Coerciveness property for a class of non-smooth functionals.
Generalized and unified versions of coincidence or maximal element theorems of Fan, Yannelis and Prabhakar, Ha, Sessa, Tarafdar, Rim and Kim, Mehta and Sessa, Kim and Tan are obtained. Our arguments are based on our recent works on a broad class of multifunctions containing composites of acyclic maps defined on convex subsets of Hausdorff topological vector spaces.
In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of completely generalized nonlinear variational inclusions for fuzzy mappings and construct some new iterative algorithms. We prove the existence of solutions for this kind of completely generalized nonlinear variational inclusions and the convergence of iterative sequences generated by the algorithms.
Problems of a unilateral contact between bounded bodies without friction are considered within the range of two-dimensional linear elastostatics. Two classes of problems are distinguished: those with a bounded contact zone and with an enlargign contact zone. Both classes can be formulated in terms of displacements by means of a variational inequality. The proofs of existence of a solution are presented and the uniqueness discussed.
The paper deals with the approximation of contact problems of two elastic bodies by finite element method. Using piecewise linear finite elements, some error estimates are derived, assuming that the exact solution is sufficiently smooth. If the solution is not regular, the convergence itself is proven. This analysis is given for two types of contact problems: with a bounded contact zone and with enlarging contact zone.
Four optimal design problems and a weight minimization problem are considered for elastic plates with small bending rigidity, resting on a unilateral elastic foundation, with inner rigid obstacles and a friction condition on a part of the boundary. The state problem is represented by a variational inequality and the design variables influence both the coefficients and the set of admissible state functions. If some input data are allowed to be uncertain a new method of reliable solutions is employed....
Dans ce papier, nous étudions un problème de contrôle par les coefficients issu de la lubrification élastohydrodynamique. La variable de contrôle est l’épaisseur du fluide. Le phénomène de cavitation est pris en compte par le modèle Elrod-Adams, connu pour ses performances dans la conservation des débits d’entrée et de sortie. L’idée est de régulariser dans l’équation d’état le graphe d’Heaviside, en l’approchant par une suite de fonctions monotones et régulières. Nous dérivons les conditions d’optimalité...
The purpose of this paper is to study a control by coefficients problem issued from the elastohydrodynamic lubrication. The control variable is the film thickness.The cavitation phenomenon takes place and described by the Elrod-Adams model, suggested in preference to the classical variational inequality due to its ability to describe input and output flow. The idea is to use the penalization in the state equation by approximating the Heaviside graph whith a sequence of monotone and regular functions....
