Variational-hemivariational inequalities in nonlinear elasticity. The coercive case

Panagiotis D. Panagiotopoulos (1988)

Aplikace matematiky

Existence of a solution of the problem of nonlinear elasticity with non-classical boundary conditions, when the relationship between the corresponding dual quantities is given in terms of a nonmonotone and generally multivalued relation. The mathematical formulation leads to a problem of non-smooth and nonconvex optimization, and in its weak form to hemivariational inequalities and to the determination of the so called substationary points of the given potential.

Γ -convergence and absolute minimizers for supremal functionals

Thierry Champion, Luigi De Pascale, Francesca Prinari (2004)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we prove that the L p approximants naturally associated to a supremal functional Γ -converge to it. This yields a lower semicontinuity result for supremal functionals whose supremand satisfy weak coercivity assumptions as well as a generalized Jensen inequality. The existence of minimizers for variational problems involving such functionals (together with a Dirichlet condition) then easily follows. In the scalar case we show the existence of at least one absolute minimizer (i.e. local...

Γ-convergence and absolute minimizers for supremal functionals

In this paper, we prove that the Lp approximants naturally associated to a supremal functional Γ-converge to it. This yields a lower semicontinuity result for supremal functionals whose supremand satisfy weak coercivity assumptions as well as a generalized Jensen inequality. The existence of minimizers for variational problems involving such functionals (together with a Dirichlet condition) then easily follows. In the scalar case we show the existence of at least one absolute minimizer (i.e. local solution)...
