About the finite convergence of the proximal point algorithm
1988
We study the finite convergence property of the proximal point algorithm applied to the partial inverse, with respect to a subspace, of the subdifferential of a polyhedral convex function. Using examples we show how sufficient conditions providing the finite convergence can be realized and we give a case with non finite termination.
An implicit non-linear time dependent equation has a solution
1991
has a solution (u, u, w). The operators &s(l) and a(t) are maximal monotone from a real Hilbert space V to its dual such that &(r) + 9?(r) are V-coercive and a(r) are not degenerate. A linear compact injection i embeds V to a real Banach space W and each d(r) is the strongly monotone subdifferential of a continuous convex function #(I, ) on W. The function f is square integrable. The functions W(r): V+ W* are Lipschitzian as V*-valued functions. Section 3 contains the theorems. The main result is Theorem 2. Theorems 3 and 4 demonstrate the smoothing effect on the initial condition. Their proofs are given in Section 4. They exploit the methods of di Benedetto and Showalter, [4], who studied …
Strong Converse Results for Linking Operators and Convex Functions
2020
We consider a family B n , ρ c of operators which is a link between classical Baskakov operators (for ρ = ∞ ) and their genuine Durrmeyer type modification (for ρ = 1 ). First, we prove that for fixed n , c and a fixed convex function f , B n , ρ c f is decreasing with respect to ρ . We give two proofs, using various probabilistic considerations. Then, we combine this property with some existing direct and strong converse results for classical operators, in order to get such results for the operators B n , ρ c applied to convex functions.
Approximation by uniform domains in doubling quasiconvex metric spaces
2020
We show that any bounded domain in a doubling quasiconvex metric space can be approximated from inside and outside by uniform domains.
A density problem for Sobolev spaces on Gromov hyperbolic domains
2017
We prove that for a bounded domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb R^n$ which is Gromov hyperbolic with respect to the quasihyperbolic metric, especially when $\Omega$ is a finitely connected planar domain, the Sobolev space $W^{1,\,\infty}(\Omega)$ is dense in $W^{1,\,p}(\Omega)$ for any $1\le p<\infty$. Moreover if $\Omega$ is also Jordan or quasiconvex, then $C^{\infty}(\mathbb R^n)$ is dense in $W^{1,\,p}(\Omega)$ for $1\le p<\infty$.
Relaxation of Quasilinear Elliptic SystemsviaA-quasiconvex Envelopes
2002
We consider the weak closure WZof the set Z of all feasible pairs (solution, flow) of the family of potential elliptic systems div s0 s=1 s(x)F 0 s(ru(x )+ g(x)) f(x) =0i n; u =( u1;:::;um)2 H 1 0 (; R m ) ; =( 1;:::;s 0 )2 S; where R n is a bounded Lipschitz domain, Fs are strictly convex smooth functions with quadratic growth and S =f measurable j s(x )=0o r 1 ;s =1 ;:::;s0 ;1(x )+ +s0 (x )=1 g .W e show that WZis the zero level set for an integral functional with the integrand QF being the A-quasiconvex envelope for a certain functionF and the operator A = (curl,div) m . If the functions Fs are isotropic, then on the characteristic cone (dened by the operator A) QF coincides with the A-p…
L∞ estimates in optimal mass transportation
2016
We show that in any complete metric space the probability measures μ with compact and connected support are the ones having the property that the optimal transportation distance to any other probability measure ν living on the support of μ is bounded below by a positive function of the L∞ transportation distance between μ and ν. The function giving the lower bound depends only on the lower bound of the μ-measures of balls centered at the support of μ and on the cost function used in the optimal transport. We obtain an essentially sharp form of this function. In the case of strictly convex cost functions we show that a similar estimate holds on the level of optimal transport plans if and onl…
On Γ-convergence of pairs of dual functionals
2011
Abstract The paper considers a slightly modified notion of the Γ-convergence of convex functionals in uniformly convex Banach spaces and establishes that under standard coercitivity and growth conditions the Γ-convergence of a sequence of functionals { F j } to F ˜ implies that the corresponding sequence of dual functionals { F j ⁎ } converges in an analogous sense to the dual to F ˜ functional F ˜ ⁎ .
Stackelberg equilibrium with many leaders and followers. The case of zero fixed costs
2017
Abstract I study a version of the Stackelberg game with many identical firms in which leaders and followers use a continuous cost function with no fixed cost. Using lattice theoretical methods I provide a set of conditions that guarantee that the game has an equilibrium in pure strategies. With convex costs the model shows the same properties as a quasi-competitive Cournot model. The same happens with concave costs, but only when the number of followers is small. When this number is large the leaders preempt entry. I study the comparative statics and the limit behavior of the equilibrium and I show how the main determinants of market structure interact. More competition between the leaders …
Consistent shakedown theorems for materials with temperature dependent yield functions
2000
The (elastic) shakedown problem for structures subjected to loads and temperature variations is addressed in the hypothesis of elastic-plastic rate-independent associative material models with temperature-dependent yield functions. Assuming the yield functions convex in the stress/temperature space, a thermodynamically consistent small-deformation thermo-plasticity theory is provided, in which the set of state and evolutive variables includes the temperature and the plastic entropy rate. Within the latter theory the known static (Prager's) and kinematic (König's) shakedown theorems - which hold for yield functions convex in the stress space - are restated in an appropriate consistent format…
