Abstract A finite-dimensional problem with several M-matrices and diagonal maximal monotone operators is studied. This problem includes variational inequalities with M-matrices as a partial case and appears, in particular, as a mesh approximation for a free boundary problem with several constraints and nonlinear relations. The existence of an unique solution for the problem is studied, as well as the convergence and geometric rate of the convergence for a class of the iterative methods, the Schwarz alternating-type methods among them. The application of the general results to a mesh scheme for a dam problem is considered. Parallel iterative methods are constructed on the basis of the domain decomposition, geometric convergence of these methods is justified.

AbstractIterative methods for finite-dimensional inclusions which arise in applying a finite-element or a finite-difference method to approximate state-constrained optimal control problems have been investigated. Specifically, problems of control on the right- hand side of linear elliptic boundary value problems and observation in the entire domain have been considered. The convergence and the rate of convergence for the iterative algorithms based on the finding of the control function or Lagrange multipliers are proved.

We modify the definition of lopsided convergence of bivariate functionals to obtain stability results for the min/sup points of some control problems. In particular, we develop a scheme of finite dimensional approximations to a large class of non-convex control problems.
