Solving variational inclusions by a multipoint iteration method under center-Hölder continuity conditions

Catherine Cabuzel, Alain Pietrus (2007)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We prove the existence of a sequence ( x k ) satisfying 0 f ( x k ) + i = 1 M a i f ( x k + β i ( x k + 1 - x k ) ) ( x k + 1 - x k ) + F ( x k + 1 ) , where f is a function whose second order Fréchet derivative ∇²f satifies a center-Hölder condition and F is a set-valued map from a Banach space X to the subsets of a Banach space Y. We show that the convergence of this method is superquadratic.

Some applications of optimal control theory of distributed systems

Alfredo Bermudez (2002)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

In this paper we present some applications of the J.-L. Lions’ optimal control theory to real life problems in engineering and environmental sciences. More precisely, we deal with the following three problems: sterilization of canned foods, optimal management of waste-water treatment plants and noise control

Some aspects of the variational nature of mean curvature flow

Giovanni Bellettini, Luca Mugnai (2008)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

We show that the classical solution of the heat equation can be seen as the minimizer of a suitable functional defined in space-time. Using similar ideas, we introduce a functional on the class of space-time tracks of moving hypersurfaces, and we study suitable minimization problems related with . We show some connections between minimizers of and mean curvature flow.

Some Liouville theorems for PDE problems in periodic media

Luis Caffarelli (2003)

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

Liouville problems in periodic media (i.e. the study of properties of global solutions to PDE) arise both in homogenization and dynamical systems. We discuss some recent results for minimal surfaces and free boundaries.
