Semi–smooth Newton methods for variational inequalities of the first kind

Kazufumi Ito, Karl Kunisch (2003)

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

Semi–smooth Newton methods are analyzed for a class of variational inequalities in infinite dimensions. It is shown that they are equivalent to certain active set strategies. Global and local super-linear convergence are proved. To overcome the phenomenon of finite speed of propagation of discretized problems a penalty version is used as the basis for a continuation procedure to speed up convergence. The choice of the penalty parameter can be made on the basis of an L ∞ estimate for the penalized...

Sensor Location Problem for a Multigraph

Pilipchuk, L. A., Vishnevetskaya, T. S., Pesheva, Y. H. (2013)

Mathematica Balkanica New Series

MSC 2010: 05C50, 15A03, 15A06, 65K05, 90C08, 90C35We introduce sparse linear underdetermined systems with embedded network structure. Their structure is inherited from the non-homogeneous network ow programming problems with nodes of variable intensities. One of the new applications of the researched underdetermined systems is the sensor location problem (SLP) for a multigraph. That is the location of the minimum number of sensors in the nodes of the multigraph, in order to determine the arcs ow...

Shape optimization by means of the penalty method with extrapolation

Ivan Hlaváček (1994)

Applications of Mathematics

A model shape optimal design in ℝ 2 is solved by means of the penalty method with extrapolation, which enables to obtain high order approximations of both the state function and the boundary flux, thus offering a reliable gradient for the sensitivity analysis. Convergence of the proposed method is proved for certain subsequences of approximate solutions.

Shape optimization of an elasto-perfectly plastic body

Ivan Hlaváček (1987)

Aplikace matematiky

Within the range of Prandtl-Reuss model of elasto-plasticity the following optimal design problem is solved. Given body forces and surface tractions, a part of the boundary, where the (two-dimensional) body is fixed, is to be found, so as to minimize an integral of the squared yield function. The state problem is formulated in terms of stresses by means of a time-dependent variational inequality. For approximate solutions piecewise linear approximations of the unknown boundary, piecewise constant...

Shape optimization of an elasto-plastic body for the model with strain- hardening

Vladislav Pištora (1990)

Aplikace matematiky

The state problem of elasto-plasticity (for the model with strain-hardening) is formulated in terms of stresses and hardening parameters by means of a time-dependent variational inequality. The optimal design problem is to find the shape of a part of the boundary such that a given cost functional is minimized. For the approximate solutions piecewise linear approximations of the unknown boundary, piecewise constant triangular elements for the stress and the hardening parameter, and backward differences...

Shape optimization of elasto-plastic axisymmetric bodies

Ivan Hlaváček (1991)

Applications of Mathematics

A minimization of a cost functional with respect to a part of a boundary is considered for an elasto-plastic axisymmetric body obeying Hencky's law. The principle of Haar-Kármán and piecewise linear stress approximations are used to solve the state problem. A convergence result and the existence of an optimal boundary is proved.

Shape optimization of elastoplastic bodies obeying Hencky's law

Ivan Hlaváček (1986)

Aplikace matematiky

A minimization of a cost functional with respect to a part of the boundary, where the body is fixed, is considered. The criterion is defined by an integral of a yield function. The principle of Haar-Kármán and piecewise constant stress approximations are used to solve the state problem. A convergence result and the existence of an optimal boundary is proved.

Sharp upper global a posteriori error estimates for nonlinear elliptic variational problems

János Karátson, Sergey Korotov (2009)

Applications of Mathematics

The paper is devoted to the problem of verification of accuracy of approximate solutions obtained in computer simulations. This problem is strongly related to a posteriori error estimates, giving computable bounds for computational errors and detecting zones in the solution domain where such errors are too large and certain mesh refinements should be performed. A mathematical model embracing nonlinear elliptic variational problems is considered in this work. Based on functional type estimates developed...

Smoothing functions and algorithm for nonsymmetric circular cone complementarity problems

Jingyong Tang, Yuefen Chen (2022)

Applications of Mathematics

There has been much interest in studying symmetric cone complementarity problems. In this paper, we study the circular cone complementarity problem (denoted by CCCP) which is a type of nonsymmetric cone complementarity problem. We first construct two smoothing functions for the CCCP and show that they are all coercive and strong semismooth. Then we propose a smoothing algorithm to solve the CCCP. The proposed algorithm generates an infinite sequence such that the value of the merit function converges...

Solution for a classical problem in the calculus of variations via rationalized Haar functions

Mohsen Razzaghi, Yadollah Ordokhani (2001)

Kybernetika

A numerical technique for solving the classical brachistochrone problem in the calculus of variations is presented. The brachistochrone problem is first formulated as a nonlinear optimal control problem. Application of this method results in the transformation of differential and integral expressions into some algebraic equations to which Newton-type methods can be applied. The method is general, and yields accurate results.

Solution of 3D contact shape optimization problems with Coulomb friction based on TFETI

Alexandros Markopoulos, Petr Beremlijski, Oldřich Vlach, Marie Sadowská (2023)

Applications of Mathematics

The present paper deals with the numerical solution of 3D shape optimization problems in frictional contact mechanics. Mathematical modelling of the Coulomb friction problem leads to an implicit variational inequality which can be written as a fixed point problem. Furthermore, it is known that the discretized problem is uniquely solvable for small coefficients of friction. Since the considered problem is nonsmooth, we exploit the generalized Mordukhovich’s differential calculus to compute the needed...
