On reduced pairs of bounded closed convex sets.

Jerzy Grzybowski, Ryszard Urbanski (2003)

Revista Matemática Complutense

In this paper certain criteria for reduced pairs of bounded closed convex set are presented. Some examples of reduced and not reduced pairs are enclosed.

On relations among the generalized second-order directional derivatives

Karel Pastor (2001)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In the paper, we deal with the relations among several generalized second-order directional derivatives. The results partially solve the problem which of the second-order optimality conditions is more useful.

On robustness of set-valued maps and marginal value functions

Armin Hoffmann, Abebe Geletu (2005)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

The ideas of robust sets, robust functions and robustness of general set-valued maps were introduced by Chew and Zheng [7,26], and further developed by Shi, Zheng, Zhuang [18,19,20], Phú, Hoffmann and Hichert [8,9,10,17] to weaken up the semi-continuity requirements of certain global optimization algorithms. The robust analysis, along with the measure theory, has well served as the basis for the integral global optimization method (IGOM) (Chew and Zheng [7]). Hence, we have attempted to extend the...

On second–order Taylor expansion of critical values

Stephan Bütikofer, Diethard Klatte, Bernd Kummer (2010)

Kybernetika

Studying a critical value function ϕ in parametric nonlinear programming, we recall conditions guaranteeing that ϕ is a C 1 , 1 function and derive second order Taylor expansion formulas including second-order terms in the form of certain generalized derivatives of D ϕ . Several specializations and applications are discussed. These results are understood as supplements to the well–developed theory of first- and second-order directional differentiability of the optimal value function in parametric optimization....

On semiconvexity properties of rotationally invariant functions in two dimensions

Miroslav Šilhavý (2004)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let f be a function defined on the set 𝐌 2 × 2 of all 2 by 2 matrices that is invariant with respect to left and right multiplications of its argument by proper orthogonal matrices. The function f can be represented as a function f ˜ of the signed singular values of its matrix argument. The paper expresses the ordinary convexity, polyconvexity, and rank 1 convexity of f in terms of its representation f ˜ .

On sets of non-differentiability of Lipschitz and convex functions

Luděk Zajíček (2007)

Mathematica Bohemica

We observe that each set from the system 𝒜 ˜ (or even 𝒞 ˜ ) is Γ -null; consequently, the version of Rademacher’s theorem (on Gâteaux differentiability of Lipschitz functions on separable Banach spaces) proved by D. Preiss and the author is stronger than that proved by D. Preiss and J. Lindenstrauss. Further, we show that the set of non-differentiability points of a convex function on n is σ -strongly lower porous. A discussion concerning sets of Fréchet non-differentiability points of continuous convex...

On Signorini problem for von Kármán equations. The case of angular domain

Jan Franců (1979)

Aplikace matematiky

The paper deals with the generalized Signorini problem. The used method of pseudomonotone semicoercive operator inequality is introduced in the paper by O. John. The existence result for smooth domains from the paper by O. John is extended to technically significant "angular" domains. The crucial point of the proof is the estimation of the nonlinear term which appears in the operator form of the problem. The substantial technical difficulties connected with non-smoothness of the boundary are overcome...

On solution to an optimal shape design problem in 3-dimensional linear magnetostatics

Dalibor Lukáš (2004)

Applications of Mathematics

In this paper we present theoretical, computational, and practical aspects concerning 3-dimensional shape optimization governed by linear magnetostatics. The state solution is approximated by the finite element method using Nédélec elements on tetrahedra. Concerning optimization, the shape controls the interface between the air and the ferromagnetic parts while the whole domain is fixed. We prove the existence of an optimal shape. Then we state a finite element approximation to the optimization...

On some general almost periodic optimal control problems : links with periodic problems and necessary conditions

Denis Pennequin (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper, we are concerned with periodic, quasi-periodic (q.p.) and almost periodic (a.p.) Optimal Control problems. After defining these problems and setting them in an abstract setting by using Abstract Harmonic Analysis, we give some structure results of the set of solutions, and study the relations between periodic and a.p. problems. We prove for instance that for an autonomous concave problem, the a.p. problem has a solution if and only if all problems (periodic with fixed or variable...
