Superconvergence analysis and a posteriori error estimation of a Finite Element Method for an optimal control problem governed by integral equations

Ningning Yan (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper, we discuss the numerical simulation for a class of constrained optimal control problems governed by integral equations. The Galerkin method is used for the approximation of the problem. A priori error estimates and a superconvergence analysis for the approximation scheme are presented. Based on the results of the superconvergence analysis, a recovery type a posteriori error estimator is provided, which can be used for adaptive mesh refinement.

Support prices for weakly maximal programs of a growth model with uncertainty

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou (1994)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We consider an infinite dimensional, nonstationary growth model with uncertainty. Using techniques from functional analysis and the subdifferentiation theory of concave functions, we establish the existence of a supporting price system for a weakly maximal program.

Sur un principe géométrique en analyse convexe

Andrzej Granas, Marc Lassonde (1991)

Studia Mathematica

In this note we present we present a new elementary approach in the theory of minimax inequalities. The proof of the main result (called the geometric principle) uses only some simple properties of convex functions. The geometric principle (which is equivalent to the well-known lemma of Klee [13]) is shown to have numerous applications in different areas of mathematics.

Switching control

Enrique Zuazua (2011)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We analyze the problem of switching controls for control systems endowed with different actuators. The goal is to control the dynamics of the system by switching from an actuator to the other in a systematic way so that, in each instant of time, only one actuator is active. We first address a finite-dimensional model and show that, under suitable rank conditions, switching control strategies exist and can be built in a systematic way. To do this we introduce a new variational principle building...
