A general iterative method for solving the variational inequality problem and fixed point problem of an infinite family of nonexpansive mappings in Hilbert spaces.
In this note we provide a new geometric lower bound on the so-called Grad’s number of a domain in terms of how far is from being axisymmetric. Such an estimate is important in the study of the trend to equilibrium for the Boltzmann equation for dilute gases.

The level set method is used for shape optimization of the energy functional for the Signorini problem. The boundary variations technique is used in order to derive the shape gradients of the energy functional. The conical differentiability of solutions with respect to the boundary variations is exploited. The topology modifications during the optimization process are identified by means of an asymptotic analysis. The topological derivatives of the energy shape functional are employed for the topology...
A unilateral problem of an elastic plate above a rigid interior obstacle is solved on the basis of a mixed variational inequality formulation. Using the saddle point theory and the Herrmann-Johnson scheme for a simultaneous computation of deflections and moments, an iterative procedure is proposed, each step of which consists in a linear plate problem. The existence, uniqueness and some convergence analysis is presented.
We introduce and analyse a mixed formulation of the Monge-Kantorovich equations, which express optimality conditions for the mass transportation problem with cost proportional to distance. Furthermore, we introduce and analyse the finite element approximation of this formulation using the lowest order Raviart-Thomas element. Finally, we present some numerical experiments, where both the optimal transport density and the associated Kantorovich potential are computed for a coupling problem and problems...
