Inverse problems for multi-valued quasi variational inequalities and noncoercive variational inequalities with noisy data

ABSTRACT

We study the inverse problem of identifying a variable parameter in variational and quasi-variational inequalities. We consider a quasi-variational inequality involving a multi-valued monotone map and give a new existence result. We then formulate the inverse problem as an optimization problem and prove its solvability. We also conduct a thorough study of the inverse problem of parameter identification in noncoercive variational inequalities which appear commonly in applied models. We study the inverse problem by posing optimization problems using the output least-squares and the modified output least-squares. Using regularization, penalization, and smoothing, we obtain a single-valued parameter-to-selection map and study its differentiability. We consider optimization problems using the output least-squares and the modified output least-squares for the regularized, penalized and smoothened variational inequality. We give existence results, convergence analysis, and optimality conditions. We provide applications and numerical examples to justify the proposed framework.     

Étude des ω-PI Algèbres Commutatives de Degré 4: I. Algèbres Non Barycentriques Non Invariantes par Gamétisation

We define and study the properties of baric algebras defined by ω-polynomial identities, called ω-PI algebras. We show that every finite dimensional baric algebra is ω-PI. Next we introduce the study of ω-PI algebras of degree 4 with one indeterminate. By gametization we reduce their study to four types. We study the first type corresponding to algebras that are neither barycentric nor invariant by gametization. We show that the variety of these algebras is partitioned into only two subvarieties admiting an unique ponderation, an idempotent, and verifying ω-monomial identities of degrees > 4.     

p-Adic Gibbs quasimeasures for the Vannimenus model on a Cayley tree

We study p-adic Gibbs quasimeasures for the Vannimenus model on the order-two Cayley tree. We especially address the problem of the boundedness of translation-invariant p-adic Gibbs quasimeasures. We also study periodic p-adic Gibbs quasimeasures.     

Stationary Transonic Solutions of a One–Dimensional Hydrodynamic Model for Semiconductors

We study a hydrodynamic model for semiconductors where the energy equation is replaced by a pressure-density relationship. We construct artificial viscosity solutions, prove BV estimates independent of the viscosity coefficient and study the transonic weak limit. We also study the behavior of the limiting solution at the boundary for subsonic data. We find that a boundary layer can be formed on each side of the boundary and has a condition that determines the possible range of discontinuities for the density.     

Computation of the Delta in Multidimensional Jump-Diffusion Setting with Applications to Stochastic Volatility Models

We study the robustness of options prices to model variation in a multidimensional jump-diffusion framework. In particular, we consider price dynamics in which small variations are modeled either by a Poisson random measure with infinite activity or by a Brownian motion. We consider both European and Exotic options and we study their deltas using two approaches: the Malliavin method and the Fourier method. We prove robustness of the deltas to model variation. We apply these results to the study of stochastic volatility models for the underlying and the corresponding options.     

Recurrent Linear Operators

We study the notion of recurrence and some of its variations for linear operators acting on Banach spaces. We characterize recurrence for several classes of linear operators such as weighted shifts, composition operators and multiplication operators on classical Banach spaces. We show that on separable complex Hilbert spaces the study of recurrent operators reduces, in many cases, to the study of unitary operators. Finally, we study the notion of product recurrence and state some relevant open questions.     

Subdifferentiation of Regularized Functions

We study the Moreau regularization process for functions satisfying a general growth condition on general Banach spaces. We give differentiability criteria and we study the relationships between the subdifferentials of the function and the subdifferentials of its approximations. We also consider the Lasry-Lions process.     

On String Graph Limits and the Structure of a Typical String Graph

We study limits of convergent sequences of string graphs, that is graphs with an intersection representation consisting of curves in the plane. We use these results to study the limiting behavior of a sequence of random string graphs. We also prove similar results for several related graph classes.     

Timelike Minimal Surfaces via Loop Groups

This work consists of two parts. In Part I, we shall give a systematic study of Lorentz conformal structure from structural viewpoints. We study manifolds with split-complex structure. We apply general results on split-complex structure for the study of Lorentz surfaces.In Part II, we study the conformal realization of Lorentz surfaces in the Minkowski 3-space via conformal minimal immersions. We apply loop group theoretic Weierstrass-type representation of timelike constant mean curvature for timelike minimal surfaces. Classical integral representation formula for timelike minimal surfaces will be recovered from loop group theoretic viewpoint.     

