Abstract The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of weak solutions for some classes of hemivariational problems in the Euclidean space ℝd (d ≥ 3). These hemivariational inequalities have a variational structure and, thanks to this, we are able to find a non-trivial weak solution for them by using variational methods and a non-smooth version of the Palais principle of symmetric criticality for locally Lipschitz continuous functionals, due to Krawcewicz and Marzantowicz. The main tools in our approach are based on appropriate theoretical arguments on suitable subgroups of the orthogonal group O(d) and their actions on the Sobolev space H1(ℝd). Moreover, under an additional hypotheses on the dimension d and in the presence of symmetry on the nonlinear datum, the existence of multiple pairs of sign-changing solutions with different symmetries structure has been proved. In connection to classical Schrödinger equations a concrete and meaningful example of an application is presented.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to study the existence of weak solutions for some classes of Schrödinger equations defined on the Euclidean space {\mathbb{R}^{d}} ({d\geq 3}). These equations have a variational structure and, thanks to this, we are able to find a non-trivial weak solution for them by using the Palais principle of symmetric criticality and a group-theoretical approach used on a suitable closed subgroup of the orthogonal group {O(d)}. In addition, if the nonlinear term is odd, and {d>3}, the existence of {(-1)^{d}+[\frac{d-3}{2}]} pairs of sign-changing solutions has been proved. To make the nonlinear setting work, a certain summability of the {L^{\infty}}-positive and radially symmetric potential term W governing the Schrödinger equations is requested. A concrete example of an application is pointed out. Finally, we emphasize that the method adopted here should be applied for a wider class of energies largely studied in the current literature also in non-Euclidean setting as, for instance, concave-convex nonlinearities on Cartan–Hadamard manifolds with poles.

Codazzi Equations

The fundamental theorem of Riemannian geometry asserts that a connected and simply-connected Riemannian space ω of ℝp can be isometrically immersed into the Euclidean space ℝp+q if and only if there exist tensors satisfying the Gauss–Ricci–Codazzi equations, in which case these immersions are uniquely determined up to isometries in ℝp+q. In this fashion, we can define a mapping which associates with these prescribed tensors the reconstructed submanifold. The purpose of this paper is twofold: under a smoothness assumption on the boundary of ω, we first establish an analogous result for the existence and uniqueness of a submanifold "with boundary" and then show that the mapping constructed in this fashion is locally Lipschitz-continuous with respect to the topology of the Banach spaces [Formula: see text].

Abstract The paper deals with a quasilinear Dirichlet problem involving a competing (p,q)-Laplacian and a convection term. Due to the lack of ellipticity, monotonicity and variational structure, the known methods to find a weak solution are not applicable. We develop an approximation procedure permitting to establish the existence of solutions in a generalized sense. If in place of competing (p,q)-Laplacian we consider the usual (p,q)-Laplacian, our results ensure the existence of weak solutions.

Optimal Impulsive Control

AbstractIn this paper we consider an impulsive extension of an optimal control problem with unbounded controls, subject to endpoint and state constraints. We show that the existence of an extended-sense minimizer that is a normal extremal for a constrained Maximum Principle ensures that there is no gap between the infima of the original problem and of its extension. Furthermore, we translate such relation into verifiable sufficient conditions for normality in the form of constraint and endpoint qualifications. Links between existence of an infimum gap and normality in impulsive control have previously been explored for problems without state constraints. This paper establishes such links in the presence of state constraints and of an additional ordinary control, for locally Lipschitz continuous data.

Volume Method

We consider a reaction–diffusion system of 2 × 2 equations modeling the spread of early tumor cells. The existence of weak solutions is ensured by a classical argument of Faedo–Galerkin method. Then, we present a numerical scheme for this model based on a finite volume method. We establish the existence of discrete solutions to this scheme, and we show that it converges to a weak solution. Finally, some numerical simulations are reported with pattern formation examples.

AbstractRecently, F. H. Clarke and Y. Ledyaev established a multidirectional mean value theorem applicable to lower semi-continuous functions on Hilbert spaces, a result which turns out to be useful in many applications. We develop a variant of the result applicable to locally Lipschitz functions on certain Banach spaces, namely those that admit a C1-Lipschitz continuous bump function.

The Mathematical Model

We study an optimal control problem for the mathematical model that describes steady non-isothermal creeping flows of an incompressible fluid through a locally Lipschitz bounded domain. The control parameters are the pressure and the temperature on the in-flow and out-flow parts of the boundary of the flow domain. We propose the weak formulation of the problem and prove the existence of weak solutions that minimize a given cost functional. It is also shown that the marginal function of this control system is lower semi-continuous.

For a Carnot group G of step two, we prove that H-convex functions are locally bounded from above. Therefore, H-convex functions on a Carnot group G of step two are locally Lipschitz continuous by using recent results by Magnani.
