Optimal Design under the One-dimensional Wave Equation
An optimal design problem governed by the wave equation is examined in detail. Specifically, we seek the time-dependent optimal layout of two isotropic materials on a 1-d domain by minimizing a functional depending quadratically on the gradient of the state with coefficients that may depend on space, time and design. As it is typical in this kind of problems, they are ill-posed in the sense tha...
متن کاملNumerical Approximation of a One-Dimensional Elliptic Optimal Design Problem
We address the numerical approximation by finite element methods of an optimal design problem for a two phase material in one space dimension. This problem, in the continuous setting, due to high frequency oscillations, often has not a classical solution and a relaxed formulation is needed to ensure existence. By the contrary, the discrete versions obtained by numerical approximation have a sol...
متن کاملBoundary layer variational principles: a case study.
Considering the model heat conduction problem in the setting of Grad's moment equations, we demonstrate a crossover in the structure of minima of the entropy production within the boundary layer. Based on this observation, we formulate and compare variation principles for solving the problem of boundary conditions in nonequilibrium thermodynamics.
متن کاملOne-dimensional mechanism design
We prove a general possibility result for collective decision problems where individual allocations are one-dimensional, preferences are single-peaked (strictly convex), and feasible allocation profiles cover a closed convex set. Special cases include the celebrated median voter theorem ([10], [21]) and the division of a non disposable commodity by the uniform rationing rule ([47]). We construc...
متن کاملOn the One-Dimensional Optimal Switching Problem
We characterize the optimal switching problem as coupled optimal stoping problems. We then use the optimal stopping theory to provide a solution. As opposed to the methods using quasi-variational inequalities and verification theorem we directly work with the value function.
