A discrete variational principle for rate-independent evolution
We develop a global-in-time variational approach to the time-discretization of rate-independent processes. In particular, we investigate a discrete version of the variational principle based on the weighted energy-dissipation functional introduced in [MO08]. We prove the conditional convergence of time-discrete approximate minimizers to energetic solutions of the time-continuous problem. Moreov...
متن کاملGradient Flows and Rate-independent Evolutions: a Variational Approach
The course will give a brief overview of the variational theory for gradient flows and rate-independent evolutions, trying to focus on the most important aspects: variational approximations, convergence results, energy-dissipation inequalities and metric characterization for gradient flows; energetic descriptions, BV solutions and optimal jump transitions, viscous approximations in the case of ...
متن کاملError Estimates for Space-Time Discretizations of a Rate-Independent Variational Inequality
This paper deals with error estimates for space-time discretizations in the context of evolutionary variational inequalities of rate-independent type. After introducing a general abstract evolution problem, we address a fully discrete approximation and provide a priori error estimates. The application of the abstract theory to a semilinear case is detailed. In particular, we provide explicit sp...
متن کاملAffine Independent Variational Inference
We consider inference in a broad class of non-conjugate probabilistic models based on minimising the Kullback-Leibler divergence between the given target density and an approximating ‘variational’ density. In particular, for generalised linear models we describe approximating densities formed from an affine transformation of independently distributed latent variables, this class including many ...
متن کاملNew implementation of a non-associated flow rule in rate-independent plasticity
One of the new research fields in plasticity is related to choosing a proper non-associated flow rule (NAFR), instead of the associated one (AFR), to predict the experimental results more accurately. The idea of the current research is derived from combining von Mises and Tresca criteria in the places of yield and plastic potential surfaces in rate-independent plasticity. This idea is implemen...
