A bifurcation result for equations with anisotropic -Laplace-like operators.
We describe a new link between Perelman’s monotonicity formula for the reduced volume and ideas from optimal transport theory.
Motivated by the pricing of American options for baskets we consider a parabolic variational inequality in a bounded polyhedral domain with a continuous piecewise smooth obstacle. We formulate a fully discrete method by using piecewise linear finite elements in space and the backward Euler method in time. We define an a posteriori error estimator and show that it gives an upper bound for the error in L2(0,T;H1(Ω)). The error estimator is localized in the sense that the size of the elliptic residual...
It is shown that the uniform exponential stability and the uniform stability at permanently acting disturbances of a sufficiently smooth but not necessarily steady-state solution of a general variational inequality is a consequence of the uniform exponential stability of a zero solution of another (so called linearized) variational inequality.
It is known that the vector stop operator with a convex closed characteristic of class is locally Lipschitz continuous in the space of absolutely continuous functions if the unit outward normal mapping is Lipschitz continuous on the boundary of . We prove that in the regular case, this condition is also necessary.
