Evolutionary Boussinesq model with nonmonotone friction and heat flux boundary conditions

In this paper we prove the existence and regularity of a solution to a two-dimensional system of evolutionary hemivariational inequalities which describes the Boussinesq model with nonmonotone friction and heat flux. We use the time retardation and regularization technique, combined with a regularized Galerkin method, and recent results from the theory of hemivariational inequalities.     

Proximal-gradient algorithms for fractional programming

In this paper, we propose two proximal-gradient algorithms for fractional programming problems in real Hilbert spaces, where the numerator is a proper, convex and lower semicontinuous function and the denominator is a smooth function, either concave or convex. In the iterative schemes, we perform a proximal step with respect to the nonsmooth numerator and a gradient step with respect to the smooth denominator. The algorithm in case of a concave denominator has the particularity that it generates sequences which approach both the (global) optimal solutions set and the optimal objective value of the underlying fractional programming problem. In case of a convex denominator the numerical scheme approaches the set of critical points of the objective function, provided the latter satisfies the Kurdyka-?ojasiewicz property.     

Analysis of an elasto-piezoelectric system of hemivariational inequalities with thermal effects

In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution for a dynamic electo-viscoelastic problem that describes a contact between a body and a foundation. We assume the body is made from thermoviscoelastic material and consider nonmonotone boundary conditions for the contact. We use recent results from the theory of hemivariational inequalities and the fixed point theory.     

A Unified Approach to Dynamic Contact Problems in Viscoelasticity

In this paper we consider mathematical models describing dynamic viscoelastic contact problems with the Kelvin–Voigt constitutive law and subdifferential boundary conditions. We treat evolution hemivariational inequalities which are weak formulations of contact problems. We establish the existence of solutions to hemivariational inequalities with different types of non-monotone multivalued boundary relations. These results are consequences of an existence theorem for second order evolution inclusions. In a particular case we deliver sufficient conditions under which the solution to a hemivariational inequality is unique. Finally, applications to several unilateral and bilateral problems in contact mechanics are provided.*Research supported in part by the State Committee for Scientific Research of the Republic of Poland (KBN) under Grants no. 2 P03A 003 25 and 4 T07A 027 26.     

EXISTENCE OF PERIODIC SOLUTIONS FOR A DIFFERENTIAL INCLUSION SYSTEMS INVOLVING THE p（t）-LAPLACIAN

We study a nonlinear periodic problem driven by the p(t)-Laplacian and having a nonsmooth potential (hemivariational inequalities). Using a variational method based on nonsmooth critical point theory for locally Lipschitz functions, we first prove the existence of at least two nontrivial solutions under the generalized subquadratic and then establish the existence of at least one nontrivial solution under the generalized superquadratic.     

A quasilinear Neumann problem with discontinuous nonlinearity

In this paper we study a quasilinear boundary value problem of Neumann type with discontinuous terms. In particular we consider a problem in which the p–Laplacian is involved. In order to prove the existence of solutions we replace this problem with a multivalued approximation of it and, using a variational approach for locally Lipschitz functionals, we prove two existence results for it.

Efficiency and Cramér-Rao type lnequalities for convex loss functions

A general method for obtaining inequalities of Cramér-Rao type for convex loss functions is presented. It is shown under rather weak assumptions that there are at least as many such inequalities as best unbiased estimators. More precisely, it is shown that an estimator is efficient with respect to an inequality of Cramér-Rao type if and only if it is the best in the class of unbiased estimators. Moreover, theorems of Blyth and Roberts (“Proceedings Sixth Berkeley Symposium on Math. Statist. Prob.,”) and of Blyth (Ann. Statist.2, 464–473) are extended. We make an use of methods of convex analysis and properties of convex integral functionals on Orlicz spaces.
