On the approximate controllability for fractional evolution hemivariational inequalities

In this paper, we focus on the approximate controllability of control systems described by a large class of fractional evolution hemivariational inequalities. Firstly, we introduce the concept of mild solutions and present the existence of mild solutions for this kind of problems. Next, we show the approximate controllability of the corresponding linear control system. Finally, the approximate controllability of the fractional evolution hemivariational inequalities is formulated and proved under some appropriate conditions. An example demonstrates the applicability of our results. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Strong convergence results for hemivariational inequalities

The purpose of this paper is to study a regularization method of solutions of ill-posed problems involving hemivariational inequalities in Banach spaces. Under the assumption that the hemivariational inequality is solvable, a strongly convergent approximation procedure is designed by means of the so-called Browder-Tikhonov regularization method. Our results generalize and extend the previously known theorems.     

Existence of solutions for hyperbolic hemivariational inequalities

In this paper we study a hyperbolic hemivariational inequality with a nonlinear, pseudomonotone operator depending on the derivative of an unknown function and a linear, monotone operator depending on an unknown function. Using the surjectivity result for L-pseudomonotone operators, an existence result for such inequalities is proved.     

A class of quasilinear elliptic hemivariational inequalities

1. IntroductionIn this paper we shall deal with the quasilinear elliptic hemivaxiational inequalitieswhere the symbol OJ designates Clarke's generalized gradiellt of a locally Lipschitz functionalJ (see [1, 2]). The discontinuity is assumed to be in the lower order term OJ(u(x)). If Ais a linear operator and the disconiinuity is monotone, the problems have been studied,for example, in [3-6]. If A is a linear opertor and the discolltinuity is nonmonotone, thiskind of problems have been inve…     

Existence of solutions for elliptic hemivariational inequalities

This paper is devoted to the existence of solutions concerning the Dirichlet problem for quasilinear elliptic hemivariational inequalities at the first eigenvalue. Using the notion of the generalized gradient of Clarke and the property of the first eigenfunction, some existence results of solutions have been proved.     

Multiple solutions for a class of elliptic hemivariational inequalities

The existence of multiple solutions to elliptic hemivariational inequality problems in bounded domains is investigated via a suitable nonsmooth version of a classical technique due to Struwe and a recent saddle point theorem for locally Lipschitz continuous functionals.     

A multiplicity result for hemivariational inequalities

An Existence Theorem for Wave‐Type Hyperbolic Hemivariational Inequalities

In this paper we prove the existence of solutions for a hyperbolic hemivariationalinequality of the form u″ + Bu + ∂j (u) ∋ f where B is a linear elliptic operator and ∂j is the Clarke subdifferential of a locally Lipschitz function j. Our result is based on the parabolic regularization method.     

On the Approximate Controllability for Hilfer Fractional Evolution Hemivariational Inequalities

The paper is concerned with the approximate controllability of some Hilfer fractional evolution hemivariational inequalities. Using two classes of operators and their fundamental properties, we derive sufficient conditions for approximate controllability of linear and semilinear controlled systems via a fixed point theorem for multivalued maps. Finally, an example is given to illustrate our theory.     

Semicoercive variational hemivariational inequalities

The aim of this paper is the mathematical study of a general class of semicoercive variational hemivariational inequalities introduced by P.D. Panagiotopoulos in order to formulate problems of mechanics involving nonconvex and nonsmooth energy function. Our approach is based on the asymptotic behavior of the functions which are involved in the variational problems.     

Homogenization of boundary hemivariational inequalities in linear elasticity

In this paper we consider a mathematical model describing static elastic contact problems with the Hooke constitutive law and subdifferential boundary conditions. We treat boundary hemivariational inequalities which are weak formulations of contact problems. We establish existence and uniqueness of solutions to hemivariational inequalities. Using the notion of H-convergence of elasticity tensors we investigate the limit behavior of the sequence of solutions to hemivariational inequalities.     

Existence of anti-periodic solutions for hemivariational inequalities

J. Y. Park and T. G. Ha [Nonlinear Anal., 2008, 68: 747-767; 2009, 71: 3203-3217] investigated the existence of anti-periodic solutions for hemivariational inequalities with a pseudomonotone operator. In this note, we point out that the methods used there are not suitable for the proof of the existence of anti-periodic solutions for hemivariational inequalities and we shall give a straightforward approach to handle these problems. The main tools in our study are the maximal monotone property of the derivative operator with antiperiodic conditions and the surjectivity result for L-pseudomonotone operators.     

Approximate controllability for semilinear retarded systems

This paper deals with the approximate controllability for the semilinear retarded control system. We will also derive the equivalent relation between controllability and stabilizability of the solution for the corresponding linear control system.     

Approximate controllability of differential inclusions in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, controllability for the system originating from semilinear functional differential equations in Hilbert spaces is studied. We consider the problem of approximate controllability of semilinear differential inclusion assuming that semigroup, generated by the linear part of the inclusion, is compact and under the assumption that the corresponding linear system is approximately controllable. By using resolvent of controllability Gramian operator and fixed point theorem, sufficient conditions have been formulated and proved. An example is presented to illustrate the utility and applicability of the proposed method.     

Three solutions for an obstacle problem for a class of variational–hemivariational inequalities

In this paper, we consider a class of obstacle problems for variational–hemivariational inequalities, by using nonsmooth version of three points critical theory in [S.A. Marano, D. Motreanu, On a three critical points theorem for non-differentiable functions and application to nonlinear boundary value problems, Nonlinear Anal. 48 (2002) 37–52], the existence of three solutions for the problem is obtained.     

Solvability and optimal controls for semilinear fractional evolution hemivariational inequalities

This paper is concerned with the control systems of semilinear fractional evolution hemivariational inequalities and their optimal controls in Banach space. Firstly, the existence of mild solutions is obtained and proved mainly by using a well‐known fixed point theorem of multivalued maps and the properties of generalized Clarke subdifferential. Then, by applying generally mild conditions of cost functionals, we investigate the existence results of the optimal controls for fractional differential evolution hemivariational inequalities. Finally, an example is given to demonstrate the applicability of the main results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multiplicity of solutions for a class of nonsymmetric eigenvalue hemivariational inequalities

The aim of this paper is to establish the influence of a non-symmetric perturbation for a symmetric hemivariational eigenvalue inequality with constraints. The original problem was studied by Motreanu and Panagiotopoulos who deduced the existence of infinitely many solutions for the symmetric case. In this paper it is shown that the number of solutions of the perturbed problem becomes larger and larger if the perturbation tends to zero with respect to a natural topology. Results of this type in the case of semilinear equations have been obtained in [1] Ambrosetti, A. (1974), A perturbation theorem for superlinear boundary value problems, Math. Res. Center, Univ. Wisconsin-Madison, Tech. Sum. Report 1446; and [2] Bahri, A. and Berestycki, H. (1981), A perturbation method in critical point theory and applications, Trans. Am. Math. Soc. 267, 1–32; for perturbations depending only on the argument.
