چکیده

We prove the existence of minimizers for functionals defined over the class of convex domains contained inside a bounded set D of R and with prescribed volume. Some applications are given, in particular we prove that the eigenvalues of differential operators of second and fourth order with non-constant coefficients as well as integral functionals depending on the solution of an elliptic equation can be minimized over this class of domains. Another application of this result is related to the famous Newton problem of minimal resistance. In general, all the results we shall develop hold for elliptic operators of any even order larger that 0.

Strong convergence theorem for a class of multiple-sets split variational inequality problems in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we introduce a new iterative algorithm for approximating a common solution of certain class of multiple-sets split variational inequality problems. The sequence of the proposed iterative algorithm is proved to converge strongly in Hilbert spaces. As application, we obtain some strong convergence results for some classes of multiple-sets split convex minimization problems.

Variational inequalities on Hilbert $C^*$-modules

We introduce variational inequality problems on Hilbert $C^*$-modules and we prove several existence results for variational inequalities defined on closed convex sets. Then relation between variational inequalities, $C^*$-valued metric projection and fixed point theory  on  Hilbert $C^*$-modules is studied.

The Solvability of Concave-Convex Quasilinear Elliptic Systems Involving $p$-Laplacian and Critical Sobolev Exponent

In this work, we study the existence of non-trivial multiple solutions for a class of quasilinear elliptic systems equipped with concave-convex nonlinearities and critical growth terms in bounded domains. By using the variational method, especially Nehari manifold and Palais-Smale condition, we prove the existence and multiplicity results of positive solutions.

Mehrfeldprobleme in der Kontinuumsmechanik

A global regularity theorem for stress fields which correspond to minimisers of convex and some special nonconvex variational problems is derived for Lipschitz-domains. In the first part it is assumed that the energy densities defining the variational problem are convex but not necessarily strictly convex and satisfy a convexity inequality. The regularity result for this case is derived with a ...

Variational Analysis in Bilevel Programming

The paper is devoted to applications of advanced tools of modern variational analysis and generalized differentiation to problems of optimistic bilevel programming. In this way, new necessary optimality conditions are derived for two major classes of bilevel programs: those with partially convex and with fully convex lower-level problems. We provide detailed discussions of the results obtained ...
