Error estimates for the finite element solutions of variational inequalities
The goal of this paper is to derive some error estimates for the numerical discretization of some optimal control problems governed by semilinear elliptic equations with bound constraints on the control and a finitely number of equality and inequality state constraints. We prove some error estimates for the optimal controls in the norm and we also obtain error estimates for the Lagrange multipliers associated to the state constraints as well as for the optimal states and optimal adjoint states....

We prove Lipschitz continuity for local minimizers of integral functionals of the Calculus of Variations in the vectorial case, where the energy density depends explicitly on the space variables and has general growth with respect to the gradient. One of the models iswith a convex function with general growth (also exponential behaviour is allowed).

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...
In this paper we study evolution inclusions generated by time dependent convex subdifferentials, with the orientor field depending on a parameter. Under reasonable hypotheses on the data, we show that the solution set is both Vietoris and Hausdorff metric continuous in . Using these results, we study the variational stability of a class of nonlinear parabolic optimal control problems.
The paper presents the Monotone Structural Evolution, a direct computational method of optimal control. Its distinctive feature is that the decision space undergoes gradual evolution in the course of optimization, with changing the control parameterization and the number of decision variables. These structural changes are based on an analysis of discrepancy between the current approximation of an optimal solution and the Maximum Principle conditions. Two particular implementations, with spike and...
Rate-independent problems are considered, where the stored energy density is a function of the gradient. The stored energy density may not be quasiconvex and is assumed to grow linearly. Moreover, arbitrary behaviour at infinity is allowed. In particular, the stored energy density is not required to coincide at infinity with a positively 1-homogeneous function. The existence of a rate-independent process is shown in the so-called energetic formulation.
An abstract theory of evolutionary variational inequalities and its applications to the traction boundary value problems of elastoplasticity are studied, using the penalty method to prove the existence of a solution.
