Observability inequality for a wave equation with elastic fastening in the case of critical time interval

Problems with one-sided boundary controls of three basic types and homogeneous boundary third conditions on uncontrollable ends are considered for a wave equation in classes of strong generalized solutions in time intervals of strict critical length. New constructive observability inequalities are obtained for dual problems in adjoint classes of weak generalized solutions.     

Threshold optimization in observability inequality for the wave equation with homogeneous Robin-type boundary condition

For the wave equation with variable coefficients, problems with one-side boundary controls of three basic types and a boundary condition of the third kind at the uncontrolled end are considered. For dual problems with one-side boundary observations in the classes of strong generalized solutions, new constructive observability inequalities are obtained that are superior to the earlier known ones in two respects. First, inequalities with an optimal value of the controllability-observability threshold are derived, and second, the value of the final evaluation constant is bounded away from zero on time intervals whose length is close to the critical length. This opens up a possibility of constructing stable approximate solutions to the indicated classes of dual control and observation problems on time intervals not only of an arbitrary supercritical but also of precisely critical length.

Stationary internal layers in a reaction-advection-diffusion integro-differential system

A class of singularly perturbed nonlinear integro-differential problems with solutions involving internal transition layers (contrast structures) is considered. An asymptotic expansion of these solutions with respect to a small parameter is constructed, and the stability of stationary solutions to the associated integro-parabolic problems is investigated. The asymptotics are substantiated using the asymptotic method of differential inequalities, which is extended to the new class of problems. The method is based on well-known theorems about differential inequalities and on the idea of using formal asymptotics for constructing upper and lower solutions in singularly perturbed problems with internal and boundary layers.

Homogenization of variational inequalities for a biharmonic operator with constraints on subsets <Emphasis Type="Italic">ε</Emphasis>-periodically placed along a manifold of large dimension

Behavior of solutions of variational inequalities for a biharmonic operator is studied. These inequalities correspond to one-sided constraints on subsets of a domain Ω placed ε-periodically. All possible behavior types of solutions u _ε of variational inequalities are considered for ε → 0 depending on relations between small parameters, which are the structure period ε and the contraction coefficient a _ε of subsets where one-sided constraints are posed.     

A general method for finding the optimal threshold in discrete time

We develop an approach for solving one-sided optimal stopping problems in discrete time for general underlying Markov processes on the real line. The main idea is to transform the problem into an auxiliary problem for the ladder height variables. In case that the original problem has a one-sided solution and the auxiliary problem has a monotone structure, the corresponding myopic stopping time is optimal for the original problem as well. This elementary line of argument directly leads to a characterization of the optimal boundary in the original problem. The optimal threshold is given by the threshold of the myopic stopping time in the auxiliary problem. Supplying also a sufficient condition for our approach to work, we obtain solutions for many prominent examples in the literature, among others the problems of Novikov-Shiryaev, Shepp-Shiryaev, and the American put in option pricing under general conditions. As a further application we show that for underlying random walks (and Lévy processes in continuous time), general monotone and log-concave reward functions g lead to one-sided stopping problems.     

Variational Inequalities for Navier--Stokes Type Operators and One-Sided Problems for Equations of Viscous Heat-Conducting Fluids

We study a class of stationary variational inequalities for Navier--Stokes type operators that can be used to represent problems with nonlinear boundary conditions for equations of motion of viscous fluids. The main result (the solvability theorem) is used for studying one-sided boundary-value problems for equations of heat convection of viscous fluids.     

Hardy-Sobolev critical singular elliptic equations with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions

Three important inequalities (the Poincaré, Hardy and generalized Poincaré inequalities) on the mixed boundary conditions are firstly established by some analytical techniques. Then the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions are studied for a class of semilinear elliptic equations with mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions involving Hardy terms and Hardy-Sobolev critical exponents by using the variational methods.     

Observability of elastic vibrations of a beam

The observability problem for beam vibrations described by a fourth-order partial differential equation with various boundary conditions is considered.

Necessary optimality conditions for Stackelberg problems

First-order necessary optimality conditions are derived for a class of two-level Stackelberg problems in which the followers' lower-level problems are convex programs with unique solutions. To this purpose, generalized Jacobians of the marginal maps corresponding to followers' problems are estimated. As illustrative examples, two discretized optimum design problems with elliptic variational inequalities are investigated. The theoretical results may be used also for the numerical solution of the Stackelberg problems considered by nondifferentiable optimization methods.Communicated by M. Simaan

Continuous invertibility of a boundary control operator for the wave equation on subcritical intervals in classes of weak generalized solutions

For the wave equation, problems with two-sided boundary controls of three basic types are considered. Constructive estimates for the bounded invertibility of the control operator with known estimated constants are obtained in classes of weak generalized solutions on intervals of subcritical length. With the use of these estimates, stable numerical solutions of the considered problems on time intervals of strictly subcritical length can be found by applying a variational method. The main difference of the present estimated constants from those considered previously in the case of strong generalized solutions is that they degenerate as the time interval length approaches its critical value.

Existence and approximation of solutions for nonlinear second-order four-point boundary value problems

Applying the method of upper and lower solutions, Leray–Schauder degree theory and one-sided Nagumo condition, we obtain the existence and uniqueness results for a class of nonlinear second-order four-point boundary value problems. By the generalized approximation method, a monotone iteration sequence which converges uniformly to the unique solution of the nonlinear problem and converges quadratically to the unique solution of the linear problem is also obtained.     

Generalized solutions of initial-boundary value problems for second-order hyperbolic systems

The method of boundary integral equations is developed as applied to initial-boundary value problems for strictly hyperbolic systems of second-order equations characteristic of anisotropic media dynamics. Based on the theory of distributions (generalized functions), solutions are constructed in the space of generalized functions followed by passing to integral representations and classical solutions. Solutions are considered in the class of singular functions with discontinuous derivatives, which are typical of physical problems describing shock waves. The uniqueness of the solutions to the initial-boundary value problems is proved under certain smoothness conditions imposed on the boundary functions. The Green’s matrix of the system and new fundamental matrices based on it are used to derive integral analogues of the Gauss, Kirchhoff, and Green formulas for solutions and solving singular boundary integral equations.
