Attractors for gradient flows of non convex functionals and applications
This paper addresses the long-time behaviour of gradient flows of non convex functionals in Hilbert spaces. Exploiting the notion of generalized semiflows by J. M. Ball, we provide some sufficient conditions for the existence of a global attractor. The abstract results are applied to various classes of non convex evolution problems. In particular, we discuss the longtime behaviour of solutions ...
متن کاملWeighted Energy-dissipation Functionals for Gradient Flows
We investigate a global-in-time variational approach to abstract evolution by means of the weighted energy-dissipation functionals proposed by Mielke & Ortiz [MO08]. In particular, we focus on gradient flows in Hilbert spaces. The main result is the convergence of minimizers and approximate minimizers of these functionals to the unique solution of the gradient flow. Sharp convergence rates are ...
متن کاملMinimization of Non-smooth, Non-convex Functionals by Iterative Thresholding
Numerical algorithms for a special class of non-smooth and non-convex minimization problems in infinite dimensional Hilbert spaces are considered. The functionals under consideration are the sum of a smooth and non-smooth functional, both possibly non-convex. We propose a generalization of the gradient projection method and analyze its convergence properties. For separable constraints in the se...
متن کاملA Variational Principle for Gradient Flows of Nonconvex Energies
We present a variational approach to gradient flows of energies of the form E = φ1−φ2 where φ1, φ2 are convex functionals on a Hilbert space. A global parameter-dependent functional over trajectories is proved to admit minimizers. These minimizers converge up to subsequences to gradient-flow trajectories as the parameter tends to zero. These results apply in particular to the case of non λ-conv...
متن کاملNumerical optimization for the calculus of variations by gradients on non-Hilbert Sobolev spaces using conjugate gradients and normalized differential equations of steepest descent
The purpose of this paper is to illustrate the application of numerical optimizationmethods for nonquadratic functionals defined on non-Hilbert Sobolev spaces. These methods use a gradient defined on a norm-reflexive and hence strictly convex normed linear space. This gradient is defined by Michael Golomb and Richard A. Tapia in [M. Golomb, R.A. Tapia, Themetric gradient in normed linear spaces...
