Extremal solutions and strong relaxation for nonlinear multivalued systems with maximal monotone terms
2018
Abstract We consider differential systems in R N driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous second order differential operator, a maximal monotone term and a multivalued perturbation F ( t , u , u ′ ) . For periodic systems we prove the existence of extremal trajectories, that is solutions of the system in which F ( t , u , u ′ ) is replaced by ext F ( t , u , u ′ ) (= the extreme points of F ( t , u , u ′ ) ). For Dirichlet systems we show that the extremal trajectories approximate the solutions of the “convex” problem in the C 1 ( T , R N ) -norm (strong relaxation).
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.
Radial solutions of Dirichlet problems with concave-convex nonlinearities
2011
Abstract We prove the existence of a double infinite sequence of radial solutions for a Dirichlet concave–convex problem associated with an elliptic equation in a ball of R n . We are interested in relaxing the classical positivity condition on the weights, by allowing the weights to vanish. The idea is to develop a topological method and to use the concept of rotation number. The solutions are characterized by their nodal properties.
Multiple solutions with sign information for a (p,2)-equation with combined nonlinearities
2020
Abstract We consider a parametric nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the sum of a p -Laplacian and of a Laplacian (a ( p , 2 ) -equation) and with a reaction which has the competing effects of two distinct nonlinearities. A parametric term which is ( p − 1 ) -superlinear (convex term) and a perturbation which is ( p − 1 ) -sublinear (concave term). First we show that for all small values of the parameter the problem has at least five nontrivial smooth solutions, all with sign information. Then by strengthening the regularity of the two nonlinearities we produce two more nodal solutions, for a total of seven nontrivial smooth solutions all with sign informations. Our proofs use critical p…
An Efficient Algorithm for the Generation of Z-Convex Polyominoes
2014
We present a characterization of Z-convex polyominoes in terms of pairs of suitable integer vectors. This lets us design an algorithm which generates all Z-convex polyominoes of size n in constant amortized time.
Measure-free conditioning and extensions of additive measures on finite MV-algebras
2010
Using the well known representation of any finite MV-algebra as a product of finite MV-chains as factors, we obtain a representation of its canonical extension as a Girard algebra product of the canonical extensions of the MV-chain factors. Based on this representation and using the results from our last paper, we characterize the additive measures on any finite MV-algebra resp. the weakly and the strongly additive measures on its canonical Girard algebra extension, and that as convex combinations of the corresponding measures on the respective factors. After that we apply the results to measure-free defined conditional events which for this reason are considered as elements of the canonica…
Combinatorial aspects of L-convex polyominoes
2007
We consider the class of L-convex polyominoes, i.e. those polyominoes in which any two cells can be connected with an ''L'' shaped path in one of its four cyclic orientations. The paper proves bijectively that the number f"n of L-convex polyominoes with perimeter 2(n+2) satisfies the linear recurrence relation f"n"+"2=4f"n"+"1-2f"n, by first establishing a recurrence of the same form for the cardinality of the ''2-compositions'' of a natural number n, a simple generalization of the ordinary compositions of n. Then, such 2-compositions are studied and bijectively related to certain words of a regular language over four letters which is in turn bijectively related to L-convex polyominoes. In …
On positive P
2002
Continuing a line of research opened up by Grigni and Sipser (1992) and further pursued by Stewart (1994), we show that a wide variety of equivalent characterizations of P still remain equivalent when restricted to be positive. All these restrictions thus define the same class posP, a proper subclass of monP, the class of monotone problems in P. We also exhibit complete problems for posP under very weak reductions.
Mixed intersections of non quasi-analytic classes
2008
Given two semi-regular matrices M and M' and two open subsets O and O' [resp. two compact subsets K and K'] of Rr and Rs respectively, we introduce the spaces E(M×M')(O × O') and D(M×M')(O × O') [resp. D(M×M')(K × K')]. In this paper we study their locally convex properties and the structure of their elements. This leads in [10] to tensor product representations of these spaces and to some kernel theorems.
Vector-valued meromorphic functions
2002
A locally complete locally convex space E satisfies that every weakly meromorphic function defined on an open subset of \( \mathbb{C} \) with values in E is meromorphic if and only if E does not contain a countable product of copies of \( \mathbb{C} \). A characterization of locally complete spaces in the spirit of known characterizations of the (metric) convex compactness property is also given.
