Matrix representations of Sturm‐Liouville problems with coupled eigenparameter‐dependent boundary conditions and transmission conditions

We study matrix representations of Sturm‐Liouville problems with coupled eigenparameter‐dependent boundary conditions and transmission conditions. Meanwhile, given any matrix eigenvalue problem with coupled eigenparameter‐dependent boundary conditions and transmission conditions, we construct a class of Sturm‐Liouville problems with given boundary conditions and transmission conditions such that they have the same eigenvalues.

Generalized boundary conditions on representative volume elements and their use in determining the effective material properties

We discuss generalized boundary conditions for representative volume elements (RVE), which include the classical boundary conditions as special cases. From the generalization, stochastic boundary conditions are derived. These allows to adjust the the stiffness of the boundary conditions smoothly between the extremal cases of homogeneous strain and homogeneous stress boundary conditions. We found that it needs to be distinguished between the resistance of the boundary conditions against homogeneous and inhomogeneous RVE deformation. The stochastic BC can combine the moderate stiffness of the well known periodic boundary conditions with the high resistance against localization of the homogeneous strain boundary conditions.

Degenerate boundary conditions for the diffusion operator

We describe all degenerate two-point boundary conditions possible in a homogeneous spectral problem for the diffusion operator. We show that the case in which the characteristic determinant is identically zero is impossible for the nonsymmetric diffusion operator and that the only possible degenerate boundary conditions are the Cauchy conditions. For the symmetric diffusion operator, the characteristic determinant is zero if and only if the boundary conditions are falsely periodic boundary conditions; the characteristic determinant is identically a nonzero constant if and only if the boundary conditions are generalized Cauchy conditions.     

Immersed Interface Finite Element Methods for Elasticity Interface Problems with Non-Homogeneous Jump Conditions

<正>In this paper,a class of new immersed interface finite element methods (IIFEM) is developed to solve elasticity interface problems with homogeneous and non-homogeneous jump conditions in two dimensions.Simple non-body-fitted meshes are used.For homogeneous jump conditions,both non-conforming and conforming basis functions are constructed in such a way that they satisfy the natural jump conditions. For non-homogeneous jump conditions,a pair of functions that satisfy the same non-homogeneous jump conditions are constructed using a level-set representation of the interface.With such a pair of functions,the discontinuities across the interface in the solution and flux are removed;and an equivalent elasticity interface problem with homogeneous jump conditions is formulated.Numerical examples are presented to demonstrate that such methods have second order convergence.     

Constraint Qualifications in Nonsmooth Multiobjective Optimization

For an inequality constrained nonsmooth multiobjective optimization problem involving locally Lipschitz functions, stronger KT-type necessary conditions and KT necessary conditions (which in the continuously differentiable case reduce respectively to the stronger KT conditions studied recently by Maeda and the usual KT conditions) are derived for efficiency and weak efficiency under several constraint qualifications. Stimulated by the stronger KT-type conditions, the notion of core of the convex hull of the union of finitely many convex sets is introduced. As main tool in the derivation of the necessary conditions, a theorem of the alternatives and a core separation theorem are also developed which are respectively extensions of the Motzkin transposition theorem and the Tucker theorem.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions in constrained optimization

Additional conditions are attached to the Kuhn-Tucker conditions giving a set of conditions which are both necessary and sufficient for optimality in constrained optimization, under appropriate constraint qualifications. Necessary and sufficient conditions are also given for optimality of the dual problem. Duality and converse duality are treated accordingly.     

Long-time behaviour of absorbing boundary conditions

A new class of computational far-field boundary conditions for hyperbolic partial differential equations was recently introduced by the authors. These boundary conditions combine properties of absorbing conditions for transient solutions and properties of far-field conditions for steady states. This paper analyses the properties of the wave equation coupled with these new boundary conditions: well-posedness, dissipativity and convergence in time.     

