Shape optimization of elastoplastic bodies obeying Hencky's law

Ivan Hlaváček (1986)

Aplikace matematiky

A minimization of a cost functional with respect to a part of the boundary, where the body is fixed, is considered. The criterion is defined by an integral of a yield function. The principle of Haar-Kármán and piecewise constant stress approximations are used to solve the state problem. A convergence result and the existence of an optimal boundary is proved.

Singular perturbations in optimal control problem with application to nonlinear structural analysis

Ján Lovíšek (1996)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper concerns an optimal control problem of elliptic singular perturbations in variational inequalities (with controls appearing in coefficients, right hand sides and convex sets of states as well). The existence of an optimal control is verified. Applications to the optimal control of an elasto-plastic plate with a small rigidity and with an obstacle are presented. For elasto-plastic plates with a moving part of the boundary a primal finite element model is applied and a convergence result...

Sobolev regularity via the convergence rate of convolutions and Jensen’s inequality

Mark A. Peletier, Robert Planqué, Matthias Röger (2007)

Annali della Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa - Classe di Scienze

We derive a new criterion for a real-valued function u to be in the Sobolev space W 1 , 2 ( ℝ n ) . This criterion consists of comparing the value of a functional ∫ f ( u ) with the values of the same functional applied to convolutions of u with a Dirac sequence. The difference of these values converges to zero as the convolutions approach u , and we prove that the rate of convergence to zero is connected to regularity: u ∈ W 1 , 2 if and only if the convergence is sufficiently fast. We finally apply our criterium to a minimization...

Solution of degenerate parabolic variational inequalities with convection

Jozef Kacur, Roger Van Keer (2003)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

Degenerate parabolic variational inequalities with convection are solved by means of a combined relaxation method and method of characteristics. The mathematical problem is motivated by Richard’s equation, modelling the unsaturated – saturated flow in porous media. By means of the relaxation method we control the degeneracy. The dominance of the convection is controlled by the method of characteristics.

Solution of Signorini's contact problem in the deformation theory of plasticity by secant modules method

Jindřich Nečas, Ivan Hlaváček (1983)

Aplikace matematiky

A problem of unilateral contact between an elasto-plastic body and a rigid frictionless foundation is solved within the range of the so called deformation theory of plasticity. The weak solution is defined by means of a variational inequality. Then the so called secant module (Kačanov's) iterative method is introduced, each step of which corresponds to a Signorini's problem of elastoplastics. The convergence of the method is proved on an abstract level.

Solution set in a special case of generalized Nash equilibrium games

Josef Cach (2001)

Kybernetika

A special class of generalized Nash equilibrium problems is studied. Both variational and quasi-variational inequalities are used to derive some results concerning the structure of the sets of equilibria. These results are applied to the Cournot oligopoly problem.

Solving variational inclusions by a multipoint iteration method under center-Hölder continuity conditions

Catherine Cabuzel, Alain Pietrus (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We prove the existence of a sequence ( x k ) satisfying 0 ∈ f ( x k ) + ∑ i = 1 M a i ∇ f ( x k + β i ( x k + 1 - x k ) ) ( x k + 1 - x k ) + F ( x k + 1 ) , where f is a function whose second order Fréchet derivative ∇²f satifies a center-Hölder condition and F is a set-valued map from a Banach space X to the subsets of a Banach space Y. We show that the convergence of this method is superquadratic.

Some new existence, sensitivity and stability results for the nonlinear complementarity problem

Rubén López (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this work we study the nonlinear complementarity problem on the nonnegative orthant. This is done by approximating its equivalent variational-inequality-formulation by a sequence of variational inequalities with nested compact domains. This approach yields simultaneously existence, sensitivity, and stability results. By introducing new classes of functions and a suitable metric for performing the approximation, we provide bounds for the asymptotic set of the solution set and coercive existence...