�Ǿ���Գ��Զ���Ϊ3/n(n>=3)����������Ľṹ������ѽ�

We study the random variables of radial asymmetry based on copulas. We research on the structure of random variables which radial asymmetry degree isand get the exact best-possible bounds of random variables which radial asymmetry degree is equal to. Then we expand to general case. We propose an essential condition of radial asymmetry degree is and study the structure of copula. We provide a broad bounds of copula that the radial asymmetry degree is .     

2-D singular Cauchy problems for quasilinear equations

We consider 2-dimensional quasilinear Cauchy problems for singular initial values in a complex domain. We study the singularities of the solution, in terms of monoidal transformation. We study whether the singularities propagate toward characteristic directions, and whether the singularities branch.     

Abelian Hypercomplex 8-Dimensional Nilmanifolds

We study invariant Abelian hypercomplex structures on 8-dimensional nilpotent Lie groups. We prove that a group N admitting such a structure is either Abelian or an Abelian extension of a group of type H. We determine the Poincaré polynomials of the associated nilmanifolds and study the existence of symplectic and quaternionic structures on such spaces.     

Singular Integral Operators in Generalized Morrey Spaces on Curves in the Complex Plane

We study the boundedness of the Cauchy singular integral operators on curves in complex plane in generalized Morrey spaces. We also consider the weighted case with radial weights. We apply these results to the study of Fredholm properties of singular integral operators in weighted generalized Morrey spaces.     

Complex Cauchy Problems with Intersecting Singularities

We consider linear Cauchy problems of order two in a complex domain. We assume that the initial values have singularities along a family of hypersurfaces, which cross pairwise transversally along a single intersection. We study the propagation of the singularities of the solution. We show that the solution may have anomalous singularities, and study the monodromy of the solution.     

Poisson Equation on Some Complete Noncompact Manifolds

We study the Poisson equation on some complete noncompact manifolds with asymptotically nonnegative curvature. We will also study the limiting behavior of the nonhomogeneous heat equation on some complete noncompact manifolds with nonnegative curvature.     

On the existence of the biharmonic Green kernels and the adjoint biharmonic functions

We study the existence and the regularity of the biharmonic Green kernel in a Brelot biharmonic space whose associated harmonic spaces have Green kernels. We show by some examples that this kernel does not always exist. We then introduce and study the adjoint of the given biharmonic space. This study was initiated by Smyrnelis, however, it seems that several results were incomplete and we clarify them here.     

Maximum and minimum between fuzzy symbols in non-interactive and weakly non-interactive situations

We define fuzzy symbols as particular fuzzy sets whose membership functions operate between two linearly ordered spaces, and study the operations of maximum and of minimum between two fuzzy symbols. We consider the membership functions of the fuzzy symbols as possibility distributions. We study those of the maximum and the minimum of two non-interactive and weakly non-interactive variables.     

The dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin method and related difference schemes

We study the dynamical behavior of the discontinuous Galerkin finite element method for initial value problems in ordinary differential equations. We make two different assumptions which guarantee that the continuous problem defines a dissipative dynamical system. We show that, under certain conditions, the discontinuous Galerkin approximation also defines a dissipative dynamical system and we study the approximation properties of the associated discrete dynamical system. We also study the behavior of difference schemes obtained by applying a quadrature formula to the integrals defining the discontinuous Galerkin approximation and construct two kinds of discrete finite element approximations that share the dissipativity properties of the original method.

     

Semi-Slant Submanifolds of a Sasakian Manifold

We define and study both bi-slant and semi-slant submanifolds of an almost contact metric manifold and, in particular, of a Sasakian manifold. We prove a characterization theorem for semi-slant submanifolds and we obtain integrability conditions for the distributions which are involved in the definition of such submanifolds. We also study an interesting particular class of semi-slant submanifolds.     

Nonlocal Interaction Equations in Environments with Heterogeneities and Boundaries

We study well-posedness of a class of nonlocal interaction equations with spatially dependent mobility. We also allow for the presence of boundaries and external potentials. Such systems lead to the study of nonlocal interaction equations on subsets ? of ? ^d endowed with a Riemannian metric g. We obtain conditions, relating the interaction potential and the geometry, which imply existence, uniqueness and stability of solutions. We study the equations in the setting of gradient flows in the space of probability measures on ? endowed with Riemannian 2-Wasserstein metric.
