Dirichlet boundary value correction using Lagrange multipliers

Multilevel preconditioning - Appending boundary conditions by Lagrange multipliers

For saddle point problems stemming from appending essential boundary conditions in connection with Galerkin methods for elliptic boundary value problems, a class of multilevel preconditioners is developed. The estimates are based on the characterization of Sobolev spaces on the underlying domain and its boundary in terms of weighted sequence norms relative to corresponding multilevel expansions...

Substructuring by Lagrange Multipliers

Lagrange Multipliers and Optimality

Lagrange multipliers used to be viewed as auxiliary variables introduced in a problem of constrained minimization in order to write first-order optimality conditions formally as a system of equations. Modern applications, with their emphasis on numerical methods and more complicated side conditions than equations, have demanded deeper understanding of the concept and how it fits into a larger t...

Optional decomposition and Lagrange multipliers

Let Q be the set of equivalent martingale measures for a given process S, and let X be a process which is a local supermartingale with respect to any measure in Q. The optional decomposition theorem for X states that there exists a predictable integrand φ such that the difference X−φ ·S is a decreasing process. In this paper we give a new proof which uses techniques from stochastic calculus rat...
