A STABILITY CRITERION FOR DELAY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH IMPULSE EFFECTS J.O. ALZABUT Department of Mathematics and Computer Science C ¸ ankaya University, 06530 Ankara, Turkey E-mail: [email protected] In this paper, we prove that if a delay differential equation with impulse effects of the form x0 (t) = A(t)x(t) + B(t)x(t − τ ) , t 6= θi , ∆x(θi ) = Ci x(θi ) + Di x(θi−j ), i ∈ N, verifies a Perron condition then its trivial solution is uniformly asymptotically stable. Keywords: Impulse; Delay; Adjoint; Perron; Uniform asymptotic stability.

1. Introduction and Preliminaries Delay differential equations with impulse effects can suitably model various evolutionary processes that exhibit both delay and impulse characteristics. In particular, they provide a natural description of the motion of several real world processes which, on one hand, depends on the processes history that often turns out to be the cause of phenomena substantially affecting the motion and, on other hand, is subject to short time perturbations whose duration is almost negligible. Such processes are often investigated in various fields of science and technology, such as physics, population dynamics, ecology, biological systems, optimal control, etc., see Refs. 1–11 and reference quoted therein. It is well known in the theory of ordinary differential equations (see e.g. Ref. 12 [p. 120]) that if for every continuous function f (t) bounded on [0, ∞), the solution of the equation x0 (t) = A(t)x(t) + f (t), satisfying x(0) = 0 is bounded on [0, ∞), then the trivial solution of the corresponding homogeneous equation

x0 (t) = A(t)x(t) is uniformly asymptotically stable. This result is referred as Perron theorem Ref. 13. Later, Perron theorem has been extended to delay differential equations Ref. 12 [p. 371]. Indeed, it was shown that if for every continuous function f (t) bounded on [0, ∞), the solution of the equation x0 (t) = A(t)x(t) + B(t)x(t − τ ) + f (t), t > 0 satisfying x(t) = 0 for t ∈ [−τ, 0] is bounded on [0, ∞), then the trivial solution of the equation x0 (t) = A(t)x(t) + B(t)x(t − τ ), is uniformly asymptotically stable. For more related materials, see the papers Refs. 14,15. In this paper, we carry out the above result to a type of linear delay differential equations with impulse effects. Indeed, we consider equation of the form x0 (t) = A(t)x(t) + B(t)x(t − τ ),

t 6= θi ,

∆x(θi ) := x(θi+ ) − x(θi ) = Ci x(θi ) + Di x(θi−j ), i ∈ N,

and show that its trivial solution is uniformly asymptotically stable under a Perron condition. Our equation differs from the previous ones, see also Refs. 16–19, not only it is more general but also it allows delay terms in the impulse conditions. Such impulse conditions are more natural for delay differential equations. With regard to equation (4) it is assumed that (i) A and B are n×n continuous bounded matrices, τ > 0 is a positive real number; (ii) Ci and Di are n × n bounded matrices, j ∈ N is fixed; (iii) {θi } is an increasing sequence of real numbers with lim θi = ∞. i→∞

We also assume that det(I + Ci ) 6= 0 and that there exist a positive real numbers ρ and ν such that kDi k ≤ ρ and k(I +Ci )−1 k ≤ ρ and θi −θi−j ≤ ν for all i ∈ N. k · k denotes any matrix norm. Definition 1.1. Equation (4) is said to verify Perron condition if for every continuous bounded on [0, ∞) function f (t) and every bounded sequence

satisfying x(t) = 0 for t ∈ [−τ, 0] is bounded on t ∈ [0, ∞). By a solution of (6) on an interval J, we mean a function x defined on J such that x is continuous on J except possibly at θi ∈ J for i ∈ N, where x(θi+ ) : lim+ x(t) and x(θi− ) := lim− x(t) exist, x(θi− ) := x(θi ), and that x t→θi

t→θi

satisfies (6) on J. Clearly, if f ≡ 0 and βi = 0 for all i ∈ N then (6) reduces to (4). Let P LC([−τ, 0], Rn ) denote the set of piecewise left continuous functions φ : [−τ, 0] → Rn having a finite number of discontinuity points of the first kind. Under the above conditions, one can easily show that for given σ ≥ 0 and φ ∈ P LC([−τ, 0], Rn ) there is a unique solution x(t) of (6) such that x(t + σ) = φ(t),

t ∈ [−τ, 0].

2. Preparatory Lemmas The following lemmas, see Ref. 12 for delay differential equations without impulse effects, are essential in proving the main result of this paper. Lemma 4.1 is needed to define an adjoint equation of (4), Lemma 2.2 provides representation of solutions, and Lemma 2.3 is concerned with the boundedness of fundamental matrices of (4). Consider the equation y 0 (t) = −AT (t)y(t) − B T (t + τ )y(t + τ ),

We claim that equation (9) is an adjoint of (4) with respect to a function resembles the one used by Halanay in Ref. 12 [p. 371]. It turns out that this function has the form Z t+τ y T (s)B(s)x(s − τ )ds < y(t), x(t) >= y T (t)x(t) + t

n(t)≤k 0 In this section we assume that the hypothesis (2) holds. In this case we obtain immediately the following comparison result for time periodic viscosity sub/supersolutions. Proposition 3.1. Let u, v ∈ BU C(IRN × IR) be bounded time periodic viscosity subsolution, resp. supersolution of (1) where H ∈ C(IRN ×IR×IRN ) is time periodic. We assume that (2), (3), (5) hold (with γR > 0, ∀ R > 0). Then we have u(x, t) ≤ v(x, t), ∀(x, t) ∈ IRN × IR. Moreover, the hypothesis (3) can be replaced by u ∈ W 1,∞ (IRN × IR) or v ∈ W 1,∞ (IRN × IR). Proof. By Proposition 2.1 we have eγT k(u(·, T ) − v(·, T ))+ kL∞ (IRN ) ≤ k(u(·, 0) − v(·, 0))+ kL∞ (IRN ) , where γ = γR0 > 0, R0 = max(kukL∞ (IRN ×IR) , kvkL∞ (IRN ×IR) ). By periodicity we have u(·, T ) − v(·, T ) = u(·, 0) − v(·, 0) and since eγT > 1 we deduce that (u(x, 0)−v(x, 0))+ ≤0, ∀x∈IRN. The conclusion follows by Proposition 2.1.

Time Periodic Viscosity Solutions of Hamilton-Jacobi Equations

Corollary 3.1. Under the assumptions of Proposition 3.1 there is at most one time periodic viscosity solution of (1). We investigate now the existence of time periodic viscosity solution. Proposition 3.2. Let u0 ∈ BU C(IRN ) and assume that (2), (3), (5), (6) hold (with γR > 0, ∀ R > 0). Denote by u ∈ C(IRN × [0, +∞[) the unique viscosity solution of (7) and let un (x, t) = u(x, t + nT ), (x, t) ∈ IRN × [0, T ] for n ≥ 0. Then (un )n converges uniformly on IRN × [0, T ] towards a time periodic viscosity solution of (1). Proof. By hypothesis (6) we deduce that −M (resp. M ) is subsolution (resp. supersolution ) of (7) and by Proposition 2.1 we have −M −k(−u0 −M )+ k∞ ≤u(x, t)≤k(u0 −M )+ k∞ +M, (x, t) ∈ IRN ×[0, +∞[. Let γ=γR0 > 0 where R0 =kukL∞ (IRN ×]0,+∞[) . Consider v(x, t)=u(x, t+T ), ∀(x, t) ∈ IRN ×[0, +∞[. By the periodicity of H we deduce that v is viscosity solution of ∂t v + H(x, v, Dv) = f (t), (x, t) ∈ IRN × [0, +∞[. By using Proposition 2.1 we have ku(·, t + T ) − u(·, t)kL∞ (IRN ) = kv(·, t) − u(·, t)kL∞ (IRN ) ≤ e−γt kv(·, 0) − u(·, 0)kL∞ (IRN ) ≤ 2e−γt kukL∞ (IRN ×]0,+∞[) . In particular, by taking t = s + nT , s ∈ [0, T ] we deduce that kun+1 (·, s) − un (·, s)kL∞ (IRN ) ≤ 2e−nT γ kukL∞ (IRN ×]0,+∞[) , and therefore there is w ∈ C(IRN × IR), T periodic such that un → w|IRN ×[0,T ] uniformly on IRN × [0, T ]. By using the stability result (see Ref. 2,6) we deduce that w is viscosity solution of (1). 4. Time Periodic Viscosity Solution when γR = 0 In this section we investigate the more general case of hamiltonians H satisfying (8). In the case of coercif hamiltonians i.e., hamiltonians verifying (4), Theorem 1.1 gives a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of time periodic viscosity solution. Proof. (of Theorem 1.1) Assume that there is a bounded viscosity solution V of (9). Since the hamiltonian satisfies (4) we can prove as usual that V is a Lipschitz function. For any α > 0 take 1 Mα = kV kL∞ (IRN ) + (C + kf kL∞ (IR) ) α

and observe that for any (x, t) ∈ IRN × IR we have α(−Mα − V (x)) + H(x, −Mα , 0) ≤ f (t) ≤ α(Mα − V (x)) + H(x, Mα , 0). Therefore we can construct the stationary viscosity solution Vα of α(Vα − V (x)) + H(x, Vα , DVα ) = hf i, x ∈ IRN , and the time periodic viscosity solution vα of α(vα − V (x)) + ∂t vα + H(x, vα , Dvα ) = f (t), (x, t) ∈ IRN × IR.

(17)

In fact we have Vα = V , ∀α > 0 and by using Corollary 2.1 we obtain |vα (x, t)−V (x)| = |vα (x, t)−Vα (x)|≤kf −hf ikL1 (0,T ) , ∀(x, t) ∈ IRN ×IR, (18) which implies that (vα )α is uniformly bounded kvα kL∞ (IRN ×IR) ≤ kV kL∞ (IRN ) + kf − hf ikL1 (0,T ) , ∀α > 0. In order to extract a subsequence which converges uniformly on compact sets we prove that (vα )α are uniformly Lipschitz on IRN × IR. For this note that wα (x, t) = vα (x, t + h), (x, t) ∈ IRN × IR is time periodic viscosity solution of α·(wα −V (x))+∂t wα +H(x, wα , Dwα ) = f (t+h), (x, t) ∈ IRN ×IR. (19) By using Corollary 2.1 we have Z t vα (x, t + h) − vα (x, t) ≤ sup (f (σ + h) − f (σ)) dσ s≤t

Therefore the functions (vα )α>0 are uniformly Lipschitz and we can extract a subsequence which converges uniformly on compact sets of IRN × IR to a bounded Lipschitz function v. By using the stability result for continuous viscosity solutions we deduce that v is a viscosity solution of (1). The converse implication follows in a similar way. Corollary 4.1. Let H = H(x, z, p) be a hamiltonian verifying (8), (4), (5) and f be a continuous time periodic function. Assume that there is M > 0 such that H(x, −M, 0) ≤ hf i ≤ H(x, M, 0), ∀x ∈ IRN .

Then there is a bounded Lipschitz time periodic viscosity solution v of (1) satisfying −M −kf −hf ikL1 (0,T ) ≤ v(x, t) ≤ M +kf −hf ikL1 (0,T ) , ∀(x, t) ∈ IRN ×IR. 5. Asymptotic Behaviour for Large Frequencies Consider f : IR → IR a T periodic continuous function and denote by fn the Tn periodic functions given by fn (t) = f (nt), ∀t ∈ IR. Assume that the hamiltonian H satisfies (2), (3), (5), (6). Under the above hypotheses, for any n ≥ 1, there is a unique Tn periodic viscosity solution un of ∂t un + H(x, un , Dun ) = fn (t), (x, t) ∈ IRN × IR.

(22)

A natural question arising in this context concerns the convergence of the sequence (un )n . This convergence can be justified at least formally by introducing the fast variable s = nt and by using the asymptotic expansion 1 un (x, t) = u0 (x) + u1 (x, nt) + ... (23) n Plugging the ansatz (23) into (22) we obtain 1 1 ∂s u1 (x, s)+...+H(x, u0 (x)+ u1 (x, s)+..., Du0 (x)+ Du1 (x, s)+...) = f (s). n n Since un is Tn periodic with respect to t, we are looking for a T periodic function u1 (x, s) with respect to s. By integration over [0, T ] one gets Z 1 T 1 1 H(x, u0 (x)+ u1 (x, s)+..., Du0 (x)+ Du1 (x, s)+...)ds=hf i, x ∈ IRN. T 0 n n After passing to the limit for n → +∞ we deduce formally that limn→+∞ un = u0 , where u0 solves the cell problem (see Ref. 7) H(x, u0 , Du0 ) = hf i, x ∈ IRN . Theorem 5.1. Let H = H(x, z, p) be a hamiltonian satisfying (2), (3), (5), (6), where f is a T periodic continuous function. Denote by U , un the stationary, resp. time periodic viscosity solution of (9), resp. (22). Then the sequence (un )n converges uniformly on IRN × IR towards U and we have kun − U kL∞ (IRN ×IR) ≤

1 kf − hf ikL1 (0,T ) , ∀n ≥ 1. n

Proof. We introduce also wn (x, t) = un (x, nt ), (x, t) ∈ IRN × IR, which is T periodic. We deduce that wn satisfies in the viscosity sense n ∂t wn + H(x, wn , Dwn ) = f (t), (x, t) ∈ IRN × IR,

We suppose that A : D(A) ⊆ X → X and B : D(B) ⊆ Y → Y generate two C0 -semigroups, {SA (t) : X → X; t ≥ 0} and {SB (t) : Y → Y ; t ≥ 0} respectively, and K is a nonempty and locally closed subset in X × Y. We recall that the subset K ⊆ X × Y is locally closed if for each ζ = (ξ, η) ∈ K there exists ρ > 0 such that DX×Y (ζ, ρ) ∩ K is closed, where, as usual, DX×Y (ζ, ρ) denotes the closed ball with center ζ and radius ρ in X × Y. Each subset in X × Y which is either open or closed is locally closed. Moreover, each subset K in X × Y which is closed relative to some open subset D, i.e. for which there exists a closed subset C ⊂ X × Y such that K = C ∩ D, is locally closed in X × Y. We are interested in finding sufficient conditions in order that for each (ξ, η) ∈ K there exists T > 0 such that (1) has at least one mild solution (u, v) : [ 0, T ] → K. As an application, we include a comparison result for a reaction-diffusion system. For a systematic study of problems of this kind see Ref. 1. 2. Preliminaries and the Main Results We assume familiarity with the basic concepts and results concerning infinitesimal generators of C0 -semigroups and mild solutions for Cauchy problems in Banach spaces and we refer to Refs. 2 and 3 for details. In order to prove our theorems we need the following technical results, concerning the Hausdorff measure of necompactness and uniqueness functions . Let (X, k · k) be a Banach space and B(X) the family of all bounded subsets of X. Definition 2.1. The function β : B(X) → R+ , defined by   n(ε)   [ D(xi , ε) β(B) = inf ε > 0; ∃ x1 , x2 , ...xn(ε) ∈ X, B ⊆   i=1

is called the Hausdorff measure of necompactness on X. Remark 2.1. We have β(B) = 0 if and only if B is relatively compact set. So, if X is finite dimensional β ≡ 0, because in this case the class of relatively compact subsets of X coincides with B(X). Lemma 2.1. Let X be a separable Banach space and {Fm ; m ∈ N } a subset in L1 (τ, T ; X ) for which there exists l ∈ L1 (τ, T ; R+ ) such that kFm (s)k ≤ l(s)

Then {un ; n ∈ N } is relatively compact. For details, see Ref. 5. We recall now: Definition 2.2. A function ω : R+ → R+ which is continuous, nondecreasing and the only solution of the Cauchy problem ½ 0 x (t) = ω(x(t)) x(0) = 0. is x ≡ 0 is called a uniqueness function. Remark 2.2. If ω : R+ → R+ is a uniqueness function, then, for each k > 0, kω is a uniqueness function too. Lemma 2.3. Let ω : R+ → R+ be a uniqueness function and let (γk )k be strictly decreasing to 0. Let (xk )k be a bounded sequence of measurable functions, from [ 0, T1 ] to R+ , such that Z t xk (t) ≤ γk + ω(xk (s)) ds, 0

Definition 2.3. The set K ⊆ X is viable with respect to A + f if for each ξ ∈ K, there exists T > 0 such that the Cauchy problem (2) has at least one mild solution u : [ 0, T ] → K. Definition 2.4. We say that η ∈ X is a A-tangent to K at ξ ∈ K if lim inf h↓0

In other words, η ∈ X is A-tangent to K at ξ ∈ K if for each δ > 0 and each neighborhood V of 0 there exist h ∈ (0, δ) and p ∈ V such that S(h)ξ + h(η + p) ∈ K.

The set of all A-tangent elements to K at ξ ∈ K is denoted by TKA (ξ). We notice that if A ≡ 0, then TKA (ξ) is the contingent cone at ξ ∈ K in the sense of Bouligand6 . Proposition 2.1. A necessary and sufficient condition in order that η ∈ TKA (ξ) is 1 lim inf dist h↓0 h

For the proof see Ref. 5. Definition 2.5. Let A : D(A) ⊂ X → X be the infinitesimal generator of a C0 -semigroup {S(t) : X → X ; t ≥ 0} and f : K → X be a given function. We say that A + f is locally of β-compact type if, for each ξ ∈ K, there exist ρ > 0, a continuous function ` : R+ → R+ and a uniqueness function ω : R+ → R+ , such that β(S(t)f (C)) ≤ `(t)ω(β(C)) for each t > 0 and C ⊆ D(ξ, ρ) ∩ K. We present now some necessary and sufficient conditions in order that the set K be viable with respect to A + f. These conditions improve the main results in Refs. 7 and 8. Theorem 2.1. Let X be a Banach space, A : D(A) ⊂ X → X the infinitesimal generator of a C0 -semigroup {S(t) : X → X; t ≥ 0}, K a nonempty and locally closed subset in X and f : K → X such that A + f is locally of β-compact type. Then K is viable with respect to A + f if and only if for each ξ ∈ K, the next tangency condition is satisfied:

Remark 2.3. Under the general hypotheses of Theorem 2.1, K is viable with respect to A + f if and only if for each ξ ∈ K, we have f (ξ) ∈ TKA (ξ). Theorem 2.2. Let A : D(A) ⊂ X → X be the infinitesimal generator of a compact C0 -semigroup, {S(t) : X → X; t ≥ 0}, K a nonempty and locally closed subset in X and f : K → X a continuous function. Then K is viable with respect to A + f if and only if, for each ξ ∈ K, the tangency condition (5) is satisfied. Since Theorem 2.2 is a consequence of Theorem 2.1 and the necessity of the latter is obvious, we will show next how to prove the sufficiency. Lemma 2.4. Let X be a Banach space, A : D(A) ⊂ X → X the infinitesimal generator of a C0 -semigroup, {S(t) : X → X; t ≥ 0 }, K a nonempty and locally closed subset in X and f : K → X a continuous function satisfying the condition (5). Let ξ ∈ K be arbitrary and let r > 0 be such that D(ξ, r) ∩ K is closed. Then, there exist ρ ∈ (0, r ] and T > 0 such that, for each ε ∈ (0, 1), there exist σ : [ 0, T ] → [ 0, T ] nondecreasing, θ : { (t, s); 0 ≤ s < t ≤ T } → [ 0, T ] measurable, g : [ 0, T ] → X Riemann integrable and u : [ 0, T ] → X continuous such that: (i) (ii) (iii) (iv)

Definition 2.6. A 4-uple (σ, θ, g, u ) which satisfies (i)-(vi) in Lemma 2.4 is called an ε-approximate solution of the Cauchy problem (2) on [ 0, T ]. Proof. Here we include only a sketch of proof. The details will appear in a forthcoming paper. Let ξ ∈ K be arbitrary and let r > 0 be such that D(ξ, r)∩K is closed. Let us choose ρ ∈ (0, r ], N > 0, M ≥ 1 and a > 0 such that kf (x)k ≤ N for every x ∈ D(ξ, ρ)∩K and kS(t)kL(X) ≤ M eat for every t ≥ 0. Since t 7→ S(t)ξ is continuous at t = 0 and S(0)ξ = ξ, we may find a

sufficiently small T > 0 such that sup kS(t)ξ − ξk + T M eaT (N + 1) ≤ ρ. t∈[ 0,T ]

First, we show the existence of an ε-approximate solution on an interval [0, δ] with δ∈(0, T ]. As, for every ξ∈K, f satisfies the tangency condition (5), from Proposition 2.1, it follows that for each ε ∈ (0, 1) there exist δ∈(0, T ] Z δ and p ∈ X with kpk ≤ ε, such that S(δ)ξ + S(δ − s)f (ξ)ds + δp ∈ K. 0

Let σ : [0, δ] → [0, δ], g : [0, δ] → X and θ : {(t, s); 0 ≤ s < t ≤ δ} → [0, δ] be given by σ(s) = 0, g(s) = p, θ(t, s) = 0 and let u : [0, δ] → X be Z t defined by u(t) = S(t)ξ + S(t − s)f (ξ) ds + tp, for each t ∈ [0, δ]. Simple 0

computational arguments show that (σ, θ, g, u) is an ε-approximate solution to the Cauchy problem (2) on the interval [ 0, δ ]. In the second step we will prove the existence of an ε-approximate solution for (2) defined on the whole interval [ 0, T ]. Let us denote by D(c) the set D(c) = [ 0, c ] × {(t, s); 0 ≤ s < t ≤ c} × [ 0, c ] × [ 0, c ], with c ≥ 0 and by S the set of all ε-approximate solutions to the problem (2), defined on D(c), with c ≤ T . On S we introduce a preorder “¹”as follows: we say that (σ1 , θ1 , g1 , u1 ), defined on D(c1 ), and (σ2 , θ2 , g2 , u2 ), defined on D(c2 ), satisfy (σ1 , θ1 , g1 , u1 ) ¹ (σ2 , θ2 , g2 , u2 ) if c1 ≤ c2 , σ1 (t) = σ2 (t), g1 (t) = g2 (t) for t ∈ [ 0, c1 ] and θ1 (t, s) = θ2 (t, s) for each 0 ≤ s < t ≤ c1 . Let us define the function N : S → R ∪ {+∞} by N ((σ, θ, g, u)) = c, where D(c) is the domain of definition of (σ, θ, g, u). Then N satisfies the hypotheses of Brezis–Browder Theorem 2.1.1, in Ref. 9, so S contains at least one N maximal element (σ, θ, g, u) whose domain is D(c). Finally, one may prove by contradiction that c = T. Proof. Sufficiency of Theorem 2.1. We will prove that there exists at least one sequence (εn )n ↓ 0 for which the sequence ((σn , θn , gn , un ))n , has the property that (un )n is uniformly convergent on [ 0, T ] to a function u : [ 0, T ] → K which is a mild solution of (2). Let ξ ∈ K be arbitrary and let r > 0 be such that D(ξ, r) ∩ K be closed. Let us choose ρ ∈ ( 0, r ], N > 0, M ≥ 1 a > 0 and T > 0 as in Lemma 2.4. Since A + f is locally of β-compact type, diminishing ρ ∈ (0, r ] and T > 0 if necessary, there exist ` : R+ → R+ continuous and a uniqueness function ω : R+ → R+ such that β(S(t)f (C) ) ≤ `(t)ω(β(C) ), for each C ⊆ D(ξ, ρ ) ∩ K, t ≥ 0 and all conclusions of Lemma 2.4 be satisfied. Let (εn )n ↓ 0 be a sequence in (0, 1) and let ((σn , θn , gn , un ))n be a sequence of εn -approximate solutions defined on [ 0, T ] whose existence is

for each n ∈ N and t ∈ [ 0, T ]. Let Y ⊆ X be the closed subspace spanned by Y1 ∪ Y2 ∪ Y3 , where   Y1 = {S(r)ξ; r ∈ [ 0, T ] ∩ Q}, Y = {S(r)f (un (σn (s))); n = 1, 2, . . . , r, s ∈ [ 0, T ] ∩ Q, s ≤ r},  2 Y3 = {S(θn (r, s))gn (s); n = 1, 2, . . . , r, s ∈ [ 0, T ] ∩ Q, s ≤ r}. Clearly Y is separable. Since (t, x) 7→ S(t)x, f and un are continuous, and gn Z t S(t−s)f (un (σn (s)))ds, are integrable (n = 1, 2, ..., ) it follows that S(t)ξ, 0 Z t S(θn (t, s))gn (s)ds and thus un (t) belong to Y for n=1, 2, ... and 0

From Remark 2.2, ω0 is a uniqueness function, so, by Lemma 2.3, diminishing T, if necessary, we have limk xk (t) = 0, uniformly for t ∈ [ 0, T ], which means that limk β( {un (t); n ≥ k} ) = 0, uniformly for t ∈ [ 0, T ]. Now, we can apply Lemma 2.2 to obtain that for each t ∈ [ 0, T ], {un (t); n ∈ N } is relatively compact in X. But, Theorem 2.3.1, p.45 in Ref. 10 proves that there exists u ∈ C( [ 0, T ]; X ) such that, on a sequence at least, we have limn un (t) = u(t), uniformly for t ∈ [ 0, T ]. Taking into account of (ii) and (vi) we get limn un (σn (t) ) = u(t), uniformly for t ∈ [ 0, T ] and u(t) ∈ D(ξ, ρ) ∩ K for each t ∈ [ 0, T ], because D(ξ, ρ) ∩ K is closed. Passing to the limit in (6) and using (iii), we obtain Z t u(t) = S(t − s) + S(t − s)f (u(s) ) ds, 0

for each t ∈ [ 0, T ]. We may now pass to a viability result referring to a reaction-diffusion system of the form (1). Let (X, k·kX ) and (Y, k·kY ) two real Banach spaces, K ⊆ X × Y, F : K → X, G : K → Y, and ξ ∈ X, η ∈ Y. We assume that the operators A : D(A) ⊆ X → X and B : D(B) ⊆ Y → Y are the generators of two C0 -semigroups. Definition 2.7. The set K is viable with respect to (A + F, B + G) if for each (ξ, η) ∈ K there exists T > 0 such that (1) has at least one mild solution (u, v) : [ 0, T ] → K. Remark 2.4. The system (1) can be written as a semilinear equation in a product space. Let X = X × Y endowed with the norm k · k, defined by k(x, y)k = kxkX + kykY , for each (x, y) ∈ X . Let A = (A, B) : D(A) ⊆ X → X be defined by A(x, y) = ( Ax, By ) for each (x, y) ∈ D(A) and let F : X → X , F(z) = ( F (z), G(z) ) for each z = (x, y) ∈ K. Hence, the system (1) can be written as ½ 0 z (t) = Az(t) + F(z(t)) (7) z(0) = ζ, where ζ = (ξ, η). In the hypotheses above, A is the infinitesimal generator of a C0 -semigroup { S(t) : X → X ; t ≥ 0}, given by S(t)(ξ, η) = (SA (t)ξ, SB (t)η) for each t ≥ 0 and (ξ, η) ∈ X . It is obvious that K is viable with respect to (A + F, B + G) in sense of Definition 2.7 if and only if K is viable with respect to A + F in sense of Definition 2.3, which means that for each ζ ∈ K, there exists T > 0 such that the system (7) has at least one mild solution z : [0, T ] → K.

