We consider two-dimensional and axially symmetric critical-state problems in type-II superconductivity, and show that these problems are equivalent to evolutionary quasi-variational inequalities.

AbstractWe consider a nonlinear parametric Robin problem. In the reaction, there are two terms, one critical and the other locally defined. Using cut-off techniques, together with variational tools and critical groups, we show that, for all small values of the parameter, the problem has at least three nontrivial smooth solutions all with sign information, which converge to zero in {C^{1}(\bar{\Omega})} as the parameter {\lambda\to 0^{+}}.

In this paper, we investigate the existence of solution for differential systems involving a ϕ−Laplacian operator which incorporates as a special case the well-known p−Laplacian operator. In this purpose, we use a variational method which relies on Szulkin’s critical point theory. We obtain the existence of solution when the corresponding Euler–Lagrange functional is coercive.

Abstract:

We consider solutions of Lagrangian variational problems with linear constraints on the derivative. More precisely, given a smooth distribution D ⊂ TM on M and a time-dependent Lagrangian L defined on D, we consider an action functional L defined on the set ΩPQ(M, D) of horizontal curves in M connecting two fixed submanifolds P, Q ⊂ M. Under suitable assumptions, the set ΩPQ(M, D) has the structure of a smooth Banach manifold and we can thus study the critical points of L. If the Lagrangian L satisfies an appropriate hyper-regularity condition, we associate to it a degenerate Hamiltonian H on TM* using a general notion of Legendre transform for maps on vector bundles. We prove that the solutions of the Hamilton equations of H are precisely the critical points of L. In the particular case where L is given by the quadratic form corresponding to a positive-definite metric on D, we obtain the well-known characterization of the normal geodesics in sub-Riemannian geometry (see [8]). By adding a potential energy term to L, we obtain again the equations of motion for the Vakonomic mechanics with non-holonomic constraints (see [6]).

Abstract:

This paper outlines a mathematical approach to steady periodic waves which propagate with constant velocity and without change of form on the surface of a three-dimensional expanse of fluid which is at rest at infinite depth and moving irrotationally under gravity, bounded above by a frictionless elastic sheet. The elastic sheet is supposed to have gravitational potential energy, bending energy proportional to the square integral of its mean curvature (its Willmore functional), and stretching energy determined by the position of its particles relative to a reference configuration. The equations and boundary conditions governing the wave shape are derived by formulating the problem, in the language of geometry of surfaces, as one for critical points of a natural Lagrangian, and a proof of the existence of solutions is sketched. This article is part of the theme issue ‘Modelling of sea-ice phenomena’.

Abstract:

Two non-trivial solutions for semilinear elliptic resonant problems are obtained via the Lyapunov—Schmidt reduction and the three-critical-points theorem. The difficulty that the variational functional does not satisfy the Palais—Smale condition is overcome by taking advantage of the reduction and a careful analysis of the reduced functional.

Abstract We consider a nonlinear periodic problem driven by a nonlinear nonhomogeneous differential operator and a Carathéodory reaction term f (t; x) that exhibits a (p – 1)-superlinear growth in x 2 R near 1 and near zero. A special case of the differential operator is the scalar p-Laplacian. Using a combination of variational methods based on the critical point theory with Morse theory (critical groups), we show that the problem has three nontrivial solutions, two of which have constant sign (one positive, the other negative).

This paper studies a class of superlinear damped vibration equations with nonlocal boundary conditions on time scales by using the calculus of variations. We consider the Cerami condition, while the nonlinear term does not satisfy Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition such that the critical point theory could be applied. Then we establish the variational structure in an appropriate Sobolev’s space, obtain the existence of infinitely many large energy solutions. Finally, two examples are given to prove our results.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this paper we initiate the study of second-order variational problems in {L^{\infty}}, seeking to minimise the {L^{\infty}} norm of a function of the hessian. We also derive and study the respective PDE arising as the analogue of the Euler–Lagrange equation. Given {\mathrm{H}\in C^{1}(\mathbb{R}^{n\times n}_{s})}, for the functional\mathrm{E}_{\infty}(u,\mathcal{O})=\|\mathrm{H}(\mathrm{D}^{2}u)\|_{L^{\infty}% (\mathcal{O})},\quad u\in W^{2,\infty}(\Omega),\mathcal{O}\subseteq\Omega,{}the associated equation is the fully nonlinear third-order PDE\mathrm{A}^{2}_{\infty}u:=(\mathrm{H}_{X}(\mathrm{D}^{2}u))^{\otimes 3}:(% \mathrm{D}^{3}u)^{\otimes 2}=0.{}Special cases arise when {\mathrm{H}} is the Euclidean length of either the full hessian or of the Laplacian, leading to the {\infty}-polylaplacian and the {\infty}-bilaplacian respectively. We establish several results for (1) and (2), including existence of minimisers, of absolute minimisers and of “critical point” generalised solutions, proving also variational characterisations and uniqueness. We also construct explicit generalised solutions and perform numerical experiments.

