Minimal invasion: An optimal L∞ state constraint problem
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
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.

Minimax optimal control problems. Numerical analysis of the finite horizon case
In this paper we consider the numerical computation of the optimal cost function associated to the problem that consists in finding the minimum of the maximum of a scalar functional on a trajectory. We present an approximation method for the numerical solution which employs both discretization on time and on spatial variables. In this way, we obtain a fully discrete problem that has unique solution. We give an optimal estimate for the error between the approximated solution and the optimal cost function...

Minimax theorems with applications to convex metric spaces
A minimax theorem is proved which contains a recent result of Pinelis and a version of the classical minimax theorem of Ky Fan as special cases. Some applications to the theory of convex metric spaces (farthest points, rendez-vous value) are presented.
Minimax theorems without changeless proportion
The so-called minimax theorem means that if X and Y are two sets, and f and g are two real-valued functions defined on X×Y, then under some conditions the following inequality holds: . We will extend the two functions version of minimax theorems without the usual condition: f ≤ g. We replace it by a milder condition: , ∀y ∈ Y. However, we require some restrictions; such as, the functions f and g are jointly upward, and their upper sets are connected. On the other hand, by using some properties...

Minimization of functional with integrand expressed as minimum of quasiconvex functions - general and special cases
We present Z. Naniewicz method of optimization a coercive integral functional 𝒥 with integrand being a minimum of quasiconvex functions. This method is applied to the minimization of functional with integrand expressed as a minimum of two quadratic functions. This is done by approximating the original nonconvex problem by appropriate convex ones.