Definition 2.8. We say that (A + F, B + G) is locally of β-compact type if F, G are continuous functions and there exist ` : R+ → R+ continuous and a uniqueness function ω : R+ → R+ such that for each ζ = (ξ, η) ∈ K, there exists ρ > 0 such that for each set C ⊆ DX×Y (ζ, ρ) ∩ K and for each t ≥ 0, we have βX×Y ( (SA (t)F (C), SB (t)G(C) ) ) ≤ `(t)ω(βX×Y (C) ). Remark 2.5. One may easily see that (A + F, B + G) is locally of βcompact type if and only if A + F is locally of β-compact type in sense of Definition 2.5. Let us introduce the following hypotheses which we will use in the sequel: (H1 ) A : D(A) ⊆ X → X, B : D(B) ⊆ Y → Y are the generators of two C0 -semigroups, {SA (t) : X→X; t ≥ 0} and {SB (t) : Y →Y ; t ≥ 0} respectively; (H2 ) K ⊆ X × Y is nonempty and locally closed; (H3 ) (A + F, B + G) is locally of β-compact type. The main viability result is: Theorem 2.3. Assume that (H1 ), (H2 ), (H3 ) are satisfied. The necessary and sufficient condition in order that K be viable with respect to (A + F, B + G) is that, for every (ξ, η) ∈ K lim inf h↓0

1 dist((SA (h)ξ + hF (ξ, η), SB (h)η + hG(ξ, η)); K) = 0. h

(8)

In view of Remark 2.4, the Theorem 2.3 can be reformulated as: Theorem 2.4. Assume that (H1 ), (H2 ), (H3 ) are satisfied. The necessary and sufficient condition in order that K be viable with respect to A + F is that, for every ζ ∈ K lim inf h↓0

1 dist(S(h)ζ + hF(ζ); K ) = 0. h

(9)

Hence the proof of this theorem follows from the Theorem 2.1. We conclude this section with a nonautonomous variant of Theorem 2.3. Definition 2.9. Let A : D(A) ⊆ X → X and B : D(B) ⊆ Y → Y be the infinitesimal generators of two C0 -semigroups {SA (t) : X → X ; t ≥ 0} and {SB (t) : Y → Y ; t ≥ 0} respectively, K a nonempty subset in R × X × Y, F : K → X and G : K → Y two given functions. We say that (A+F, B +G) is locally of β-compact type with respect to the second argument, i.e. with

Let us assume that (A + F, B + G) is locally of β-compact type with respect the second argument. Then a necessary and sufficient condition in order that K be viable with respect to (A + F, B + G) is that, for each (τ, ξ, η) ∈ K lim inf h↓0

Using the viability result of Theorem 2.5, we will prove a sufficient conditions in order that, for each (ξ, η) ∈ L2 (Ω) × L2 (Ω), with 0 ≤ ξ(x) ≤ u e(τ, x) and η(x) ≥ ve(τ, x)

(13)

a.e. for x ∈ Ω, the predator-pray system (2.1) has at least one solution (u, v) : R+ × Ω → R+ × R+ , such that, for each t ∈ [ τ, ∞), we have 0 ≤ u(t, x) ≤ u e(t, x) and v(t, x) ≥ ve(t, x) a.e. for x ∈ Ω. Let K ⊆ R × L2 (Ω) × L2 (Ω) be defined by © ª K = (t, u, v) ∈ R+ × L2 (Ω) × L2 (Ω); (u, v) satisfy (16) below . 0 ≤ u(x) ≤ u e(t, x) and v(x) ≥ ve(t, x)

a.e. for x ∈ Ω. Theorem 3.1. Let Ω ⊆ Rn , n = 1, 2, ..., be a bounded domain with C 2 boundary Γ, let f : R × R → R+ , g : R × R → R− , fe : R × R → R+ and ge : R × R → R− be continuous such that (11) are satisfied. Assume that for each (u0 , v0 ) ∈ R × R, u 7→ fe(u, v0 ) and v 7→ ge(u0 , v) are nondecreasing, u 7→ ge(u, v0 ) and v 7→ fe(u0 , v) are nonincreasing and there exist the constants ci ≥ 0, i = 1, ..., 5 such that |fe(u, v)| ≤ c1 |u| + c2 , and |e g (u, v)| ≤ c3 |u| + c4 |v| + c5 for each (u, v) ∈ R × R. Let (u0 , v0 ) ∈ L2 (Ω) × L2 (Ω) with u0 (x) ≥ 0 and v0 (x) ≥ 0 a.e. for x ∈ Ω and let (e u, ve) : R+ → L2 (Ω)×L2 (Ω) be a global mild solution of (12) with u e(t, x) ≥ 0 for each t ≥ 0 and a.e. for x ∈ Ω. Let K be defined by (15). Then, for each (τ, ξ, η) ∈ K, the problem (2.1) has at least one global mild solution (u, v) : [ τ, ∞) → L2 (Ω) × L2 (Ω) satisfying for each τ < δ < T : (i) u, v ∈ C([ τ, T ]; L2 (Ω)) ∩ L2 (δ, T ; H 2 (Ω)) ∩ W 1,1 (δ, T ; H01 (Ω)) ; (ii) for each t ∈ [ τ, ∞), (t, u(t), v(t)) ∈ K. Proof. Since (i) is well known – see Theorem 11.6.1 in Ref. 3, p. 265, it remains to prove (ii). So, we have to show first that K is viable, in R+ × L2 (Ω) × L2 (Ω), with respect to (δ1 ∆ − pI + f, δ2 ∆ + qI + g) and second that every mild solution (u, v) : [ τ, T ) → L2 (Ω) × L2 (Ω), satisfying (t, u(t), v(t)) ∈ K for each t ∈ [ τ, T ), can be extended to a global one obeying the very same constraints. Let us denote by X = L2 (Ω). We rewrite (2.1) and (12) as an evolution systems in X. Let us define A : D(A) ⊆ X → X and B : D(B) ⊆ X → X by D(A) = H01 (Ω) ∩ H 2 (Ω) and Au = δ1 ∆u − pu for u ∈ D(A)

and respectively by D(B) = H01 (Ω) ∩ H 2 (Ω) and Bv = δ2 ∆v + qv for v ∈ D(B). Let us define F : X × X → X and G : X × X → X by F (u, v)(x) = f (u(x), v(x)) and G(u, v)(x) = g(u(x), v(x)) respectively, for each (u, v) ∈ e by the same relations with F and X × X and a.e. for x ∈ Ω, and Fe and G e G but with f instead of f and ge instead of g. With the notations above, the problem (2.1) can be rewritten as the abstract evolution system ½ 0 u (t) = Au(t) + F (u(t), v(t)) (17) v 0 (t) = Bv(t) + G(u(t), v(t)), while (12) takes the abstract form ( u0 (t) = Au(t) + Fe(u(t), v(t)) e v 0 (t) = Bv(t) + G(u(t), v(t)).

e are wellSince fe and ge are continuous and have sublinear growth, Fe and G defined, continuous and have sublinear growth. From the very same reason F and G are well-defined, continuous and have sublinear growth too. Let e ⊆ R+ × L2 (Ω) × L2 (Ω) be defined by K © ª e = (t, u, v) ∈ R+ × L2 (Ω) × L2 (Ω); (u, v) satisfy (20) below K (19) u(x) ≤ u e(t, x), and v(x) ≥ ve(t, x)

a.e. for x ∈ Ω. To prove that K is viable with respect to (A + F, B + G) e is viable with respect to (A + F, B + G). This is it suffices to show that K a direct consequence of the maximum principle for parabolic equations — see Theorem 1.7.5. in Ref. 5 — combined with the fact that F and u e are nonnegative. Since both A and B generate compact semigroups {SA (t) : X → X, t ≥ 0} and {SB (t) : X → X, t ≥ 0} respectively, in view of e is viable with respect to (A + F, B + G), we Theorem 2.5, to show that K have merely to check the tangency condition lim inf h↓0

e and let us define uh and vh by So, let (τ, ξ, η) ∈ K, Z τ +h uh = SA (h)ξ + SA (τ + h − s)F (ξ, η) ds τ Z τ +h + SA (τ + h − s)[ Fe(e u(s), ve(s)) − Fe(e u(τ ), ve(τ )) ] ds τ

and respectively by Z τ +h vh = SB (h)η + SB (τ + h − s)G(ξ, η) ds τ Z τ +h e u(s), ve(s)) − G(e e u(τ ), ve(τ )) ] ds. + SB (τ + h − s)[ G(e τ

Now let us observe that, inasmuch as ξ ≤ u e(τ ) and η ≥ ve(τ ) a.e. on Ω, we have both SA (h)ξ ≤ SA (h)e u(τ ) and SB (h)η ≥ SB (h)e v (τ ). See Theorem 1.7.5 in Ref. 5. Recalling that f ≤ fe and taking into account of the monotonicity properties of fe, we get F (ξ, η) ≤ Fe(ξ, η) ≤ Fe(e u(τ ), ve(τ )). Similarly, using the fact that g ≥ ge and the monotonicity properties of ge, e η) ≥ G(e e u(τ ), ve(τ )). We get both uh ≤ u we deduce G(ξ, η) ≥ G(ξ, e(τ + h) e On the other hand and vh ≥ ve(τ + h) and thus (τ + h, uh , vh ) ∈ K. Z

where M ≥ 1 and a > 0 are the growth constants of the C0 -semigroup {SA (t) : X → X, t ≥ 0}. Since Fe, u e and ve are continuous we conclude that the first equality in (22) holds. Similarly, we get the second equality, and e and consequently the viability this completes the proof of the viability of K of K. Let us remark that f and g have sublinear growth. In addition K satisfies: for each sequence ((tn , ξn , ηn )n ) in K with limn (tn , ξn ηn ) = (t, ξ, η) and t < TK , where TK = sup{t ∈ R; there exists (ξ, η)∈X×X, with (t, ξ, η)∈K}, it follows that (t, ξ, η) ∈ K. Then it follows that each mild solution (u, v) : [ τ, T ] → X × X of (2.1) satisfying (t, u(t), v(t)) ∈ K for each t ∈ [ τ, T ] can be continued up to a global one (u∗ , v ∗ ) : [ τ, TK ) → X × X satisfying the very same condition on [ τ, TK ). Since (e u, ve) is defined on R+ and (t, u e(t), ve(t)) ∈ K for each t ∈ [ 0, ∞) we conclude that TK = ∞ and this completes the proof.

NECESSARY OPTIMALITY CONDITIONS FOR HYPERBOLIC DISCRETE INCLUSIONS AURELIAN CERNEA Faculty of Mathematics and Informatics, University of Bucharest, Academiei 14, 010014 Bucharest, Romania E-mail: [email protected] The aim of this paper is to present a short survey of several new results concerning optimization of hyperbolic discrete inclusions. We study an optimization problem given by a hyperbolic discrete inclusion with end point constraints and we present several approaches concerning first and second-order necessary optimality conditions for this problem. Keywords: Derived cone; Discrete inclusion; Necessary optimality conditions, Minimum Principle.

1. Introduction Consider the problem minimize g(xN N )

(1)

over the solutions of the multiparameter discrete inclusion xij ∈ Fij (xij−1 , xi−1j , xi−1j−1 ),

i = 0, 1, ..., N,

j = 0, 1, ..., N,

(2)

with end point constraints of the form xN N ∈ XN ,

(3)

where Fij (.) : R3n → P(Rn ), i, j = 0, ..., N , are given set-valued maps, XN ⊂ Rn and g(.) : Rn → R is also a given function. The aim of this paper is to announce several new results concerning first and second-order necessary optimality conditions for problem (1)–(3). At the beginning we obtain necessary optimality conditions for a solution x = (x0 , x1 , ..., xN ), xi = (xi0 , xi1 , ..., xiN ), i = 0, 1, ..., N to the problem (1)–(3) in terms of a variational inclusion associated to the problem

(2) and in terms of the cone of interior directions (Dubovitskij-Miljutin tangent cone) to the set XN at xN N . Afterwards this result is improved by replacing the cone of interior directions with the concept of derived cone introduced by Hestenes1 and using a remarkable ”intersection property” of derived cones obtained by Mirica2 . Finally, we present an approach concerning second-order necessary optimality conditions for the problem (1)–(3). Optimal control problems for systems described by discrete inclusions have been studied by many authors (Refs. 3–8 etc.). In the framework of multivalued problems, necessary optimality conditions for problem (1)–(2) (i.e. without end point constraints) are obtained in Ref. 9. The idea in Ref. 9 is to use a special (Warga’s) open mapping theorem to obtain a sufficient condition for (2) to be locally controllable around a given trajectory and as a consequence, via a separation result, to obtain the maximum principle. In contrast with the approach in Ref. 9, even if the problem studied in the present paper is more difficult, due to end point constraints, the method in our approach seems to be conceptually very simple, relying only 2–3 clear-cut steps and using a minimum of auxiliary results. 2. Preliminaries Denote by SF the solution set of inclusion (2), i.e. SF := {x = (x0 , x1 , ..., xN ); i, j = 0, 1, ..., N,

xi = (xi0 , xi1 , ..., xiN ),

x is a solution of (2),

xij = 0

xij ∈ Rn ,

if i < 0 or j < 0}.

and by RFN := {xN N ; x ∈ SF } the reachable set of inclusion (2). We consider x = (x0 , x1 , ..., xN ) ∈ SF a solution of (2). Since the reachable set RFN is, generally, neither a differentiable manifold, nor a convex set, its infinitesimal properties may be characterized only by tangent cones in a generalized sense, extending the classical concepts of tangent cones in Differential Geometry and Convex Analysis, respectively. From the multitude of the intrinsic tangent cones in the literature, the contingent, the quasitangent and Clarke’s tangent cones, defined, respectively, by ¾ ½ xm − x n →v Kx X = v ∈ R ; ∃ sm → 0+, xm ∈ X : sm Qx X = {v ∈ Rn ; ∃ c(.) : [0, s0 ) → X, c(0) = x, c0 (0) = v} ¾ ½ ym − xm →v Cx X = v ∈ Rn ; ∀(xm , sm )→(x, 0+), xm ∈X, ∃ ym ∈X : sm

seem to be among the most oftenly used in the study of different problems involving nonsmooth sets and mappings. The second-order quasitangent set to X at x relative to v ∈ Qx X is defined by Q2(x,v) X = {w ∈ Rn ; ∀sm → 0+, ∃wm → w : x + sm v + s2m wm ∈ X}. We recall that, in contrast with Kx X, Qx X, the cone Cx X is convex and one has Cx X ⊂ Qx X ⊂ Kx X. Another important tangent cone is the cone of interior directions (Dubovitskij-Miljutin tangent cone) defined by Ix X

:= {v ∈ Rn ; ∃ s0 , r > 0 : x + sB(v, r) ⊂ X ∀ s ∈ [0, s0 )},

B(v, r) := {w ∈ Rn ; kw − vk < r},

B(v, r) := cl B(v, r).

From the properties of the cone of interior directions we recall only the following: Qx X1 ∩ Ix X2 ⊂ Qx (X1 ∩ X2 ).

(4)

The concept of derived set was introduced for the first time by Hestenes1 . Definition 2.1. A subset M ⊂ Rn is said to be a derived set to X ⊂ Rn at x ∈ X if for any finite subset {v1 , ..., vk } ⊂ M , there exist s0 > 0 and a continuous mapping a(.) : [0, s0 ]k → X such that a(0) = x and a(.) is (conically) differentiable at s = 0 with the derivative col[v1 , ..., vk ] in the sense that Pk ka(θ) − a(0) − i=1 θi vi k = 0. lim kθk Rk + 3θ→0 A subset C ⊂ Rn is said to be a derived cone of X at x if it is a derived set and also a convex cone. For the basic properties of derived sets and cones we refer to Hestenes1 ; we recall that if M is a derived set then M ∪ {0} as well as the convex cone generated by M , defined by

cco(M ) =

( k X

) λj v j ;

λj ≥ 0, k ∈ N, vj ∈ M, j = 1, ..., k

i=1

is also a derived set, hence a derived cone. The fact that the derived cone is a proper generalization of the classical concepts in Differential Geometry and Convex Analysis is illustrated by the

following results (Ref. 1): if X ⊂ Rn is a differentiable manifold and Tx X is the tangent space in the sense of Differential Geometry to X at x Tx X = {v ∈ Rn ;

∃ c : (−s, s) → X, of class C 1 , c(0) = x, c0 (0) = v}

then Tx X is a derived cone; also, if X ⊂ Rn is a convex subset then the tangent cone in the sense of Convex Analysis defined by T Cx X = cl{t(y − x);

t ≥ 0, y ∈ X}

is also a derived cone. By cl A we denote the closure of the set A ⊂ Rn . Since any convex subcone of a derived cone is also a derived cone, such an object may not be uniquely associated to a point x ∈ X; moreover, simple examples show that even a maximal with respect to set-inclusion derived cone may not be uniquely defined: if the set X ⊂ R2 is defined by [ X = C1 C2 , C1 = {(x, x); x ≥ 0}, C2 = {(x, −x), x ≤ 0} then C1 and C2 are both maximal derived cones of X at the point (0, 0) ∈ X. We recall that two cones C1 , C2 ⊂ Rn are said to be separable if there exists q ∈ Rn \{0} such that: hq, vi ≤ 0 ≤ hq, wi

∀v ∈ C1 , w ∈ C2 .

We denote by C + the positive dual cone of C ⊂ Rn C + = {q ∈ Rn ;

hq, vi ≥ 0,

∀ v ∈ C}

The negative dual cone of C ⊂ Rn is C − = −C + . The following ”intersection property” of derived cones, obtained by Miric˘a2 , is a key tool in the proof of necessary optimality conditions. Lemma 2.1. Let X1 , X2 ⊂ Rn be given sets, x ∈ X1 ∩ X2 , and let C1 , C2 be derived cones to X1 , resp. to X2 at x. If C1 and C2 are not separable, then Cl(C1 ∩ C2 ) = (Cl(C1 )) ∩ (Cl(C2 )) ⊂ Qx (X1 ∩ X2 ). For a mapping g(.) : X ⊂ Rn → R which is not differentiable, the classical (Fréchet) derivative is replaced by some generalized directional derivatives. We recall only, in the case when g(.) is locally-Lipschitz at x ∈ int(X), Clarke’s generalized directional derivative, defined by: DC g(x; v) =

g(y + θv) − g(y) , θ (y,θ)→(x,0+) lim sup

v ∈ Rn .

The first and second order uniform lower Dini derivative are defined as follows g(x + θv 0 ) − g(x) , D↑ g(x; v) = 0 lim inf θ (v ,θ)→(v,0+) D↑2 g(x, v; w) =

g(x + θv + θ2 w0 ) − g(x) − θD↑ g(x; v) . θ2 (w ,θ)→(w,0+) lim inf 0

When g(.) is of class C 2 one has 1 D↑2 g(x, v; w) = g 0 (x)T z + v T g 00 (x)v. 2 The results in the next section will be expressed, in the case where g(.) is locally-Lipschitz at x, in terms of the Clarke generalized gradient, defined by: D↑ g(x, v) = g 0 (x)T v,

∂C g(x) = {q ∈ Rn ;

< q, v >≤ DC g(x; v)

∀ v ∈ Rn }.

By P(Rn ) we denote the family of all subsets of Rn . Corresponding to each type of tangent cone, say τx X, one may introduce a set-valued directional derivative of a multifunction G(.) : X ⊂ Rn → P(Rn ) (in particular of a single-valued mapping) at a point (x, y) ∈ Graph(G) as follows τy G(x; v) = {w ∈ Rn ; (v, w) ∈ τ(x,y) Graph(G)},

v ∈ τx X.

Similarly one may define second-order directional derivatives of the setvalued map G(.). For example the second-order quasitangent derivative of G at (x, u) relative to (y, v) ∈ Q(x,u) (graph(G(.)) is the set-valued map Q2(u,v) G(x, y, .) defined by graphQ2(u,v) G(x, y; .) = Q2((x,u),(y,v)) (graphG(.)). We recall that a set-valued map, A(.) : Rn → P(Rn ) is said to be a convex (respectively, closed convex) process if Graph(A(.)) ⊂ Rn × Rn is a convex (respectively, closed convex) cone. In what follows, we shall assume the following hypothesis. Hypothesis 1.1. i) The set-valued maps Fij (.) have nonempty compact convex values ∀i, j ∈ {0, 1, ..., N } and there exists L > 0 such that Fij (.) is Lipschitz with the Lipschitz constant L, ∀i, j ∈ {0, 1, ..., N }.

Let A0 ⊂ Qx00 F00 (0, 0, 0) be a closed convex cone. To the problem (2) we associate the linearized problem wij ∈Aij (wij−1 , wi−1j , wi−1j−1 ), w00 ∈A0 , i, j=0, 1, ..., N, i+j > 0 with the boundary conditions wij = 0 for i < 0 or j < 0

(5)

N Denote by SA the solution set of inclusion (5) and by RA the reachable set of inclusion (5). We recall that if A : Rn → P(Rn ) is a set-valued map then the adjoint of A is the multifunction A∗ : Rn → P(Rn ) defined by

A∗ (p) = {q ∈ Rn ; hq, vi ≤ hp, v 0 i

∀(v, v 0 ) ∈ graphA(.)}.

The next result, due to Tuan and Ishizuka8 characterizes the positive N dual of the reachable set RA of problem (5). Lemma 2.2. Assume that Hypothesis 1.1 is satisfied and let r(.) : Rn → P(Rn ) be the set-valued map defined by r(α) := {wN N ; w = (w0 , ..., wN ) is a solution of (5), w00 = α}. Then, for all b ∈ Rn r∗ (b) = {u101 + u210 + u311 ; (u1ij , u2ij , u3ij ) ∈ A∗ij (u1ij+1 + u2i+1j + u3i+1j+1 ), i, j=0, 1, ..., N, 0 < i + j < 2N, (u1N N , u2N N , u3N N ) ∈ A∗N N (b)}. 3.

For the details of the proof see Ref. 10. In Theorem 3.1 an important hypothesis is that the terminal set XN is assumed to have a nonempty cone of interior directions. Such type of assumption may be overcome by using the concept of derived cone. Using the fact that if A0 is a derived cone to F00 (0, 0, 0) at x00 then N the reachable set RA is a derived cone to RFN at xN N (Ref. 11), Lemma 2.1 and Lemma 2.2 we have the next version of the Minimum Principle for problem (1)–(3). Theorem 3.2. Let XN ⊂ Rn be a closed set, let x ∈ SF be an optimal solution for problem (1)–(3) such that Hypothesis 1.1 is satisfied and let g(.) : Rn → R be a locally Lipschitz function. Then for any derived cones A0 of F00 (0, 0, 0) at x00 and C1 of XN at xN N there exist λ ∈ {0, 1}, q ∈ Rn and u1ij , u2ij , u3ij ∈ Rn such that (6)-(9) hold true.

Assume that Hypothesis 1.1 is satisfied, let g(.) : Rn → R be a locally Lipschitz function, let A0 ⊂ Qx00 F00 (0, 0, 0) be a closed convex cone, let x = (x0 , x1 , ..., xN ) ∈ SF be an optimal solution for problem (1)–(3) and assume that the following constraint qualification is satisfied {−q ∈ Rn ;

Furthermore, if equality holds for some y N N , then we have the second-order necessary condition D↑2 g(xN N , y N N ; wN N ) ≥ 0

CONTROLLABILITY OF DAMPED SECOND-ORDER INITIAL VALUE PROBLEM FOR A CLASS OF DIFFERENTIAL INCLUSIONS WITH NONLOCAL CONDITIONS ON NONCOMPACT INTERVALS D.N. CHALISHAJAR Department of Applied Mathematics, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel Institute of Tech., Gujarat University, Vasad-388306. Gujaratr State, India E-mail: [email protected] In this short article, we investigate the controllability of damped second-order initial value problems for a class of differential inclusions with nonlocal conditions on unbounded real interval. We shall employ a theorem of Ma1 , which is an extension to multivalued maps on locally convex topological spaces, of Schaefer’s theorem. Example is provided to illustrate the theory. This work is motivated by the papers of Benchohra and Ntouyas2 and Benchohra, Gatsori and Ntouyas3 . Keywords: Controllability; Initial value problems; Convex multivalued map; Evolution Inclusion; Fixed point; Nonlocal conditions.

1. Introduction The IVP with nonlocal conditions is of significance since they have applications in many physical problems. For the importance of nonlocal conditions in different fields we refer to Ref. 4 and the references cited there in. Also, controllability of the second-order systems with local and nonlocal conditions has received much attention in the recent years. It is advantageous to treat the second-order abstract differential equations directly rather than to convert them to first-order system, (Fitzgibbon5 and Ball6 ). Fitzgibbon5 used the second-order abstract system for establishing the boundedness of solutions of the equation governing the transverse motion of an extensible beam. A useful tool for the study of abstract second-order equations is the theory of strongly continuous cosine families of operators (Refs. 7,8). Our aim in this paper is to obtain the sufficient conditions for the controllability of second-order initial value problems (IVP) for a class of damped

differential inclusions with nonlocal conditions on noncompact intervals, whose existence was proved by Benchohra and Ntouyas9 . Consider the inclusion for the damped second-order system of the form y 00 (t) − Ay(t) ∈ Gy 0 (t) + Bu(t) + F (t, y(t), y 0 (t)), y(0) + g(y) = φ, y 0 (0) = y0 ,

(1)

where the state y(t) takes values in a real Banach space X with the norm k.k and the control u(.) is given in L2 (J, U ), a Banach space of admissible control function with U as a Banach space. B is a bounded linear operator from U to X, g : C(J, X) → X, φ : J → X, y0 ∈ X, J is an unbounded real interval. © A is a linear ªinfinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous cosine family C(t) : t ∈ R in a Banach space X. For the sack of simplicity we choose J = [0, +∞). Here G is bounded linear operator on X and F : J × X × X → 2X is a bounded, closed, convex multivalued map. The method we are going to use is to reduce the controllability problem of (1) to the search for fixed points of a suitable multivalued map on the Frechet space C(J, X). In order to prove the existence of fixed points, we shall rely on a theorem due to Ma1 , which is an extension to multivalued maps between locally convex topological spaces, of Schaefer’s theorem (Ref. 10). 2. Motivations The study of the dynamical buckling of the hinged extensible beam which is either stretched or compressed by axial force in a Hilbert space, can be modeled by the hyperbolic equation Z L ³ ´ ¯ ´ 2 ¯ ∂u ∂2u ∂4u ³ ¯ (ξ, t)¯2 dξ ∂ u + g ∂u , + − α + β (2) ∂t2 ∂t4 ∂t ∂x2 ∂t 0 where α, β, L > 0u(t, x) is the deflection of the point x of the beam at the time t, g is a nondecreasing numerical function, and L is the length of the beam. Equation (2) has its analogue in Rn and can be included in a general mathematical model ¢ ¡ 1 u00 + A2 u + M kA 2 uk2H Au + g(u0 ) = 0, (3) where A is a linear operator in a Hilbert space H, and M and g are real functions. Equation (2) was studied by Patcheu11 and (3) was studied by Matos and Pereira12 . These equations are the special cases of the following second order damped nonlinear differential equation in an abstract space u00 + Au + Gu0 = f (t, u, u0 ); u(0) = u0 , u0 (0) = u1 , where A, B are linear operators.

