In this paper, we study variational inequalities related to ergodic control problems studied by M. Boulbrachène and H. Sissaoui [11, 1996], where the "discount factor" (i.e., the zero order term) is set to 0, we use an overlapping Schwarz method on nomatching grid which consists in decomposing the domain in two subdomains. For α ∈ ]0.1[ we provide the discretization on each subdomain converges ...

A variational method for calculating the critical nuclear charge ZC required for the binding of a nucleus to two electrons is reported. The method is very effective and performs well compared to the traditional variational principle for calculating energy. The critical nuclear charge, which corresponds to the minimum charge required for the atomic system to have at least one bound state, has be...

In this paper, a new descent-projection method with a new search direction for monotone structured variational inequalities is proposed. The method is simple, which needs only projections and some function evaluations, so its computational load is very tiny. Under mild conditions on the problem’s data, the method is proved to converges globally. Some preliminary computational results are also r...

In this paper, we focus on the alternating direction method, which is one of the most effective methods for solving structured variational inequalities(VI). In fact, we propose a proximal parallel alternating direction method which only needs to solve two strongly monotone sub-VI problems at each iteration. Convergence of the new method is proved under mild assumptions. We also present some pre...

in this paper we propose a descent method for solving variational inequality problems where the underlying operator is nonsmooth, locally Lipschitz, and monotone over a closed, convex feasible set. The idea is to combine a descent method for variational inequality problems whose operators are nonsmooth, locally Lipschitz, and strongly monotone, with the Tikonov-Browder regularization technique....

In this paper, we propose a novel statistical decap allocation method to reduce the voltage drop noise in the presence of variational leakage current sources. The new method can derive the closed form of decoupling capacitance (decaps) in terms of variational parameters from the variational leakage currents. It treats the deterministic decap method as a black box and can work with any existing ...

In this paper, we present a variational integrator that is based on an approximation of the Euler–Lagrange boundary-value problem via Taylor’s method. This can be viewed as a special case of the shooting-based variational integrator. The Taylor variational integrator exploits the structure of the Taylor method, which results in a shooting method that is one order higher compared to other shooti...

Generally speaking, there exist two basic ways to describe a physical problem [1]: (1) by differential equations (DE) with boundary or initial conditions; (2) by variational principles (VP). The VP model has many advantages over its DE partner: simple and compact in form while comprehensive in content, encompassing implicitly almost all information characterizing the problem under consideration...

In this paper, nonlinear integral equations have been solved numerically by using B-spline wavelet method and Variational Iteration Method (VIM). Compactly supported semi-orthogonal linear B-spline scaling and wavelet functions together with their dual functions are applied to approximate the solutions of nonlinear Fredholm integral equations of second kind. Comparisons are made between the var...

Via the semi-inverse method, variational principles are established for the Drinfeld-Sokolov-Wilson (DSW) equation. Based on the obtained variational formulations, exact solitary solution and exact singular periodic wave solution can be obtained using the variational approach.
