Optimal control of variational inequality with applications to axisymmetric shells

Ján Lovíšek (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

The optimal control problem of variational inequality with applications to axisymmetric shells is discussed. First an existence result for the solution of the optimal control problem is given. Next is presented the formulation of first order necessary conditionas of optimality for the control problem governed by a variational inequality with its coefficients as control variables.

Optimal control problems on parallelizable riemannian manifolds : theory and applications

Ram V. Iyer, Raymond Holsapple, David Doman (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

The motivation for this work is the real-time solution of a standard optimal control problem arising in robotics and aerospace applications. For example, the trajectory planning problem for air vehicles is naturally cast as an optimal control problem on the tangent bundle of the Lie Group S E ( 3 ) , which is also a parallelizable riemannian manifold. For an optimal control problem on the tangent bundle of such a manifold, we use frame co-ordinates and obtain first-order necessary conditions employing calculus...

Order reduction of the Euler-Lagrange equations of higher order invariant variational problems on frame bundles

Ján Brajerčík (2011)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

Let μ : F X X be a principal bundle of frames with the structure group Gl n ( ) . It is shown that the variational problem, defined by Gl n ( ) -invariant Lagrangian on J r F X , can be equivalently studied on the associated space of connections with some compatibility condition, which gives us order reduction of the corresponding Euler-Lagrange equations.

p -minimising tangent maps and harmonic k -forms

Stefano Montaldo (1999)

Bollettino dell'Unione Matematica Italiana

Si studiano le applicazioni p -tangenti da R m a S n date come estensioni omogenee di k -forme armoniche. Vengono ricavate condizioni necessarie sul grado k affinche tali applicazioni p -tangenti siano di energia minima. Una classificazione completa viene data nel caso in cui tali applicazioni tangenti di energia minima vadano da R 8 su S 4 .

Path functionals over Wasserstein spaces

Alessio Brancolini, Giuseppe Buttazzo, Filippo Santambrogio (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Given a metric space X we consider a general class of functionals which measure the cost of a path in X joining two given points x 0 and x 1 , providing abstract existence results for optimal paths. The results are then applied to the case when X is aWasserstein space of probabilities on a given set Ω and the cost of a path depends on the value of classical functionals over measures. Conditions for linking arbitrary extremal measures μ 0 and μ 1 by means of finite cost paths are given.

Periodic solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations. Application to charged particle beam focusing systems

Mihai Bostan, Eric Sonnendrücker (2006)

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

We study the existence of spatial periodic solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations - Δ u + g ( x , u ( x ) ) = 0 , x N where g is a continuous function, nondecreasing w.r.t. u . We give necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions. Some cases with nonincreasing functions g are investigated as well. As an application we analyze the mathematical model of electron beam focusing system and we prove the existence of positive periodic solutions for the envelope equation. We present also numerical simulations....