3. Preliminaries In this section, we introduce notations, definitions, and preliminary facts from multivalued analysis which will be used throughout this paper. Let Jb be the compact real interval [0, b] (b ∈ N ). Let C(J, X) be the linear metric Frechet space of continuous functions from J into X with the metric (see Ref. 13) d(y, z) =

∞ X 2−b ky − zkb , 1 + ky − zkb

for each y, z ∈ C(J, X),

b=0

where

½

¾

kykb := sup ky(t)k : t ∈ Jb . Let B(X) denote the Banach space of bounded linear operators X into X with standard norm. A measurable function y : J → X is Bochner integrable if and only if kyk is Lebesgue integrable. Let L1 (J, X) denotes the Banach space of continuous functions y : J → X which are Bochner integrable normed by Z ∞ kykL1 = ky(t)kdt < ∞ for all y ∈ L1 (J, X). 0

U p denotes the neighbourhood of 0 in C(J, X) defined by n o U p := y ∈ C(J, X) : kykb < p . The convergence in C(J, X) is the uniform convergence in the compact intervals, i.e.yj → y in C(J, X) if and only if each b ∈ N, kyj − ykb → 0 in C(Jb , X) as j → ∞.M ⊆ C(J, X) is a bounded set if and only if there exists a positive function ξ ∈ C(J, R+ ) such that ky(t)k ≤ ξ(t)

for all t ∈ J

and all y ∈ M.

The Arzela-Ascoli theorem says that a set M ⊆ C(J, X) is compact if and only if for each b ∈ N , M is a compact set in the Banach space (C(Jb , X), k.kb ). ½ ¾ We say that one-parameter family

C(t) : t ∈ R

of bounded linear

operators in B(X) is a strongly continuous cosine family if and only if (1) C(0) = I, I is the identify operator on X; (2) C(t + s) + C(t − s) = 2C(t)C(s) for all s, t ∈ R; (3) The map t 7→ C(t)y is strongly continuous in t on R for each fixed y ∈ X.

The strongly continuous sine family {S(t) : t ∈ R}, associated to the strongly continuous cosine family {C(t) : t ∈ R} is defined by Z t S(t)y = C(s)y ds, y ∈ X, t ∈ R. 0

Assume the following condition on A. (H1) A is the infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous cosine family C(t), t ∈ R of bounded linear operators X into itself and the adjoint operator A∗ is densely defined i.e. D(A∗ ) = X ∗ (Ref. 14). The infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous cosine family C(t), t ∈ R is the operator A : X → X defined by d2 C(t)y|t=0 , y ∈ D(A), dt2 where D(A) = {y ∈ X : C(t)y is twice continuously differentiable in t} i.e. Ay =

D(A) = {y ∈ X : C(.)y ∈ C 2 (R, X)}. Define X1 = {y ∈ X : C(t)y} is once continuously differentiable in t = {y ∈ X : C(.)y ∈ C 1 (R, X)}. For more details on strongly continuous cosine and sine family, we refer to the book of Goldstein15 and papers of Travis and Webb7,8 . We know that that if the multivalued map G1 : X → 2X is completely continuous with nonempty compact values, then G1 is u.s.c. if and only if G1 has a closed graph (i.e. xn → x0 , yn → y0 , yn ∈ G1 (xn ) imply y0 ∈ G1 (x0 )). We assume the following hypotheses: (H2) C(t), t > 0 is compact. (H3) t → B(u(t)) is continuous in t. (H4) The linear operator W : L2 (J, U ) → X defined by Z b Wu = S(t − s)Bu(s)ds 0

Lemma 3.1. (Ref. 17) Let I = Jb be a compact real interval and X be a Banach space. Let F be a multivalued map satisfying (H5) and let Γ be a linear continuous mapping from L1 (I, X) to C(I, X), then the operator ΓoSF : C(I, X) → BCC(C(I, X))

y → (ΓoSF )(y) := Γ(SF,y )

is a closed graph operator in C(I, X) × C(I, X). Lemma 3.2. (Ref. 1) Let X be a locally convex space and N1 : X → 2X be a compact convex valued, u.s.c. multivalued map such that there exists a closed neighbourhood U p of 0 for which N1 (U p)is a relatively compact set for each p ∈ N . If the set ½ Ω :=

is bounded, then N1 has a fixed point. 4. Main Result We now state and prove our main controllability result. Theorem 4.1. Assume that the hypotheses (H1 )–(H8 ) are satisfied. Let g : C(J, X) → X be a continuous function. Then the system (1) is controllable on J. Proof. For fixed b ∈ N consider the space Z = C 1 (J, X) with norm kykz = max{kyk, ky 0 k, t ∈ J}. Using the hypothesis (H5) for an arbitrary function y(·), we define the control " f −1 y1 − {C(b) − S(b)G}φ(0) + C(b)g(y) − S(b)y0 uby (t) = W Z

Clearly y1 − g(y) ∈ (N1 y)(b), which means that the control u steers the system from initial state φ(0) to y1 in time b, provided we obtain a fixed point of the nonlinear operator N1 . In order to study the controllability problem for system (1), we apply fixed point theorem due to Ma1 to the following system: y 00 (t)∈λ−1 Ay(t)+λ−1 Bu(t)+λ−1 Gy 0 (t)+λ−1 F (t, y(t), y 0 (t)), y(0) + g(y) = φ, y 0 (0) = y0 , t ∈ J.

Step 1. The set Ω := {y ∈ C(J, X) : λy ∈ N1 (y), λ > 1} is bounded. For that we obtain a priori bounds for the equation (6). We have ky(t)kb ≤ (M1 + M1 bkGk)kφ(0)k + M1 L + M1 bky0 k Z t Z t 2 +M1 kGk ky(s)kds+M1 N b +M1 b p(s)ψ(ky(s)k + ky 0 (s)k)ds. 0

Denote by r1 (t) the R.H.S. of the above inequality, we have r1 (0) = (M1 + M1 bkGk)kφ(0)k + M1 L + M1 bky0 k + M1 N b2 andky(t)k ≤ r1 (t), t ∈ Jb . Using the increasing character of ψ, we get r10 (t) ≤ M1 kGkky(t)k + M1 bp(t)ψ(ky(t)k + ky 0 (t)k). But

h i y 0 (t) = λ (AS(t) − C(t)G)φ(0) − AS(t)g(y) + C(t)y0 + Gy(t) Z t + AS(t − s)Gy(s)ds Z t h 0 f −1 y1 − {C(b) − S(b)G}φ(0) + C(b)g(y) − S(b)y0 +λ C(t − η)B W 0 Z b Z b Z t i − C(b − s)Gy(s)ds − S(b − s)v(s)ds (η)dη + λ C(t − s)v(s)ds. 0

Thus we have ky 0 (t)kb ≤ (M1∗ + M1 bkGk)kφ(0)k + M1∗ L + M1 ky0 k + kGkky(t)k Z t Z t +M1∗ kGk ky(s)kds + M1 N b + M1 b p(s)ψ(ky(s)k + ky 0 (s)k)ds. 0

Let w(t) = r1 (t) + r2 (t), then c = w(0) = r1 (0) + r2 (0) = (M1 + M1∗ )[kφ(0)k + L] + kGkky(t)k h i +(1 + b) M1 ky(0)k + M1 N b + M1 kGkkφ(0)k .

This implies that for each t ∈ Jb Z ∞ Z w(t) Z b ds ds pb(s)ds < ≤ = ∞. s + ψs s + ψs 0 c c This inequality implies that there exists a constant K such that r1 (t) + r2 (t) = w(t) ≤ K, t ∈ Jb . Then kykz = max{ky(t)k, ky 0 (t)k)} ≤ K, where K depends only on b and on the functions p and ψ. This shows that Ω is bounded. Step 2. N1 y is convex for each y ∈ C(J, X). Indeed if h1 , h2 ∈ N1 y then there exist v1 , v2 ∈ SF,y,y0 such that for each t ∈ J, let 0 ≤ α ≤ 1 we have (αh1 + (1 − α)h2 )(t)

Since SF,y,y0 is convex as F is convex, then v = αh1 + (1 − α)h2 ∈ SF,y,y0 and hence αh1 + (1 − α)h2 ∈ N1 y. Step 3. N1 (Uq ) is bounded in C(J, X) for each q ∈ N .

By using (H6), (H7) and continuity of C(t) and S(t), we see that the right-hand side of the above inequality tends to zero as (t2 − t1 ) −→ 0. The compactness of C(t), S(t) for t > 0 implies the continuity in the uniform operator topology. The compactness of S(t) follows from that of C(t). In an analogous way one can obtain a similar estimate for kh0 (t1 ) − h0 (t2 )k. Thus N1 (U q) maps U q into an equicontinuous family of functions. It is easy to see that the family N1 (U q) is uniformly bounded. The above estimate implies the required equicontinuity. This also proves the relative compactness of N1 (Uq ). Now it remains to prove the uppersemicontinuity (u.s.c.) of N1 . Equivalently, it is enough to prove that N1 has a closed graph. We do this in the next step using Lemma 3.1. Step 5. N1 has a closed graph. Let yn −→ y ∗ , hn −→ h∗ and hn ∈ N1 (yn ). We shall prove that h∗ ∈ N1 y ∗ . Since hn ∈ N1 (yn ) means that there exists vn ∈ SF,yn ,yn0 such that Z t Z t f −1 hn (t)=C(t)[φ(0)−g(yn )]+S(t)y0 + S(t−s)vn (s)ds + S(t−η)B W 0 0 Z b h £ ¤ ¤ y1 − g(y) − C(b) φ(0) − g(yn ) − S(b)y0 − S(b − s)vn (s)ds (η)dη. 0

Then the idea is to use the facts (1) hn −→ h∗£; ¤ (2) hn − C(t) φ(0) − g(yn ) − S(t)y0 ∈ Γ(SF,yn ), where Γ : L1 (J, X) −→ C(J, X), defined by Z t Z t f −1 (Γv)(t) = S(t − s)v(s)ds + S(t − η)B W 0 0 Z b h i £ ¤ y1 − g(y) − C(b) φ(0) − g(y) − S(b)y0 − S(b − s)v(s)ds (η)dη 0

If Γ ◦ SF is a closed graph operator, we would be done. But we do not know whether Γ ◦ SF is a closed graph operator. So we cut the functions yn , hn − C(t)φ(0) + C(t)g(yn ) − S(t)y0 , gn and we consider them defined on the interval [k, k + 1] for any k ∈ N ∪ {0}. Then, using Lemma 3.1, in this case we are able to affirm that (7) is true on the compact interval [k, k + 1], i.e. Z t Z t ∗ ∗k ∗ h (t)|[k,k+1] =C(t)[φ(0)−g(y )]+S(t)y0 + S(t−s)v (s)ds + S(t−η) 0 0 Z b h i −1 ∗ ∗k f BW y1 −g(y)−C(b)[φ(0)−g(y )]−S(b)y0 − S(b−s)v (s)ds (η)dη. 0 ∗k

AVERAGING OF EVOLUTION INCLUSIONS IN BANACH SPACES TZANKO DONCHEV Department of Mathematics University of Architecture and Civil Engineering 1 ”Hr. Smirnenski” str., 1046 Sofia, Bulgaria E-mail: [email protected] We study semi-linear evolution inclusion in a Banach space E with uniformly convex dual E ∗ . Averaging and partial averaging results on a finite interval is proved, when A is linear m-dissipative and F , G are one sided Lipschitz. When F (t, ·) is one sided Lipschitz with negative constant we prove such results on an infinite interval. Keywords: Averaging; One sided Lipschitz; Evolution inclusions.

1. Preliminaries We study the following evolution inclusion: x(t) ˙ ∈ Ax + F (t, x) + εG(t, x), x(0) = x0 , t ∈ [0, ∞),

(1)

where A is densely defined linear operator with closed graph, generating a continuous semigroup. The multi-functions F (·, ·) and G(·, ·) are almost upper hemicontinuous with convex weakly compact values. The state space E is Banach with uniformly convex dual E ∗ . Through the paper we suppose F and G are bounded on the bounded sets. We denote by Sol(1) the solution set of (1). We refer to Refs. 1,2 for the theory of semilinear differential equations and inclusions in Banach spaces (see also Refs. 3,4). Further we assume that the following limit: Z 1 t+T G(τ, x) dτ G0 (x) = lim (A) T →∞ T t exists uniformly on the bounded subsets of E. Consider the averaged evolution inclusion: x(t) ˙ ∈ Ax + F (t, x) + εG0 (x), x(0) = x0 , t ∈ [0, ∞).

We want to show that the Hausdorff distance between the solution set Sol(ε) of (1) and the solution set Sol0 (ε) of (2) converges to 0. This averaging principle is the main result of the paper. The problem (2) is often much simpler that the problem (1). This method is very comprehensively studied (in case A ≡ 0 and F ≡ 0) in the works of Plotnikov at al. We note Refs. 5–8 and the references therein. In Refs. 1,9 the averaging method is studied in case F ≡ 0. Our goal here is first to extend the averaging principle to the more general case (1)–(2) and also to replace the commonly used Lipschitz assumption on F and G with the weaker one sided Lipschitz. Let A : D(A) ⊂ E → E be closed densely defined linear operator, where E is a Banach space with uniformly convex dual E ∗ . We assume that A is m-dissipative, i.e. hJ(x), Axi ≤ 0 for every x ∈ D(A) and the range R(λI − A) = E for some (equivalently for any) λ > 0. With J(x) = {l ∈ E ∗ hl, xi = |x|2 = |l|2 } we denote the duality map. It is well known that J(·) is single valued and uniformly continuous on the bounded sets when E ∗ is uniformly convex (see e.g. Ref. 10). Denote by B the open unit ball in E. Let A, B ⊂ E be nonempty closed bounded. We let Ex(A, B) = sup inf |a − b| and DH (A, B) = max{Ex(A, B), Ex(B, A)}. a∈A b∈B

The family T (t) : E → E of bounded linear operators satisfying: 1) T (0) = I (the identity operator) 2) T (t + s) = T (t)T (s) = T (s)T (t), ∀t, s ≥ 0 3) t → T (t)x is continuous ∀x ∈ E is called C0 semigroup. The semigroup {T (t)}t≥0 is called compact when for every t > 0 and every bounded B the set T (t)B is compact. The densely defined linear operator A : D(A) → E is said to be an infinitesimal generator of a C0 (compact) semigroup {T (t)}t≥0 if lim +

Let B ⊂ E be bounded for l ∈ E ∗ denote by σ(l, B) = sup hl, ai the a∈B

support function. Let M be a Banach space, the multifunction F :M⇒E is said to be upper hemicontinuous (UHC) when the support function σ(l, F (·)) is upper semicontinuous as a real valued function. It is easy to see that if F is bounded on the bounded sets with nonempty convex weakly compact values then F (·) is UHC if and only if its graph Graph(F ) is (M–strong) × (E–weak) closed. F : I × E ⇒ E is said to be almost UHC

if for every ε > 0 there exists Iε ⊂ I with meas(I \ Iε ) < ε such that F (·, ·) is UHC on Iε × E. Further we assume that F and G are bounded on [0, ∞) × B for every bounded B ⊂ E. Definition 1.1. The multifunction F : [0, T ] × E ⇒ E is said to be one sided Lipschitz (OSL) when there exists a constant L such that for every x, y ∈ E σ(J(x − y), F (t, x)) − σ(J(x − y), F (t, y)) ≤ L|x − y|2 . Definition 1.2. The continuous function y(·) is said to be mild solution of (1) when there exists a (strongly) measurable selection h(t) ∈ F (t, y(t)) + εG(t, y(t)) such that Z t y(t) = T (t)x0 + T (t − s)h(s) ds. 0

We will skip the word mild, i.e. the mild solutions will be called solutions. It is appropriate to check that the mild solutions (since A is linear) coincide with the integral solutions, i.e. x(0) = x0 and there exists a (strongly) measurable selection h of F + εG such that for every u ∈ D(A) and 0 ≤ s ≤ t: Z t |x(t) − u|2 ≤ |x(s) − u|2 + 2 hJ(x(τ ) − u), h(τ ) − Aui dτ. s

It is easy to see that h(t) = f (t) + εg(t), where f (t) ∈ F (t, x(t)) and g(t) ∈ G(t, x(t)) are (strongly) measurable. In the paper we study under some natural conditions the proximity between the solution sets of (1) and (2). This problem seems to be a particular case of the singularly perturbed problems (compare Ref. 11). However in our case the assumptions on F (·, ·) are weaker. 2. The Results In this section we prove the main results of the paper. First we prove the existence result when G(t, x) ≡ 0. Standing Hypotheses (SH): A1. A is densely defined closed m-dissipative linear operator, which is an infinitesimal generator of C0 semigroup. A2. A generates a compact semigroup.

F1. F (·, ·) and G(·, ·) are almost UHC with nonempty convex weakly compact values, which satisfy the OSL condition with constants LF and LG respectively. Theorem 2.1. Under A1, F1 the differential inclusion: x(t) ˙ ∈ Ax + F (t, x(t)), x(0) = x0

(EI)

admits nonempty C([0, S], E) bounded closed set of (mild) solutions on every interval [0, S], where S > 0. Proof. The proof is the same as in the proof of Theorem 2.4 of Ref. 12 with only small obvious modifications. We have only to see that the solution set is uniformly bounded. So let x(·) be a solution. Due to A1, F1 we have that there exists a positive constant M such that |F (s, 0)| ≤ M ∀ s ∈ [0, S]. Further: Z t |x(t)|2 ≤ 2 (σ(J(x(s)), F (s, x(s))) − hJ(x(s)), A(0))ids 0 Z t ≤2 hσ(J(x(s) − 0), F (s, x(s))) − σ(J(x(s) − 0), F (s, 0)) 0

Denote by Sol(EI) the solution set of (EI). Corollary 2.1. Suppose A1, F1 are valid. If moreover, LF < 0 then lim+ DH (Sol(ε), Sol(EI)) = 0 with respect to the uniform metric in [0, ∞).

Proof. For ε > 0 sufficiently small one has that the multifunction F (t, x) + εG(t, x) is OSL with negative OSL constant LF + εLG . It is standard to prove that since F and G are bounded on the bounded sets there exist constants K and M such that |x(t)| ≤ K and |F (t, x(t) + B)| + |G(t, x(t + B))| ≤ M . Let x(·) be a solution of (1). Then x(·) is a solution of x(t) ˙ = Ax + f (t) + εg(t), where f (t) ∈ F (t, x(t)) and g(t) ∈ G(t, x(t)). We define the following multifunction: H(t, y) = {u ∈ F (t, x) : hJ(x(t) − y), f (t) − ui ≤ LF |x(t) − y|2 .

It is easy to see that H(·, ·) is almost UHC. Let y(·) be a solution of y(t) ˙ ∈ Ay + H(t, y(t)), y(0) = x0 . From Theorem 1.2 in Ref. 12 (taken there from Ref. 13) we know that: Z t |x(t) − y(t)|2 ≤ 2 hJ(x(s) − y(s)), x(s) ˙ − y(s)i ˙ ds. 0

Hence |x(t) − y(t)|2 ≤ 2 LF |x(t) − y(t)|2 + 0 Z t d |x(t) − y(t)|2 ≤ (2LF + M ε)|x(t) − 2ε M |(x(s) − y(s)|ds. Therefore dt 0 y(t)|2 + M ε. Since 2LF + M ε < 0 for sufficiently small ε, one has that |x(t) − y(t)|2 ≤ M ε. S1. There exists δ > 0 and a bounded set D ⊂ E such that the solution sets of (1) and (2) are contained in D for every ε < δ. Let K = |D|. For every x, y ∈ D one has |x − y| ≤ 2K. As it was pointed out the normalized duality map J(·) is uniformly continuous on 2KB. Denote by ΩJ (δ) := sup {|J(x) − J(y)| : |x| ≤ K, |y| ≤ K} its |x−u|≤δ

module of continuity. Further we need the following variant of Filippov–Pliss lemma. Lemma 2.1. Assume A1, A2, F1, S1 hold. Let η > 0 be given. Then there exists a constant C(ε) such that if x(·) is a solution of x(t) ˙ ∈ Ax(t) + F (t, x(t) + ηB) + εG(t, x(t) + ηB), x(0) = x0 , then there exists a solution y(·) of y(t) ˙ ∈ Ay(t) + F (t, y(t)) + εG(t, y(t)), y(0) = x0 , p such that |x(t) − y(t)| ≤ C(ε) η + ΩJ (η) on [0, ε−1 ]. If LF ≤ 0, then C does not depend on ε. Proof. It is easy to see that there exist strongly measurable functions |f˜(t)| < η and |˜ g (t)| < η such that x(t) ˙ ∈ Ax(t) + F (t, x(t) + f˜(t)) + εG(t, x(t) + g˜(t)), x(0) = x0 . Moreover there exist strongly measurable selections f (t) ∈ F (t, x(t) + f˜(t)) and g(t) ∈ G(t, x(t) + g˜(t)). Define the multi-maps F1 (t, z) := {v ∈ F (t, z) : hJ(x(t) − z), f (t) − vi ≤ LF |x(t) − x|2 }

and G1 (t, z) := {v ∈ G(t, z) : hJ(x(t) − z), g(t) − vi ≤ LG |x(t) − x|2 }. It is easy to see that F1 (·, ·) and G1 (·, ·) are almost UHC with nonempty convex weakly compact values. Therefore there exist a solution y(·) of y(t) ˙ ∈ Ay(t) + F1 (t, y(t)) + εG1 (t, y(t)), y(0) = x0 . It it easy to see that there exist strongly measurable selections f1 (t) ∈ F1 (t, y(t)) and g1 (t) ∈ G1 (t, y(t)) such that y(t) ˙ = Ay(t) + f1 (t) + εg1 (t), y(0) = x0 . Consequently hJ(x(t) − y(t) + f˜(t)), f (t) − f1 (t)i ≤ LF |x(t) + f˜(t) − y(t)|2 and hJ(x(t) − y(t) + g˜(t)), g(t) − g1 (t))i ≤ LG |x(t) + g˜(t) − y(t)|2 . Therefore hJ(x(t) − y(t)), f (t) − f1 (t)i ≤ LF |x(t) − y(t)|2 +|J(x(t) − y(t)) − J(x(t) − y(t) + f˜(t))| (|f (t)| + |fi (t)|) ¯ ¯ ¯ ¯ + ¯LF |x(t) − y(t)|2 − LF |x(t) − y(t) + f˜(t)|2 ¯ ≤ LF |x(t) − y(t)|2 + 2M ΩJ (η) + |LF |(4K + η)η. Analogously, hJ(x(t) − y(t) + g˜(t)), g(t)−g1 (t))i ≤ LG |x(t)−y(t)|2 + d |x(t) − y(t)|2 ≤ 2M ΩJ (η) + |LG |(4K + η)η. Consequently, dt 2 2(LF + εLG )|x(t) − y(t)| + 4M (1 + ε)ΩJ (η) + 2(|LF | + ε|LG |)(4K + η)η. Therefore there exists a constant C(ε) such that |x(t) − y(t)| ≤ p d |x(t) − y(t)|2 ≤ C(ε) η + ΩJ (η) on [0, ε−1 ]. If LF ≤ 0, then dt 2εLG |x(t) − y(t)|2 + 4M (1 + ε)ΩJ (η) + 2(|LF | + ε|LG |)(4K + η)η. Due to Gronwall’s inequality in this case C does not depend on ε (on [0, ε−1 ]). Now we are ready to prove our main result: Theorem 2.2. Let LF ≤ 0. Under SH and S1 the solution sets R1 of (1) and R2 of (2) are nonempty and compact. Furthermore for every δ > 0 there exists ε(δ) > 0 such that for every 0 < ε ≤ ε(δ) one has DH (R1 , R2 ) ≤ δ on [0, ε−1 ]. Remark 2.1. It is assumed in Ref. 11 (for more general singularly perturbed problem) that LF < 0 (this assumption is crucial) which does not cover the classical case F (t, x(t)) ≡ 0. Here we permit LF = 0. Proof. Notice that the proof must be given only in case LF = 0. If LF < 0 Theorem 1.2 trivially follows from Corollary 2.1 (in this case S1 is redundant). Since A generates a compact semigroup, one has that R1 and R2 are

compact sets on [0, ε−1 ]. Furthermore the multifunction G0 (·) is also OSL with a constant LG . One can choose mε → ∞ with εmε → 0 as ε → 0 such 1 one has: that, denoting εmε µ ¶ Z 1 t+q G(s, x)ds = 0, [0, ε−1 ] × B. lim DH G0 (x), ε→0 q t Furthermore it is easy to see that for every δ > 0 there exists mε such that DH (Soli (ε, G), R1 ) < δ, as well as DH (Soli (ε, G0 ), R2 ) < δ. Here Soli (ε, G) is the solution set of x(t) ˙ ∈ Ax + F (t, x) + εG(t, xi ), xi = x(ti ), ti = iq, i = 1, . . . , [mε ]. Soli (ε, G0 ) is defined analogously, replacing G by G0 . Due to S1 every solution of (1) or (2) is uniformly continuous on [0, ∞). STEP 1. Let x(·) be a solution of (2) and let δ > 0 be given. There exists a strongly measurable selection g(t) ∈ G(x(t)) such that x(·) is a solution of x(t) ˙ = Ax(t) + F (t, x) + εg(t). i . εmε Let z(·) be a solution of z(t) ˙ ∈ Az+F (t, z)+εgi (t) such that z(ti ) = x(ti ) and gi (t) ∈ G0 (xi ) for i = 0, 1, · · · , mε . Due to S1 there exists M > 0 such that |F (t, x)| ≤ M and |G(x)| ≤ M on D for t ∈ [0, T ]. That is x(·) is uniformly continuous and hence for every δ > 0 one can choose ε and m that |x(t) − z(t)| ¯ ≤ δ. Moreover one can choose gi (·) such that ¯ εZsuch ¯ ¯ 1 ti+1 ¯ (gi (t) − g(t)) dt¯¯ < 2δ. Define the multifunction: ¯q Let mε be the numbers from the beginning of the proof. Denote ti =

F˜ (t, u) := {v ∈ F (t, u) : σ(J(z(t) − u), F (t, z(t))) − hJ(z(t) − u), vi ≤ LF |z(t) − u|2 } Let fi (t) ∈ F˜ (t, z(t)) For i = 0, 2, · · · , mε define successively y(0) = x0 and y(t) ˙ = Ay + fi (t) + εgi (t)) for t ∈ [ti , ti+1 ]. Therefore |y(t) − z(t)| < 2δ. Hence |y(t) − x(t)| < 4δ. Consequently we have y(t) ˙ ∈ Ay(t) + F (t, y(t) + 4δB) + εG(t, y(t) + 4δB). Lemma 2.1 applies. Thus there exists a solution y˜(·) of (1) which is sufficiently closed to x(·) on [0, ε−1 ].

