Evolution equations in ostensible metric spaces: First-order evolutions of nonsmooth sets with nonlocal terms

Thomas Lorenz (2008)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarly to quasidifferential equations of Panasyuk, the so-called mutational equations of Aubin provide a generalization of ordinary differential equations to locally compact metric spaces. Here we present their extension to a nonempty set with a possibly nonsymmetric distance. In spite of lacking any linear structures, a distribution-like approach leads to so-called right-hand forward solutions. These extensions are mainly motivated by compact subsets of the Euclidean space...

Existence of minimizers and necessary conditions in set-valued optimization with equilibrium constraints

Truong Q. Bao, Boris S. Mordukhovich (2007)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we study set-valued optimization problems with equilibrium constraints (SOPECs) described by parametric generalized equations in the form 0 G ( x ) + Q ( x ) , where both G and Q are set-valued mappings between infinite-dimensional spaces. Such models particularly arise from certain optimization-related problems governed by set-valued variational inequalities and first-order optimality conditions in nondifferentiable programming. We establish general results on the existence of optimal solutions under...

Existence of solutions and of multiple solutions for nonlinear nonsmooth periodic systems

Evgenia H. Papageorgiou, Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper we examine nonlinear periodic systems driven by the vectorial p -Laplacian and with a nondifferentiable, locally Lipschitz nonlinearity. Our approach is based on the nonsmooth critical point theory and uses the subdifferential theory for locally Lipschitz functions. We prove existence and multiplicity results for the “sublinear” problem. For the semilinear problem (i.e. p = 2 ) using a nonsmooth multidimensional version of the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition, we prove an existence theorem...

Existence Theorems for the Dirichlet Elliptic Inclusion Involving Exponential-Growth-Type Multivalued Right-Hand Side

Hôǹg Thái Nguyêñ, Dariusz Pączka (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

We present two existence results for the Dirichlet elliptic inclusion with an upper semicontinuous multivalued right-hand side in exponential-type Orlicz spaces involving a vector Laplacian, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on a domain Ω⊂ ℝ². The first result is obtained via the multivalued version of the Leray-Schauder principle together with the Nakano-Dieudonné sequential weak compactness criterion. The second result is obtained by using the nonsmooth variational technique together with...

From Eckart and Young approximation to Moreau envelopes and vice versa

Jean-Baptiste Hiriart-Urruty, Hai Yen Le (2013)

RAIRO - Operations Research - Recherche Opérationnelle

In matricial analysis, the theorem of Eckart and Young provides a best approximation of an arbitrary matrix by a matrix of rank at most r. In variational analysis or optimization, the Moreau envelopes are appropriate ways of approximating or regularizing the rank function. We prove here that we can go forwards and backwards between the two procedures, thereby showing that they carry essentially the same information.

Generalized minimizers of convex integral functionals, Bregman distance, Pythagorean identities

Imre Csiszár, František Matúš (2012)

Kybernetika

Integral functionals based on convex normal integrands are minimized subject to finitely many moment constraints. The integrands are finite on the positive and infinite on the negative numbers, strictly convex but not necessarily differentiable. The minimization is viewed as a primal problem and studied together with a dual one in the framework of convex duality. The effective domain of the value function is described by a conic core, a modification of the earlier concept of convex core. Minimizers...
