Sufficient optimality conditions and semi-smooth newton methods for optimal control of stationary variational inequalities

Karl Kunisch, Daniel Wachsmuth (2012)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper sufficient second order optimality conditions for optimal control problems subject to stationary variational inequalities of obstacle type are derived. Since optimality conditions for such problems always involve measures as Lagrange multipliers, which impede the use of efficient Newton type methods, a family of regularized problems is introduced. Second order sufficient optimality conditions are derived for the regularized problems...

Sul problema di contatto tra piastre

Aldo Maceri (1992)

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

Si studia il problema di contatto tra due piastre sottili linearmente elastiche, incastrate al bordo, poste inizialmente a distanza δ e trasversalmente caricate. Si fa l'ipotesi che il contatto tra le due piastre, a deformazione avvenuta, sia privo di attrito. Il problema dell'equilibrio elastico è formulato per via variazionale in termini di lavori virtuali o, equivalentemente, di minimo del funzionale dell'energia. Il quadro analitico di riferimento è quello della teoria delle disequazioni variazionali...

Systems of singular BVPs - existence of solutions and their properties

Aleksandra Orpel (2014)

Banach Center Publications

We discuss the existence and properties of solutions for systems of singular second-order ODEs in both sublinear and superlinear cases. Our approach is based on the variational method enriched by some topological ideas. We also investigate the continuous dependence of solutions on functional parameters.

The blocking of an inhomogeneous Bingham fluid. Applications to landslides

Patrick Hild, Ioan R. Ionescu, Thomas Lachand-Robert, Ioan Roşca (2002)

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

This work is concerned with the flow of a viscous plastic fluid. We choose a model of Bingham type taking into account inhomogeneous yield limit of the fluid, which is well-adapted in the description of landslides. After setting the general threedimensional problem, the blocking property is introduced. We then focus on necessary and sufficient conditions such that blocking of the fluid occurs. The anti-plane flow in twodimensional and onedimensional cases is considered. A variational formulation...

The Euler-Lagrange inclusion in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces

Hôǹg Thái Nguyêñ, Dariusz Pączka (2014)

Banach Center Publications

We establish the Euler-Lagrange inclusion of a nonsmooth integral functional defined on Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. This result is achieved through variational techniques in nonsmooth analysis and an integral representation formula for the Clarke generalized gradient of locally Lipschitz integral functionals defined on Orlicz spaces.

The interface crack with Coulomb friction between two bonded dissimilar elastic media

Hiromichi Itou, Victor A. Kovtunenko, Atusi Tani (2011)

Applications of Mathematics

We study a model of interfacial crack between two bonded dissimilar linearized elastic media. The Coulomb friction law and non-penetration condition are assumed to hold on the whole crack surface. We define a weak formulation of the problem in the primal form and get the equivalent primal-dual formulation. Then we state the existence theorem of the solution. Further, by means of Goursat-Kolosov-Muskhelishvili stress functions we derive convergent expansions of the solution near the crack tip.

The nonlinear complementarity model of industrial symbiosis network equilibrium problem

Shiqin Xu, Guoshan Liu, Wendai Lv, Yingmei Liu (2014)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

In this paper, we propose an industrial symbiosis network equilibrium model by using nonlinear complementarity theory. The industrial symbiosis network consists of industrial producers, industrial consumers, industrial decomposers and demand markets, which imitates natural ecosystem by means of exchanging by-products and recycling useful materials exacted from wastes. The industrial producers and industrial consumers are assumed to be concerned with maximization of economic profits as well as minimization...
