Weighted energy-dissipation functionals for gradient flows
We investigate a global-in-time variational approach to abstract evolution by means of the weighted energy-dissipation functionals proposed by Mielke and Ortiz [ESAIM: COCV14 (2008) 494–516]. In particular, we focus on gradient flows in Hilbert spaces. The main result is the convergence of minimizers and approximate minimizers of these functionals to the unique solution of the gradient flow. Sharp convergence rates are provided and the convergence analysis is combined with time-discretization....

Well-posedness and sliding mode control
Sliding mode control of ordinary differential equations is considered. A key robustness property, called approximability, is studied from an optimization point of view. It is proved that Tikhonov well-posedness of a suitably defined optimization problem is intimately related to approximability. Making use of this link, new approximability criteria are obtained for nonlinear sliding mode control systems.
