A variational formulation of the coupled thermo-mechanical boundary-value problem for general dissipative solids is presented. The coupled thermo-mechanical boundary-value problem under consideration consists of the equilibrium problem for a deformable, inelastic and dissipative solid with the heat conduction problem appended in addition. The variational formulation allows for general dissipati...

small scale thermal devices, such as micro heater, have led researchers to consider more accurate models of heat in thermal systems. moreover, biological applications of heat transfer such as simulation of temperature field in laser surgery is another pathway which urges us to re-examine thermal systems with modern ones. non-fourier heat transfer overcomes some shortcomings of fourier heat tran...

In this paper‎, ‎we model and solve the problem of optimal shaping and placing to put sensors for a 3-D wave equation with constant damping in a bounded open connected subset‎ ‎of 3-dimensional space‎. ‎The place of sensor is modeled by a subdomain‎ ‎of this region of a given measure‎. ‎By using an approach based on the embedding process‎, ‎first‎, ‎the system is formulated in variational form;...

We consider a variational problem, where the Lagrangean is of the form f(∇u)+αu. We introduce an explicit family of solutions to this problem and we prove uniqueness and comparison results. We show that as α tends to zero, the solutions converge to solutions of the limiting variational problem where α = 0.

In this work we present a variational formulation for neural networks. Within this formulation, the learning problem for the multilayer perceptron lies in terms of finding a function which is an extremal for some functional. As we will see, a variational formulation for neural networks provides a direct method for the solution of general variational problems, in any dimension and up to any degr...

‎In a real Hilbert space‎, ‎an iterative scheme is considered to‎ ‎obtain strong convergence which is an essential tool to find a‎ ‎common fixed point for a countable family of nonexpansive mappings‎ ‎and the solution of a variational inequality problem governed by a‎ ‎monotone mapping‎. ‎In this paper‎, ‎we give a procedure which results‎ ‎in developing Shehu's result to solve equilibrium prob...

In this paper, we use the concept of graph convergence of H(.,.)-co-accretive mapping introduced by [R. Ahmad, M. Akram, M. Dilshad, Graph convergence for the H(.,.)-co-accretive mapping with an application, Bull. Malays. Math. Sci. Soc., doi: 10.1007/s40840-014-0103-z, 2014$] and define an over-relaxed proximal point method to obtain the solution of a generalized variational inclusion problem ...

Given an ill-posed linear operator equation Au = f in a Hilbert space, we formulate a variational problem using Tikhonov regularization with a Sobolev norm of u, and we treat the variational problem by a Sobolev gradient flow. We show that the gradient system has a unique global solution for which the asymptotic limit exists with convergence in the strong sense using the Sobolev norm, and that ...

We consider the calibration of a Lévy process with American vanilla options. The price of an American vanilla option as a function of the maturity and the strike satisfies a forward in time linear complementarity problem involving a partial integro-differential operator. It leads to a variational inequality in a suitable weighted Sobolev space. Calibrating the Lévy process amounts to solving an...
