Optimal control of an evolutionary variational–hemivariational inequality model with new results in numerical analysis and control of the dynamic frictional contact problem

In this paper, we are concerned with numerical analysis on optimal control of a dynamic contact model. Our work builds on some existing results of this model. We derive a weak formulation, and present an approximate problem for the weak formulation by discretization in space. We prove that the approximate problem has a unique solution, which converges to the unique solution of the original problem. The existence of optimal solutions to the control problem is established based on a known continuous dependence result. We consider the numerical solutions of the optimal control problem and prove a convergence result of numerical solutions.

Existence results for variational–hemivariational inequality systems with nonlinear couplings

In this paper we investigate a system of coupled inequalities consisting of a variational–hemivariational inequality and a quasi-hemivariational inequality on Banach spaces. The approach is topological, and a wide variety of existence results is established for both bounded and unbounded constraint sets in real reflexive Banach spaces. Applications to Contact Mechanics are provided in the last section of the paper. More precisely, we consider a contact model with (possibly) multivalued constitutive law whose variational formulation leads to a coupled system of inequalities. The weak solvability of the problem is proved via employing the theoretical results obtained in the previous section. The novelty of our approach comes from the fact that we consider two potential contact zones and the variational formulation allows us to determine simultaneously the displacement field and the Cauchy stress tensor.

Fuzzy fractional delay differential inclusions driven by hemivariational inequalities in Banach spaces

This paper investigates a novel class of nonlinear dynamical fuzzy systems referred to as fuzzy fractional delay differential hemivariational inequalities (FFDDHVIs) in Banach spaces. These systems integrate fractional fuzzy differential inclusions with delay and hemivariational inequalities. The existence theorem for the HVIs is established based on the KKM theorem. Moreover, specific propositions are proved, covering the superpositional measurability and the upper semicontinuity for the HVIs. Next, by using the fixed points theorem, we establish the existence and compactness of mild solution sets for the FFDDHVIs under certain mild conditions. Finally, As an illustrative application, we investigate a frictional quasistatic contact problem for viscoelastic materials, in which the friction and contact conditions are described by the Clarke generalized gradient of nonconvex and nonsmooth functionals.

WELL-POSEDNESS OF A NONLINEAR INTERFACE PROBLEM DESCRIBED BY HEMIVARIATIONAL INEQUALITIES VIA BOUNDARY INTEGRAL OPERATORS

This paper is devoted to the well-posedness of a novel nonlinear interface problem on an unbounded domain with nonmonotone set-valued transmission conditions. This interface problem involves a nonlinear monotone partial differential equation in the interior domain and the Laplacian in the exterior domain. Such a scalar interface problem models nonmonotone frictional contact of elastic infinite media. The variational formulation of the interface problem leads to a hemivariational inequality (HVI), which however lives on the unbounded domain, and thus cannot be analyzed in a reflexive Banach space setting. Boundary integral methods lead to another HVI that is amenable to functional analytic methods using standard Sobolev spaces on the interior domain and Sobolev spaces of fractional order on the coupling boundary. Broadening the scope of the paper, we consider extended real-valued HVIs augmented by convex extended real-valued functions. Under a smallness hypothesis, we provide existence and uniqueness results and, moreover, establish a stability result for extended real-valued HVIs with respect to the extended real-valued function as a parameter. Based on the latter general stability result, we provide various stability results for the interface problem, as well as the stability of a related bilateral obstacle interface problem with respect to the obstacles.

On optimal control in a nonlinear interface problem described by hemivariational inequalities

Abstract This article is devoted to the existence of optimal controls in various control problems associated with a novel nonlinear interface problem on an unbounded domain with non-monotone set-valued transmission conditions. This interface problem involves a nonlinear monotone partial differential equation in the interior domain and the Laplacian in the exterior domain. Such a scalar interface problem models non-monotone frictional contact of elastic infinite media. The variational formulation of the interface problem leads to a hemivariational inequality (HVI), which, however, lives on the unbounded domain, and thus cannot be analyzed in a reflexive Banach space setting. Boundary integral methods lead to another HVI that is amenable to functional analytic methods using standard Sobolev spaces on the interior domain and Sobolev spaces of fractional order on the coupling boundary. Broadening the scope of this article, we consider extended real-valued HVIs augmented by convex extended real-valued functions. Under a smallness hypothesis, we provide existence and uniqueness results; moreover, we establish a stability result with respect to the extended real-valued function as a parameter. Based on the latter stability result, we prove the existence of optimal controls for four kinds of optimal control problems: distributed control on the bounded domain, boundary control, simultaneous boundary-distributed control governed by the interface problem, and control of the obstacle driven by a related bilateral obstacle interface problem.

