The blocking of an inhomogeneous Bingham fluid. Applications to landslides

Patrick Hild, Ioan R. Ionescu, Thomas Lachand-Robert, Ioan Roşca (2002)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis - Modélisation Mathématique et Analyse Numérique

This work is concerned with the flow of a viscous plastic fluid. We choose a model of Bingham type taking into account inhomogeneous yield limit of the fluid, which is well-adapted in the description of landslides. After setting the general threedimensional problem, the blocking property is introduced. We then focus on necessary and sufficient conditions such that blocking of the fluid occurs. The anti-plane flow in twodimensional and onedimensional cases is considered. A variational formulation...

The cancellation law for inf-convolution of convex functions

Dariusz Zagrodny (1994)

Studia Mathematica

Conditions under which the inf-convolution of f and g f g ( x ) : = i n f y + z = x ( f ( y ) + g ( z ) ) has the cancellation property (i.e. f □ h ≡ g □ h implies f ≡ g) are treated in a convex analysis framework. In particular, we show that the set of strictly convex lower semicontinuous functions f : X + on a reflexive Banach space such that l i m x f ( x ) / x = constitutes a semigroup, with inf-convolution as multiplication, which can be embedded in the group of its quotients.

The concentration-compactness principle in the calculus of variations. The limit case, Part II.

Pierre-Louis Lions (1985)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

This paper is the second part of a work devoted to the study of variational problems (with constraints) in functional spaces defined on domains presenting some (local) form of invariance by a non-compact group of transformations like the dilations in RN. This contains for example the class of problems associated with the determination of extremal functions in inequalities like Sobolev inequalities, convolution or trace inequalities... We show how the concentration-compactness principle and method...

The concentration-compactness principle in the calculus of variations. The limit case, Part I.

Pierre-Louis Lions (1985)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

After the study made in the locally compact case for variational problems with some translation invariance, we investigate here the variational problems (with constraints) for example in RN where the invariance of RN by the group of dilatations creates some possible loss of compactness. This is for example the case for all the problems associated with the determination of extremal functions in functional inequalities (like for example the Sobolev inequalities). We show here how the concentration-compactness...

The distance between subdifferentials in the terms of functions

Libor Veselý (1993)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

For convex continuous functions f , g defined respectively in neighborhoods of points x , y in a normed linear space, a formula for the distance between f ( x ) and g ( y ) in terms of f , g (i.eẇithout using the dual) is proved. Some corollaries, like a new characterization of the subdifferential of a continuous convex function at a point, are given. This, together with a theorem from [4], implies a sufficient condition for a family of continuous convex functions on a barrelled normed linear space to be locally uniformly...

The dual form of Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz principle in hyperconvex metric spaces and some applications

George Isac, George Xian-Zhi Yuan (1999)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

In this paper, we first establish the dual form of Knaster- Kuratowski-Mazurkiewicz principle which is a hyperconvex version of corresponding result due to Shih. Then Ky Fan type matching theorems for finitely closed and open covers are given. As applications, we establish some intersection theorems which are hyperconvex versions of corresponding results due to Alexandroff and Pasynkoff, Fan, Klee, Horvath and Lassonde. Then Ky Fan type best approximation theorem and Schauder-Tychonoff fixed point...

The Euler-Lagrange inclusion in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces

Hôǹg Thái Nguyêñ, Dariusz Pączka (2014)

Banach Center Publications

We establish the Euler-Lagrange inclusion of a nonsmooth integral functional defined on Orlicz-Sobolev spaces. This result is achieved through variational techniques in nonsmooth analysis and an integral representation formula for the Clarke generalized gradient of locally Lipschitz integral functionals defined on Orlicz spaces.
