A globally convergent Newton method for solving strongly monotone variational inequalities

Variational inequality problems have been used to formulate and study equilibrium problems, which arise in many fields including economics, operations research and regional sciences. For solving variational inequality problems, various iterative methods such as projection methods and the nonlinear Jacobi method have been developed. These methods are convergent to a solution under certain conditions, but their rates of convergence are typically linear. In this paper we propose to modify the Newton method for variational inequality problems by using a certain differentiable merit function to determine a suitable step length. The purpose of introducing this merit function is to provide some measure of the discrepancy between the solution and the current iterate. It is then shown that, under the strong monotonicity assumption, the method is globally convergent and, under some additional assumptions, the rate of convergence is quadratic. Limited computational experience indicates the high efficiency of the proposed method.     

叶栅全三维粘性反问题的数值解

本文发展了一种解叶栅全三维粘性反问题的新的数值方法.基于非正交曲线坐标与相应的非正交速度分量下完全守恒型的Navier－Stokes方程,全三维反问题规定叶片表面的无量纲压力分布反求叶型。计算中叶片表面的边界条件采用一种特殊的方式来处理，即一方面强加给定的压力分布条件,另方面叶面的几何位置在迭代过程中又是可移动的，其移动速度将与Navier—Stokes方程在当地的解联系起来，从而形成一种解定常问题的新的不定常过程.试算证明了本文方法的可行性。

Hessian Measures III

In this paper, we continue previous investigations into the theory of Hessian measures. We extend our weak continuity result to the case of mixed k-Hessian measures associated with k-tuples of k-convex functions, on domains in Euclidean n-space, k=1,2,…,n. Applications are given to capacity, quasicontinuity, and the Dirichlet problem, with inhomogeneous terms, continuous with respect to capacity or combinations of Dirac measures.     

Halin-图的点强全染色

图G(V,E)的一个k-正常全染色f叫做一个k-点强全染色当且仅当对任意v∈V(G), N[v]中的元素被染不同色,其中N[v]={u|uv∈V(G)}∪{v}．χTvs(G)=min{k|存在图G的k- 点强全染色}叫做图G的点强全色数．对3-连通平面图G(V,E),如果删去面fo边界上的所有点后的图为一个树图,则G(V,E)叫做一个Halin-图．本文确定了最大度不小于6的Halin- 图和一些特殊图的的点强全色数XTvs(G),并提出了如下猜想:设G(V,E)为每一连通分支的阶不小于6的图,则χTvs(G)≤△(G) 2,其中△(G)为图G(V,E)的最大度．     

Exact boundary observability for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations

By means of a direct and constructive method based on the theory of semi‐global C² solution, the local exact boundary observability and an implicit duality between the exact boundary controllability and the exact boundary observability are shown for 1‐D quasilinear wave equations with various boundary conditions.

On the existence and the stability of solutions for higher-order semilinear Dirichlet problems

We investigate the existence and stability of solutions for higher-order two-point boundary value problems in case the differential operator is not necessarily positive definite, i.e. with superlinear nonlinearities. We write an abstract realization of the Dirichlet problem and provide abstract existence and stability results which are further applied to concrete problems.     

Necessary conditions and non-existence results for autonomous nonconvex variational problems

Classical one-dimensional, autonomous Lagrange problems are considered. In absence of any smoothness, convexity or coercivity condition on the energy density, we prove a DuBois-Reymond type necessary condition, expressed as a differential inclusion involving the subdifferential of convex analysis. As a consequence, a non-existence result is obtained.     

Interpolation of positive operators

We study problems of interpolation of positive linear operators in couples of ordered Banach spaces. From this viewpoint, we study couples of noncommutative spaces L ₁, L _∞ associated with weights and traces on von Neumann algebras.