STEP 2. Let y(·) be a solution of (1) and let δ > 0 be given. Let i . mε be the numbers from the beginning of the proof. Denote ti = εmε There exists a strongly measurable selection g˜(t) ∈ G(t, y(t)) such that y(t) ˙ ∈ Ay(t) + F (t, y(t)) + g˜(t), y(0) = x0 . Now one can continue as in the proof of previous step. Notice that Theorem 1.2 is not true for LF > 0: Example 2.1. Consider the following differential equation: ε x˙ = x + , x(0) = 0, t ≥ 0 t+1 ³ ´ with solution xε (t) ≥ ε2 et/ε−1 → ∞ as ε → 0 for every t > 0. The averaged system is: x˙ = x, x(0) = 0, t ≥ 0 with the only solution x(t) ≡ 0. When F ≡ 0 one can study the (asymptotic) behavior of x(t) ˙ ∈ Ax + εG(t, x), x(0) = x0

x(t) ˙ ∈ Ax + εG0 (x), x(0) = x0 .

and respectively

In this case Theorem 1.2 has the form. Corollary 2.2. Under the conditions of Theorem 1.2 for every δ > 0 there exists ε(δ) > 0 such that for every 0 < ε ≤ ε(δ) one has DH (R(DI) , R(ADI) ) ≤ δ on [0, ε−1 ]. Theorem 2.3. Let all the assumptions of Theorem 1.2 hold. If LF < 0 then for any δ > 0 there exists ε(δ) > 0 such that for every 0 < ε ≤ ε(δ) one has DH (R1 , R2 ) ≤ δ on [0, ∞). Proof. The statements follows from Corollary 2.1. Remark 2.2. Theorems 1.2 and 2.1 hold true when (A) is replaced by lim DH (Graph(G0 ), Graph(GT )) = 0,

Using the same fashion as in the proof of Theorem 1.2 one can prove the following Filatov–Hapaev type result (cf. ch. II of Ref. 14). Theorem 2.4. Assume A1, A2, F1, S1 hold with LF ≤ 0.

A linear stability theory is used to analyze the vortex instability of combined free and mixed convection boundary layer flow in a saturated porous medium incorporating the variation of permeability and thermal conductivity due to paking particles with non-uniform temperature. Local Nusselt number for the base flow are presented for both uniform permeability (UP) and variable permeability (VP) cases. An implicit finite difference method is used to solve the base flow and the resulting eigenvalue problems are solved numerically. The critical Peclet and Rayleigh numbers and the associated wave number are obtained for both UP and VP cases. The results indicate that the inertia coefficients reduces the heat transfer rate and destabilizes the flow to the vortex mode of disturbance. The effect of variable permeability tends to increase the heat transfer rate and destabilize the flow to the vortex mode of disturbance.

Vortex Instability of Free and Mixed Convection

81

1. Introduction The problem of the vortex mode of instability in mixed and free convection flow over a heated plate in a saturated porous medium have recently received considerable attention. This is primarily due to a large number of technical applications, such as fluid flow in geothermal reservoirs, separation processes in chemical industries, storage of radioactive nuclear waste materials, transpiration cooling, transport processes in aquifers, etc. The instability mechanism is due to the presence of a buoyancy force component in the direction normal to the plate surface. Hsu and Cheng1 analyzed the vortex mode of instability for a horizontal mixed convection boundary layer flow in a saturated porous media. Hsu et al.2 and Hsu and Cheng3 analyzed the vortex mode of instability of horizontal and inclined natural convection flows in a uniform porosity medium. Jang and Lie4 studied the vortex instability of mixed convection flow over horizontal and inclined surfaces in a porous medium, where both the streamwise and normal components of the buoyancy force are retained in the momentum equations. All of these investigations are based on the Darcy flow. However, at high flow rates or in porous media of high permeability, there is a departure from Darcy’s law and the inertia effects become significant. The non-Darcian effect on vortex instability of free or mixed convection flow was investigated by Refs. 5–9 and 10. All of the works mentioned above are based on the uniform permeability formulation with uniform porosity. In some applications, such as fixed-bed catalytic reactors, packed bed heat exchangers and drying, the porosity is not uniform but has a maximum value at the wall and a minimum value away from the wall. This wall-channeling phenomenon has been reported by a number of investigators such as Refs. 11–13 and 14. It is shown that the variable porosity effect increases the temperature gradient adjacent to the wall resulting in the enhancement of the surface heat flux. The effect of variable permeability on vortex instability of a horizontal free or mixed convection boundary layer flow in a saturated porous medium was studied by Refs. 15,16 and 17. Jang and Chen18 examined the effect of variable porosity and thermal dispersion on vortex instability of natural convection boundary layer flow adjacent to an isothermal horizontal surface in a porous medium. The aim of this paper is to study the effect of variable permeability on vortex instability combined free and mixed convection boundary layer flow over a horizontal heated plate in a saturated porous medium. This is accomplished by considering the Forchheimer extended Darcy equation of

motion. The wall temperature is a power function of the distance from the origin. The permeability of the medium is assumed to vary exponentially with distance from the wall. The analysis of the disturbance flow is based on linear stability theory. The disturbance quantities are assumed to be in the form of a stationary vortex roll that is periodic in the spanwise direction, with its amplitude function depending primarily on the normal coordinate and weakly on the streamwise coordinate. The resulting eigenvalue problems are solved by using a finite difference scheme. 2. Analysis 2.1. The main flow Consider the problem of free or mixed convection flow along a horizontal surface embedded in a fluid saturated porous medium. Here, x represents the distance along the plate from its leading edge, and y the distance normal to the surface. The horizontal plate assumed to be heated in such a way that its surface temperature varies in the power-law form Tw = T∞ + Axm , where A is constant. For the mathematical analysis of the problem we assume that: 1) the fluid and the porous solid matrix are in local thermodynamic equilibrium; 2) the porous medium is everywhere isotropic and homogeneous; 3) the fluid properties are constant accept for the density in the buoyancy force term; 4) the Boussinesq approximation is employed; 5) Forchheimer’s non-Darcy model is used for the momentum equation. With these assumptions, the governing equations are given by ∂u ∂v + = 0, ∂x ∂y

viscosity; K is the permeability of the porous medium; g is the gravitational acceleration; β is the thermal expansion coefficient of the fluid and α represents the equivalent thermal diffusivity. Note that the second term on the left-hand side of equations (2) and (3) is the inertia force in Forchheimer’s model, c is the transport property related to the inertia effect. As c = 0, equations (2) and (3) reduce to Darcy model. The other symbols are defined in the nomenclature. The pressure terms appearing in equations (2) and (3) can be eliminated through cross-differentiation. The boundary layer assumption yields ∂/∂x ¿ ∂/∂y and v ¿ u. With ψ being a stream function such that u = ∂ψ/∂y and v = −∂ψ/∂x, the equations (1)–(4) become " Ã ! √ √ µ ¶2# Kρ∞ gβ ∂T 2c K ∂ψ ∂ 2 ψ 1 ∂ψ c K ∂ψ dK =− 1+ − + , (5) 2 ν ∂y ∂y K ∂y 2ν ∂y dy µ ∂x ∂ψ ∂T ∂ψ ∂T ∂2T dα ∂T − =α 2 + . ∂y ∂x ∂x ∂y ∂y dy ∂y

where ε∞ and K∞ are the porosity and permeability at the edge of the boundary layer; d and d∗ are constants whose values are taken as 1.5 and 3 respectively, (see Chandrasekhara12 ). Further, α = λm /(ρ∞ cp )f also varies since it is related to the effective thermal conductivity of the saturated porous medium λm , where λm can be computed according to the following semi-analytical expression given by Nayagam et al19 : λm = ελf + (1 − ε)λs ,

In the above equations S = M and S = 1for mixed and free convection, respectively. Equations (40) and (41) along with its the boundary condition (42) constitutes a second-order system of linear ordinary differential equations for the disturbance amplitude distributions F (η) and Θ(η). For fixed values of d, d∗ , ε∞ , σ, k and M , the solution F and Θ is an eigenfunction for the eigenvalue P ex or Rax .

3. Numerical Scheme In this section, we compute the approximate value of Rax and P ex for equations (40) and (41) with the boundary conditions (42). An implicit finite difference method is used to solve first the base flow and the results are stored for a fixed step size h, which is small enough to predict accurate linear interpolation between mesh point. The domain is 0 ≤ η ≤ η∞ , where η∞ is the edge of the boundary layer of the basic flow. For a positive integer N , let h = η∞ /N and ηi = ih, i = 0, 1, ..., N . The problem is discretized with standard centered finite differences of order two, following Usmani21 . Solving eigenvalue problem is achieved by using the subroutine GVLRG of the IMSL library, see Ref. 22.

4. Results and Discussion Numerical results for the local Nusselt number, neutral stability curves, the critical Rayleigh and Peclet and numbers and the associated wave numbers at the onset of vortex instability are presented for both uniform permeability (UP), i.e. d = d∗ = 0 and variable permeability (VP), i.e. d, d∗ 6= 0 cases. For the purpose of numerical integration we have assumed d = 1.5, d∗ = 3, σ = 2, ε∞ = 0.4 (see Ref. 12). Figures 1 and 2 show the effect of Forchheimer coefficient numbers F r and Re, the mixed convection parameter M and the varaible permeability on the local Nusselt number. As expected, the local Nusselt number decrease as F r or Re (inertia coefficient) increases. Further, at a given value of Re as M increases the local Nusselt number increases. From this figures, it can be seen that a large discrepancy in the results exists between the variable permeability and uniform permeability. The local Nusselt number, predicated by the variable permeability, are much higher than those by the uniform permeability.

Figures 3 and 4 show the neutral stability curves, in terms of Rax and P ex and the dimensionless wave number k, for selected values of F r and Re, respectively, for both UP and VP cases. It is observed that, as F r and Re increases, the neutral stability curves shift to lower Rax and P ex , respectively. When the variable permeability effect is considered, the neutral

stability curves shift to lower Rayleigh and Peclet numbers and higher wave number k, indicating a destabilization of the flow. The critical Rayleigh and Peclet numbers Ra∗x , P e∗x and critical wave number k ∗ , which mark the onset of longitudinal vortices, can be found from the minima of the neutral stability curves. The critical wave number k ∗ and Rayleigh number Ra∗x are plotted as a function of F r in figures 5 and 6, respectively, for both UP and VP cases. We observe that, the critical Rayleigh number and critical wave number decrease as F r increase. The critical Peclet number and wave number are plotted as function of M for various values of Re in figures 7 and 8, respectively, for both UP and VP cases. We observe that, the critical Peclet number decreases and critical wave number increases as M increase. Also, we can see that, the critical Peclet number and critical wave number decrease as Re increase, indicating a destabilization of the flow to the vortex instability. Figures 5-8 show that the variable permeability effect tends to destabilize the flow to the vortex mode of disturbance. To assess the accuracy of our results, we have shown a comparison of our results with those Ref. 2 in the case of uniform permeability UP and darcy flow (i.e. F r = 0). A comparison of our results with those from the literature indicates that the agreement between the two calculations is good.

ANALYTICITY OF STABLE INVARIANT MANIFOLDS FOR GINZBURG-LANDAU EQUATION∗ A.V. FURSIKOV Department of Mechanics & Mathematics Moscow State University, Moscow, Russia 119992 E-mail: [email protected] This paper is devoted to prove analyticity of stable invariant manifold in a neighbourhood of an unstable steady-state solution for Ginzburg-Landau equation defined in a bounded domain of dimension not more than three. This investigation is made for possible applications in stabilization theory for semilinear parabolic equation. Keywords: Ginzburg-Landau equation; Stable invariant manifold; Analyticity; Stabilization.

1. Introduction In this paper we prove analyticity of stable invariant manifold M− near unstable steady-state solution of Ginzburg-Landau equation. This result can be used in stabilization theory for semilinear parabolic PDE defined in a bounded domain Ω with feedback Dirichlet control given on the boundary ∂Ω or on its open part. This theory for general quasilinear parabolic equation and for NavierStokes system was built in Refs. 1–3. We have to emphasize that the main reason to develop stabilization theory is to provide reliable stable algorithms for numerical stabilization. To construct such algorithms it is very desirable to have a simple description for infinite-dimensional invariant manifold M− allowing to calculate it easily in arbitrary point. Just such description gives functional-analytic decomposition of M− . Using classical description of M− by means of a map F (y− ) (see Refs. 4,5), one can look for this map as a series ∗ The

where Fk (y− ) are power operators in y− of order k. Using special differential equation in variational derivatives for map F it is possible to obtain recurrent formulae for Fk . These recurrent formulae allow us to prove convergence of series for F (y− ). First step in realization of this plan has been made in Ref. 6 where analyticity of stable invariant manifold in a neghborhood of zero steady state solution was proven in the case of one-dimensional semilinear parabolic equation. Moreover, obtained recourrence relations were succesfully used in Ref. 7 for numerical calculations. Note that under assumptions of Ref. 6 the linearization near steady state solution of the space part of semilinear equation is ordinary differential equation with constant coefficients. Therefore its eigenfunctions are sin kx. This circumstance were used essentially in Ref. 6. The methods of present paper do not use explicit form of eigenfunctions and therefore can be applied to situation when aforementioned linearization is an elliptic operator with variable coefficients defined in arbitrary bounded domain. 2. Stable Invariant Manifold In this section we recall certain notions connected with stable invariant manifolds for Ginzburg-Landau equation. 2.1. Ginzburg-Landau equation Let G ⊂ IRn , n = 1, 2, 3 be a bounded domain with C ∞ -boundary ∂G. We consider Ginzburg-Landau equation ∂t v(t, x) − ν∆v(t, x) − v(t, x) + v 3 (t, x) = f (x),

x ∈ G, t > 0

(1)

with boundary and initial conditions v(t, ·)|x∈∂G = 0, v(t, x)|t=0 = v0 (x),

x ∈ G,

(2) (3)

where ∂t v=∂v/∂t, ν > 0 is a parameter, f (x)∈L2 (G), v0 (x)∈H 2 (G)∩H01 (G) are given functions. Recall that H k (G) is the Sobolev space of functions belonging to L2 (G) together with all their derivaties up to the order k, H01 (G) = {u(x) ∈ H 1 (G) : u|∂G = 0}.

Analyticity of Stable Invariant Manifolds

95

As a phase space of the dynamical system generated by (1), (2) we take the functional space V ≡ V (G) = H 2 (G) ∩ H01 (G).

(4)

Let vb(x) ∈ V be a steady-state solution of (1), (2), i.e. a solution of the problem −ν∆b v (x) − vb(x) + vb3 (x) = f (x),

x ∈ G,

vb|∂G = 0.

(5)

To study the structure of the dynamical system (1), (2) in a neighborhood of vb(x) we make the change of unknown functions in (1), (2): v(t, x) = vb(x) + y(t, x).

(6)

After substituting (6) into (1)–(3) and taking into account (5) we get: ∂t y(t, x)−ν∆y(t, x)+q(x)y(t, x)+B(x, y(t, x)) = 0, x ∈ G, t > 0,

(7)

y(t, ·)|x∈∂G = 0,

(8)

y(t, x)|t=0 = y0 (x) = v0 (x) − vb(x),

x ∈ G,

(9)

where q(x) = 3b v 2 (x) − 1,

B(x, y) = y 3 + 3b v (x)y 2

(10)

Let {ek (x), λk },

λ1 ≤ λ2 ≤ ... ≤ λk → ∞

as k → ∞

(11)

be the eigenfunctions and the eigenvalues of the spectral problem Ae ≡ −ν∆e(x) + q(x)e(x) = λe(x), x ∈ G

e|∂G = 0.

(12)

We assume that eigenvalues λk of the spectral problem (12) satisfy the condition: λ1 ≤ ... ≤ λN < 0 < λN +1 ≤ ... ≤ λk ≤ ...

(13)

Since operator A is symmetric in L2 (G), the set (11) of its eigenfunctions {ek } forms orthogonal basis in L2 (G). We can assume (have done normalization) that {ek } is orthonormal basis in L2 (G). It is well-known that usual Sobolev H 2 -norm in V = H 2 (G) ∩ H01 (G) is equivalent to the norm Z ∞ ∞ X X kvk2V = λ2j |vj |2 , where vj = v(x)ej (x)dx, and v(x) = vj ej (x). (14) j=1

Evidently, {ej } forms orthogonal basis in V with respect to scalar product defined by norm (27). Below we suppose that the phase space V is supplied with the norm (27). In virtue of (13), the solutions e−λk t ek (x) of the linear equation ∂y + Ay = 0 (15) ∂t tend to infinity as t → ∞ for k = 1, ..., N , and tend to zero as t → ∞ for k > N. We introduce the subspaces V+ ≡ V+ (G) = [e1 , ..., eN ],

V− ≡ V− (G) = [eN +1 , eN +2 ...]

(16)

of unstable and stable modes for equation (15). Since eigenfunctions (11) form orthogonal basis in the phase space (4), the following relation is true: V+ (G) ⊕ V− (G) = V (G).

(17)

2.2. Stable invariant manifold It is well-known, that for each y0 ∈ V there exists a unique solution y(t, x) ∈ C(0, T ; V (G)) of problem (7)–(10), where T > 0 is arbitrary fixed number. We denote by S(t, y0 ) the solution operator of the boundary value problem (7)–(10): S(t, y0 ) = y(t, ·)

(18)

where y(t, x) is the solution of (7)–(10). Recall now some commonly used definitions of stable invariant manifold (see Chapter V in Ref. 4) adopted for our case. The origin of the phase space V , i.e. the function y(x) ≡ 0, is, evidently, a steady-state solution of problem (7)–(10). Definition 2.1. The set M− ⊂ V defined in a neighborhood of the origin is called the stable invariant manifold if for each y0 ∈ M− the solution S(t, y0 ) is well-defined and belongs to M− for each t > 0, and kS(t, y0 )kV ≤ ce−rt

as

t→∞

(19)

where 0 < r < λN +1 . The stable invariant manifold can be defined as a graph in the phase space V = V+ ⊕ V− by the formula M− = {y− + F (y− ), y− ∈ O(V− )}

where O(V− ) is a neighborhood of the origin in the subspace V− , and F : O(V− ) → V+

(21)

is a certain map satisfying kF (y− )kV+ /ky− kV− → 0 as

ky− kV− → 0.

(22)

So, in order to construct the invariant manifold M− we have to calculate the map (21), (22). 3. Preliminaries To get functional-analytic decompozition of the map F that defines stable invariant manifold, we have to derive differential equation for F . First of all we recall derivation of well-known equation for map (21) that determines invariant manifold M− . After that we recall definitions of certain notions that we use later. 3.1. Equation for F Let us introduce several notations. We rewrite equations (7), (10) using definition (12) of operator A as follows: ∂t y(t) + Ay(t) + B(·, y(t)) = 0.

(23)

Define the orthoprojectors P+ : V → V+ ,

P − : V → V−

(24)

and introduce notations P+ y=y+ , P− y = y− , P+ S(t, y0 )=S+ (t, y0 ), P− S(t, y0 )=S− (t, y0 ). (25) Taking into account that the spaces V+ , V− are invariant with respect to acting of operator A and using notations (11) we can rewrite (9) as follows: ∂t y+ (t) + Ay+ (t) + P+ B(·, y+ (t) + y− (t)) = 0 ∂t y− (t) + Ay− (t) + P− B(·, y+ (t) + y− (t)) = 0.

(26)

Let y0 ∈ M− . Then by (20) it has the form y0 = y− +F (y− ). By definition of an invariant manifold for each t ∈ R+ S(t, y0 ) ∈ M− or, what is equivalent S+ (t, y− + F (y− )) = F (S− (t, y− + F (y− ))).

We differentiate this equation with respect to t and express t-derivatives with help of equations (12). As a result we get: AS+ (t, y− + F (y− )) + P+ B(·, S(t, y− + F (y− ))) = hF 0 (S− (t, y− + F (y− ))), AS− (t, y− + F (y− ))

(27)

+ P− B(·, S+ (t, y− + F (y− )) + S− (t, y− + F (y− )))i where by hF 0 (z), hi we denote the value of derivative F 0 (z) on vector h. Passing to limit in (13) as t → 0 we get the desired equation for F : AF (y− ) + P+ B(·, y− + F (y− ))=hF 0 (y− ), Ay− + P− B(·, y− + F (y− ))i. (28) 3.2. Analytic maps Let Hi be Hilbert spaces with the scalar products (·, ·)i and the norms k · ki where i = 1, 2. We denote by (H1 )k = H1 × ... × H1 (k times) the direct product of k copies of H1 and define by Fk : (H1 )k → H2 a k-linear operator Fk (h1 , ..., hk ), i.e. the operator that is linear with respect to each variable hi , i = 1, ..., k. Then kFk k =

Restriction of k-linear operator Fk (h1 , ..., hk ) to diagonal h1 = ... = hk = h is called power operator of order k: Fk (h) = Fk (h, ..., h).

(30)

Using derivatives one can restore k-linear operator Fk (h1 , ..., hk ) by power operator Fk (h). Denote by O(H1 ) a neighbourhood of origin in the space H1 . The map F : O(H1 ) → H2

3.3. Operators from equation for F and their kernels We consider here operators from equation (14). 3.3.1. Subspapces V± and projectors P± Subspaces V+ , V− of V are defined in (16), and projectors P± are defined in (10). Orthogonality of decomposition (17) as well as orthogonality of projectors (10) take place with respect to the scalar product corresponding to norm (27). Therefore kP+ k ≤ 1,

kP− k ≤ 1.

Kernels Pb± of operators P± , i.e. distributions on G × G such that Z (P± v)(x) = Pb± (x, ξ)v(ξ)dξ ∀v(ξ) ∈ V

of distributions will be often used below without additional explanations. 3.3.2. Analyticity of the map B(·, y) We intend to decompose operator B(·, y) defined in (10) in series (18). For this we use that the phase space V is the algebra, i.e. in this space the operation of multiplication of functions is well-defined.

Define the operator of multiplication Γk as follows: Γk : V k −→ V,

Γk (v1 , ..., vk )(x) = v1 (x) · ... · vk (x)

(37)

where V k = V × ... × V (k times). Lemma 3.1. Let V = H 2 (G)∩H01 (G), G ⊂ IRn , n = 1, 2, 3. Then operator Γk defined in (31) is k-linear bounded operator. Moreover, there exists a constant γ > 0 such that for each k kΓk (v1 , ..., vk )kV ≤ γ k−1 kv1 kV · ... · kvk kV .

(38)

Proof. Since norm (27) is equivalent to the norm of Sobolev space H 2 (G), we can use H 2 -norm. Taking into account that embeddings H 2 (G) ⊂ C(G) and H 2 (G) ⊂ W41 (G) are continuous we get:  1/2 X Z kv1 · v2 kH 2 (G) =  |Dα (v1 (x)v2 (x))|2 dx kα|≤2

≤ kv1 kH 2 kv2 kC + kv1 kC kv2 kH 2 + 2kv1 kW4! kv2 kW41 ≤ γkv1 kH 2 kv2 kH 2 . Using this inequality we obtain (31) by induction in k. ¤ It follows from Lemma 3.1 and (10) that for y ∈ V B(x, y(x)) = Γ3 (y, y, y)(x) + 3b v (x)Γ2 (y, y)(x).

(39)

Therefore operator B is analytic, and relation (33) is its decomposition in series (18). The kernels of operators from (33) are as follows: b 3 (x; ξ1 , ξ2 , ξ3 ) = δ(x − ξ1 )δ(x − ξ2 )δ(x − ξ3 ) Γ

(40)

b 2 (x; ξ1 , ξ2 ) = 3b 3b v (x)Γ v (x)δ(x − ξ1 )δ(x − ξ2 ).

(41)

3.4. Series for operator F Let us consider the special case when H1 = V− , H2 = V+ with Hilbert spaces V− , V+ defined in (16). In this case analytic map (17), (18) can be rewritten as follows: F : O(V− ) → V+ ,

F (y− ) =

Fk (y− ).

(42)

We assume that F0 = 0, F1 = 0 because by (22) the map F defining stable invariant manifold M− has just this form.

(45)

y− (ξ k ) = y− (ξ1 ) · ... · y− (ξk ), y(j k ; ξ k ) = yj1 (ξ1 ) · ... · yjk (ξk ). (46) The kernel Fbk (x; ξ k ), x ∈ G, ξ k ∈ Gk ≡ G × ... × G (k times) belongs to the k k space V+ ⊗ (⊗ V−0 ) where ⊗ V−0 = V 0 ⊗ ... ⊗ V 0 (k times), i.e. Fbk (x; ξ k ) is a distribution on Gk with values in V+ , such that for each yj ∈ V, j = 1, ..., k the value Z (47) Fk (x; y1 , ..., yk ) = Fbk (x; ξ k )y(j k ; ξ k ) dξ k

of distribution Fbk (x; ξ k ) on test function y(ξ1 ) · ... · y(ξk ) is well-defined. Moreover, if yj ∈ V+ at least for one j ∈ {1, ..., k} then right hand side of equality (40) equals zero. Moreover, since Fk (·, y1 , ..., yk ) is symmetric with respect to (y1 , ..., yk ), i.e. Fk (·, y1 , ..., yk ) = Fk (·, yj1 , ..., yjk ) for each permutation (j1 , ..., jk ) of (1, ..., k), we can assume that the distribution Fbk (x; ξ k ) is symmetric with respect to (ξ1 , ..., ξk ) Now using (40) and (41) we can rewrite the series from (36) in the form: ∞ Z X (48) F (x, y− ) = Fbk (x; ξ k )y− (ξ k )dξ k . k=2

In accordance with (15) we define the norm kFk k of Fbk (x; ξ k ) ∈ k

For each function or distribution K(η1 , ..., ηr ) defined on Gr we determine the function σηr K(η1 , ..., ηr ) which is simmetric with respect to arbitrary permutation (ηj1 , ..., ηjr ) of variables (η1 , ..., ηr ) by the formula: 1 X K(ηj1 , ..., ηjr ) (50) σηr K(η1 , ...ηr ) = r! (j1 ,...,jr )

where the sum in the r.h.s. of (50) performs over all permutations (j1 , ..., jr ) of the set (1, ..., r). Lemma 3.2. Let K(η1 , ..., ηr ) be defined on Gr . Then (a) The following equality is true: Z Z ¡ ¢ σηr K(η r ) h(j r ; η r ) dη r K(η r )h(j r ; η r ) dη r =

Carrying operator Aξ2 from y(ξ 2 ) to Fb2 (x; ξ 2 ) and using operator (31) in right side of (21) we get: Z Z 2 2 2 b b 2 (η; ξ 2 )y(ξ 2 )dηdξ 2 . (57) (Aξk − Ax )F2 (x; ξ )y(ξ )dξ = 3 Pb+ (x, η)b v (η)Γ Since y ∈ V− and subspaces V+ , V−0 are invariant with respect of operator A, we obtain from (23) the relation determining Fb2 : Z −1 2 b b 2 (η; ζ 2 )Pb− (ζ 2 ; ξ 2 )dζ 2 , (58) Pb+ (x, η)b F2 (x; ξ ) = 3(Aξ2 − Ax ) v (η)Γ where Pb− (ζ 2 , ξ 2 ) is defined below, in (19). Note that operator (Aξk −Ax )−1 is well-defined. Moreover, the following k

assertion hold (recall that we define the norm of the space V+ ⊗ (⊗ V−0 ) by (49)): Lemma 4.1. Operator k

Thus we have proven the following Theorem: Theorem 4.1. The kernels Fbq (x; ξ q ) from decopmposition (42) of the map F (x; y) defining stable invariant manifold are defined in (24) (for q = 2), in recurrence relation (27) (for q = 3) and in (20)–(23) (for q ≥ 4).

kF3 k ≤ b0 (γ 3 + 4γ 2 kF2 k)/4.

