Noncoercive hemivariational inequality and its applications in nonconvex unilateral mechanics

Daniel Goeleven (1996)

Applications of Mathematics

This paper is devoted to the study of a class of hemivariational inequalities which was introduced by P. D. Panagiotopoulos [31] and later by Z. Naniewicz [22]. These variational formulations are natural nonconvex generalizations [15–17], [22–33] of the well-known variational inequalities. Several existence results are proved in [15]. In this paper, we are concerned with some related results and several applications.

Nonconvex Duality and Semicontinuous Proximal Solutions of HJB Equation in Optimal Control

Mustapha Serhani, Nadia Raïssi (2009)

RAIRO - Operations Research

In this work, we study an optimal control problem dealing with differential inclusion. Without requiring Lipschitz condition of the set valued map, it is very hard to look for a solution of the control problem. Our aim is to find estimations of the minimal value, (α), of the cost function of the control problem. For this, we construct an intermediary dual problem leading to a weak duality result, and then, thanks to additional assumptions of monotonicity of proximal subdifferential, we give a more...

Nonsmooth equations approach to a constrained minimax problem

Yan Gao, Xuewen Li (2005)

Applications of Mathematics

An equivalent model of nonsmooth equations for a constrained minimax problem is derived by using a KKT optimality condition. The Newton method is applied to solving this system of nonsmooth equations. To perform the Newton method, the computation of an element of the b -differential for the corresponding function is developed.

Nonsmooth Problems of Calculus of Variations via Codifferentiation

Maxim Dolgopolik (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper multidimensional nonsmooth, nonconvex problems of the calculus of variations with codifferentiable integrand are studied. Special classes of codifferentiable functions, that play an important role in the calculus of variations, are introduced and studied. The codifferentiability of the main functional of the calculus of variations is derived. Necessary conditions for the extremum of a codifferentiable function on a closed convex set and its applications to the nonsmooth problems of...

Non-smooth variational bifurcation

Marco Degiovanni, Antonio Marino (1987)

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

We consider bifurcation problems associated with some lower semicontinuous functionals that do not satisfy the usual regularity assumptions. For such functionals it is possible to define a generalized "Hessian form" and to show that certain eigenvalues of this one are bifurcation values. The results are applied to a bifurcation problem for elliptic variational inequalities.
