On a Two-point Boundary Value Problem for Second-order Differential Inclusions on Riemannian Manifolds
We consider second-order differential inclusions on a Riemannian manifold with lower semicontinuous right-hand sides. Several existence theorems for solutions of two-point boundary value problem are proved to be interpreted as controllability of special mechanical systems with control on nonlinear configuration spaces. As an application, a statement of controllability under extreme values of co...
متن کاملNonlinear second-order dynamical systems on Riemannian manifolds: Damped oscillators
Linear as well as non-linear mathematical systems that exhibit an oscillatory behavior are ubiquitous in sciences and engineering. Such mathematical systems have been used to model the behavior of biological structures, such as the pulsating contraction of cardiac cells, as well as the behavior of electrical and mechanical components. Chaotic oscillators are currently being used in the secure t...
متن کاملA Second Order Smooth Variational Principle on Riemannian Manifolds
We establish a second order smooth variational principle valid for functions defined on (possibly infinite-dimensional) Riemannian manifolds which are uniformly locally convex and have a strictly positive injectivity radius and bounded sectional curvature.
متن کاملViscosity Solutions to Second Order Partial Differential Equations on Riemannian Manifolds
We prove comparison, uniqueness and existence results for viscosity solutions to a wide class of fully nonlinear second order partial differential equations F (x, u, du, du) = 0 defined on a finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold M . Finest results (with hypothesis that require the function F to be degenerate elliptic, that is nonincreasing in the second order derivative variable, and uniformly...

We prove comparison, uniqueness and existence results for viscosity solutions to a wide class of fully nonlinear second order partial differential equations F (x, u(x), du(x), du(x)) = 0 defined on a finite-dimensional Riemannian manifold M . Finest results (with hypothesis that require the function F to be degenerate elliptic, that is nonincreasing in the second order derivative variable) are ...
