An optimal control problem when controls act on the
boundary can also be understood as a variational principle under differential
constraints and no restrictions on boundary and/or initial values. From this
perspective, some existence theorems can be proved when cost functionals
depend on the gradient of the state. We treat the case of elliptic and
non-elliptic second order state laws only in the two-dimensional
situation. Our results are based on deep facts about
gradient Young measures.
A justification of heterogeneous membrane models as zero-thickness limits of a cylindral three-dimensional heterogeneous nonlinear hyperelastic body is proposed in the spirit of Le Dret (1995). Specific characterizations of the 2D elastic energy are produced. As a generalization of Bouchitté et al. (2002), the case where external loads induce a density of bending moment that produces a Cosserat vector field is also investigated. Throughout, the 3D-2D dimensional reduction is viewed as a problem...

We give an analysis of the stability and uniqueness of the simply
laminated microstructure for all three tetragonal to monoclinic
martensitic transformations. The energy density for tetragonal to
monoclinic transformations has four rotationally invariant wells since
the transformation has four variants. One of these tetragonal to
monoclinic martensitic transformations corresponds to the shearing of
the rectangular side, one corresponds to the shearing of the square
base, and one corresponds to...
Let Γ(X) be the convex proper lower semicontinuous functions on a normed linear space X. We show, subject to Rockafellar’s constraints qualifications, that the operations of sum, episum and restriction are continuous with respect to the slice topology that reduces to the topology of Mosco convergence for reflexive X. We show also when X is complete that the epigraphical difference is continuous. These results are applied to convergence of convex sets.
We prove the periodicity of all H2-local minimizers with low energy
for a one-dimensional higher order variational problem.
The results extend and complement an earlier work of Stefan Müller
which concerns the structure of global minimizer.
The energy functional studied in this work is motivated by the
investigation of coherent solid phase transformations and the
competition between the
effects from regularization and formation of small scale structures.
With a special choice of a bilinear double...
In questo lavoro riassumiamo alcuni risultati di una ricerca riguardante le singolarità (punti di non differenziabilità) delle funzioni convesse. Questa ricerca copre vari aspetti, che vanno dalla stima della dimensione di Hausdorff di certi tipi di singolarità fino allo studio della loro propagazione. Studiamo anche problemi di semicontinuità e rilassamento collegati all'area del grafico del gradiente di una funzione convessa e l'esistenza dei determinanti, in senso debole, dei minori della matrice...
