only if the associated Riemann curvature tensor vanishes identically. When this condition fails, one seeks a deformation yielding the closest metric realization. We set up a variational formulation of this problem by introducing the non-Euclidean version of the nonlinear elasticity functional, and establish its Γ-convergence under the proper...

Scope and generalization of the theory of linearly constrained linear regulator

Paolo Alessandro, Elena de Santis (1999)

Kybernetika

A previous paper by the same authors presented a general theory solving (finite horizon) feasibility and optimization problems for linear dynamic discrete-time systems with polyhedral constraints. We derived necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions without assuming any restrictive hypothesis. For the solvable cases we also provided the inequative feedback dynamic system, that generates by forward recursion all and nothing but the feasible (or optimal, according to the cases)...

Second order optimality conditions in the smooth case and applications in optimal control

Bernard Bonnard, Jean-Baptiste Caillau, Emmanuel Trélat (2007)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The aim of this article is to present algorithms to compute the first conjugate time along a smooth extremal curve, where the trajectory ceases to be optimal. It is based on recent theoretical developments of geometric optimal control, and the article contains a review of second order optimality conditions. The computations are related to a test of positivity of the intrinsic second order derivative or a test of singularity of the extremal flow. We derive an algorithm called COTCOT (Conditions...

Second order unbounded parabolic equations in separated form

Maciej Kocan, Andrzej Święch (1995)

Studia Mathematica

We prove existence and uniqueness of viscosity solutions of Cauchy problems for fully nonlinear unbounded second order Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman-Isaacs equations defined on the product of two infinite-dimensional Hilbert spaces H'× H'', where H'' is separable. The equations have a special "separated" form in the sense that the terms involving second derivatives are everywhere defined, continuous and depend only on derivatives with respect to x'' ∈ H'', while the unbounded terms are of first order...
