ANALYSIS OF AN ELASTO-PIEZOELECTRIC SYSTEM OF HEMIVARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES WITH THERMAL EFFECTS

In this paper we prove the existence and uniqueness of a weak solution for a dynamic electo-viscoetastic problem that describes a contact between a body and a foundation. We assume the body is made from thermoviscoelastic material and consider nonmonotone boundary conditions for the contact. We use recent results from the theory of hemivariational inequalities and the fixed point theory.

SEMILINEAR HEMIVARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES WITH STRONG RESONANCE AT INFINITY

A semilinear elliptic equation with strong resonance at infinity and with a nonsmooth potential is studied. Using nonsmooth critical point theory and developing some abstract minimax principles which complement and extend results in the literature, two results on existence are obtained.

ON NONLINEAR ELLIPTIC HEMIVARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES OF SECOND ORDER

In this paper, a nonlinear hemivariational inequality of second order with a forcing term of subcritical growth is studied. Using techniques from multivalued analysis and the theory of nonlinear operators of monotone type, an existence theorem for the Dirichlet boundary value problem is proved.

A VARIATIONAL-HEMIVARIATIONAL INEQUALITY IN CONTACT PROBLEM FOR LOCKING MATERIALS AND NONMONOTONE SLIP DEPENDENT FRICTION

We study a new class of elliptic variational-hemivariational inequalities arising in the modelling of contact problems for elastic ideally locking materials. The contact is described by the Signorini unilateral contact condition and the friction is modelled by the nonmonotone multivalued subdifferential condition which depends on the slip. The problem is governed by a nonlinear elasticity operator, the subdifferential of the indicator function of a convex set which describes the locking constraints and a nonconvex locally Lipschitz friction potential. The result on existence and uniqueness of solution to the inequality is shown. The proof is based on a surjectivity result for maximal monotone and pseudomonotone operators combined with the application of the Banach contraction principle.

Differential Evolution Hemivariational Inequalities with Anti-periodic Conditions

The goal of this paper is to deal with a new dynamic system called a differential evolution hemivariational inequality(DEHVI)which couples an abstract parabolic evolution hemivariational inequality and a nonlinear differential equation in a Banach space.First,by apply ing surjectivity result for pseudomonotone multivalued mappins and the properties of Clarke's subgradient,we show the nonempty of the solution set for the parabolic hemivariational inequality.Then,some topological properties of the solution set are established such as boundedness,closedness and convexity.Furthermore,we explore the upper semicontinuity of the solution mapping.Finally,we prove the solution set of the system(DEHVI)is nonempty and the set of all trajectories of(DEHVI)is weakly compact in C(I,X).

Subdifferential Representation of Homogeneous Functions and Extension of Smoothness in Banach spaces

In this paper, we mainly consider proximal subdifferentials of lower semicontinuous functions defined on real Hilbert space and Clarke＇s subdifferentials of locally Lipschitzian functions defined on Banach space respectively, and obtain the generalized Euler identity of homogenous functions. Then, by introducing a multifunction F, we extend the smoothness of sphere and differentiability of norm function in Banach space.

On null Controllability of fractional stochastic differential system with fractional Brownian motion

In this paper,we are dealing with the null controllability of fractional stochastic differential system with fractional Brownian motion.The null controllability for Sobolev-type Hilfer fractional stochastic differential system with fractional Brownian motion of Clarke’s subdifferential type is studied.The sufficient conditions for null controllability of fractional stochastic differential system with fractional Brownian motion and control on the boundary are established.Finally,an example is given to illustrate the obtained results.

Numerical analysis of history-dependent variational-hemivariational inequalities

In this paper,numerical analysis is carried out for a class of history-dependent variationalhemivariational inequalities by arising in contact problems.Three different numerical treatments for temporal discretization are proposed to approximate the continuous model.Fixed-point iteration algorithms are employed to implement the implicit scheme and the convergence is proved with a convergence rate independent of the time step-size and mesh grid-size.A special temporal discretization is introduced for the history-dependent operator,leading to numerical schemes for which the unique solvability and error bounds for the temporally discrete systems can be proved without any restriction on the time step-size.As for spatial approximation,the finite element method is applied and an optimal order error estimate for the linear element solutions is provided under appropriate regularity assumptions.Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

Sufcient Conditions for Error Bounds and Linear Regularity in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we study error bounds for lower semicontinuous functions defined on Banach space and linear regularity for finitely many closed subset in Banach spaces. By using Clarke＇s subd- ifferentials and Ekeland variational principle, we establish several sufficient conditions ensuring error bounds and linear regularity in Banach spaces.

The authors study evolution hemivariational inequalities of semilinear type containing a hysteresis operator. For such problems we establish an existence result by reducing the order of the equation and then by the use of the time-discretization procedure.