(82)

Thus, we have proven the following lemma. Lemma 5.1. The norms kF2 k, kF3 k satisfy inequality (37), and the norms kFq k for q ≥ 4 satisfy estimate (36). 5.2. Convergence of series for F (x, y) Define coefficients ϕq of the series ϕ(λ) =

and therefore to prove convergence of series (42) we have to prove convergence of series (38). Theorem 5.1. The series (38) with coefficients ϕq defined in (39), (85) converges for sufficiently small |λ|. Proof. Multiplying both parts of equality (85) on (q + 1)λq , and both parts of equalities (39) on the same multiplier with q = 2, 3, and summing obtained equalities over q from 2 to ∞ we get the equality: ∂ (λϕ(λ)) = b0 (S1 (λ) + S2 (λ) + S3 (λ)) ∂λ

where the first equality is definition of the function Φ(z, λ). Since (96), (99) imply that z(0) = 1, we get from definition (100) that function Φ(z, λ) satisfies: Φ(z, λ)| z=1 = 0, λ=0

Φ0z (z, λ)| z=1 = 1. λ=0

Therefore by Implicite Function Theorem there exists a function z(λ) analytic in a neighborhood of origin such that z(0) = 1 and Φ(z(λ), λ) ≡ 0. Hence, by (96), (99) the function ϕ(λ) = λ(z(λ) − 1) defined in (38) is also analytic. ¤ Theorem 5.1 and inequalities (86) imply Theorem 5.2.

APPROXIMATE SOLUTIONS FOR NON-LINEAR AUTONOMOUS ODEs ON THE BASIS OF PWL APPROXIMATION THEORY A.G. GARCIAa , S.I. BIAGIOLA, J.L. FIGUEROA, O.E. AGAMENNONI∗ Departamento de Ingenier´ıa El´ ectrica y de Computadoras, Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bah´ıa Blanca, Buenos Aires B8000CPB, Argentina a E-mail: [email protected] L.R. CASTRO Departamento de Matem´ atica, Universidad Nacional del Sur, Bah´ıa Blanca, Buenos Aires B8000CPB, Argentina E-mail: [email protected] In this paper a general approach to approximate the solutions of Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) is presented. The methodology uses a Piecewise Linear (PWL) approximation of the ODEs vector field which describes the dynamics of a system. Once the number of Simplices to include in the PWL approximation of the nonlinear vector field has been decided, a measure of the dynamics approximation error is used to estimate upper and lower bounds for the error between the actual and the approximated trajectories. Several examples are analyzed to illustrate the method. A comparison with a classical numerical solution is provided to show some advantages of the proposed technique. Keywords: Piecewise Linear (PWL); ODEs.

1. Introduction Finding approximate solutions (ASs) for nonlinear dynamics modelled by Ordinary Differential Equations (ODEs) is a relevant problem in the field of systems. Applications related to dynamics and control, involve computation of ASs for these ODEs, which is usually time-consuming and demands a significant computational effort. ∗ S.

A.G. Garcia et al.

Many research works focus on discretization methods for processes which are originally continuous-time and mathematically described by a system of nonlinear ODEs. The discretization approach used to describe process dynamic behavior usually aims at digital process simulation (Ref. 1). Most of classical methods for solving ODEs (e.g. Runge-Kutta) find ASs on the basis of time domain discretization. An alternative approach is to compute ASs using a discretization of the state space. In this sense, Girard2 developed a method to solve ODEs by replacing the vector field by a PWL approximation. Although there has been much research work dedicated to error estimators for numerical integration methods (Ref. 3 and references therein), to the best of the authors knowledge, an approximate solution method for nonlinear ODEs with an a priori determined error-bound is a novel approach. The present work introduces a new approach to the problem of describing the dynamic behavior of nonlinear autonomous systems. A general method to approximate the solutions of a set of ODEs is presented. The technique makes use of a PWL approximation of the ODEs vector field which describes the dynamics of a system. A measure of the dynamics approximation error is used to estimate upper and lower bounds for the error between the real and the approximate trajectories (i.e. the real and approximate solutions to the ODE). The nonlinear ODEs solution approach herein introduced, can be straightforwardly implemented for real-time applications. Due to recent advances in microtechnology such as the integrated circuits, i.e. electronic device that can operate as a high-speed analogical computer of very small size due to the high compression density (see for instance Ref. 4), it is possible to easily implement continuous-time algorithms, which is especially appealing for simulation and control purposes. The inclusion of a piecewise linear (PWL) approximation of the nonlinear dynamics yields a substantial reduction regarding computational time and effort demands. The proposed solution approach can be used in many applications. For instance, in the field of physical and (bio)chemical processes that exhibit nonlinear behavior. These ones, are good examples since many of them are modelled by systems of ODEs in continuous-time domain. Moreover, it could be used in the solution of dynamic optimization problems with significant advantages as regards computational time consumption. For instance, the AS method can be implemented to efficiently solve back-off algorithms immerse in control applications, to determine the operating point which guarantees feasibility even under disturbances effects

(Refs. 5,6). Besides, the method could be also applied in many control strategies of nonlinear processes, such as in model predictive control, where a long-term process behavior has to be determined in order to decide the next manipulated variable movement (Ref. 7). 2. An Error Bound for PWL Solutions: The Scalar Case Let us consider an ODE given by: x(t) ˙ = f (x),

(1)

where f (x) : < → < a continuous function, x(t) : D ⊂ 0 in (0, η].

(5)

The existence of h follows by classical arguments of ODE. Since h is concave, there exists h0 (0+) ∈ (0, +∞]. By taking η > 0 small enough, we can assume that h0 > 0 in (0, η], so h is increasing on [0, η]. We also have Lemma 2.1. R1 (i) h ∈ C 1 [0, η] if and only if 0 g(s)ds < +∞; (ii) If 0 < p ≤ 2, then there exist c1 , c2 > 0 such that (h0 )p (t) ≤ c1 g(h(t)) + c2 ,

for all 0 < t < η.

Now, we construct a super-solution in the form uλµ = M h(cϕ1 ) for M > 1 large enough and c > 0 sufficiently small, where ϕ1 represents the first eigenfunction of −∆ in H01 (Ω). Case a = 1. This case was left as an open problem in Ref. 14. Note that the method used in Case 0 < a < 1 applies here only for small values of λ and µ. Let R > 0 be large enough such that Ω ⊂ BR (0), where BR (0) = {x ∈ RN ; |x| < R}. We consider the problem  |x| < R,  −∆u = g(u) + λ|∇u| + µf (x, u) (7) u>0 |x| < R,  u=0 |x| = R. In order to provide a super-solution for (7) let us first consider the problem  |x| < R,  −∆u = g(u) + λ|∇u| + 1 (8) u>0 |x| < R,  u=0 |x| = R. We need the following auxiliary result. Lemma 2.2. Problem (8) has at least one solution. Proof. We are looking for radially symmetric solution u of (8), that is, u = u(r), 0 ≤ r = |x| ≤ R and  N −1 0  u (r) = g(u(r)) + λ|u0 (r)| + 1 0 ≤ r < R,  −u00 − r (9) u>0 0 ≤ r < R,   u(R) = 0. This implies −(rN −1 u0 (r))0 ≥ 0 for all 0 ≤ r < R, which yields u0 (r) ≤ 0 for all 0 ≤ r < R. Then (9) gives µ ¶ N −1 0 00 0 u (r) + λu (r) = g(u(r)) + 1, 0 ≤ r < R. − u + r We obtain −(eλr rN −1 u0 (r))0 = eλr rN −1 (g(u(r)) + 1),

0 ≤ r < R.

Let w ∈ C 2 (BR (0)) ∩ C(B R (0)) be the unique radial solution of the problem  |x| < R,  −∆w = g(w) + 1 (12) w>0 |x| < R,  w=0 |x| = R. Clearly, w is a sub-solution of (8). As above we get Z r Z t −N +1 w(r) = w(0) − t sN −1 (g(w(s)) + 1)dsdt, 0

We claim that there exists a solution v ∈ C 2 [0, R) ∩ C[0, R] of (11) such that v > 0 in [0, R). Let A = w(0) and define the sequence (vk )k≥1 inductively by  Z r Z t  −λt −N +1  e t eλs sN −1 (g(vk−1 (s)) + 1)dsdt,  vk (r) = A − 0 0 (14) 0 ≤ r < R, k ≥ 1,    v0 = w. Note that vk is decreasing in [0, R) for all k ≥ 0. From (13) and (14) we easily check that v1 ≥ v0 and by induction we deduce vk ≥ vk−1 for all k ≥ 1. Hence w = v0 ≤ v1 ≤ ... ≤ vk ≤ ... ≤ A

in BR (0).

Thus, there exists v(r) := lim vk (r), for all 0 ≤ r < R and v > 0 in [0, R). k→∞

We can now pass to the limit in (14) in order to get that v is a solution of (11). By classical regularity arguments we also obtain v ∈ C 2 [0, R)∩C[0, R]. This proves the claim. We have obtained a super-solution v of (8) such that v ≥ w in BR (0). Hence, the problem (8) has at least one solution and the proof of our Lemma is now complete. ¤ Let u ∈ C 2 (Ω) ∩ C(Ω) be a solution of the problem (8). For M > 1 we have −∆(M u) ≥ g(M u) + λ|∇(M u)| + M in Ω. Since f is sublinear, we can choose M = M (µ) > 1 such that M ≥ µf (x, M |u|∞ ) in BR (0). Then uλµ := M u is a super-solution for (1). This finishes the proof of Theorem 2.1. ¤ In the case 1 < a ≤ 2 we prove the following result.

Theorem 2.2. Assume µ = 1 and f , g satisfy (f 1)–(f 2) and (g1) respectively. Then there exists λ∗ > 0 such that (1) has at least one classical solution for 0 ≤ λ < λ∗ and no solutions exist if λ > λ∗ . Proof. For small values of λ > 0 we can construct a super-solution of (3) in the same manner as in the proof of Theorem 2.1. Set A = { λ ≥ 0 : problem (1) has at least one classical solution}. From the above arguments, A is nonempty. Let λ∗ = sup A. First we claim that if λ ∈ A, then [0, λ) ⊆ A. For this purpose, let λ1 ∈ A and 0 ≤ λ2 < λ1 . If uλ1 is a solution of (1) with λ = λ1 , then uλ1 is a super-solution for (1) with λ = λ2 while v defined in (4) is a sub-solution. Hence, the problem (1) with λ = λ2 has at least one classical solution. This proves the claim. Since λ ∈ A was arbitrary chosen, we conclude that [0, λ∗ ) ⊂ A. Let us prove that λ∗ < +∞. For this purpose we use the following result Lemma 2.3. (see Ref. 15). If a > 1, then there exists a real number σ ¯>0 such that the problem ½ −∆u ≥ |∇u|a + σ in Ω, (15) u=0 on ∂Ω, has no solutions for σ > σ ¯. Set

positive and nondecreasing, we deduce that m is positive. Let λ > 0 be such that (3) has a solution uλ . If w = λ1/(p−1) uλ , then v verifies  p 1/(a−1) τ in Ω,  −∆w ≥ |∇w| + λ (16) w>0 in Ω,  w=0 on ∂Ω. By Lemma 2.3 it follows that λ1/(a−1) τ ≤ σ ¯ which gives λ ≤ (¯ σ /τ )a−1 . ∗ This means that λ is finite. This completes the proof. ¤ Theorems 2.1 and 2.2 show the importance of the convection term λ|∇u|a in (3). Indeed, according to Ref. 10, Theorem 1.3, for any µ > 0,

has a unique solution, provided λ = 0 and α, β ∈ (0, 1). The above theorems show that if λ is not necessarily 0, then the following situations may occur: (i) problem (17) has solutions if a ∈ (0, 1] and for all λ ≥ 0; (ii) if a ∈ (1, 2) then there exists λ∗ > 0 such that problem (17) has a solution for any λ < λ∗ and no solution exists if λ > λ∗ . To better understand the dependence between λ and µ in (3), let us consider the special case f ≡ 1 and let m := lim g(s) ∈ (0, +∞). s→∞

In this case the result concerning (3) is the following. Theorem 2.3. Assume that a = 2 and f ≡ 1. Then the following properties hold: (i) The problem (1) has a solution if and only if λ(m + µ) < λ1 ; λ1 . Then (1) has a unique (ii) Assume µ > 0 is fixed and let λ∗ = m+µ solution uλ for every 0 < λ < λ∗ and the sequence (uλ )0 0. (26) un un+1 Since t 7−→

On the other hand, ∇ζ(x0 ) = 0 implies un+1 (x0 )∇un (x0 ) = un (x0 )∇un+1 (x0 ). a−1 Furthermore, relation (26) leads us to ua−1 n (x0 ) − un+1 (x0 ) > 0, which is a contradiction since 0 < a < 1. Hence un ≤ un+1 in Bn which means that

Using the assumption (f 1), we can find M > 1 large enough such that M > f (M w) in RN .

With the same proof as above we deduce that un ≤ v in Bn , for all n ≥ 1. This implies 0 ≤ u1 ≤ · · · ≤ un ≤ v in RN . Thus, there exists u(x) = lim un (x), for all x ∈ RN and un ≤ u ≤ v in RN . Since v(x) → 0 n→∞

as |x| → ∞, we deduce that u(x) → 0 as |x| → ∞. A standard bootstrap 2,γ argument (see Gilbarg and Trudinger19 ) implies that un → u in Cloc (RN ) and that u is a solution of problem (20).

EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS RESULTS IN THE MICROPOLAR MIXTURE THEORY OF POROUS MEDIA IONEL-DUMITREL GHIBA “Octav Mayer” Mathematics Institute, Romanian Academy of Science, Ia¸si Branch, Bd. Carol I, nr. 8, 700506-Ia¸si, Romania E-mail: ghiba [email protected] In this paper we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the initialboundary value problem of a micropolar binary mixture. We use some results of the semigroup theory of linear operators to obtain an existence and uniqueness theorem for the initial value problem with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Continuous dependence of the solutions upon the initial data and supply terms is also established. Keywords: Micropolar mixture; Micropolar elastic solid; Incompressible micropolar viscous fluid; Existence; Uniqueness; Continuous dependence.

1. Introduction In Ref. 1 Eringen has developed a continuum theory for a mixture of a micropolar elastic solid and a micropolar viscous fluid. All materials, whether natural or synthetic, possess microstructures. The material points of porous solids and dirty fluids undergo translation and rotations. Classical elasticity and fluid dynamics ignore the rotational degrees of freedom. In the micropolar continuum theory, the rotational degrees of freedom play a central role. Thus, we have six degrees of freedom, instead of the three degrees of freedom considered in classical elasticity and fluid mechanics. A material point of micropolar continuum is endowed with three rigid directors whose rotations provide the intrinsic rotations of the material point (see Refs. 2,3). The continuum theory of mixtures has been a subject of intensive study in literature. A presentation of the work on the subject can be found in a review article by Bowen4 . In classical theories of mixtures, the rotational degrees of freedom are ignored.

The microstructural motions are observed to produce new effects that cannot be accounted for the classical translatory degrees of freedom alone that are used to formulate classical mixture theories. A large class of engineering materials, as well as soils, rocks, granular materials, sand and underground water mixtures may be modeled more realistically by means the theory proposed by Eringen1 . Consolidation problems in the building industry, earthquake problems and oil exploration problems fall into the domain of this theory. For the classical isothermal theory of a mixture consisting of three component: an elastic solid, a viscous fluid and a gas some results concerning uniqueness and continuous dependence have been studied by Gale¸s5 . Some results have been established in Ref. 6 concerning the existence and uniqueness of solutions in the case when the thermal effects are present, but the time derivative of temperature is not present into the set of independent variables. We outline that the general theorems concerning the uniqueness and continuous data dependence of solutions in the thermal theory of a mixture consisting of three component have been established by Chirit¸˘a7 . We recall that the existence and uniqueness results in the classical theories of mixtures have been obtained using the semigroup theory by Mart´ınez and Quintanilla8 and Gale¸s6 . In the present paper we consider the linear theory of a binary homogeneous mixture of an isotropic micropolar elastic solid with an incompressible micropolar viscous fluid and we formulate the basic initial-boundary value problem. Within this theory some uniqueness and continuous dependence results have been established in Ref. 9. The main purpose of this paper is to establish some existence and uniqueness results for the solutions of the initial-boundary problems associated with the theory in question. The paper also investigates the continuous dependence of solution with respect to the initial data and supplies terms. We transform the initial boundary value problem in an abstract equation in an appropriate Hilbert space and then we use the results of the semigroups theory of linear operators (see Refs. 10,11) in order to obtain the existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence results. 2. Preliminaries We consider a binary homogeneous mixture of an isotropic micropolar elastic solid with an incompressible micropolar viscous fluid. Both continuous bodies are considered to occupy a bounded domain Ω of the threedimensional space, whose boundary is regular surface ∂Ω.

Existence and Uniqueness in the Micropolar Mixture Theory

141

We refer the motion of a continuum to a fixed system of rectangular Cartesian axes Oxk (k = 1, 2, 3). The Latin subscripts are understood to range over the integers 1, 2, 3 and superscripts s, f denote respectively, the micropolar elastic solid and the incompressible micropolar fluid. Summation over repeated subscripts and other typical conventions for differential operations are implied such as a superposed dot or comma followed by a subscript to denote the partial derivative with respect to the time or the corresponding cartesian coordinate. Let ρα 0 denote the density of the αth constituent and ρ0 the density of the mixture at time t = 0. We denote by α uα i the displacement vector fields and by ϕi the rotation vector fields of the αth constituent. The fundamental equations for mechanical behaviour of the mixture in the framework of the linearized theory developed by Eringen1 are — balance of momentum α α α ˆα ¨α ρα 0u i , i = tji,j + ρ0 fi + p X α pî = 0,

With these quantities we can write the equations (8) in the same forms with the equations (1)–(4). In this paper we shall assume that the densities ρ¯s0 , ρ¯f0 are strictly positive and ¯ s + 2¯ 3λ µs + k¯s ≥ 0, 2¯ µs + k¯s ≥ 0, k¯s ≥ 0, (14) 3¯ αs + β¯s + γ¯ s ≥ 0, γ¯ s + β¯s ≥ 0, γ¯ s − β¯s ≥ 0, C¯0 > 0. In what follows we will study the existence and uniqueness of solution of the initial-boundary value problem defined by the equations (9), the boundary conditions (11) and the initial conditions (12). 3. Existence and Uniqueness Results In this section we use the results of the semigroup theory of linear operators to establish an existence theorem to the equations that characterize the linear theory of a binary homogeneous mixtures of an isotropic micropolar elastic solid with an incompressible micropolar viscous fluid. Firstly, we transform our initial boundary value problem defined by the relations (9), (11) and (12) to an abstract problem on an appropriate Hilbert space.

In order to simplify the notation, we suppress the superposed bar throughout in what follows. Let us define X = {w=(us , vs , ϕs , ν s , vf , ν f , T ); us ∈H10 (Ω), vs ∈L2 (Ω), ϕs ∈H10 (Ω), ν s ∈L2 (Ω), vf ∈H(Ω), ν f ∈L2 (Ω), T ∈L2 (Ω)},

Because Ω is open, bounded, connected of class C 2 , we have (see Ref. 12) L2 (Ω) = H ⊕ H1 ⊕ H2 ,

(16)

where H, H1 , H2 are mutually orthogonal spaces, H1 = {u ∈ L2 (Ω); u = grad p, p ∈ H1 (Ω), ∆p = 0}

and H2 = {u ∈ L2 (Ω); u = grad q, q ∈ H10 (Ω)}.

The operator A defined by the relation (14) generates a C0 contractive semigroup in X. Proof.

gen1 for describing the behaviour of a binary homogeneous mixture of an isotropic micropolar elastic solid with an incompressible micropolar viscous fluid. The mechanical interpretation of condition (7) and (14) is obvious. The assumptions (7) results by the entropy inequality and the assumption (14), usual in the study of well posed problems, are in agreement with the restrictions imposed in Ref. 9 for the study of the uniqueness and continuous dependence of solution. The present results show that the general approach of a binary homogeneous mixture of an isotropic micropolar elastic solid with an incompressible micropolar viscous fluid is well posed. The uniqueness result is in concordance with that obtained for a Newtonian fluid (see Ref. 14).

APPROXIMATE CONTROLLABILITY FOR LINEAR STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH CONTROL ACTING ON THE NOISE DAN GOREAC Laboratoire de Math´ ematiques, Unit´ e CNRS UMR 6285, Universit´ e de Bretagne Occidentale, 6, av. Victor LeGorgeu, B.P. 809, 29200 Brest cedex, France E-mail: [email protected] In this paper we study approximate controllability for a linear stochastic differential equation dy(t) = (Ay(t) + Bu(t)) dt + (Cy(t) + Du(t)) dW (t), for the case when the control acts also on the noise. This may be considered as a generalization of the work of Buckdahn, Quincampoix and Tessitore where the problem is solved for D = 0 and of Peng for D of full rank. We prove, using the dual BSDE and Riccati methods that approximate controllability is equivalent to the local in time viability for a suitable set. Finally, an invariance criterion is given. Keywords: Stochastic control; Controllability; Controllability under constraints; Backward stochastic differential equation; Riccati equation.

1. Introduction Given a complete probability space (Ω, F, P ) and a standard Brownian motion (W (t), t ≥ 0) on this space, we consider the natural complete filtration (Ft )t≥0 generated by W. We let A = A(Ω, F, P ; W ) be the set of all (Ft )progressively measurable processes v(·) taking their values in Rd and such hR i T that E 0 |v(s)|2 ds < ∞ for all T > 0. A process v(·) ∈ A will be referred as an admissible control process. We consider the following linear stochastic differential equation dy(t) = (Ay(t) + Bu(t)) dt + (Cy(t) + Du(t)) dW (t), 0 ≤ t ≤ T, n

governed by the control process u(·) ∈ A, where A, C ∈ L(R , R ), and B, D ∈ L(Rd , Rn ). The initial condition is y(0) = x ∈ Rn .

For all x ∈ Rn and all admissible control u(·), the equation (1) admits a unique predictable solution y(·, x, u) with continuous trajectories such that y(0, x, u) = x. Furthermore, this solution satisfies, for all T > 0, " # E

sup |y(s)|2 < ∞. s∈[0,T ]

In Refs. 1 and 2, Peng (respectively Liu and Peng) have studied the ”exact controllability” and ”exact terminal controllability” for (1). They show that exact terminal controllability is equivalent with the condition that D has full rank. Moreover, algebraic conditions of Kalman type give a characterization of exact controllability. The case where the control u(·) does not act on the noise (i.e. D = 0 ) has been studied by Buckdahn, Quincampoix and Tessitore in Ref. 3. Since D is not of full rank, exact terminal controllability must be weakened to ”approximate controllability”. Algebraic Riccati equation methods are used in Ref. 3 in order to obtain a characterization of approximately-controllable stochastic linear equations. This criterion says that, in order to have approximate controllability, the only locally in time viable subset of a certain linear space has to be the trivial set. The objective of our paper is to extend the results in Refs. 3 and 1 to the general case where the control is allowed to act on the noise (i.e. rank(D) ≥ 0) without necessarily having D of full rank. We give a characterization of approximate controllability using the notion of local in time viability of a linear space V ⊂ Rn conditioned to another linear space U ⊂ Rn (a generalization of the concept of local in time viability (l.i.t.v.) introduced in Ref. 3). We prove that the study of the linear stochastic differential equation (1) can be reduced to an equation of the form dy(t) = (Ay(t) + B1 u0 (t) + B2 u00 (t))dt + (Cy(t) + D1 u0 (t))dW (t), n

where A, C ∈ L(R , R ), B1 , D1 ∈ L(R , R ), B2 ∈ L(R , R ) and rank D1 = r . For this equation, we establish the equivalence between approximate controllability, approximate null controllability and some conditional viability criterion. Finally, an easily computable condition is provided. 2. Preliminaries Let us recall the following definition of approximate controllability Definition 2.1. We say that the equation (1) is approximately controllable if, for all x ∈ Rn , all T > 0, all η ∈ L2 (Ω;FT ; P ;Rn ), and all ε > 0, there

exists an admissible control u such that h i 2 E |y(T, x, u) − η| ≤ ε. Moreover, we say that the equation (1) is approximately null controllable if the above condition holds for the particular case η = 0. In order to obtain computable algebraic criteria for approximate controllability in the case where the control is not allowed to act on the noise (i.e. D = 0), the authors of Ref. 3 use the notion of strict invariance. This concept (slightly modified) had already been used in Ref. 4 to obtain, by algebraic Riccati equation methods, a characterization of stochastic linear equations admitting a feedback that stabilizes the system for all noise intensities. Definition 2.2. Given m + 1 linear operators L; M1 ; ...; Mm ∈ L(Rn , Rn ), a linear subspace V ⊂ Rn is said to be (L; M1 ; ...; Mm )-strictly invariant if LV ⊂ Span{V ; M1 V ; ...; Mm V }. We notice that a linear subspace V ⊂ Rn is (L; M1 ; ...; Mm )-strictly invariant if and only if there exist operators K1 , ..., Km ∈ L(Rn , Rn ) such that Ki V ⊂ V and (L + M1 K1 + ... + Mm Km )V ⊂ V or, equivalently, if and only if for all v ∈ V there exist w1 , ..., wm ∈ V such that Lv + M1 w1 + ... + Mm wm ∈ V. Since we allow the control to act on the noise, we have to require a stronger property than strict invariance. Namely, we give the following Definition, which extends the notion of strict invariance used in Ref. 3 to establish a characterization of l.i.t.v. Definition 2.3. Given the linear operators L, M, N ∈ L(Rn , Rn ) and two linear subspaces V ⊂ Rn and U ⊂ Rn , we say that V is (L; M )-strictly invariant conditioned to (N, U ) if for all v ∈ V there exists w ∈ V such that w − N v ∈ U and Lv + M w ∈ V. Remark 2.1. It is easy to see that V is (L; M )-strictly invariant conditioned to (N, U ) if and only if there exists a linear operator K ∈ L(Rn , Rn ) such that KV ⊂ V , (K − N )V ⊂ U and (L + M K)V ⊂ V . Remark 2.2. For all N it can be easily observed that V is (L; M )-strictly invariant conditioned to (N, Rn ) if and only if it is (L; M )-strictly invariant (i.e., if U = Rn is the full space we find the notion of strict invariance).

