Locally Lipschitz vector optimization with inequality and equality constraints

Ivan Ginchev, Angelo Guerraggio, Matteo Rocca (2010)

Applications of Mathematics

The present paper studies the following constrained vector optimization problem: min C f ( x ) , g ( x ) - K , h ( x ) = 0 , where f : n m , g : n p are locally Lipschitz functions, h : n q is C 1 function, and C m and K p are closed convex cones. Two types of solutions are important for the consideration, namely w -minimizers (weakly efficient points) and i -minimizers (isolated minimizers of order 1). In terms of the Dini directional derivative first-order necessary conditions for a point x 0 to be a w -minimizer and first-order sufficient conditions for x 0 ...

Mathematical and numerical analysis of an alternative well-posed two-layer turbulence model

Bijan Mohammadi, Guillaume Puigt (2001)

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

In this article, we wish to investigate the behavior of a two-layer k - ε turbulence model from the mathematical point of view, as this model is useful for the near-wall treatment in numerical simulations. First, we explain the difficulties inherent in the model. Then, we present a new variable θ that enables the mathematical study. Due to a problem of definition of the turbulent viscosity on the wall boundary, we consider an alternative version of the original equation. We show that some physical aspects...

Minimizing the fuel consumption of a vehicle from the Shell Eco-marathon: a numerical study

Sophie Jan (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We apply four different methods to study an intrinsically bang-bang optimal control problem. We study first a relaxed problem that we solve with a naive nonlinear programming approach. Since these preliminary results reveal singular arcs, we then use Pontryagin’s Minimum Principle and apply multiple indirect shooting methods combined with homotopy approach to obtain an accurate solution of the relaxed problem. Finally, in order to recover a purely bang-bang solution for the original problem, we...
