HOMOCLINIC ORBITS FOR SECOND ORDER HAMILTONIAN SYSTEM WITH QUADRATIC GROWTH

Some existence and multiplicity of homoclinic orbit for second order Hamiltonian system x-a(t)x + Wx(t, x)=0 are given by means of variational methods, where the potential V(t, x)=-a(t)|s|2 + W(t, s) is quadratic in s at infinity and subquadratic in s at zero, and the function a(t) satisfies the growth condition lim→∞∫_t￣(t+l) a(t)dt=+∞,l∈R￣1.

Markovian Quadratic BSDEs with an Unbounded Sub-quadratic Growth

This paper is devoted to the solvability of Markovian quadratic backward stochastic differential equations(BSDEs for short)with bounded terminal conditions.The generator is allowed to have an unbounded sub-quadratic growth in the second unknown variable z.The existence and uniqueness results are given to these BSDEs.As an application,an existence result is given to a system of coupled forward-backward stochastic differential equations with measurable coefficients.

The Cauchy problem of Backward Stochastic Super-Parabolic Equations with Quadratic Growth

The paper is devoted to the Cauchy problem of backward stochastic superparabolic equations with quadratic growth.We prove two Ito formulas in the whole space.Furthermore,we prove the existence of weak solutions for the case of onedimensional state space,and the uniqueness of weak solutions without constraint on the state space.

Homogenization of Elliptic Problems with Quadratic Growth and Nonhomogenous Robin Conditions in Perforated Domains

This paper deals with the homogenization of a class of nonlinear elliptic problems with quadratic growth in a periodically perforated domain. The authors prescribe a Dirichlet condition on the exterior boundary and a nonhomogeneous nonlinear Robin condition on the boundary of the holes. The main difficulty, when passing to the limit, is that the solution of the problems converges neither strongly in L^2(Ω) nor almost everywhere in Ω. A new convergence result involving nonlinear functions provides suitable weak convergence results which permit passing to the limit without using any extension operator.Consequently, using a corrector result proved in [Chourabi, I. and Donato, P., Homogenization and correctors of a class of elliptic problems in perforated domains, Asymptotic Analysis, 92(1), 2015, 1–43, DOI: 10.3233/ASY-151288], the authors describe the limit problem, presenting a limit nonlinearity which is different for the two cases, that of a Neumann datum with a nonzero average and with a zero average.

Augmented Lagrangian Methods for Convex Matrix Optimization Problems

In this paper,we provide some gentle introductions to the recent advance in augmented Lagrangian methods for solving large-scale convex matrix optimization problems(cMOP).Specifically,we reviewed two types of sufficient conditions for ensuring the quadratic growth conditions of a class of constrained convex matrix optimization problems regularized by nonsmooth spectral functions.Under a mild quadratic growth condition on the dual of cMOP,we further discussed the R-superlinear convergence of the Karush-Kuhn-Tucker(KKT)residuals of the sequence generated by the augmented Lagrangian methods(ALM)for solving convex matrix optimization problems.Implementation details of the ALM for solving core convex matrix optimization problems are also provided.
