Sur les problèmes d'optimisation structurelle
2000
We discuss existence theorems for shape optimization and material distribution problems. The conditions that we impose on the unknown sets are continuity of the boundary, respectively a certain measurability hypothesis. peerReviewed
Optimal shape design and unilateral boundary value problems: Part II
2007
In the first part we give a general existence theorem and a regularization method for an optimal control problem where the control is a domain in R″ and where the system is governed by a state relation which includes differential equations as well as inequalities. In the second part applications for optimal shape design problems governed by the Dirichlet-Signorini boundary value problem are presented. Several numerical examples are included.
Shape optimization for monge-ampére equations via domain derivative
2011
In this note we prove that, if $\Omega$ is a smooth, strictly convex, open set in $R^n$ $(n \ge 2)$ with given measure, the $L^1$ norm of the convex solution to the Dirichlet problem $\det D^2 u=1$ in $\Omega$, $u=0$ on $\partial\Omega$, is minimum whenever $\Omega$ is an ellipsoid.
On the Ball-Marsden-Slemrod obstruction for bilinear control systems
2019
International audience; In this paper we present an extension to the case of $L^1$-controls of a famous result by Ball--Marsden--Slemrod on the obstruction to the controllability of bilinear control systems in infinite dimensional spaces.
Adjacent vertices can be hard to find by quantum walks
2018
Quantum walks have been useful for designing quantum algorithms that outperform their classical versions for a variety of search problems. Most of the papers, however, consider a search space containing a single marked element. We show that if the search space contains more than one marked element, their placement may drastically affect the performance of the search. More specifically, we study search by quantum walks on general graphs and show a wide class of configurations of marked vertices, for which search by quantum walk needs Ω(N) steps, that is, it has no speed-up over the classical exhaustive search. The demonstrated configurations occur for certain placements of two or more adjace…
Aggregation of Risk Level Assessments Based on Fuzzy Equivalence Relation
2017
The paper deals with the problem of aggregation of risk level assessments. We describe the technique of a risk level evaluation taking into account values of the risk level obtained for objects which are in some sense equivalent. For this purpose we propose to use the construction of a general aggregation operator based on the corresponding fuzzy equivalence relation. Numerical example of the investment risk level aggregation using an equivalence relation obtained on the basis of different macroeconomic factors for countries of one region is considered.
Exact, efficient, and complete arrangement computation for cubic curves
2006
AbstractThe Bentley–Ottmann sweep-line method can compute the arrangement of planar curves, provided a number of geometric primitives operating on the curves are available. We discuss the reduction of the primitives to the analysis of curves and curve pairs, and describe efficient realizations of these analyses for planar algebraic curves of degree three or less. We obtain a complete, exact, and efficient algorithm for computing arrangements of cubic curves. Special cases of cubic curves are conics as well as implicitized cubic splines and Bézier curves.The algorithm is complete in that it handles all possible degeneracies such as tangential intersections and singularities. It is exact in t…
Witness computation for solving geometric constraint systems
2014
International audience; In geometric constraint solving, the constraints are represented with an equation system F(U, X) = 0, where X denotes the unknowns and U denotes a set of parameters. The target solution for X is noted XT. A witness is a couple (U_W, X_W) such that F(U_W, X_W) = 0. The witness is not the target solution, but they share the same combinatorial features, even when the witness and the target lie on two distinct connected components of the solution set of F(U, X) = 0. Thus a witness enables the qualitative study of the system: the detection of over- and under-constrained systems, the decomposition into irreducible subsystems, the computation of subsystems boundaries. This …
General duality in vector optimization
1993
Vector minimization of a relation F valued in an ordered vector space under a constraint A consists in finding x 0 ∊ A w,0 ∊ Fx$0 such that w,0 is minimal in FA. To a family of vector minimization problemsminimize , one associates a Lagrange relation where ξ belongs to an arbitrary class Ξ of mappings, the main purpose being to recover solutions of the original problem from the vector minimization of the Lagrange relation for an appropriate ξ. This ξ turns out to be a solution of a dual vector maximization problem. Characterizations of exact and approximate duality in terms of vector (generalized with respect to Ξ) convexity and subdifferentiability are given. They extend the theory existin…
Coupled fixed point, F-invariant set and fixed point of N-order
2010
In this paper, we establish some new coupled fixed point theorems in complete metric spaces, using a new concept of $F$-invariant set. We introduce the notion of fixed point of $N$-order as natural extension of that of coupled fixed point. As applications, we discuss and adapt the presented results to the setting of partially ordered cone metric spaces. The presented results extend and complement some known existence results from the literature.