Variational–hemivariational system for contaminant convection–reaction–diffusion model of recovered fracturing fluid

Abstract This work is devoted to study the convection–reaction–diffusion behavior of contaminant in the recovered fracturing fluid which flows in the wellbore from shale gas reservoir. First, we apply various constitutive laws for generalized non-Newtonian fluids, diffusion principles, and friction relations to formulate the recovered fracturing fluid model. The latter is a partial differential system composed of a nonlinear and nonsmooth stationary incompressible Navier-Stokes equation with a multivalued friction boundary condition, and a nonlinear convection–reaction–diffusion equation with mixed Neumann boundary conditions. Then, we provide the weak formulation of the fluid model which is a hemivariational inequality driven by a nonlinear variational equation. We establish existence of solutions to the recovered fracturing fluid model via a surjectivity theorem for multivalued operators combined with an alternative iterative method and elements of nonsmooth analysis.

Analysis of quasi-variational–hemivariational inequalities with applications to Bingham-type fluids

In this paper we study the sensitivity analysis of elliptic quasi-variational–hemivariational inequalities with constraint. The upper semicontinuity property of the solution map with respect to a parameter is established. An application to the steady-state incompressible Navier–Stokes equation with mixed boundary conditions in a model for a generalized Newtonian fluid of Bingham-type is provided. The boundary conditions represent a generalization of the no leak condition, and a multivalued and nonmonotone version of a nonlinear Navier–Fujita frictional slip condition. Furthermore, a sensitivity result is proved for the weak formulation of the model when all the data are subjected to perturbations. Finally, for the Bingham-type fluids, an optimal control problem is studied.

On inverse variational–hemivariational inequalities and its regularization

In this article, we propose the inverse variational-hemivariational inequalities problems (IVHIP) and its Tikhonov regularization theory. We establish the existence results for IVHIP and its regularized problems. Moreover, we also discuss the nonemptiness, boundedness and the asymptotic analysis of regularized solutions. Furthermore, we also investigate the existence results of the regularized solutions on the unbounded constrained through the coercive conditions. Several examples are given to support the new findings.

Existence of projected solutions for quasi-variational hemivariational inequality

Abstract In this short article, we prove the existence of projected solutions to a class of quasi-variational hemivariational inequalities with non-self-constrained mapping, which generalizes the results of Allevi et al. (Quasi-variational problems with non-self map on Banach spaces: Existence and applications, Nonlinear Anal. Real World Appl. 67 (2022), 103641, DOI: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.nonrwa.2022.103641.)

Well-posedness of evolutionary differential variational–hemivariational inequalities and applications to frictional contact mechanics

In this paper, we study the well-posedness of a class of evolutionary variational–hemivariational inequalities coupled with a nonlinear ordinary differential equation in Banach spaces. The proof is based on an iterative approximation scheme showing that the problem has a unique mild solution. In addition, we established the continuity of the flow map with respect to the initial data. Under the general framework, we consider two new applications for modeling of frictional contact for viscoelastic materials. In the first application, we consider Coulomb’s friction with normal compliance, and in the second, normal damped response. The structure of the friction coefficient μ is new with motivation from geophysical applications in earth sciences with dependence on an external state variable α and the slip rate | u · τ | .

Furthermore, we obtained the conclusion that the presented control system has optimal control under some mild conditions. Finally, an example is given to illustrate the theory.

Unbounded perturbation of an evolution hemivariational inequality

We consider a perturbed hemivariational inequality. The perturbation is a multivalued mapping the values thereof are not assumed to be convex or bounded. We prove the existence of a solution to our problem and establish a relaxation — approximation result for it through the use of a localized version of Hausdorff-Lipschitzness adapted to the unbounded case.

A class of time-optimal feedback control for fractional neutral evolution hemivariational inequalities with fixed delay

ABSTRACT In this paper, we study a class of optimal feedback control for a neutral fractional system with hemivariational inequalities. Initially, we derive some existence results of mild solutions for the system by applying the Marteli's fixed point theorem of multivalued maps, properties of generalized Clarke's subdifferential and semigroup operators. Then, by using the Filippov theorem and the Cesari property, a new set of sufficient conditions are formulated to ensure the existence results of a feasible pair for the feedback control systems. Also, we apply our main results to obtain the optimal feedback control pair. Further, we investigate the time-optimal feedback control for our control system. In the end, an example is given to illustrate our theory.

On second order differential inclusion driven by quasi-variational–hemivariational inequalities

In this paper we investigate an evolution problem (SDQHVI) which constitutes of the second order differential inclusion driven by a quasi-variational–hemivariational inequality (QHVI) with perturbation operator in Banach spaces. Unlike the existing literature on differential inclusions, on the one hand, the second order differential operator is not assumed to be compact; on the other hand, the solvability of the inequality is proved under non-coercive condition. More precisely, first, it is shown that the solution set of the QHVI with perturbation operator is nonempty, bounded, closed and convex under the KKM theorem and the Minty formulation. Then, an associated multivalued map with the solution set of the QHVI with perturbation operator is introduced, and we prove that it is upper semicontinuous and measurable. Finally, by utilizing Kakutani–Fan–Glicksberg fixed point theorem, a weak topology technique and properties of strong continuous cosine operators, we prove the existence of mild solutions for SDQHVI.