Remark 2.3. For arbitrary linear subspaces V, U ⊂ Rn , the largest subspace of V which is (L; M )-strictly invariant conditioned to (N, U ) can be obtained in at most n iterations by considering the following schema V0 = V ; Vi+1 = {v ∈ Vi : M ((U + N v) ∩ Vi ) ∩ (Vi − Lv) 6= ϕ} , i ∈ N. 3. The Dual Equation We consider the following backward stochastic differential equation ½ dp(t) = − (A∗ p(t) + C ∗ q(t)) dt + q(t)dW (t), 0 ≤ t ≤ T, p(T ) = η ∈ L2 (Ω, FT , P ; Rn ).

(4)

It has been established in Ref. 5 that for all T > 0 and all η ∈ L2 (Ω, FT , P ; Rn ) Eq. (4) admits a unique solution (p, q) ∈ M 2 (0, T ; Rn ) × M 2 (0, T ; Rn ) (where M 2 (0, T ; Rn ) stands for the set of Rn -valued processes which are Ft -progressively measurable and square integrable over Ω × [0,hT ] with respect to i P ⊗dt). Moreover, p has continuous trajectories 2 and E sups∈[0,T ] |p(s)| < ∞. We are able at this point to prove the connection between approximate controllability for Eq. (1) and the backward stochastic differential equation Eq. (4): Proposition 3.1. The equation (1) is approximately-controllable if and only if, for all T > 0, every solution of (4) such that B ∗ p(s) + D∗ q(s) = 0, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ] is trivial. Moreover, the equation (1) is approximately null controllable if and only if, for all T > 0, every solution of (4) such that B ∗ p(s) + D∗ q(s) = 0, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ] satisfies p(0) = 0. Proof. Let us fix T ≥ 0. Using Itô’s formula for hp(T ), y(T, x, u)i we have "Z # T E [hp(T ), y(T, x, u)i]−E[hp(0), xi] = E hB ∗ p(s)+D∗ q(s), u(s)i ds (5) 0

We denote by L2P ([0, T ], Rd ) the hR space of iall predictable processes T u : Ω × [0, ∞[−→ Rd satisfying E 0 |u(s)|2 ds < ∞ and consider the linear operator MT given by MT : L2P ([0, T ], Rd ) −→ L2 (Ω, FT , P ; Rn ), MT u = y(T, 0, u).

linear operator is dense if and only if the kernel of its adjoint is trivial and the uniqueness and the continuity of the solution of Eq. (4) to get η = 0 if and only if p(s) = 0, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ] and q(s) = 0 dsdP -almost everywhere on [0, T ] × Ω. In order to prove the second assertion in our statement, we introduce the linear operator LT : Rn −→ L2 (Ω, FT , P ; Rn ), LT x = y(T, x, 0).

(7)

It is obvious that approximate null controllability is equivalent to the fact that for all T > 0, LT [Rn ] ⊂ MT [L2P ([0, T ], Rd )] (or Ker (MT∗ ) ⊂ Ker (L∗T )). To conclude the proof of this second part, we use (5) for u = 0 and obtain L∗T η = p(0). The conclusion follows. ¤ In Ref. 1, for the case where D is a full rank matrix, the author was able to transform the equation into the equivalent form dy(t) = (Ay(t) + A1 u0 (t) + Bu00 (t))dt + u0 (t)dW (t), 0 ≤ t ≤ T.

(8)

Using this idea, for the case where 0 ≤ rank D = r ≤ n, we get the following linear stochastic differential equation, which is in fact equivalent to Eq. (1): dy(t) = (Ay(t) + B1 u0 (t) + B2 u00 (t))dt + (Cy(t) + D1 u0 (t))dW (t), where A, C ∈ L(Rn , Rn ), B1 , D1 ∈ L(Rr , Rn ), B2 ∈ L(Rd−r , Rn ) and rank D1 = r. Since rank D1 = r we establish the existence of F ∈ L(Rn , Rn ) solution of D1∗ F + B1∗ = 0. In this case, the dual equation becomes ½ dp(t) = [−(A∗ + C ∗ F )p(t) − C ∗ q(t)] dt + (F p(t) + q(t))dW (t), (9) p(T ) = η. From Ref. 5, Theorem 4.1, we have that for all T > 0 and all η ∈ L2 (Ω, FT , P ; Rn ), the backward stochastic differential equation (9) admits an unique solution (p, q) ∈ M 2 (0, T ; Rn ) × M 2 (0, T ; Rn ) such that p has continuous trajectories and " # sup |p(s)|2 < ∞.

and, with the same arguments as for the previous proposition we can prove Proposition 3.2. The equation (3) is approximately-controllable if and only if, for all T > 0, every solution of (9) such that B2∗ p(s) = 0 and D1∗ q(s) = 0, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ] is trivially reduced to 0. Moreover, the equation (3) is approximately null controllable if and only if, for all T > 0, every solution of (9) such that B2∗ p(s) = 0 and D1∗ q(s) = 0, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ] satisfies p(0) = 0. Approximate controllability property for (3) can be expressed with the help of the following quadratic cost function (Z T hD E J(θ, q(·)) = E Π(Ker B2∗ )⊥ p(t, q, θ), p(t, q, θ) 0

Indeed, let us consider the Stochastic Linear Quadratic optimal control problem (SLQ) For each θ ∈ Rn find an admissible control q(·) such that not

J(θ, q(·)) = inf J(θ, q(·)) = V (θ) Definition 3.1. The (SLQ) problem is said to be (1) solvable at θ ∈ Rn if there exists an admissible control q(·) such that J(θ, q(·)) = V (θ). In this case, q(·) is called an optimal control. (2) pathwise uniquely solvable at θ ∈ Rn if it is solvable at θ and, whenever q1 (·) and q2 (·) are two optimal controls on the same space, it holds P ({q1 (t) = q2 (t), for almost every t ∈ [0, T ]}) = 1. The following proposition gives the connection between approximate controllability, approximate null controllability and the (SLQ) problem. Proposition 3.3. We have equivalence between the following assertions: (i) The equation (3) is approximately-controllable. (ii) For all T > 0, all θ ∈ Rn , and all q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], Ker D1∗ ) such that B2∗ p(s, q, θ) = 0, P − a.s.., for all s ∈ [0, T ] it must hold that q(s) = 0 dsdP -almost everywhere on [0, T ] × Ω and θ = 0; ½ a) The (SLQ) problem is pathwise uniquely solvable at θ=0; (iii) b) The equation (3) is approximately null controllable.

Proof. We only have to prove the equivalence between the last two assertions. Let us suppose that (ii) holds true. It is obvious that (SLQ) is solvable at θ = 0 and that q(·) ≡ 0 is an optimal control process. If we consider q(·) to be another optimal control at θ = 0, we must have J(0, q(·)) = 0. Therefore, we get q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], Ker D1∗ ) and B2∗ p(s, q, θ) = 0, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ]. We now use (ii) to obtain that q(s) = 0 dsdP -almost everywhere on [0, T ] × Ω and the condition (iii) in the statement is proved. For the converse, let us fix T > 0, θ ∈ Rn , and q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], Ker D1∗ ) such that B2∗ p(s, q, θ) = 0, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ]. Since (3) is approximately null controllable we get θ = 0 and J(0, q(·)) = 0. Thus, q(·) is an optimal control for (SLQ) at θ = 0 and the pathwise uniqueness yields q(s) = 0 dsdP -almost everywhere on [0, T ] × Ω. The proof is now complete.

¤

Remark 3.1. The previous proposition shows that, in order for Eq. (3) to be approximately -controllable, (SLQ) must be pathwise uniquely solvable at 0. The backward stochastic differential equation (9) may be interpreted as the following forward differential equation ½ dp(t) = [−(A∗ + C ∗ F )p(t) − C ∗ q(t)] dt + (F p(t) + q(t))dW (t); (10) p(0) = θ ∈ Rn . Therefore, for all θ ∈ Rn , all linear subspace V ⊂ Rn , and all q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], V ) there exists an unique predictable solution p(·, q, h i θ) of (10)

with continuous trajectories such that E sups∈[0,T ] |p(s, q, θ)|2 < ∞. The approximate controllability conditions given by Proposition 3.2 become Proposition 3.4. The equation (3) is approximately-controllable if and only if, for all T > 0, all θ ∈ Rn , and all q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], Ker D1∗ ) such that B2∗ p(s, q, θ) = 0, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ], it holds q(s) = 0, dsdP -almost everywhere on [0, T ] × Ω and θ = 0 . The equation (3) is approximately null controllable if and only if, for all T > 0, all θ ∈ Rn and all q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], Ker D1∗ ) such that B2∗ p(s, q, θ) = 0, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ], it holds θ = 0.

4. Conditional Local in Time Viability Motivated by Proposition 3.4, we extend the notion of ”local in time viability” to ”conditional local in time viability”. Definition 4.1. Let U, V ⊂ Rn be two linear subspaces of Rn . The family of all θ ∈ V for which there exists a T > 0 and q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], U ) such that p(s, q, θ) ∈ V, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ] is called the viability kernel of V conditioned to U with respect to Eq. (10) (we denote this set by V iab(V /U )). Moreover, we say that V is local in time viable conditioned to U with respect to Eq. (10) if V iab(V /U ) = V. If U and V are two linear subspaces of Rn , we denote by ΠU ⊥ (respectively ΠV ⊥ ) the orthogonal projections on U ⊥ (respectively V ⊥ ). For all N ≥ 1, let us consider the following Riccati equations with values in S n (the family of symmetric, non-negative matrix of n × n type):  0 PN (s) = −PN (s)(A∗ + C ∗ F ) − (A + F ∗ C)PN (s) + F ∗ PN (s)F    −(F ∗ P (s)−P (s)C ∗ )(I+N Π ⊥ +P (s))−1 (P (s)F −CP (s))  N N N N N U (11) +N Π , ⊥ V     PN (T ) = 0; Ito’s formula applied to hPN (T − t)p(t), p(t)i yields E[hPN (T − t)p(t), p(t)i] "Z # T¡ ¢ 2 2 2 =E N (|ΠV ⊥ p(s)| +|ΠU ⊥ q(s)| )+|q(s)| ds "Z

where fN (PN (s)) = I + N ΠU ⊥ + PN (T − s). Since I + N ΠU ⊥ À 0 (that is I + N ΠU ⊥ is positive) and N ΠV ⊥ ≥ 0 (that is N ΠV ⊥ is nonnegative), the Riccati equation (11) admits a unique solution with values in S n (see Ref. 6, condition (4.23) and Theorem 7.2). Proposition 4.1. The viability kernel of V conditioned to U with respect to Eq. (10) has the following representation: n o V iab(V |U ) = θ ∈ V : ∃T > 0 s.t. lim hPN (T )θ, θi < ∞ . N →∞

Proof. Let us consider θ ∈ V iab(V |U ). Then, there exist T > 0 and q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], U ) such that p(s, q, θ) ∈ V, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ]. We RT recall that (12) holds true and get E [hPN (T )θ, θi] ≤ E 0 |q(s)|2 ds. For the converse, we may choose, for all N, the optimal control process q N ∈ L2P ([0, T ], Rn ) and, again by (12), we have ∞ > E [hPN (T )θ, θi] # "Z T ¡ ¢ =E N (|ΠV ⊥ p(s, q N , θ)|2 + |ΠU ⊥ q N (s)|2 ) + |q N (s)|2 ds . 0

The sequence (q N )N ≥0 is bounded in L2P ([0, T ], Rn ), and there exists a suitable subsequence (still denoted by (q N )N ≥0 ) such that q N converges to q weakly in L2P ([0, T ], Rn ). Since (10) is affine in q, we get the convergence p(s, q N , θ) → p(s, q, θ). Therefore, we have ΠV ⊥ p(s, q, θ) = 0 P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ]. On the other hand, it can be easily seen that # "Z T

In particular, the conditional viability kernel is locally in time viable.

Proof. Let us consider θ ∈ V iab (V |U ). Then, there exist T > 0 and q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], U ) such that p(s, q, θ) ∈ V, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ]. Therefore, using (12), we have "Z # T

Thus, by a monotone convergence argument and Proposition 4.1, we infer that p(s, q, θ) ∈ V iab(V |U ) P − a.s. ¤ 5. The Main Result We are now able to prove our main result: Theorem 5.1. We have equivalence between the following assertions: (1) The equation (3) is approximately-controllable. (2) The equation (3) is approximately null controllable. (3) The viability kernel of Ker B2∗ conditioned to Ker D1∗ is trivial. Proof. We only have to prove (3) =⇒ (1). In order to establish the result, suppose that V iab(Ker B2∗ |Ker D1∗ ) is trivial and let q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], KerD1∗ ) such that p(s, q, θ) ∈ Ker B2∗ , P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ]. We get θ = 0, and p(s, q, θ) ∈ V iab(Ker B2∗ |Ker D1∗ ). Therefore, p(s, q, θ) = 0, P − a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ]. Recall that p(·, q, θ) is the solution of Eq. (10) to conclude q(s) = 0, dsdP -almost everywhere on [0, T ] × Ω. ¤ The following theorem gives a method to obtain conditional local in time viability using conditional strict invariance, thus providing an algebraic criterion for approximate controllability. Theorem 5.2. The linear subspace V ⊂ Rn is local in time viable conditioned to the linear subspace U ⊂ Rn with respect to (10) if and only if V is (A∗ ; C ∗ )-strictly invariant conditioned to (F, U ). Proof. Let us first suppose that V is (A∗ ; C ∗ )-strictly invariant conditioned to (F, U ). We wish to prove that V is local in time viable conditioned to U. In order to prove this, it suffices to notice that there exists a linear operator K ∈ L(Rn , Rn ) such that KV ⊂ V , (K − F )V ⊂ U and (A∗ + C ∗ K)V ⊂ V. Indeed, for any θ ∈ V, we consider the linear stochastic differential equation ½ dp(t) = −(A∗ + C ∗ K)p(t)dt + Kp(t)dW (t), p(0) = θ.

Obviously, the solution of this equation is in V. Moreover, if we set q(t) = (K − F )p(t) ∈ U , we notice that p(t, q(t), θ) = p(t) ∈ V for all t > 0. For the converse let us fix θ ∈ V. We suppose that p(s, q, θ) ∈ V, P −a.s., for all s ∈ [0, T ], for some T > 0 and q ∈ L2P ([0, T ], U ). We multiply (10) with (I − ΠV ) to obtain  ∗ ∗ ∗  d(I − ΠV )p(t) = (I − ΠV ) [−(A + C F )p(t) − C q(t)] dt + (I − ΠV )(F p(t) + q(t))dW (t),  p(0) = θ. Since we have supposed that p(s, q, θ) ∈ V, P − a.s., the quadratic variation of (I − ΠV )p is zero (i.e. F p(t) + q(t) ∈ V, dtdP -almost everywhere on [0, T ] × Ω). Moreover, we have (I − ΠV ) [−(A∗ + C ∗ F )p(t) − C ∗ q(t)] = 0, dtdP -almost everywhere on [0, T ] × Ω. At this point, we consider the linear subspace W ⊂ V W = {θ ∈ V s.t. ∃α ∈ V : α − F θ ∈ U, A∗ θ + C ∗ α ∈ V } . It is straightforward that p(t, q, θ)∈W, dtdP -almost everywhere on [0, T ]×Ω. We use the continuity of the trajectories of p to finally get θ ∈ W. This implies that V = W (i.e. V is (A∗ ; C ∗ )-strictly invariant conditioned to (F, U )). ¤ Since the viability kernel of Ker B2∗ conditioned to Ker D1∗ is locally in time viable conditioned to Ker D1∗ , we deduce that V iab(KerB2∗ |KerD1∗ ) is the largest space which is (A∗ ; C ∗ )-strictly invariant conditioned to (F, KerD1∗ ) for some F solution for the equation D1∗ F + B1∗ = 0. Thus, we can state our final result Theorem 5.3. We have equivalence between the following assertions: (1) The equation (3) is approximately-controllable. (2) The equation (3) is approximately null controllable. (3) The largest linear subspace of KerB2∗ which is (A∗ ; C ∗ )-strictly invariant conditioned to (F, KerD1∗ ) is the trivial subspace {0}. The latter assertion is easily computable as seen in the Remark 2.3. References 1. S.G. Peng, Backward stochastic differential equation and exact controllability of stochastic control systems, Progr.

NUMERICAL SOLUTIONS OF TWO-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS FOR ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS USING PARTICULAR NEWTON INTERPOLATING SERIES GHIOCEL GROZA1 and NICOLAE POP2 1 Department

Science, Victoriei 76, 43012, Baia Mare, Romania E-mail: nic [email protected] Approximate solutions of two-point boundary value problems for linear differential equations are studied. An approximative solution is a partial sum of a series constructed by means of Newton interpolating polynomials which verify the boundary conditions. Keywords: Newton interpolating series; Two-point boundary value problem.

1. Introduction Consider a sequence of real numbers {xk }k≥1 . In this paper we study the socalled Newton interpolating series defined in Section 2 by means of Newton interpolating polynomials Nn (x), n≥1 at x1 , x2 , ..., xn+1 . These series are useful generalization of power series which, in particular forms, were used in number theory to prove the transcendence of some values of exponential series. Taking into account the importance of power series in the theory of initial value problems for differential equations, it seems to be very useful to study Newton interpolating series in order to find the solution of the multipoint boundary value problem for differential equations. Section 3 deals with functions which are representable into Newton interpolating series. Theorem 1 gives a criterion for a function to be representable into a Newton interpolating series. The representation of solutions of linear differential equations into Newton interpolating series are considered in Section 4, Theorem 2. An appli-

We say that f can be represented into Newton interpolating series at {xk }k≥1 if there exists a series of the form (3) which converges uniformly to f on [0,1].

Hence Nn (x) converges uniformly to f and the function is represented into a Newton interpolating series at {xk }k≥1 . By taking x = xk , k = 1, 2, ... it follows the uniqueness. ¤ Corollary 3.1. Suppose f : [0, 1] → R is a C ∞ function and there exists C > 0 such that for every s f verifies the condition Ms ≤ C(s − 1)!

(15)

and xk , k = 1, 2, ... are given by (4) or (5). Then f can be represented uniquely into a Newton interpolating series, the derivative Newton interpolating series of f is well defined and f 0 can be represented uniquely into a Newton interpolating series given by the derivative series of f which is obtained by termwise differentiation of Newton interpolating series of f . Proof. If xk are given by (4) the corollary follows from Ref. 1, Corollary 2.2. We remak that u0k (x) =

(24) It is well known that the solutions of this equation are also analytic functions (e.g. Ref. 2, Ch. IV, or Ref. 3, Sec. 3.4). We shall prove that these solutions can be represented into Newton interpolating series at {xk }k≥1 where xk is given by (4) or (5). Firstly we prove the following result. Lemma 4.1.

because Λ is monotone (by (H2) i)). Next we shall prove that A is maximal monotone.

(8)

The operator A0 is monotone, single-valued, everywhere defined and continuous. Then by Proposition 2.4 in Ref. 8 we deduce that A0 is maximal monotone and so the equation (8) (and also the problem (6)) has a unique solution. Using the same argument used before, we deduce that the problem (7) (here H = IR) has a unique solution ((pn )n , (qn )n ) ∈ (l2 (IR))2 .

Therefore, by Corollary 1.3, Chapter II in Ref. 7 we deduce that Λ1 +Λ2 is maximal monotone and coercive, then the equation (12) has a unique solution (ζ, wT )T ∈ D(Λ2 ). By (10) we obtain a ∈ H, which together with w satisfy the equation (9). So we proved the existence of solution U = ((un )n , (vn )n , w) ∈ D(A) of the system (4). Therefore the operator A is maximal monotone in X.

Proof of Theorem 2.1. The operator A + B : D(A) ∩ D(B) ⊂ X → X has D(A) ∩ D(B) = {((un )n , (vn )n , w) ∈ X, un ∈ D(A), vn ∈ D(B), n ≥ 1, (u1 , wT )T ∈ D(Λ), {(cn A(un ))n }, {(dn B(vn ))n } ⊂ l2 (H)} 6= ∅, by (H1) i), (H3). We suppose again, for an easy writing that A, B and Λ are single-valued. We firstly suppose that (H4) i) holds. The operator A + B is monotone, because A and B are monotone. To prove that A + B is maximal monotone, we shall prove that for any F0 = ((fn0 )n , (gn0 )n , ζ 0 ) ∈ X the equation U + A(U ) + B(U ) = F0 has a solution U ∈ D(A) ∩ D(B). For, let F0 ∈ X be done.

By the properties of Aλ and Bλ we deduce that Bλ is everywhere defined in X, single-valued, monotone and continuous. Using also Theorem 3.1 (A is maximal monotone), it follows that A + Bλ is maximal monotone, for each λ > 0. Hence, for each λ > 0 the problem (16) has a solution U λ = ((uλn )n , (vnλ )n , wλ ) ∈ D(A).

that is we have (15). Next, by uλn → un and vnλ → vn , as λ → 0, strongly in H, we deduce that JλA uλn → un , JλB vnλ → vn , as λ → 0, strongly in H, for all n ≥ 1. Because {Aλ (uλn ); λ > 0}, {Bλ (vnλ ); λ > 0}, n ≥ 1 are bounded (from (20), for any n fixed we have kcn Aλ (uλn )k ≤ const., so kAλ (uλn )k ≤ c1n const., for all λ > 0), and A, B are demiclosed, we deduce that un ∈ D(A), vn ∈ D(B), for all n ≥ 1 and Aλ (uλn ) → pn , Bλ (vnλ ) → qn , as λ → 0, weakly in H, (eventually on some subsequences) and pn = A(un ), qn = B(vn ), for all n ≥ 1. By passing to λ → 0 in (17)+(18) we deduce that U = ((un )n , (vn )n , w), w = (w1 , ..., wm )T , is a solution for (14)+(15).

By (14) we obtain (cn A(un ))n , (dn B(vn ))n ∈ l2 (H), so U ∈ D(A) ∩ D(B) and A + B is maximal monotone. If (H4) ii) holds, by Theorems 3.1 and 1.2 we have that A and B are maximal monotone with intD(A) = {((un )n , (vn )n , w) ∈ X, (u1 , w1 , ..., wm )T ∈ intD(Λ)}, and so intD(A)∩D(B) 6= ∅. Therefore, by Corollaire 2.7 in Ref. 8 we deduce that A + B is maximal monotone. Proof of Theorem 2.2. By Theorem 2.1 the operator A + B : D(A) ∩ D(B) ⊂ X → X is maximal monotone in X. Using Theorem 2.2 and Corollary 2.1, Chapter III in Ref. 7, we deduce that for U0 = ((un0 )n , (vn0 )n , w0 ) ∈ D(A) ∩ D(B), w0 = (w10 , ..., wm0 )T and Fe = ((fn )n , (gn )n ) ∈ W 1,1 (0, T ; (l2 (H))2 ), the problem (P) has an unique strong solution U = ((un )n , (vn )n , w) ∈ W 1,∞ (0, T ; X), w = (w1 , ..., wm )T , U (t) ∈ D(A) ∩ D(B), ∀ t ∈ [0, T ). By extending correspondingly the functions fn , gn , n≥1, in the interval [0, T +ε], with ε > 0, we obtain U (T ) ∈ D(A) ∩ D(B). The solution U is everywhere differentiable from right and d+ U (t) = (F (t) − A(U (t)) − B(U (t)))0 , ∀ t ∈ [0, T ), dt that is the relations (1) are verified. In addition we have ° ° ° + Z t° ° °d U ° ° dF 0 ° ° ° ° ° dt (t)° ≤ k(F (0)−A(U0 )−B(U0 )) kX + ° ds (s)° ds, ∀ t ∈ [0, T ). 0 X X Proof of Theorem 3.1.

Indeed, for all U = ((un )n , (vn )n , w), U =((un )n , (v n )n , w) ∈ D(A) ∩ D(B), w=(w1 , ..., wm )T , w=(w1 , ..., wm )T , Z ∈ (A + B)(U ), Z ∈ (A + B)(U ) we have ∞ X ® h(a0 cn kun − un k2 + b0 dn kvn − v n k2 ) Z − Z, U − U X ≥ +

WELL-POSEDNESS FOR A NON-AUTONOMOUS MODEL OF FAST DIFFUSION GABRIELA MARINOSCHI Institute of Mathematical Statistics and Applied Mathematics Calea 13 Septembrie 13, 050711 Bucharest, Romania, E-mail: [email protected] The paper deals with the study of the well-posedness of a non-autonomous nonlinear model of fast diffusion involving a blowing-up diffusivity. In particular it can describe the water infiltration in a porous medium characterized by the time and space variability of the pore structure. The model turns into an abstract Cauchy problem with a time dependent nonlinear multivalued operator in a Hilbert space. Results concerning the existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved. Numerical results intended to show the influence of the variable porosity upon the flow are provided. Keywords: Fast-diffusion; Non-autonomous evolution equations; m-accretive operators; Infiltration in porous media.

1. Introduction Let Ω be an open bounded subset of RN , (N = 1, 2, 3), with a piecewise smooth boundary Γ := ∂Ω. We assume that Γ = Γu ∪ Γα , where Γu and Γα are disjoint smooth subsets of the boundary. We denote the space variable by x = (x1 , x2 , x3 ) ∈ Ω and the time by t ∈ (0, T ), T > 0. Also, we shall denote by i = (i1 , i2 , i3 ) the unit vector in the reference system with Ox3 downwards directed and by ν the outward normal to the boundary Γ. We are concerned with the boundary value problem with initial data ∂(m(x, t)v) − ∆β ∗ (v) + ∇ · K(v) 3 f, in Q = Ω × (0, T ), ∂t v(x, 0) = v0 (x), in Ω, K(v) · ν − ∇β ∗ (v) 3 u(x, t), on Σu = Γu × (0, T ), v(x, t) = 0, on Σα = Γα × (0, T ).

The meaning of these equations will be explained a little farther by the definition of the weak solution.

