On a certain type of discrete two-point boundary problem arising in discrete optimal control
The paper deals with existence and uniqueness results and with the numerical solution of the nonsmooth variational problem describing a deflection of a thin annular plate with Neumann boundary conditions. Various types of the subsoil and the obstacle which influence the plate deformation are considered. Numerical experiments compare two different algorithms.
The simultaneous and staggered procedures of solving a partitioned form of a coupled system of ordinary differential equations are presented. Formulas for errors are compared. Counter-examples for convergence with a constant number of iterations at each time step are given.
