On the Convergence of the Approximate Free Boundary for the Parabolic Obstacle Problem

Paola Pietra, Claudio Verdi (1985)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

Si discretizza il problema dell'ostacolo parabolico con differenze all'indietro nel tempo ed elementi finiti lineari nello spazio e si dimostrano stime dell'errore per la frontiera libera discreta.

On the double critical-state model for type-II superconductivity in 3D

Yohei Kashima (2008)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

In this paper we mathematically analyse an evolution variational inequality which formulates the double critical-state model for type-II superconductivity in 3D space and propose a finite element method to discretize the formulation. The double critical-state model originally proposed by Clem and Perez-Gonzalez is formulated as a model in 3D space which characterizes the nonlinear relation between the electric field, the electric current, the perpendicular component of the electric current...

On the equivalence of variational problems. II

Jan Chrastina (1993)

Archivum Mathematicum

Elements of general theory of infinitely prolonged underdetermined systems of ordinary differential equations are outlined and applied to the equivalence of one-dimensional constrained variational integrals. The relevant infinite-dimensional variant of Cartan’s moving frame method expressed in quite elementary terms proves to be surprisingly efficient in solution of particular equivalence problems, however, most of the principal questions of the general theory remains unanswered. New concepts of...

On the existence of optimal controls for nonlinear infinite dimensional systems

Antonella Fiacca, Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou, Francesca Papalini (1998)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We consider nonlinear systems with a priori feedback. We establish the existence of admissible pairs and then we show that the Lagrange optimal control problem admits an optimal pair. As application we work out in detail two examples of optimal control problems for nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations.

On the Existence of Optimal Solutions for Infinite Horizon Optimal Control Problems: Nonconvex and Multicriteria Problems

Dean A. Carlson (1984)

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti Lincei. Matematica e Applicazioni

In questa Nota si continua la discussione iniziata in [4] dell'esistenza di soluzioni ottimali per problemi di ottimo controllo in [ 0 + ] . Si definiscono problemi generalizzati, e si ottengono estensioni di risultati già presentati in [4]. Si dimostrano anche varie relazioni tra le soluzioni ottimali dei problemi generalizzati e i problemi originali e non convessi di ottimo controllo. Alla fine si considerano problemi lineari nelle variabili di stato anche nel caso di costi funzionali a valori vettoriali...

On the existence of viable solutions for a class of second order differential inclusions

Aurelian Cernea (2002)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

We prove the existence of viable solutions to the Cauchy problem x” ∈ F(x,x’), x(0) = x₀, x’(0) = y₀, where F is a set-valued map defined on a locally compact set M R 2 n , contained in the Fréchet subdifferential of a ϕ-convex function of order two.
