Periodic stabilization for linear time-periodic ordinary differential equations

Gengsheng Wang, Yashan Xu (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper studies the periodic feedback stabilization of the controlled linear time-periodic ordinary differential equation: ẏ(t) = A(t)y(t) + B(t)u(t), t ≥ 0, where [A(·), B(·)] is a T-periodic pair, i.e., A(·) ∈ L∞(ℝ+; ℝn×n) and B(·) ∈ L∞(ℝ+; ℝn×m) satisfy respectively A(t + T) = A(t) for a.e. t ≥ 0 and B(t + T) = B(t) for a.e. t ≥ 0. Two periodic stablization criteria for a T-period pair [A(·), B(·)] are established. One is an analytic criterion which is related to the transformation over time...

Pointwise constrained radially increasing minimizers in the quasi-scalar calculus of variations

Luís Balsa Bicho, António Ornelas (2014)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We prove uniformcontinuity of radiallysymmetric vector minimizers uA(x) = UA(|x|) to multiple integrals ∫BRL**(u(x), |Du(x)|) dx on a ballBR ⊂ ℝd, among the Sobolev functions u(·) in A+W01,1 (BR, ℝm), using a jointlyconvexlscL∗∗ : ℝm×ℝ → [0,∞] with L∗∗(S,·) even and superlinear. Besides such basic hypotheses, L∗∗(·,·) is assumed to satisfy also a geometrical constraint, which we call quasi − scalar; the simplest example being the biradial case L∗∗(|u(x)|,|Du(x)|). Complete liberty is given for L∗∗(S,λ)...

P-order necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality in singular calculus of variations

Agnieszka Prusińska, Alexey Tret'yakov (2010)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

This paper is devoted to singular calculus of variations problems with constraint functional not regular at the solution point in the sense that the first derivative is not surjective. In the first part of the paper we pursue an approach based on the constructions of the p-regularity theory. For p-regular calculus of variations problem we formulate and prove necessary and sufficient conditions for optimality in singular case and illustrate our results by classical example of calculus of variations...

Pricing rules under asymmetric information

Shigeyoshi Ogawa, Monique Pontier (2007)

ESAIM: Probability and Statistics

We consider an extension of the Kyle and Back's model [Back, Rev. Finance Stud.5 (1992) 387–409; Kyle, Econometrica35 (1985) 1315–1335], meaning a model for the market with a continuous time risky asset and asymmetrical information. There are three financial agents: the market maker, an insider trader (who knows a random variable V which will be revealed at final time) and a non informed agent. Here we assume that the non informed agent is strategic, namely he/she uses a utility function to...

Problemi di regolarità per un nuovo tipo di funzionale del calcolo delle variazioni

Ennio De Giorgi, Giuseppe Congedo, Italo Tamanini (1988)

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

Si considerano questioni riguardanti la regolarità delle soluzioni di problemi di minimo di funzionali che coinvolgono sia termini di volume che di superficie. Si danno indicazioni sui risultati attesi in alcuni casi di notevole interesse, collegati a problemi di segmentazione di immagini e alla teoria dei cristalli liquidi.

Quadratic functionals: positivity, oscillation, Rayleigh's principle

Werner Kratz (1998)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we give a survey on the theory of quadratic functionals. Particularly the relationships between positive definiteness and the asymptotic behaviour of Riccati matrix differential equations, and between the oscillation properties of linear Hamiltonian systems and Rayleigh’s principle are demonstrated. Moreover, the main tools form control theory (as e.g. characterization of strong observability), from the calculus of variations (as e.g. field theory and Picone’s identity), and from matrix...