Global optimality conditions for quadratic 0-1 optimization problems

In the present work, we intend to derive conditions characterizing globally optimal solutions of quadratic 0-1 programming problems. By specializing the problem of maximizing a convex quadratic function under linear constraints, we find explicit global optimality conditions for quadratic 0-1 programming problems, including necessary and sufficient conditions and some necessary conditions. We also present some global optimality conditions for the problem of minimization of half-products.     

Optimality conditions for strongly monotone variational inequalities

Necessary conditions for optimal controls have been obtained for strongly monotone variational inequalities by the penalty method, Ekeland's Variational Principle, and lower-semicontinuity of set-valued mappings. It has been shown that these conditions are easy to apply and can imply some known necessary conditions. They also yield new optimality conditions.     

Solution continuity in variational conditions

We present some results about Lipschitzian behavior of solutions to variational conditions when the sets over which the conditions are posed, as well as the functions appearing in them, may vary. These results rely on calmness and inner semicontinuity, and we describe some conditions under which those conditions hold, especially when the sets involved in the variational conditions are convex and polyhedral. We then apply the results to find error bounds for solutions of a strongly monotone variational inequality in which both the constraining polyhedral multifunction and the monotone operator are perturbed.      

New bifurcation theorems via the second-order optimality conditions

We derive new sufficient conditions for bifurcation relying on subtle second-order necessary optimality conditions for abnormal equality-constrained optimization problems. We relate these conditions to the known ones, and demonstrate the cases when the new conditions are easier to verify.     

Differential Conditions for Constrained Nonlinear Programming via Pareto Optimization

We deal with the differential conditions for local optimality. The conditions that we derive for inequality constrained problems do not require constraint qualifications and are the broadest conditions based on only first-order and second-order derivatives. A similar result is proved for equality constrained problems, although the necessary conditions require the regularity of the equality constraints.     

On strong and weak second-order necessary optimality conditions for nonlinear programming

Second-order necessary optimality conditions play an important role in optimization theory. This is explained by the fact that most numerical optimization algorithms reduce to finding stationary points satisfying first-order necessary optimality conditions. As a rule, optimization problems, especially the high dimensional ones, have a lot of stationary points so one has to use second-order necessary optimality conditions to exclude nonoptimal points. These conditions are closely related to second-order constraint qualifications, which guarantee the validity of second-order necessary optimality conditions. In this paper, strong and weak second-order necessary optimality conditions are considered and their validity proved under so-called critical regularity condition at local minimizers.

On state dependent non-local conditions

We introduce a new type of non-local conditions, which we call state dependent non-local conditions, and we study existence and uniqueness of solutions for abstract differential equation subjected to this class of conditions. The non-local condition proposed generalizes several types of non-local conditions studied in the literature. Some examples are given to illustrate our theory.     

Eine abstrakte Theorie der Kegel- und Segmentbedingungen

We develop an abstract theory of geometric regularity conditions for subsets of normed linear spaces, of the type which occurs in the theory of Sobolev spaces (cone conditions, …). The theory is to systematize the diversity of existing conditions, to replace complicated conditions by simpler ones, and to clarify the interplay between different conditions. Our main result is a very general decomposition theorem.     

Regular simple geodesic loops on a tetrahedron

A regular simple geodesic loop on a tetrahedron is a simple geodesic loop which does not pass through any vertex of the tetrahedron. It is evident that such loops meet each face of the tetrahedron. Among these loops, the minimal loops are those which meet each face exactly once. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of minimal loops are obtained. These conditions fall naturally into two categories, conditions in the first category being called coherence conditions and conditions in the second category being called separation conditions. It is shown that for the existence of three distinct minimal loops through any point on the face of a tetrahedron it is necessary and sufficient that the tetrahedron be isosceles, which, in turn, amounts to the tetrahedron satisfying three coherence conditions. All other regular simple geodesic loops on an isosceles tetrahedron are then classified. Finally, coherence conditions for the existence of similar loops on an arbitrary tetrahedron are found.
