On some Optimization Problems in Not Necessarily Locally Convex Space
The purpose of this paper is to make a brief review of results obtained in the theory of variational inequalities for nonclassical operators, namely, of degenerate hyperbolic and variable type.
Let be the collection of all -optimal solutions for a stochastic process with locally bounded trajectories defined on a topological space. For sequences of such stochastic processes and of nonnegative random variables we give sufficient conditions for the (closed) random sets to converge in distribution with respect to the Fell-topology and to the coarser Missing-topology.
This paper is a proceedings version of the ongoing work [20], and has been the object of the talk of the second author at Journées EDP in 2012.In this work we investigate optimal observability properties for wave and Schrödinger equations considered in a bounded open set , with Dirichlet boundary conditions. The observation is done on a subset of Lebesgue measure , where is fixed. We denote by the class of all possible such subsets. Let . We consider first the benchmark problem of maximizing...
We consider a multi-polaron model obtained by coupling the many-body Schrödinger equation for N interacting electrons with the energy functional of a mean-field crystal with a localized defect, obtaining a highly non linear many-body problem. The physical picture is that the electrons constitute a charge defect in an otherwise perfect periodic crystal. A remarkable feature of such a system is the possibility to form a bound state of electrons via their interaction with the polarizable background....
We study the functional , where u=(u₁, ..., uₘ) and each is constant along some subspace of ℝⁿ. We show that if intersections of the ’s satisfy a certain condition then is weakly lower semicontinuous if and only if f is Λ-convex (see Definition 1.1 and Theorem 1.1). We also give a necessary and sufficient condition on to have the equivalence: is weakly continuous if and only if f is Λ-affine.
In this paper we establish a continuity result for local minimizers of some quasilinear functionals that satisfy degenerate elliptic bounds. The non-negative function which measures the degree of degeneracy is assumed to be exponentially integrable. The minimizers are shown to have a modulus of continuity controlled by . Our proof adapts ideas developed for solutions of degenerate elliptic equations by J. Onninen, X. Zhong: Continuity of solutions of linear, degenerate elliptic equations, Ann....
