The equation is compared with the resolvents of general monotone operators, and makes the geometric properties of differential equations expressed by subdifferentials clear. Hence, it can be expected to be useful in obtaining the steepest descents defined by the convex functionals in Banach spaces. Also, it gives a similar result to the Lagrange multiplier method under certain conditions.展开更多

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.展开更多

It is closely related to practical engineering problems. By utilizing the globality of ε-subdifferential and the theory of quasidifferential, and by introducing a new scheme which selects several search directions and consider them simultaneously at each iteration, a minimizing algorithm is derived. It is simple in structure, implemelltable, numerically efficient and has global convergence. The shortcomings of the existing algorithms are thus overcome both in theory and in application.展开更多
