The concentration-compactness principle in the calculus of variations. The limit case, Part II.

Pierre-Louis Lions (1985)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

This paper is the second part of a work devoted to the study of variational problems (with constraints) in functional spaces defined on domains presenting some (local) form of invariance by a non-compact group of transformations like the dilations in RN. This contains for example the class of problems associated with the determination of extremal functions in inequalities like Sobolev inequalities, convolution or trace inequalities... We show how the concentration-compactness principle and method...

The concentration-compactness principle in the calculus of variations. The limit case, Part I.

Pierre-Louis Lions (1985)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

After the study made in the locally compact case for variational problems with some translation invariance, we investigate here the variational problems (with constraints) for example in RN where the invariance of RN by the group of dilatations creates some possible loss of compactness. This is for example the case for all the problems associated with the determination of extremal functions in functional inequalities (like for example the Sobolev inequalities). We show here how the concentration-compactness...

The linear-quadratic optimal control problem for delay differential equations

Gabriella Di Blasio (1981)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In questo lavoro si considera il problema del controllo ottimo per un'equazione lineare con ritardo in uno spazio di Hilbert, con costo quadratico. Si dimostra che il problema della sintesi si traduce in una equazione di Riccati in uno opportuno spazio prodotto e si prova che tale equazione ammette un’unica soluzione.

Théorème de minimax sans topologie ni convexité

Andrzej Granas, Jin-Rong Lee, Fon-Che Liu (1992)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Dans cete note, nous présentons un théorème de minimax (Théorème A) formulé seulement en langage de la théorie des ensembles. Ce résultat permet de déduire de façon immédiate (en utilisant un lemme de topologie générale) plusieurs théorèmes de minimax bien connus.

Topology optimization of systems governed by variational inequalities

Andrzej Myśliński (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

This paper deals with the formulation of the necessary optimality condition for a topology optimization problem of an elastic body in unilateral contact with a rigid foundation. In the contact problem of Tresca, a given friction is governed by an elliptic variational inequality of the second order. The optimization problem consists in finding such topology of the domain occupied by the body that the normal contact stress along the contact boundary of the body is minimized. The topological derivative...

Vector and operator valued measures as controls for infinite dimensional systems: optimal control

N.U. Ahmed (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper we consider a general class of systems determined by operator valued measures which are assumed to be countably additive in the strong operator topology. This replaces our previous assumption of countable additivity in the uniform operator topology by the weaker assumption. Under the relaxed assumption plus an additional assumption requiring the existence of a dominating measure, we prove some results on existence of solutions and their regularity properties both for linear and semilinear...

Γ -limiti e minimi di Pareto

Roberto Peirone (1983)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

The notion of Γ -limit is extended from the case of functions with values in 𝐑 ¯ to the case of those with values in an arbitrary complete lattice and the problem of convergence of Pareto minima related to a convex cone is considered.
