We consider a mathematical model of a high contrast two phase composite material with inclusions (fibres) close to touching in two space dimensions. The inclusions form a periodic array and have an optimal shape which is a curvilinear square with rounded-off angles (‘nearly square’ shape) described by a flattening parameter m. We derive an asymptotic formula for the effective conductivity Âδ of...

We explore convergence notions for bivariate functions that yield convergence and stability results for their maxinf (or minsup) points. This lays the foundations for the study of the stability of solutions to variational inequalities, the solutions of inclusions, of Nash equilibrium points of non-cooperative games and Walras economic equilibrium points, of fixed points, of solutions to inclusi...

Abstract Multidomain variational optimal control of evolution mixed subpotential inclusions, are formulated and analyzed, on the basis a perturbation conjugate duality convex analysis theory developed by author. For Lagrangian optimality conditions, fixed point existence results demonstrated with an strongly monotone qualifying condition. Governing multidomain state systems correspond to primal...

We apply a discrete network approximation to the problem of the effective conductivity of the high contrast, highly packed composites. The inclusions are irregularly (randomly) distributed in the hosting medium, so that a significant fraction of them may not participate in the conducting spanning cluster. For this class of inclusion distributions we derive a discrete network approximation and o...
