The orthogonal metal cutting process for a controlled contact tool is simulated using a limit analysis theorem. The basic principles are stated in the form of a primal optimization problem with an objective function subjected to constraints of the equilibrium equation, its static boundary conditions and a constitutive inequality. An Eulerian reference co-ordinate is used to describe the steady ...

This work presents a priori and a posteriori error analyses of a new multiscale hybridmixed method (MHM) for an elliptic model. Specially designed to incorporate multiple scales into the construction of basis functions, this finite element method relaxes the continuity of the primal variable through the action of Lagrange multipliers, while assuring the strong continuity of the normal component...

We present a first set of results concerning stellar evolution of rotating low-mass stars. Our models include fully consistent transport of angular momentum and chemicals due to the combined action of rotation induced mixing (according to Maeder & Zahn 1998) and element segregation. The analysis of the effects of local variations of molecular weight due to the meridional circulation on the tran...

Since the theory of ideals plays an important role in the theory of semirings, in this paper we will make an intensive study of the notions of primal and weakly primal ideals in commutative semirings with an identity 1. It is shown that these notions inherit most of the essential properties of the primal and weakly primal ideals of a commutative ring with non-zero identity. Also, the relationsh...

Motivated by recent applications in robust optimization and in sign-constrained linearquadratic control, we study in this paper a new class of optimization problems called separated continuous conic programming (SCCP). Focusing on a symmetric primal-dual pair, we develop a strong duality theory for the SCCP. Our idea is to use discretization to connect the SCCP and its dual to two ordinary coni...

We give new regularity conditions for convex optimization problems in separated locally convex spaces. We completely characterize the stable strong and strong Fenchel-Lagrange duality. Then we give similar statements for the case when a solution of the primal problem is assumed as known, obtaining complete characterizations for the so-called total and, respectively, stable total Fenchel-Lagrang...

In linear programming it is known that an appropriate nonhomogenious Farkas Lemma leads to a short proof of the strong duality results for a pair of primal and dual programs. By using a corresponding generalized Farkas lemma we give a similar proof of the strong duality results for semidefinite programs under constraint qualifications. The proof includes optimality conditions. The same approach...

Abstract In this paper we have investigated a fuzzy linear programming problem with fuzzy quantities which are LR triangular fuzzy numbers. The given linear programming problem is rearranged according to the satisfactory level of constraints using breaking point method. By considering the constraints, the arranged problem has been investigated for all optimal solutions connected with satisf...
