Abstract: | We discuss the existence and the dependence on functional parameters of solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a kind of the generalization of the balance of a membrane equation. Since we shall propose an approach based on variational methods, we treat our equation as the Euler-Lagrange equation for a certain integral functional J. We will not impose either convexity or coercivity of the functional. We develop a duality theory which relates the infimum on a special set X of the energy functional associated with the problem, to the infimum of the dual functional on a corresponding set Xd. The links between minimizers of both functionals give a variational principle and, in consequence, their relation to our boundary value problem. We also present the numerical version of the variational principle. It enables the numerical characterization of approximate solutions and gives a measure of a duality gap between primal and dual functional for approximate solutions of our problem. |
