Design-dependent loads in topology optimization

Blaise Bourdin, Antonin Chambolle (2003)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We present, analyze, and implement a new method for the design of the stiffest structure subject to a pressure load or a given field of internal forces. Our structure is represented as a subset S of a reference domain, and the complement of S is made of two other “phases”, the “void” and a fictitious “liquid” that exerts a pressure force on its interface with the solid structure. The problem we consider is to minimize the compliance of the structure S , which is the total work of the pressure and...

DiPerna-Majda measures and uniform integrability

Martin Kružík (1998)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

The purpose of this note is to discuss the relationship among Rosenthal's modulus of uniform integrability, Young measures and DiPerna-Majda measures. In particular, we give an explicit characterization of this modulus and state a criterion of the uniform integrability in terms of these measures. Further, we show applications to Fatou's lemma.

Discrete approximation of the Mumford-Shah functional in dimension two

Antonin Chambolle, Gianni Dal Maso (2010)

ESAIM: Mathematical Modelling and Numerical Analysis

The Mumford-Shah functional, introduced to study image segmentation problems, is approximated in the sense of vergence by a sequence of integral functionals defined on piecewise affine functions.

Discrete thickness

Sebastian Scholtes (2014)

Molecular Based Mathematical Biology

We investigate the relationship between a discrete version of thickness and its smooth counterpart. These discrete energies are deffned on equilateral polygons with n vertices. It will turn out that the smooth ropelength, which is the scale invariant quotient of length divided by thickness, is the Γ-limit of the discrete ropelength for n → ∞, regarding the topology induced by the Sobolev norm ‖ · ‖ W1,∞(S1,ℝd). This result directly implies the convergence of almost minimizers of the discrete energies...
