On an optimal shape design problem to control a thermoelastic deformation under a prescribed thermal treatment

A shape optimization problem concerned with thermal deformation of elastic bodies is considered. In this article, measure theory approach in function space is derived, resulting in an effective algorithm for the discretized optimization problem. First the problem is expressed as an optimal control problem governed by variational forms on a fixed domain. Then by using an embedding method, the class of admissible shapes is replaced by a class of positive Borel measures. The optimization problem in measure space is then approximated by a linear programming problem. The optimal measure representing optimal shape is approximated by the solution of this finite-dimensional linear programming problem. Numerical examples are also given.

Characterization of duality for a generalized quasi-equilibrium problem

In this paper, the duality theory of a generalized quasi-equilibrium problem (also called generalized Ky Fan quasi-inequality) is investigated by using the image space approach. Generalized quasi-equilibrium problem is transformed into a minimization problem. The minimization problem is further reformulated as an image problem by virtue of linear/nonlinear separation function. The dual problem of the image problem is constructed in the image space, then zero duality gap between the image problem and its dual problem is derived under saddle point condition as well as the equivalent regular linear/nonlinear separation condition. Finally, some more sufficient conditions guaranteeing zero duality gap are also proposed.

A singular multi-dimensional piston problem in compressible flow

This paper concerns the multi-dimensional piston problem, which is a special initial boundary value problem of multi-dimensional unsteady potential flow equation. The problem is defined in a domain bounded by two conical surfaces, one of them is shock, whose location is also to be determined. By introducing self-similar coordinates, the problem can be reduced to a free boundary value problem of an elliptic equation. The existence of the problem is proved by using partial hodograph transformation and nonlinear alternating iteration. The result also shows the stability of the structure of shock front in symmetric case under small perturbation.

On optimal shape design of systems governed by mixed Dirichlet-Signorini boundary value problems

A problem for finding optimal shape for systems governed by the mixed unilateral boundary value problem of Dirichlet-Signorini-type is considered. Conditions for the solvability of the problem are stated when a variational inequality formulation and when a penalty method is used for solving the state problem in question. The asymptotic relation of design problems based on these two formulations is presented. The optimal shape design problem is discretized by means of finite element method. The convergence results for the approximation are proved. The discretized versions are then formulated as a non-linear programming problem. Results of practical computations of the problem in question are reported.     

Control the Fibre Orientation Distribution at the Outlet of Contraction

A two dimensional model of the orientation distribution of fibres in a paper machine headbox is studied. The goal is to control the fibre orientation distribution at the outlet of contraction by changing its shape. The mathematical formulation leads to an optimization problem with control in coefficients of a linear convection-diffusion equation as the state problem. Then, the problem is expressed as an optimal control problem governed by variational forms. By using an embedding method, the class of admissible shapes is replaced by a class of positive Radon measures. The optimization problem in measure space is then approximated by a linear programming problem. The optimal measure representing optimal shape is approximated by the solution of this linear programming problem. In this paper, we have shown that the embedding method (embedding the admissible set into a subset of measures), successfully can be applied to shape variation design to a one dimensional headbox. The usefulness of this idea is that the method is not iterative and it does not need any initial guess of the solution.      

Characterizations of Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations for the split variational inequality problem

The purpose of this paper is to investigate Levitin–polyak well-posedness by perturbations of the split variational inequality problem in reflexive Banach spaces. Furi-Vignoli-type characterizations are established for the well-posedness. We prove that the weak generalized Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations is equivalent to the nonemptiness and boundedness of the solution set of the problem. Finally, we discuss the relations between the Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of the split variational inequality problem and the Levitin–Polyak well-posedness by perturbations of the split minimization problem when the split variational inequality problem arises from the split minimization problem.     

An overview of Stackelberg pricing in networks

The Stackelberg pricing problem has two levels of decision making: tariff setting by an operator, and then selection of the cheapest alternative by customers. In the network version, an operator determines tariffs on a subset of the arcs that he owns. Customers, who wish to connect two vertices with a path of a certain capacity, select the cheapest path. The revenue for the operator is determined by the tariff and the amount of usage of his arcs. The most natural model for the problem is a (bilinear) bilevel program, where the upper level problem is the pricing problem of the operator, and the lower level problem is a shortest path problem for each of the customers.

A semidefinite programming approach for solving fractional optimal control problems

This paper presents a numerical scheme for solving fractional optimal control. The fractional derivative in this problem is in the Riemann–Liouville sense. The proposed method, based upon the method of moments, converts the fractional optimal control problem to a semidefinite optimization problem; namely, the nonlinear optimal control problem is converted to a convex optimization problem. The Grunwald–Letnikov formula is also used as an approximation for fractional derivative. The solution of fractional optimal control problem is found by solving the semidefinite optimization problem. Finally, numerical examples are presented to show the performance of the method.
