Existence of Solutions and Algorithms for Bilevel Vector Equilibrium Problems: An Auxiliary Principle Technique

The main goal of this paper is to introduce and study bilevel vector equilibrium problems. We first establish some existence results for solutions of vector equilibrium problems and mixed vector equilibrium problems. We study the existence of solutions of bilevel vector equilibrium problems by considering a vector Thikhonov-type regularization procedure. By using this regularization procedure and existence results for mixed vector equilibrium problems, we establish some existence results for solutions of bilevel vector equilibrium problems. By using the auxiliary principle, we propose an algorithm for finding the approximate solutions of bilevel vector equilibrium problems. The strong convergence of the proposed algorithm is also studied.

Generalization of the method of functionally invariant solutions for dynamic problems of the plane theory of elasticity of anisotropic media

A new approach for constructing functionally invariant solutions for dynamic problems of the plane theory of elasticity of anisotropic media is proposed. Solutions of the equations of motion in displacements and potentials, which express plane waves and waves from a point source, and also complex solutions of a general type are obtained and investigated. The problem of the reflection of plane waves from the boundary of a half-space is solved for comparison with earlier results [1]. The solutions obtained agree with the physical meaning of the problems and with the solutions for isotropic media.     

A heuristic approach to hard constrained shortest path problems

Constrained shortest path problems have many applications in areas like network routing, investments planning and project evaluation as well as in some classical combinatorial problems with high duality gaps where even obtaining feasible solutions is a difficult task in general.We present in this paper a systematic method for obtaining good feasible solutions to hard (doubly constrained) shortest path problems. The algorithm is based essentially on the concept of efficient solutions which can be obtained via parametric shortest path calculations. The computational results obtained show that the approach proposed here leads to optimal or very good near optimal solutions for all the problems studied.From a theoretical point of view, the most important contribution of the paper is the statement of a pseudopolynomial algorithm for generating the efficient solutions and, more generally, for solving the parametric shortest path problem.     

Initial-irregular oblique derivative problems for nonlinear parabolic systems of second order equations with measurable coefficients

The initial-irregular oblique derivative boundary value problems for nonlinear and nondivergence parabolic systems of second order equations in multiply connected domains are dealt with where coefficients of systems of equations are meaurable. The uniqueness theorem of solutions for the above problems and somea priori estimates of solutions for the problems are given. And by using the above estimates of solutions and the Leray-Schauder theorem, the existence of solutions of the initial-boundary value problems is proved. The results are generalizations of corresponding theorems in literature. Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 19671006).     

Locally extra-optimal regularizing algorithms and a posteriori estimates of the accuracy for ill-posed problems with discontinuous solutions

Local a posteriori estimates of the accuracy of approximate solutions to ill-posed inverse problems with discontinuous solutions from the classes of functions of several variables with bounded variations of the Hardy or Giusti type are studied. Unlike global estimates (in the norm), local estimates of accuracy are carried out using certain linear estimation functionals (e.g., using the mean value of the solution on a given fragment of its support). The concept of a locally extra-optimal regularizing algorithm for solving ill-posed inverse problems, which has an optimal in order local a posteriori estimate, was introduced. A method for calculating local a posteriori estimates of accuracy with the use of some distinguished classes of linear functionals for the problems with discontinuous solutions is proposed. For linear inverse problems, the method is bases on solving specialized convex optimization problems. Examples of locally extra-optimal regularizing algorithms and results of numerical experiments on a posteriori estimation of the accuracy of solutions for different linear estimation functionals are presented.

First-order advanced difference equations

We investigate the existence of solutions to nonlinear first-order difference problems with advanced arguments. Sufficient conditions when such problems have solutions (extremal or unique) are given. Linear advanced difference inequalities are also discussed. According to my knowledge, it is a first paper when a monotone iterative method is applied to nonlinear boundary value problems for first-order difference equations with advanced arguments. An example illustrates the theoretical results.     

On the Existence of Solutions of Quasi-equilibrium Problems with Constraints

The quasi-equilibrium problems with constraints are formulated and some sufficient conditions on the existence of their solutions are shown. As special cases, we obtain several results on the existence of solutions of some vector quasivariational inequality and vector optimization problems. An application of the obtained results is given to show the existence of solutions of quasi-optimization problems with constraints.     

Scalarization and optimality conditions for vector equilibrium problems

In this paper, we investigated vector equilibrium problems and gave the scalarization results for weakly efficient solutions, Henig efficient solutions, and globally efficient solutions to the vector equilibrium problems without the convexity assumption. Using nonsmooth analysis and the scalarization results, we provided the necessary conditions for weakly efficient solutions, Henig efficient solutions, globally efficient solutions, and superefficient solutions to vector equilibrium problems. By the assumption of convexity, we gave sufficient conditions for those solutions. As applications, we gave the necessary and sufficient conditions for corresponding solutions to vector variational inequalities and vector optimization problems.     