Abstract:

Abstract In this work, we propose a parameter estimation framework for fracture propagation problems. The fracture problem is described by a phase-field method. Parameter estimation is realized with a Bayesian approach. Here, the focus is on uncertainties arising in the solid material parameters and the critical energy release rate. A reference value (obtained on a sufficiently refined mesh) as the replacement of measurement data will be chosen, and their posterior distribution is obtained. Due to time- and mesh dependencies of the problem, the computational costs can be high. Using Bayesian inversion, we solve the problem on a relatively coarse mesh and fit the parameters. In several numerical examples our proposed framework is substantiated and the obtained load-displacement curves, that are usually the target functions, are matched with the reference values.

Abstract:

Problems with a variational structure are ubiquitous throughout the physical sciences and have a distinguished scientific history. Constrained variational problems have been much less studied, particularly the theory of stability, which determines which solutions are physically realizable. In this paper, we develop stability exchange results appropriate for parameter-dependent calculus of variations problems with two particular features: either the parameter appears in the boundary conditions, or there are isoperimetric constraints. In particular, we identify an associated distinguished bifurcation diagram, which encodes the direction of stability exchange at folds. We apply the theory to a twisted elastic loop, which can naturally be formulated as a calculus of variations problem with both isoperimetric constraints and parameter-dependent boundary conditions. In combination with a perturbation expansion that classifies certain pitchfork bifurcations as sub- or super-critical, the distinguished diagram for the twisted loop provides a classification of the stability properties of all equilibria. In particular, an unanticipated sensitive dependence of stability properties on the ratio of twisting to bending stiffness is revealed.

We prove that, even if the coefficient [Formula: see text] makes the variational approach more difficult, if it satisfies “good” growth assumptions then at least one critical point exists also when the nonlinear term [Formula: see text] has a suitable supercritical growth. Moreover, if the functional is even, it has infinitely many critical levels. The proof, which exploits the interaction between two different norms on [Formula: see text], is based on a weak version of the Cerami–Palais–Smale condition and a suitable intersection lemma which allow us to use a Mountain Pass Theorem.

Abstract:

AbstractIn this paper, a higher order nonlinear difference equation is considered. By using the critical point theory, we obtain the existence and multiplicity for solutions of difference Dirichlet boundary value problems and give some new results. The proof is based on the variational methods and linking theorem.

Abstract:

In this paper, we are concerned with the Kirchhoff-type variable-order fractional Laplacian problem with critical variable exponent. By using constraint variational method and quantitative deformation lemma we show the existence of one least energy solution, which is strictly larger than twice of that of any ground state solution.

Abstract:

Abstract By using an abstract critical point result for differentiable and parametric functionals due to B. Ricceri, we establish the existence of infinitely many classical solutions for fractional differential equations subject to boundary value conditions and impulses. More precisely, we determine some intervals of parameters such that the treated problems admit either an unbounded sequence of solutions, provided that the nonlinearity has a suitable oscillatory behaviour at infinity, or a pairwise distinct sequence of solutions that strongly converges to zero if a similar behaviour occurs at zero. No symmetric condition on the nonlinear term is assumed. Two examples are then given.

Abstract:

The critical points of the generalized complementary energy variation principles are clarified. An open problem left by Hellinger and Reissner is solved completely. A pure complementary energy (involving the Kirchhoff type stress only) is constructed, and a complete duality theory in geometric nonlinear system is established. We prove that the well-known generalized Hellenger-Reissner’s energy L(u,s) is a saddle point functional if and only if the Gao-Strang gap function is positive. In this case, the system is stable and the minimum potential energy principle is equivalent to a unique maximum dual variational principle. However, if this gap function is negative, then L(u,s) is a so-called ∂+-critical point functional. In this case, the system has two extremum complementary principles. An interesting trinity theorem for nonconvex variational problem is discovered, which can be used to study nonlinear bifurcation problems, phase transitions, variational inequality, and other things. In order to study the shear effects in frictional post-buckling problems, a new second order 2-D nonlinear beam model is developed. Its total potential is a double-well energy. A stability criterion for post-buckling analysis is proposed, which shows that the minimax complementary principle controls a stable buckling state. The unilaterial buckling state is controled by a minimum complementary principle. However, the maximum complementary principle controls the phase transitions.
