A parallel splitting method is proposed for solving systems of coupled monotone inclusions in Hilbert spaces. Convergence is established for a wide class of coupling schemes. Unlike classical alternating algorithms, which are limited to two variables and linear coupling, our parallel method can handle an arbitrary number of variables as well as nonlinear coupling schemes. The breadth and flexib...

We consider a mathematical model of a high contrast two phase composite material with inclusions (fibres) close to touching in two space dimensions. The inclusions form a periodic array and have an optimal shape which is a curvilinear square with rounded-off angles (‘nearly square’ shape) described by a flattening parameter m. We derive an asymptotic formula for the effective conductivity Âδ of...

We explore convergence notions for bivariate functions that yield convergence and stability results for their maxinf (or minsup) points. This lays the foundations for the study of the stability of solutions to variational inequalities, the solutions of inclusions, of Nash equilibrium points of non-cooperative games and Walras economic equilibrium points, of fixed points, of solutions to inclusi...

In this paper, we extend the notions of ( , ρ)-invexity and generalized ( , ρ)invexity to the continuous case and we use these concepts to establish sufficient optimality conditions for the considered class of nonconvexmultiobjective variational control problems. Further, multiobjective variational control mixed dual problem is given for the considered multiobjective variational control problem...

A 3D slip-dependent frictional contact problem in elastostatics is discussed. We deliver a variational formulation as a mixed variational problem whose Lagrange multipliers set is solutiondependent. Then, the existence and the boundedness of the solutions is investigated. The proof is based on a recent result for an abstract mixed variational problem with solution-dependent set of Lagrange mult...

We apply a discrete network approximation to the problem of the effective conductivity of the high contrast, highly packed composites. The inclusions are irregularly (randomly) distributed in the hosting medium, so that a significant fraction of them may not participate in the conducting spanning cluster. For this class of inclusion distributions we derive a discrete network approximation and o...
