Partially Strictly Monotone and Nonlinear Penalty Functions for Constrained Mathematical Programs

We introduce the concept of partially strictly monotone functions and apply it to construct a class of nonlinear penalty functions for a constrained optimization problem. This class of nonlinear penalty functions includes some (nonlinear) penalty functions currently used in the literature as special cases. Assuming that the perturbation function is lower semi-continuous, we prove that the sequence of optimal values of nonlinear penalty problems converges to that of the original constrained optimization problem. First-order and second-order necessary optimality conditions of nonlinear penalty problems are derived by converting the optimality of penalty problems into that of a smooth constrained vector optimization problem. This approach allows for a concise derivation of optimality conditions of nonlinear penalty problems. Finally, we prove that each limit point of the second-order stationary points of the nonlinear penalty problems is a second-order stationary point of the original constrained optimization problem.     

Some sufficient conditions for oscillation of impulsive delay hyperbolic systems with Robin boundary conditions

This paper deals with the oscillation problems of delay hyperbolic systems with impulses. Some sufficient conditions for oscillations of impulsive delay hyperbolic systems with Robin boundary conditions are obtained and the criteria of oscillation of the systems are established.     

Optimal control of the obstacle in a quasilinear elliptic variational inequality

In this paper we consider an obstacle control problem where the state satisfies a quasilinear elliptic variational inequality and the control function is the obstacle. The state is chosen to be close to the desire profile while the H² norms of the obstacle is not too large. Existence and necessary conditions for the optimal control are established.

On a theorem of Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund

Let {ϕn(x)} be an orthonormal system on the closed interval [0,1], and let ∥ϕ _n ∥_∞ ≤M _n . In 1937 Marcinkiewicz and Zygmund obtained an estimate of the norm inL _q [0,1] of the sum of the series ∑ _n=1 ^∞ c _n ϕ _n (x) under the condition that {M _n } is monotone increasing. In this paper it is shown that this condition cannot be discarded. Translated fromMatematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 63, No. 3, pp. 386–390, March, 1998. The author wishes to thank V. I. Kolyada for setting the problem and for his permanent attention to this work.

On a certain two-sided symmetric condition in magnetic field analysis and computations

A special two-sided condition for the incremental magnetic reluctivity is introduced which guarantees the unique existence of both the weak and the approximate solutions of the nonlinear stationary magnetic field distributed on a region composed of different media, as well as a certain estimate of the error between the two solutions. The condition, being discussed from the physical as well as the mathematical point of view, can be easily verified and is fulfilled for various magnetic reluctivity models used in electrotechnical practice.
