The integral representation for the relaxation of a class of energy functionals where the admissible fields are constrained to remain on a C m-dimensional manifold M ⊂ R is obtained. If f : Rd×N → [0,∞) is a continuous function satisfying 0 ≤ f(ξ) ≤ C(1 + |ξ|), for C > 0, p ≥ 1, and for all ξ ∈ Rd×N , then F(u,Ω) : = inf {un}  lim inf n→∞ Z Ω f(∇un) dx : un ⇀ u in W , un(x) ∈M a.e. x ∈ Ω, n ∈ ...

Higher order variational problems appear often in the engineering literature and in connection with the so-called gradient theories of phase transitions within elasto-plastic regimes. The study of equilibria of micromagnetic materials asks for mastery of second order energies (see [51], [91]; see also [31], [38], [44], [45], [61], [77], [78], [79], [108]), and the Blake-Zisserman model for imag...

in this paper, we consider the variational homotopy perturbation method (vhpm) to obtain an approximate series solution for the generalized fisher’s equation which converges to the exact solution in the region of convergence. comparisons are made among the variational iteration method (vim), the exact solutions and the proposed method. the results reveal that the proposed method is very effectiv...

In this paper, a numerical solution based on Haar wavelet quasilinearization (HWQ) is used for finding the solution of nonlinear Euler-Lagrange equations which arise from the problems in calculus of variations. Some examples of variational problems are given and outcomes compared with exact solutions to demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of the method.

In this work, the Blasius equation is studied. Homotopy perturbation method (HPM) and homotopy analysis method (HAM) are applied to obtain its solution. Comparison with variational iteration method (VIM) is made to highlight the significant features of employed methods and their capability of handling nonlinear problems. The outcome shows the success of (HPM) and (HAM) for solving nonlinear pro...

‎We consider nonconvex vector optimization problems with variable ordering structures in Banach spaces‎. ‎Under certain boundedness and continuity properties we present necessary conditions for approximate solutions of these problems‎. ‎Using a generic approach to subdifferentials we derive necessary conditions for approximate minimizers and approximately minimal solutions of vector optimizatio...

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.

In this paper, the concept of pseudoconvexity and quasiconvexity for continuous~-time functions are studied and an equivalence condition for pseudoconvexity is obtained. Moreover, under pseudoconvexity assumptions, some relationships between Minty and Stampacchia vector variational inequalities and continuous-time programming problems are presented. Finally, some characterizations of the soluti...

In this paper, We introduce a new class of generalized vector complementarity problems and the corresponding generalized vector variational inequality problems which include many known complementarity problems and the corresponding vector variational inequality problems as special cases and establish the equivalence between those problems in Banach spaces. Furthermore, we obtain some new existe...

The relationship between mathematical programming and classical calculus of variation was explored and extended by Hanson [6]. Thereafter variational programming problems have attracted some attention in literature. Duality for multiobjective variational problems has been of much interest in the recent years, and several contributions have been made to its development (see, e.g., Bector and Hus...