Problem Hypotheses Let vs ∈ (0, +∞) be a constant. Let β : (−∞, vs ) → [ρ, +∞) be a positive, continuous, monotonically increasing function on (0, vs ), with β(r) ≡ ρ on (−∞, 0]. We assume that β satisfies the hypotheses: (iβ ) β(r) ≥ ρ > 0, ∀r < vs , (iiβ ) lim β(r) = +∞, r%vs

(iii) lim β ∗ (r) = Ks∗ . r%vs

We also notice that β ∗ is convex. The vector K(r) has the components Kj : (−∞, vs ]→[0, Ksj ], j=1, 2, 3, Kj (r) = 0 for r < 0 and Kj (vs ) = Ksj ∈ (0, ∞). The functions Kj are monotonically increasing and Lipschitz continuous for r ≤ vs . Hence, there exists M > 0, such that (iiK ) |K(r) − K(r)| ≤ M |r − r| , ∀r, r ≤ vs . Finally, we assume that ∂m ∈ C 1 (Q), ∂t m(x, t) ∈ [m1 , m2 ], ∀(x, t) ∈ Q, where m1 , m2 ∈ R, m1 > 0. m ∈ C 1 (Q), mt :=

By the hypotheses (iiβ ) and (iiiβ ) the first equation in (2) is associated to a fast diffusion (see e.g., Ref. 1). Moreover, this equation is assigned to the diffusion with transport in porous media and, in particular, to the water infiltration in soils. In this context v is the water saturation, β is the water diffusivity and K is the water conductivity vector. The presence of the function m can describe either a porous medium with a time and space dependent porosity or a sorption-desorption process in which water may be sorbed and kept for a while by the solid and released totally or partially into the fluid after some time. We have to add that in the case of water

Well-posedness for a Model of Fast Diffusion

infiltration in soils, θ(x, t) = m(x, t)v(x, t) is the volumetric water content, or the moisture of the soil. Obviously, some other boundary conditions can be considered, but we have chosen these ones being motivated by a practical interest in water infiltration into soils. The flux boundary condition on the upper boundary Σu represents the inflow due to a water supply (rain) and the condition on Σα expresses the fact that the domain is large enough and moisture does not reach this boundary. Previous existence and uniqueness studies for solutions to the ellipticparabolic problems leading to equations of type (2) with m constant have been presented in the literature especially using a technique inspired by the method of entropy solutions introduced by S.N. Krushkov in Ref. 2. Other studies following Krushkov’s method are due to J. Carillo (see Refs. 3–5), F. Otto (see Ref. 6), H.W. Alt and S. Luckhaus (see Ref. 7). We mention also the paper of E. Chasseigne and J.L. Vazquez (see Ref. 8) and the papers of J.L. Vazquez (see Ref. 9,10) related to fast diffusion equations. In the paper Ref. 11 a model of the saturated-unsaturated flow lying on a special definition of the boundary conditions that changes during the phenomenon evolution, has been developed for a finite value of the diffusivity at saturation. The model studied in this paper was introduced in Ref. 1. For m constant the well-posedness of such models of diffusion was approached in the papers Ref. 12–14 (the last for a superdiffusion model), using techniques from the theory of evolution equations with m-accretive operators in Hilbert spaces. In this paper we shall investigate the existence of the solution to the model with m time and space variable, in relation with the results of Kato, proved in Ref. 15 and extended by Crandall and Pazy in Ref. 16 to general cases involving quasi m-accretive operators.

Functional Framework We consider the Hilbert space V := {v ∈ H 1 (Ω); v = 0 on Γα } ³R ´1/2 2 with the norm kvkV = Ω |∇v(x)| dx and its dual, V 0 . We endow V 0 with the scalar product (v, v)V 0 := v(ψ)

The function j is proper, convex and lower semicontinuous (see Ref. 1). The purpose to our paper is to study the existence and uniqueness of the solution to (2), as introduced by Definition 1, or equivalently, of the solution to the non-autonomous Cauchy problem (12). 2. The Approximating Problem Since the operator A is multivalued we shall first investigate an approximating problem obtained by replacing the multivalued function β ∗ by the continuous approximation βε∗ defined for each ε > 0 by ( β ∗ (r), if r < vs − ε (15) βε∗ (r) := K ∗ −β ∗ (v −ε) β ∗ (vs − ε) + s ε s (r − vs ), if r ≥ vs − ε. This function is differentiable on R, except at r = vs (it has bounded lateral derivatives at vs but they do not coincide) and we denote ( β(r), if r < vs − ε (16) βε (r) := Ks∗ −β ∗ (vs −ε) , if r ≥ vs − ε. ε Moreover, βε (r)≥ρ, ∀r∈R, βε∗ satisfies (i) all over on R, βε∗ (vs )=Ks∗ and (iv) lim βε∗ (r) = +∞. r→∞

We extend the functions Kj by Kj (vs ) at the right of vs , but since they do not depend on ε and for the sake of simplicity we shall denote this extension by K, too. Therefore, we get the approximating problem dθ (t) + Aε (t)θ(t) = f (t) + fΓu (t), a.e. t ∈ (0, T ), (17) dt θ(0) = θ0 , where Aε (t) : D(Aε (t)) ⊂ V 0 → V 0 is defined by ¶ µ ¶ ¶ µ Z µ z(x) z(x) ∗ hAε (t)z, ψiV 0 ,V := ∇βε ·∇ψ−K ·∇ψ dx, ∀ψ∈V (18) m(x, t) m(x, t) Ω and

and notice that ∂jε (r)=βε∗ (r) (this is in fact the Gâteaux differential of jε ). We remark that we cannot apply Lions’ theorem for the nonautonomous case in order to prove the existence of the solution to (17) because the operator Aε (t) if were defined from V to V 0 would be not monotone. That is why we introduced it as an unbounded operator from V 0 to V 0 and we shall approach the problem in the framework of the evolution equations with m-accretive operators in Hilbert spaces. To this end we prove first a lemma that gathers some important properties of Aε (t). Lemma 2. Let Aε (t) be the operator defined by (18). (a) The domain of the operator Aε (t) is independent of t and D(Aε (t)) = D(Aε (0)) = V. (b) For each ε > 0 and t ∈ [0, T ] fixed, the operator Aε (t) is quasi m-accretive on V 0 . (c) For θ ∈ V and 0 ≤ s, t ≤ T we have kAε (t)θ − Aε (s)θkV 0 ≤ |t − s| g (kθkV 0 ) (kA(t)θkV 0 + 1), where g : [0, ∞) → [0, ∞) is a nondecreasing function.

Now we can pass to the proof of the existence and uniqueness results for problem (12). 3. Main Results Theorem 3. Let m ∈ C 1 (Q), mt ∈ C 1 (Q), v0 ∈ L2 (Ω), v0 (x) ≤ vs a.e. x ∈ Ω, f ∈ L2 (0, T ; V 0 ), u ∈ L2 (0, T ; L2 (Γu )).

(33)

Then, the Cauchy problem (12) has a unique solution v ∈ C([0, T ]; L2 (Ω)) ∩ L2 (0, T ; V ), v(x, t) ≤ vs a.e. (x, t) ∈ Q mv ∈ C([0, T ]; L2 (Ω)) ∩ L2 (0, T ; V ) ∩ W 1,2 (0, T ; V 0 ), β ∗ (v) ∈ L2 (0, T ; V ).

(34)

Proof. The proof will be done in three steps and is essentially based on the quasi m-accretivity of the operator Aε (t).

Step 1. In this part we shall transform the Cauchy problem (17) into an equivalent homogeneous problem, according to a technique developed in Ref. 17. This transformation is necessary in order to prove the existence of the solution to the approximating non-autonomous problem (17) using a result given in Ref. 16. First, let us assume that f ∈ W 1,1 (0, ∞; V 0 ), fΓu ∈ W 1,1 (0, ∞; V 0 ), v0 =

θ0 ∈ V, m0

(35)

where m0 = m(x, 0). We denote F = f + fΓu ∈ W 1,1 (0, ∞; V 0 ) and introduce the space X := V 0 × L1 (0, ∞; V 0 ) with the norm µ ¶ Z ∞ θ 2 2 kΘkX = kθkV 0 + ∈ X. kγ(s)kV 0 ds, for Θ = γ 0 Then we define the operator Aε (t) : D(Aε (t)) = D(Aε (t)) × W 1,1 (0, ∞; V 0 ) ⊂ X → X by

µ Aε (t)(w, γ) =

Aε (t)w − γ(0) −γ 0

¶ ,

(36)

for all (w, γ) ∈ D(Aε (t)) × W 1,1 (0, ∞; V 0 ). If we denote µ ¶ θ(t) P(t) = , Γ(t)

(37)

where Γ ∈ W 1,∞ (0, T ; W 1,1 (0, ∞; V 0 )) is defined by Γ(t)(s) := F (t + s), ∀s ∈ (0, ∞),

(38)

we can write the problem dP (t) + Aε (t)P(t) = 0, a.e. t ∈ (0, T ), dt µ ¶ θ0 P(0) = . F (s)

(39)

It is easily seen that the problem corresponding to the first component in (39) is exactly (17). The operator Aε (t) satisfies the same properties proved for Aε (t) in Lemma 2. Indeed, its domain is time-independent and according to the results given in Refs. 17,18 it turns out that the operator Aε (t) is quasi m-accretive on X . Finally, the property (c) follows because 2

Consequently, we can apply the main result in Ref. 16 and assert that under the hypotheses (35) the problem (39) has a unique strong solution in the domain of the operator Aε (t), implying that problem (17) has a unique strong solution θε ∈ C([0, T ]; V 0 )∩W 1,2 (0, T ; V 0 ) with βε∗ (θε ) ∈ L2 (0, T ; V ). The latter implies also that θε ∈ L2 (0, T ; V ).

In this part we shall obtain the solution to (12) by passing to limit as ε → 0. The estimates (50) and (52) entitles us to deduce that on successive subsequences we have µ ¶ θε → ζ weakly in L2 (0, T ; V ), as ε → 0, βε∗ (53) m θε → v weakly in L2 (0, T ; V ), as ε → 0, (54) m θε → θ weakly in L2 (0, T ; V ), as ε → 0.

is bounded in L2 (0, T ; V 0 ), we get that

dθ dθε → weakly in L2 (0, T ; V 0 ), as ε → 0. dt dt

(56)

By (54) and (55) we deduce that θ = mv.

(57)

It still follows that θ(0) = θ0 . We conclude also that {θε }ε is compact in L2 (0, T ; L2 (Ω)), i.e., θε → θ strongly in L2 (0, T ; L2 (Ω)) as ε → 0.

(58)

The weakly convergence of βε∗ (vε ) to η ∈ β ∗ (v) may be proved like in Ref. 1 using the fact that ∂j(v(x, t) = β ∗ (v(x, t)) a.e. (x, t) ∈ Q. Finally we can pass to limit as ε → 0 in (19) and obtain (13). For the uniqueness we pass to the limit as ε → 0 in (41), using the weakly l.s.c. property and we get thus the uniqueness of θ. Since v = mθ, the result is obvious. ¤ Remark. If m is space dependent only we can treat the degenerate case for m(x) vanishing in Ω0 , an open bounded subset of Ω, with K a function of the form ½ K0 (x), if (x, t) ∈ Q0 = Ω0 × (0, T ), K(x, v) = Km (v), if (x, t) = Qm , Q = Qm ∪ Q0 . In the approximating problem previously introduced we replace m by mε (x) = ε + m(x) and all results remain true for the solution to problem (17). We notice that estimate (52) does not depend on ε (because CL = 0) and we can pass to the limit as ε → 0. However, a separate analysis in the domains Q0 and Qm has to be done and the uniqueness proof requires a few other intermediate results. The degenerate case with m(x) was studied in Ref. 19 (without transport) and in Ref. 1 for other boundary conditions. The degenerate case with m function of x and t can be handled in t| an analogous way as done for that with m(x). Because in this case |m m may blow up (and CL is no longer that given by (42)) we have to assume t| expressly that there exists a positive constant CL , such that |m m ≤ CL .This m2

t| implies that mt = |mt | |m m ≤ kmt kC 1 (Q) CL := CL1 and therefore estimate (52) does not depend on ε.

4. Numerical Results We illustrate the results previously developed by an example related to water infiltration into an isotropic, nonhomogeneous deformable soil. In this situation, water conductivity has only the vertical component K(v)i3 , so that the transport term in equation (2) reduces to ∂K(v) ∂x3 . The numerical computations have been performed with the Comsol Multiphysics 3.2 (see Ref. 20) for the dimensionless 1-D model using the following data: the domain is Ω = (0, 5), the time runs in (0, T ) with T = 1.5, c(c − 1) , for v ∈ [0, 1); β ∗ (v) = (c−1)v c−v , for v ∈ [0, 1], (c − v)2 (c − 1)v 2 , for v ∈ [0, 1], v0 (x) = (25 − x2 )/50, u(x, t) = 0.5. K(v) = c−v β(v) =

The parameter c ∈ (1, ∞) shows the degree of nonlinearity of the soil, i.e., if c is close to 1 then the soil behaves strongly nonlinear, and if c >> 1 the soil is weakly nonlinear. In the computations we used the value c = 1.02.

The simulations are intended to put into evidence the way in which the variable porosity of a strongly nonlinear soil influences the flow. To enhance the comparisons of the solutions we present the results of three simulations for 2

a) m = 0.5; b) m(x) = 0.5e−(x−2.5) + 0.1; 2 2 c) m(x, t) = 0.5e−[(x−2.5) +(t−0.75) ] + 0.1. The contour plots of the solution v and the breakthrough curves at some moments of time are illustrated for m = constant = 0.5, in Fig. 1a and Fig. 2a, respectively. The contour plots are the maps of the solution values in the plane (x, t) (with the space coordinate in the horizontal axis and the time in the vertical one) and the darker areas correspond to the highest values (close to saturation) of v. The breakthrough curves represent the graphics of the solution (in the vertical axis) along Ox (in the horizontal axis) at the times t = 0 (initial distribution of v), 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5. Figs. 1b and 2b and Figs. 1c and 2c show the contour plots and the breakthrough curves at the same times as before for the cases corresponding to m function of x and m function of both x and t, respectively. We can see how the extent of the saturation subdomains enlarges with the porosity increasing. Acknowledgment.

TRICHOTOMY FOR LINEAR SKEW-PRODUCT SEMIFLOWS MIHAIL MEGAN∗

In this paper we present the property of uniform trichotomy for skew-product semiflows in Banach spaces. We give several characterizations, the obtained theorems and propositions being generalizations of some well-known results on asymptotic behaviors of linear differential equations. There are also presented several examples of semiflows, cocycles and linear skew-product semiflows in Banach spaces. Keywords: Semiflow; Cocycle; Linear skew-product semiflow; Uniform exponential dichotomy; Uniform exponential trichotomy.

1. Preliminaries and Definitions In recent years, the fact that some nonlinear equations have been modelled by means of linear skew-product flows led to an important development of the respective theory, as in Ref. 1. Some questions concerning their asymptotic behavior have been answered by extending classical theorems for stability, expansiveness and dichotomy for equations on Banach sequence or function spaces in the case of cocycles in Banach spaces, as in Ref. 2 and 3. Let X be a metric space and F(X) the set of all functions f : X → X. Definition 1.1. A mapping ϕ : R+ × X → X is called a semiflow on X if it satisfies the following properties (s1 ) ϕ(0, x) = x for all x ∈ X (s2 ) ϕ(t + s, x) = ϕ(t, ϕ(s, x)) for all (t, s, x) ∈ R2+ × X.

If ϕ is a semiflow on X then we shall denote by Sϕ the function Sϕ : R+ → F(X) defined by Sϕ (t)x = ϕ(t, x) for all (t, x) ∈ R+ × X. Example 1.1. Let V be a Banach space and let X = C(R+ , V ) be the set of all continuous functions x : R+ → V . For each x ∈ X and t ∈ R+ we define the translate xt by xt (s) = x(t + s) for all (t, s) ∈ R2+ . We will assume that X is given with the topology of uniform convergence on bounded sets. In this case X is a metric space and the mapping ϕ : R+ × X → X, ϕ(t, x) = xt is a semiflow on X = C(R+ , V ) and Sϕ is the semigroup of translations. Let X be a metric space, V a Banach space and B(V ) the space of all bounded linear operators on V . Definition 1.2. A mapping Φ : R+ × X → B(V ) is called a cocycle over the semiflow ϕ : R+ × X → X on E = R+ × X if it satisfies the following properties (c1 ) Φ(0, x) = x for all x ∈ X (c2 ) Φ(t + s, x) = Φ(t, ϕ(s, x))Φ(s, x) for all (t, s, x) ∈ R2+ × X (c3 ) there exist M ≥ 1 and ω > 0 such that kΦ(t, x)vk ≤ M eωt kvk for all (t, x, v) ∈ E × V . Definition 1.3. If Φ is a cocycle over the semiflow ϕ on E = R+ × X then the function π : R+ × X × V → X × V defined by π(t, x, v) = (ϕ(t, x), Φ(t, x)v) for all (t, x, v) ∈ R+ × X × V is called a linear skew-product semiflow on X ×V. Note that there is a one-to-one correspondence between the linear skewproduct semiflows π and the pairs (ϕ, Φ) consisting of a semiflow ϕ and a cocycle Φ over ϕ. Linear skew-product semiflows arise rather naturally in the study of differential equations as the following example shows. Example 1.2. Let ϕ : R+ ×X → X be a continuous semiflow on a compact metric space X, V a Banach space and A : X → B(V ) a continuous mapping. For all x ∈ X the mapping t 7→ A(ϕ(t, x)) defines a continuous

Trichotomy for Linear Skew-product Semiflows

and bounded B(V )-valued function. If Φ denotes the fundamental solution of the linear differential equation v(t) ˙ = A(ϕ(t, x))v(t) then the function π(t, x, v) = (ϕ(t, x), Φ(t, x)v) is a linear skew-product semiflow on X × V . 2. On Uniform Exponential Trichotomy for Linear Skew-product Semiflows Let V be a given Banach space and let X be a metric space. We define the product space E = X × V. Definition 2.1. A mapping P : E → E is said to be a projector if P is continuous and has the form P (x, v) = (x, P (x)v) where P (x) is a linear projection on Ex = {x} × V . This means that P (x) : Ex → Ex is a bounded linear mapping that satisfies P (x)P (x) = P 2 (x) = P (x) for all x ∈ X. If P is a projector on E then the mapping Q : E → E given by Q(x, v) = (x, v − P (x)v) is also a projector on E, called the complementary projector to P . Definition 2.2. A projector P on E is said to be invariant if one has P (ϕ(t, x))Φ(t, x) = Φ(t, x)P (x) for all t ≥ 0 and x ∈ X. Remark 2.1. If the projector P is invariant, then the projector Q is invariant as well. Let π = (ϕ, Φ) be a linear skew-product semiflow on E = X × V . If λ ∈ R then we denote by Φλ the mapping Φλ : R+ × X → X defined by Φλ (t, x) = e−λt Φ(t, x). One refers to πλ = (ϕ, Φλ ) as the shifted linear skew-product semiflow.

The property of uniform exponential dichotomy is defined on similar basis as in Refs. 2,4 and 5. Definition 2.3. The linear skew-product semiflow π = (ϕ, Φ) has uniform exponential dichotomy on E with characteristics N and α, β, where N ≥ 1 and α < 0 < β, if there exist two projectors P and Q defined over E such that (ued1 ) the projectors P and Q are invariant on E (ued2 ) for each x ∈ X the projections P (x) and Q(x) commute and P (x) + Q(x) = I and P (x)Q(x) = 0 for all x ∈ X (ued3 ) the following inequalities hold for all t ≥ 0, x ∈ X and v ∈ V kΦ(t, x)P (x)vk ≤ N eαt kP (x)vk

(1)

kQ(x)vk ≤ N e−βt kΦ(t, x)Q(x)vk .

(2)

As a natural generalization we can consider the following definition. Definition 2.4. We say that π = (ϕ, Φ) has uniform exponential trichotomy on E with characteristics N and ν1 , ν2 , ν3 , ν4 , where N ≥ 1 and ν1 < ν2 ≤ 0 ≤ ν3 < ν4 , if there exist three projectors P , Q and R defined over E such that the following properties hold (uet1 ) each of the projectors P , Q and R is invariant on E (uet2 ) for each x ∈ X the projections P (x), Q(x) and R(x) commute and one has P (x) + Q(x) + R(x) = I and P (x)Q(x) = P (x)R(x) = Q(x)R(x) = 0 for all x ∈ X (uet3 ) the following four inequalities hold for all t ≥ 0, x ∈ X and v ∈ V kΦ(t, x)P (x)vk ≤ N kP (x)vk eν1 t

(3)

kQ(x)vk ≤ N kΦ(t, x)Q(x)vk e−ν4 t

(4)

kΦ(t, x)R(x)vk ≤ N kR(x)vk eν3 t

(5)

kR(x)vk ≤ N kΦ(t, x)R(x)vk e−ν2 t

(6)

Remark 2.2. For R = 0 we obtain the property of uniform exponential dichotomy.

Example 2.1. Let us consider V = R3 with the norm k(v1 , v2 , v3 )k = |v1 | + |v2 | + |v3 |. We denote C = C(R+ , R+ ) the set of all continuous functions x : R+ → R+ . We consider that C is given with the uniform convergence topology on compact subsets of R+ . C is metrizable with respect to the metric d(x, y) =

∞ X 1 dn (x, y) 2n 1 + dn (x, y) n=1

where dn (x, y) = sup |x(t) − y(t)|. t∈[0,n]

If x ∈ C then for every t ∈ R+ we denote by xt ∈ C the function xt (s) = x(t + s). Let us consider X = {ft , t ∈ R+ }, where f : R+ → R∗+ is a decreasing function with lim f (t) = α > 0. t→∞

Then (X, d) is a metric space and ϕ : R+ × X → X, ϕ(t, x)(s) = x(t + s) is a semiflow on X. Then Φ : R+ × X → B(V ), given by Φ(t, x)(v1 , v2 , v3 ) = (e−2tf (0)+

is a cocycle on X × V . We consider the projections P (x)(v1 , v2 , v3 ) = (v1 , 0, 0), Q(x)(v1 , v2 , v3 ) = (0, v2 , 0), R(x)(v1 , v2 , v3 ) = (0, 0, v3 ). Following relations hold kΦ(t, x)P (x)vk ≤ e−tf (0) kP (x)vk kΦ(t, x)Q(x)vk ≥ eαt kQ(x)vk e−tf (0) kR(x)vk ≤ kΦ(t, x)R(x)vk ≤ etf (0) kR(x)vk which proves that the linear skew-product semiflow π = (ϕ, Φ) is uniformly exponentially trichotomic.

Proposition 2.1. A linear skew-product semiflow π is uniformly exponentially trichotomic if and only if there exist three projectors P1 , P2 and P3 over E with the properties (i) each of the projectors P1 , P2 and P3 is invariant on E (ii) for each x ∈ X the projections P1 (x), P2 (x) and P3 (x) commute and one has P1 (x) + P2 (x) + P3 (x) = I and Pi (x)Pj (x) = 0 for all x ∈ X and all i, j ∈ {1, 2, 3}, i 6= j, two nondecreasing functions f, g : [0, ∞) → [1, ∞) with lim f (t) = lim g(t) = ∞

such that (uet01 ) f (t) kΦ(t, x)P1 (x)vk ≤ kP1 (x)vk (uet02 ) f (t) kP2 (x)vk ≤ kΦ(t, x)P2 (x)vk (uet03 ) kP3 (x)vk ≤ g(t) kΦ(t, x)P3 (x)vk ≤ g 2 (t) kP3 (x)vk for all (t, x) ∈ R+ × X and all v ∈ V. Proof. Necessity. As π is uniformly exponentially trichotomic with characteristics given by Definition 2.4, we can consider function f (t) = N −1 eνt , where ν = min{−ν1 , ν4 } and function g(t) = N eµt , where µ = ν3 − ν2 . Sufficiency. Let us define P = P1 , Q = P2 and R = P3 . To prove the first inequality of (uet3 ) let us denote n = [t] , t ≥ 0. Then there exist s ∈ N and r ∈ [0, s) such that t = ns + r. For all x ∈ X and v ∈ V , we obtain successively kΦ(t, x)P (x)vk = kΦ(ns + r, x)P (x)vk ≤ kΦ(r, ϕ(ns, x))Φ(ns, x)P (x)vk ≤ ≤ (f (r))−1 kΦ(ns, x)P (x)vk ≤ ... ≤ N −1 e−ν1 t kP (x)vk where we have denoted N = f (s)(f (r))−1 > 1, ν1 = ln f (s) > 0. Similarly can be proved the other three inequalities.

Definition 2.5. If the application (t, x) → Φ(t, x)v is continuous for every v ∈ V then π = (ϕ, Φ) is called a strongly continuous linear skew-product semiflow on E. We emphasize some connections between the asymptotic behaviors of a linear skew-product semiflow and the shifted semiflow (see Ref. 5 and 6).

Lemma 2.1. A linear skew-product semiflow π = (ϕ, Φ) has uniform exponential growth if and only if there exists α > 0 such that the shifted linear skew-product semiflow πα = (ϕ, Φα ) is uniformly exponentially stable. Proof. Necessity. If π has uniform exponential growth then there exist M ≥ 1, ν > 0 such that kΦ(t, x)vk ≤ M eν(t−s) kΦ(s, x)vk for all t ≥ s ≥ 0 and x ∈ X, v ∈ V . If we consider α = 2ν > 0 we obtain kΦα (t, x)vk ≤ M e−ν(t−s) kΦα (s, x)vk for all t ≥ s ≥ 0, x ∈ X, v ∈ V and hence πα is uniformly exponentially stable. Sufficiency. If there exists α > 0 such that πα = (ϕ, Φα ) is uniformly exponentially stable then there exist N > 1 and ν > 0 such that kΦ(t, x)vk = eαt kΦα (t, x)vk ≤ N e(α−ν)(t−s) kΦ(s, x)vk for all t ≥ s ≥ 0, x ∈ X and v ∈ V where we have denoted ½ α − ν, if α > ν ω= 1, if α ≤ ν We obtain that π has uniform exponential growth.

Lemma 2.2. A linear skew-product semiflow π = (ϕ, Φ) has uniform exponential decay if and only if there exists α > 0 such that the shifted linear skew-product semiflow π−α = (ϕ, Φ−α ) is uniformly exponentially instable. Proof. The proof is similar with the one of Lemma 2.1.

The next result gives an integral characterization for the property of uniform exponential trichotomy for linear skew-product semiflows. Theorem 2.1. Let π = (ϕ, Φ) be a strongly continuous linear skew-product semiflow on E and let P1 , P2 and P3 be three projectors with the properties (i) each of the projectors P1 , P2 and P3 is invariant on E (ii) for each x ∈ X the projections P1 (x), P2 (x) and P3 (x) commute and one has P1 (x) + P2 (x) + P3 (x) = I and Pi (x)Pj (x) = 0

We also denote by N and ν1 , ν2 , ν3 , ν4 the characteristics of the uniformly exponentially trichotomic linear skew-product semiflow π. In order to prove (uet001 ), it is obvious that the integral inequality hold for M1 = −N ν1−1 . For (uet002 ) we consider M2 = N ν4−1 . It is immediate to prove (uet003 ) and (uet004 ) if we define the constants α = min{2ν3 , −2ν2 } and M = max{N ν3−1 , −N ν2−1 }.

