Méthodes géométriques et analytiques pour étudier l'application exponentielle, la sphère et le front d'onde en géométrie sous-riemannienne dans le cas Martinet

Bernard Bonnard, Monique Chyba (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

Consider a sub-riemannian geometry(U,D,g) where U is a neighborhood of 0 in R3, D is a Martinet type distribution identified to ker ω, ω being the 1-form: ω = d z - y 2 2 d x , q=(x,y,z) and g is a metric on D which can be taken in the normal form: g = a ( q ) d x 2 + c ( q ) d y 2 , a=1+yF(q), c=1+G(q), G | x = y = 0 = 0 . In a previous article we analyze the flat case: a=c=1; we describe the conjugate and cut loci, the sphere and the wave front. The objectif of this article is to provide a geometric and computational framework to analyze the general case....

Metric subregularity for nonclosed convex multifunctions in normed spaces

Xi Yin Zheng, Kung Fu Ng (2010)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In terms of the normal cone and the coderivative, we provide some necessary and/or sufficient conditions of metric subregularity for (not necessarily closed) convex multifunctions in normed spaces. As applications, we present some error bound results for (not necessarily lower semicontinuous) convex functions on normed spaces. These results improve and extend some existing error bound results.

Metric subregularity of order q and the solving of inclusions

Michaël Gaydu, Michel Geoffroy, Célia Jean-Alexis (2011)

Open Mathematics

We consider some metric regularity properties of order q for set-valued mappings and we establish several characterizations of these concepts in terms of Hölder-like properties of the inverses of the mappings considered. In addition, we show that even if these properties are weaker than the classical notions of regularity for set-valued maps, they allow us to solve variational inclusions under mild assumptions.

Michael's theorem for Lipschitz cells in o-minimal structures

Małgorzata Czapla, Wiesław Pawłucki (2016)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

A version of Michael's theorem for multivalued mappings definable in o-minimal structures with M-Lipschitz cell values (M a common constant) is proven. Uniform equi-LCⁿ property for such families of cells is checked. An example is given showing that the assumption about the common Lipschitz constant cannot be omitted.

Minimal invasion: An optimal L∞ state constraint problem

Christian Clason, Kazufumi Ito, Karl Kunisch (2011)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

In this work, the least pointwise upper and/or lower bounds on the state variable on a specified subdomain of a control system under piecewise constant control action are sought. This results in a non-smooth optimization problem in function spaces. Introducing a Moreau-Yosida regularization of the state constraints, the problem can be solved using a superlinearly convergent semi-smooth Newton method. Optimality conditions are derived, convergence of the Moreau-Yosida regularization is proved, and...

Minimax control of nonlinear evolution equations

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we study the minimax control of systems governed by a nonlinear evolution inclusion of the subdifferential type. Using some continuity and lower semicontinuity results for the solution map and the cost functional respectively, we are able to establish the existence of an optimal control. The abstract results are then applied to obstacle problems, semilinear systems with weakly varying coefficients (e.gȯscillating coefficients) and differential variational inequalities.