A preference-based approach to spanning trees and shortest paths problems****

Comparison of solutions in combinatorial problems is often based on an additive cost function inducing a complete order on solutions. We investigate here a generalization of the problem, where preferences take the form of a quasi-transitive binary relation defined on the solutions space. We first propose preference-based search algorithms for two classical combinatorial problems, namely the preferred spanning trees problem (a generalization of the minimum spanning tree problem) and the preferred paths problem (a generalization of the shortest path problem). Then, we introduce a very useful axiom for preference relations called independence. Using this axiom, we establish admissibility results concerning our preference-based search algorithms. Finally, we address the problem of dealing with non-independent preference relations and provide different possible solutions for different particular problems (e.g. lower approximation of the set of preferred solutions for multicriteria spanning trees problems, or relaxation of the independence axiom for interval-valued preferred path problems).     

Method of Characteristics for Optimal Control Problems and Conservation Laws

In this paper, notions of global generalized solutions of Cauchy problems for the Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation and for a quasilinear equation (a conservation law) are introduced in terms of characteristics of the Hamilton–Jacobi equation. Theorems on the existence and uniqueness of generalized solutions are proved. Representative formulas for generalized solutions are obtained and a relation between generalized solutions of the mentioned problems is justified. These results tie nonlinear scalar optimal control problems and one-dimensional stationary conservation laws.     

Fredholm boundary value problems for perturbed systems of dynamic equations on time scales

This paper offers conditions ensuring the existence of solutions of linear boundary value problems for systems of dynamic equations on time scales. Utilizing a method of Moore–Penrose pseudo‐inverse matrices leads to an analytical form of a criterion for the existence of solutions in a relevant space and, moreover, to the construction of a family of linearly independent solutions of such problems in a general case with the number of boundary conditions (defined by a linear vector functional) not coinciding with the number of unknowns of a system of dynamic equations. As an example of an application of the presented results, the problem of bifurcation of solutions of boundary value problems for systems of dynamic equations on time scales with a small parameter is considered.     

A reduced MFE formulation based on POD for the non-stationary conduction-convection problems

In this article, a reduced mixed finite element (MFE) formulation based on proper orthogonal decomposition (POD) for the non-stationary conduction-convection problems is presented. Also the error estimates between the reduced MFE solutions based on POD and usual MFE solutions are derived. It is shown by numerical examples that the results of numerical computation are consistent with theoretical conclusions. Moreover, it is shown that the reduced MFE formulation based on POD is feasible and efficient in finding numerical solutions for the non-stationary conduction-convection problems.     

Controllability of semilinear boundary problems with nonlocal initial conditions

The main purpose of this paper is the existence of solutions and controllability for semilinear boundary problems with nonlocal initial conditions. We show that the solutions are given by a variation of constants formula which allows us to study the exact controllability for this kind of problems with control and nonlinear terms at the boundary. The included application to a size structured population equation provides a motivation for abstract results.     

Estimates of solutions of initial-irregular oblique derivative problems for linear parabolic equations of second order with measurable coefficients

The initial-irregular oblique derivative boundary value problems for linear and nondivergence parabolic complex equations of second order in multiply connected domains are dealt with, where the coefficients of equations are measurable. Firstly the uniqueness of solutions for the above problems is introduced, and then somea priori estimates of solutions for the problems are given. By using the above estimates and the Leray-Schauder theorem, the existence of solutions of the initial-boundary value problems can be proved. The results are generalizations of corresponding theorems in literature. Project supported by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (Grant No. 19671006).     

A collocation method for parabolic quasilinear problems on general domains

A collocation method is described which obtains approximate solutions to quasilinear parabolic problems on a general two-dimensional domain. The method is best suited for obtaining robust solutions to smooth problems with the accuracy required in most engineering applications. The solution is obtained in terms of a finite element, B-spline basis. An interactive computer graphics system is used for both problem formulation and the subsequent display of selected results. The theoretical basis for the method is discussed, and some typical computational results are presented.     

System of vector quasi-variational inclusions with some applications

In this paper, we consider systems of vector quasi-variational inclusions which include systems of vector quasi-equilibrium problems for multivalued maps, systems of vector optimization problems and several other systems as special cases. We establish existence results for solutions of these systems. As applications of our results, we derive the existence results for solutions of system vector optimization problems, mathematical programs with systems of vector variational inclusion constraints and bilevel problems. Another application of our results provides the common fixed point theorem for a family of lower semicontinuous multivalued maps. Further applications of our results for existence of solutions of systems of vector quasi-variational inclusions are given to prove the existence of solutions of systems of Minty type and Stampacchia type generalized implicit quasi-variational inequalities. The results of this paper can be seen as extensions and generalizations of several known results in the literature.