Sufficiency. As in Ref. 3, from the property that there exist t0 > 0 and c ∈ (0, 1) such that relation (7) hold it follows that kΦ(t, x)P1 (x)vk ≤ N1 eν1 kP1 (x)vk for all (t, x, v) ∈ E × V , where ν1 = lnt0c , N1 = M e(ω+ν1 )t0 and constants M and ω are given by statement (c3 ) of Definition 1.2. From the fact that there exist t0 > 0 and c ∈ (0, 1) such that inequality (8) hold it follows that kP2 (x)vk ≤ N2 e−ν4 t kΦ(t, x)P2 (x)vk for all (t, x, v) ∈ E × V , where ν4 = − lnt0c and N2 = M eωt0 . According to Ref. 5, statements (uet003 ) and (uet004 ) are integral characterizations of the properties of uniform exponential stability respectively instability for shifted semiflows through projector P3 , which leads, by means of Lemma 2.1 and Lemma 2.2, to the properties of uniform exponential growth and decay, as following relations show kP3 (x)vk ≤ N e−ν2 t kΦ(t, x)P3 (x)vk kΦ(t, x)P3 (x)vk ≤ N eν3 t kP3 (x)vk for all (t, x, v) ∈ E × V , where ν2 ≤ 0 ≤ ν3 and N > 1. Hence, the uniform exponential trichotomy for π is proved.

¤

In order to characterize the trichotomy by means of two dichotomies, we consider three invariant projectors P , Q and R such that P (x) + Q(x) + R(x) = I, P (x)Q(x) = Q(x)R(x) = P (x)R(x) = 0 and 2

FEEDBACK CONTROL OF CONSTRAINED PARABOLIC SYSTEMS IN UNCERTAINTY CONDITIONS VIA ASYMMETRIC GAMES BORIS S. MORDUKHOVICH∗ Department of Mathematics, Wayne State University Detroit, Michigan 48202, USA; [email protected] THOMAS I. SEIDMAN Department of Mathematics and Statistics, University of Maryland Baltimore County Baltimore, MD 21250, USA; [email protected] This paper concerns control problems for multidimensional linear parabolic equations subject to hard/pointwise constraints on both boundary controls and state dynamic/output functions in the presence of uncertain perturbations within given regions. Such problems are formalized as minimax problems of optimal control, where the control strategy is sought as a feedback law depending on the current state position. Problems of this type are among the most important while the most challenging and difficult in control theory and applications. Based on the Maximum Principle in the theory of parabolic equations and on time convolutions in the theory of Fourier transforms, we reduce the problems under consideration to certain asymmetric games. This allows us to discover significant properties of feasible and optimal feedback controls for constrained parabolic systems. Keywords: Feedback control; Parabolic systems; Minimax synthesis; Pointwise constraints; Convolutions; Asymmetric games.

1. Introduction This paper concerns feedback control design of state-constrained linear parabolic systems functioning under uncertain disturbances/perturbations. The original motivation came from some practical applications to automatic control of the groundwater regime in irrigation networks, where the ∗ Research

of this author was partially supported by the USA National Science Foundation under grants DMS-0304989 and DMS-0603846 and by the Australian Research Council under grant DP-0451168.

main objective was to neutralize the adverse effect of uncertain weather and environmental conditions; see Ref. 1. Problems of this type are formalized as the minimize design of parabolic systems, which unavoidably requires the usage of feedback control inputs acting through boundary conditions; see Refs. 1,2 for the initial descriptions via the one-dimensional heat equation. Among the most important specific features of control systems modeled in Refs. 1,2 in order to meet practical requirements we mention the following: • distributed uncertain perturbations taking values within given closed areas with only the bounds assumed to be known; • pointwise/hard constraints of the magnitude type on control functions acting through the Dirichlet boundary conditions, which offer the least regularity properties for the linear parabolic dynamics; • pointwise state constraints (of the magnitude type) on the observed motions; • infinite horizon of dynamic processes. It has been well recognized that problems of this type are among the most challenging and difficult in control theory being at the same time among the most important for applications. To the best of our knowledge, a variety of approaches and results developed in the theories of differential games, H∞ -control, and Riccati’s feedback synthesis are not applicable to such problems; see, e.g., Refs. 3–6 and also Refs. 2,7,8 with the discussions and references therein. The approach developed in Ref. 2 for the case of one-dimensional heat/diffusion equations and then partly extended in Refs. 7,9,10 to multidimensional settings mainly concerns the system reaction to the extreme perturbations, which are well justified to be the worst in the original environmental situation Refs. 1,2. In this way the structure and parameters of control functions are computed by using the Pontryagin maximum principle (Ref. 11) for ODE approximating systems of optimal control, with the further adjustment to the parabolic dynamics and the exclusion of unstable vibrations. In this paper we suggest another approach to the minimax synthesis of (hard) constrained parabolic systems, which is based on their reduction to asymmetric games by using time convolutions. This approach is based on certain fundamental properties of the linear parabolic dynamics (notably on the Maximum Principle for parabolic equations) and allows us to clarify important characteristics of feasible and optimal feedback controls and

perturbations in the problems under consideration. The rest of the paper is organized as follows. In Section 2 we formulate and discuss the basic minimax problem of feedback control for constrained parabolic systems, with imposing the standing assumptions. Section 3 concerns some new underlying properties of linear parabolic equations with irregular Dirichlet boundary controls and distributed perturbations; these properties are important for understanding the subsequent results while are certainly of a broader independent interest. In Section 4 we describe the convolution approach to the original minimax problem and discuss its possible extensions to a broader class of parabolic control systems. Finally, Section 5 is devoted to the study of the asymmetric game appearing in this approach, which is again of an independent interest while allowing us to clarify some important structural properties of feedback controls and find efficient conditions for controllability and non-controllability in the original problem — the latter means that feasible feedback control regulators may not exist in some situations.

Fix the final time T > 0 and consider the parabolic control system  ∂y   + Ay = w(t) a.e. in Q := [0, T ] × Ω,    ∂t (3) y(0, x) = 0, x ∈ Ω,      y(t, x) = u(t), (t, x) ∈ Σ := [0, T ] × ∂Ω, with controls u(·) acting in the Dirichlet boundary conditions and distributed perturbations w(·) on the right-hand side of the parabolic equation. Define the sets of admissible controls u(·) and admissible perturbations w(·) by, respectively, ¯ © ª Uad := u ∈ L2 (0, T )¯ u(t) ∈ [−α, ¯ α] a.e. t ∈ [0, T ] , (4) ¯ © ª ¯ a.e. t ∈ [0, T ] , Wad := w ∈ L2 (0, T )¯ w(t) ∈ [−β, β]

Note that control where the positive numbers α ¯ , α and β, and perturbation functions look similarly via (4) and (5) — except they are situated in the different parts of the parabolic system (3) — while their roles in the minimax control problem formulated below are completely opposite. To formulate this problem, we first observe that for every (u, w) ∈ L2 (0, T )×L2 (0, T ) the parabolic system (3) admits a unique generalized solution y ∈ L2 (Q); see the next section for more details and representations. Then fix a point x0 ∈ Ω at which we are able to collect information about the system performance, and let η > 0 be an assigned number to bound feasible system motions. The basic minimax feedback control problem (P ) under consideration in this paper is as follows: nZ T ¯ ¯ o ¯u(y(t, x))¯ dt minimize the cost J(u) := max (6) w(·)∈Wad

keep the system motion y(t) = y(t, x0 ) at the assigned point of observation x = x0 ∈ Ω within the prescribed area (8) for any feasible perturbations w ∈ Wad . Furthermore, the optimization in (P ) is understood in the minimax sense: to give the minimum value to the cost functional (6) in the case of the worst perturbations w(·) maximizing the integral functional in (6) subject to all the constraints imposed. Note that the optimal solution of the minimax problem (P ) is naturally to understand as a saddle point (¯ u, w) ¯ ∈ Uad × Wad , e.g., as a couple of the interrelated worst perturbation and optimal control; see Ref. 8. A major complication in the case of problem (P ) under consideration comes from the feedback structure of the control action (7) depending on the current position of the observed dynamics y(t) = y(t, x0 ). To proceed further, we study in the next section certain fundamental properties of the linear parabolic dynamics important in what follows as well as for their own sake. 3. Monotonicity of the Parabolic Dynamics In this section we give an explicit representation of the appropriate solutions (transients) y = y(t, x) of the parabolic system (3) corresponding to (u, w) ∈ L2 (0, T ) × L2 (0, T ) and on this base establish the underlying monotonicity property of transients with respect to both controls and perturbations, which is a crucial manifestation of the parabolic dynamics under the assumptions made. First observe that the input data (u, w) ∈ Uad × Wad are just measurable, i.e., they are irregular to ensure the existence of the classical smooth solutions y to (3). Nevertheless, for all (u, w) ∈ Uad × Wad the parabolic system (3) admits a unique generalized solution y = y(t, x) ∈ L2 (Q); this is proved, e.g., in Ref. 12. Let us establish an efficient representation of such generalized solutions to (3) via the Fourier series, which is important in what follows. Given the operator A in (1), consider the homogeneous boundary value problem ½ −Aϕ + λϕ = 0, (9) ϕ|∂Ω = 0 and recall that the number component λ in the nontrivial pair (λ, ϕ) satisfying (9) is an eigenvalue, while ϕ is the corresponding eigenfunction for the operator A under the Dirichlet boundary condition. According to Ref. 13, Theorems 8.37, 8.38, the assumptions in (2) imposed on the operator A ensure the fulfillment of the following properties:

(a) The eigenvalues λi , i = 1, 2, ..., are real and form a nondecreasing sequence, which accumulates only at ∞; (b) The corresponding orthonormal system {ϕi (x)} ⊂ C ∞ (Ω) of eigenfunctions is complete in L2 (Ω). (c) The first eigenvalue λ1 is simple and has the positive eigenfunction ϕ1 (x). The next representation of transients to system (3) is essentially related to given setting, where both controls u = u(t) and perturbations w = w(t) in (3) are spatially constant, i.e., independent of the space variable. Theorem 3.1. (transient representation for linear parabolic systems with Dirichlet boundary conditions). Let (u, w) ∈ L2 (0, T ) × L2 (0, T ) in (3) under the assumptions (2) on the elliptic operator A, and let (λi , ϕi ) be the corresponding eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of A with the weights Z µi := ϕi (x) dx, i = 1, 2, .... Ω

Then the unique solution y ∈ L2 (Q) to (3) admits the representation y(t, x) =

where the series in (10) strongly converges in the space L2 (Q). Proof. Let D(0, T ) be the space of C ∞ -functions on (0, T ) with compact supports. Since D(0, T ) is dense in L2 (0, T ), we pick sequences {uk } and {wk } from D(0, T ) such that (uk , wk ) → (u, w) strongly in L2 (0, T ) × L2 (0, T ) as k → ∞.

(11)

By Ref. 14, system (2.2) has a unique classical solution yk for each (uk , wk ) ∈ D(0, T ) × D(0, T ). As mentioned, for each (u, w) ∈ L2 (0, T ) × L2 (0, T ) there is a unique generalized solution y ∈ L2 (Q). Moreover, the linear operator (u, w) → y from L2 (0, T ) × L2 (0, T ) into L2 (Q) is continuous by Ref. 12. Combining this with the strong convergence in (11), we get yk → y strongly in L2 (Q) as k → ∞.

(12)

Consider now the sequence {(uk , wk )} from (11) and denote hk :=yk −uk for each k = 1, 2, .... We can easily conclude that hk is the unique classical

It is well known (see, e.g., Ref. 14) that hk admits the representation Z t ∞ ³Z t ´ X λi θ hk (t, x)= µi wk (θ)e dθ+(c+λi ) uk (θ)eλi θ dθ e−λi t ϕi (x) i=1

with the strong convergence in L2 (Ω) (by the orthonormality property of {ϕi (x)} in L2 (Ω) and the construction of µi in the theorem), we conclude that the triple (uk , wk , yk ) satisfies (10) for all k = 1, 2, .... Passing there to the limit as k → ∞ with taking (11) and (12) into account, we arrive at the limiting representation (10) for the reference triple (u, w, y) ∈ L2 (0, T ) × L2 (0, T ) × L2 (Q) and thus conclude the proof of the theorem. ¤ It is well known (see, e.g., Ref. 14) that classical solutions to the parabolic system (3) satisfy the Maximum Principle, which is a fundamental result of the parabolic dynamics. Based on this result and on a certain smooth approximation technique, we establish next the principal monotonicity property of generalized solutions (in the sense above) to (3) with respect to both controls and perturbations (u, w) ∈ L2 (0, T ) × L2 (0, T ). Theorem 3.2. (monotonicity property of transients). Let y1 and y2 be the generalized solutions to the parabolic system (3) corresponding to the pairs (u1 , w1 ) ∈ L2 (0, T ) × L2 (0, T ) and (u2 , w2 ) ∈ L2 (0, T ) × L2 (0, T ), respectively. If u1 (t) ≥ u2 (t) and w1 (t) ≥ w2 (t) a.e. in (0, T ), then we have y1 (t, x) ≥ y2 (t, x) a.e. in Q.

(14)

Proof. Given the triples (u1 , w1 , y1 ) and (u2 , w2 , y2 ) in the theorem, denote u(t) := u1 (t) − u2 (t), w(t) := w1 (t) − w2 (t), y(t, x) := y1 (t, x) − y2 (t, x).

By linearity of (3), y ∈ L2 (Q) is the generalized solution to (3) corresponding to the nonnegative L2 -inputs u(t) ≥ 0 and w(t) ≥ 0 for a.e. t ∈ [0, T ].

(15)

Furthermore, the triple (u, w, y) satisfies the Fourier representation (10) by Theorem 3.1. To justify (14), we need to show that y(t, x) ≥ 0 for a.e. t ∈ [0, T ]. We are going to do it by using the Maximum Principle for classical solutions to parabolic equations and the following smooth approximation procedure. Let ρ(r) be a C ∞ -function on IR having the properties: (a)

ρ(r) = 0

if |r| ≥ 1,

ρ(r) ≥ 0 Z ρ(r)dr = 1.

Furthermore, vε (t) ≥ 0 for all t ∈ [0, T ] whenever v(t) ≥ 0 for a.e. t ∈ [0, T ]. Consider the initial-boundary value problem  ∂y     ∂t + Ay = wε (t) in Q, (18) y(0, x) = 0, x ∈ Ω,     y(t, x) = u (t), (t, x) ∈ Σ, ε

where uε and wε are the smooth approximations built by (16) upon the given functions u(t) and w(t), respectively, satisfying (15). As mentioned, relationships (15) and (16) imply that uε (t) ≥ 0 and wε (t) ≥ 0 for a.e. t ∈ [0, T ] and all ε > 0, and that the corresponding ¡ ¢problem (18) admits the unique classical solution yε ∈ C 1,2 [0, T ] × cl Ω generated by the

smooth input (uε , wε ). Applying now the Maximum Principle for parabolic equations (see, e.g., Ref. 14, Theorem 2.1), we get yε (t, x) ≥ 0 for all (t, x) ∈ cl Q.

(19)

By passing to the limit in the solution representation (10) of Theorem 3.1 and taking into account the uniqueness of L2 (Q)-solutions to the parabolic system (3), we conclude that the strong convergence of (uε , wε ) → (u, w) is L2 (0, T ) implies the strong convergence of yε → y in L2 (Q) as ε ↓ 0. Thus the convergence property from (17) applied to (uε , wε ) and the classical result of real analysis yield the pointwise convergence yε (t, x) → y(t, x) a.e. in Q as ε ↓ 0 along a subsequence of {ε}. Combining the latter with (19) and with the corresponding result from Ref. 8, Lemma 4.2, we conclude that y(t, x) ≥ 0 for a.e. (t, x) ∈ Q, which ends the proof of the theorem.

4. Convolution Approach In this section we describe a new approach to the formulation and study of the minimax feedback control problem (P ) defined in Section 2. This approach (see also the next section) is based on reducing (P ) to an asymetric game via time convolutions well developed and largely applied, e.g., in the theory of Fourier transforms. We refer the reader to Ref. 15 for a variety of results on convolutions and their applications. Recall that the time convolution of two real-valued functions v1 (t) and v2 (t) is defined by the following integral over the corresponding domain Z (v1 ∗ v2 )(t) := v1 (s)v2 (t − s) ds. We start our consideration with the one-dimensional heat equation in (3) written as  ∂y ∂2y   − a 2 = w(t) for x ∈ (−1, 1), a.e. t ∈ [0, T ],   ∂t ∂x (20) y(0, x) = 0, −1 < x < 1,     y(t, −1) = y(t, 1) = u(t) a.e. t ∈ [0, T ]. Here the perturbation w = w(t) is spatially constant and is subject to the assumed bounds |w(t)| ≤ β a.e. t ∈ [0, T ],

while the control u = u(t) is subject to the imposed pointwise constraints |u(t)| ≤ α a.e. t ∈ [0, T ]

(22)

with some given positive constants α and β. Both control and perturbations (u, w) are supposed to be (Lebesgue) measurable on [0, T ], i.e., they belong to the admissible regions Uad in (4) and to Wad in (5), respectively, where the symmetricity is assumed for simplicity. For definiteness, choose the middle point x0 of the domain Ω = (−1, 1) as the point of observation ξ(t) := y(t, 0), where we collect information about the system performance. By the system linearity, we can represent the (generalized) solution y ∈ L2 (Q), with Q = [0, T ]×(−1, 1), to (20) generated by (u, w) ∈ Uad ×Wad as y = B1 w + B2 u, where B1 w is the solution to (20) with homogeneous boundary conditions (i.e., with u ≡ 0), and where B2 u is the solution to (20) as a homogeneous equation (i.e., with w ≡ 0); cf. representation (10) in Theorem 3.1. Setting further Z t W (t) := w(τ ) dτ, 0

observe that the the spatially constant function W satisfies the original system (20) except the boundary conditions, and thus B1 w = W − B2 W. On the other hand, if z is the solution to the homogeneous system ¯ ¯ ∂z ∂2z ¯ ¯ − a 2 = 0, z¯ = 1, z¯ = 0, ∂t ∂x x=±1 t=0 then B2 u is the time convolution of u(·) with the time derivative zt (·, ·). Letting now ψ(·) := zt (·, 0), we get [B2 u](t, 0) = [ψ ∗ u](t), and so our observation ξ has the following convolution representation in terms of u and w: ϕ ∗ w + ψ ∗ u with ϕ := 1 − ψ.

(23)

Note that ϕ and ψ in (23) have their supports in IR+ — actually in [0, T ], since we are restricting attention to the given time interval [0, T ]. Applying the Maximum Principle for the heat equation as in the proof of Theorem 3.2, we conclude that both ϕ and ψ in (23) are positive on (0, T ]. Finally, we observe that we could have fixed α = 1 in (22) and β = 1

in (21) without any loss of generality if we were to have correspondingly rescaled ϕ and ψ. Thus α = β = 1 in what follows. The crucial requirement (8) on the system performance is now written as |ξ(t)| ≤ η on [0, T ] for any w as in (21).

(24)

The primary goal of feasible feedback controls ¡ ¢ u = u(ξ) with u(t) = u ξ(t) , 0 ≤ t ≤ T,

(25)

such that u(t) satisfies (22), is to keep the motion ξ in (23) under observation within the constraint region (24) for any feasible perturbation w(t). The optimization problem over all the feasible feedback controls and feasible perturbations consists of minimizing the maximum functional J given by nZ T ¡ ¢ o J(u) := max |u ξ(t) | dt , (26) w

0

where the maximum in (26) is taken with respect to feasible perturbations w = w(·), while feasible controls u = u(ξ) are formed by a feedback law, i.e., in closed loop u = u(ξ) in (25) Our phrasing is significant: there is no suggestion that w is already known on [0, T ], so u(·) cannot be prescribed in open loop as u = u(t), but must be constructed progressively as the observation history provides more information. Thus such a construction must be a map C : ξ 7→ u subject to (22), (24), and the causality condition that £ ¤ £ ¤ ξ1 (·)=ξ2 (·) on [0, t] =⇒ C(ξ1 ) (t)= C(ξ2 ) (t) for each t ∈ [0, T ]. (27) The cost functional appearing in (26) is then really J = J(C) to be minimized over feedback laws C satisfying relationships (22), (24), and (27) with ξ(t) and u(t) given in (23) and (25), respectively. Of course, a preliminary requirement to this optimization problem is imposing conditions on the initial data α, β, η, and T ensuring the nonemptiness of the admissible set of feedback laws written as © ª © ª C ad := C satisfying (22), (24), (27) 6= ∅. (28) It is easy to observe that the device above readily applies to the case of multidimensional linear parabolic systems (3) considered in Sections 2 and 3. In this case, we fix some point x0 ∈ Ω from the open bounded domain Ω ⊂ IRn and evaluate the system performance at ξ(t) = y(t, x0 ) as in Section 2 representing it further in the convolution form (23). This device leads us to the following result summarizing the above derivations and discussions.

Theorem 4.1. (minimax feedback control problem via convolutions). The minimax feedback control problem (P ) formulated in Section 2 is equivalent to minimizing the cost functional of the maximum type J = J(C) in (26) over feedback laws C : ξ 7→ u subject to (22), (24), and (27), where the observation ξ is given by (23) via the time convolutions involving positive functions ϕ and ψ. Furthermore, the above convolution approach can be extended to a more general control problem (Pe) for multidimensional parabolic systems formulated as follows. Given an open bounded domain Ω ⊂ IRn with the sufficiently smooth boundary ∂Ω, consider the linear parabolic system  on QT := (0, T ] × Ω,  yt − ∆ · A∆y = w(t)ω ¯ ¯ (29) ¯  y ¯¯ = u(t)e ω, y¯ ≡ 0 on Ω, ∂Ω

subject to appropriate regularity requirements on the entries of the positive definite n × n matrix A = A(x), where ω and ω e are given positive functions on Ω and ∂Ω, respectively. Let Γ be an arbitrary linear functional on states y = y(t, ·) specified before as ® Γ, y = y(t, x0 ), t ∈ [0, T ], with some x0 ∈ Ω. In the general case, define the system observation ξ by ® ξ(t) := Γ, y(t, ·) on [0, T ].

The generalized feedback control problem (Pe) is that of minimizing the functional J =©J(C) in (26) over feedback laws C : ξ 7→ u belonging to the admissible set C}ad from (12) with observation ξ given by the convolutions in (15). Again we note that the constants α and β in (22) and (21) can be fixed as α = β = 1 without loss of generality by absorbing this in the specification of ϕ and ψ in the convolution representation (15) of the observation ξ from (14) satisfying the requirements in (24) and (27). 5. Asymmetric Games In this section we formulate and study a certain asymmetric game, which incorporates the most essential features of both minimax control problems (P ) and (Pe) and allows us to establish important properties of feasible and optimal feedback controls and worst perturbations via the corresponding game strategies. Given two positive functions ψ, ϕ ∈ L1 (IR+ ), a number η > 0, and a time bound T > 0, formulate the asymmetric game (G) as follows: A fox and a hound are considered as moving points f (·) and h(·) in IR given by the convolutions f = ϕ ∗ w and h = ψ ∗ u in IR,

i.e., controlled by providing measurable inputs u and w, respectively, subject to the pointwise constraints |u(t)| ≤ 1 and |w(t)| ≤ 1 for a.e. t ≥ 0.

(33)

The fox wins if she can ever escape, i.e., can get f (t) farther than η from h(t) at some time t < T for any hound’s feasible strategy u from (33). Conversely, the hound wins if he can track successfully, i.e., can keep h(t) no farther than η from f (t) during the entire interval [0, T ] for any fox’s feasible strategy w from (33). There are no ties in the game. As the information structure for this game, we are to assume that the hound knows (and remembers) his own input u and the resulting motion h and observes (and remembers) the relative position ξ(t) = f (t) − h(t). We may attribute to the fox perfect information about both inputs, perhaps even knowing the hound’s strategy for causally determining his input u in response to each ξ(·).

Note that in view of (33), the parameters α and β in the constraints of (22) and (21) appear in the present formulation as Z T Z T 1 1 α = kψkL := ψ(t) dt and β = kϕkL := ϕ(t) dt (34) 0

for the positive functions ψ and ϕ from (32); so β is the effective range (in time T ) of the fox and, correspondingly, α is the effective range of the hound. We are primarily concerned with the hound’s tracking strategy. The first question is whether the hound does have a winning strategy; and if so, the next question — corresponding to the minimax problems (P ) and (Pe) from Section 4 — would be selecting among winning strategies to minimize the cost max-functional J in (26); we call such hound’s strategy an absolutely winning one. From the control formulation/interpretation of (G) in terms of convolutions, it is clear that at any time τ the future evolutions of f and h in (32) include some history dependence. Thus it would seem desirable for the hound to know also at least the past history of the fox’s input w — which has not been provided directly — for better predictions of the fox’s future motion in constructing u(τ ). The next theorem justifies such a well-posedness of the game (and of the minimax control problems) under consideration. Theorem 5.1. (well-posedness of the game). Let ψ, ϕ ∈ L1 [0, T ] be given functions with ϕ 6≡ 0. Then the histories of u(·) and of ξ := ϕ ∗ w − ψ ∗ u on [0, τ ]

(35)

uniquely determine the restriction of w to [0, τ ]. Proof. Take ψ, ϕ to vanish outside [0, T ] (since anything else is irrelevant), and take uτ , wτ as the restrictions of u, w extended to vanish outside [0, τ ] (since anything else is irrelevant at time τ ). Then ξτ (·) defined by ξτ := ϕ ∗ wτ − ψ ∗ uτ coincides with ξ defined by (35) on [0, τ ]. Employing the Fourier transforms (Ref. 15) (denoted by fb as usual) of the functions under consideration, the convolutions become simply products. Thus, rearranging slightly, we have ϕ bτ w bτ = ψbτ u bτ + ξbτ .

(36)

Note that ψ, uτ , and ξτ are known at time τ (by prescription, memory, and observation), and so the product ϕ bτ w bτ is known by (36). Since ψ (restricted to [0, T ]) and wτ are bounded with compact support, each of

the factors ϕ bτ and w bτ is entire analytic by the Paley-Wiener Theorem; see, e.g., Ref. 15, Chapter 7. Thus w bτ is uniquely determined, and so is wτ by inverting the Fourier transform, which completes the proof of the theorem. ¤ Remark 5.1. (infinite horizon). If game (G) is considered with infinite horizon (i.e., with T = ∞), then Theorem 5.1 still holds true. Indeed, in this case we take some T0 > τ , and the same arguments apply. Thus, despite the nominal asymmetry of the specified information structure, we can assume that at each τ the hound has perfect causal information: both the input functions u and w on [0, τ ] as well as knowing ψ and ϕ. Note in this connection that we are here assuming exact observation and computation ignoring, e.g., the question of continuity of the map uτ , ξτ 7→ wτ whose existence has been assured by Theorem 5.1. Next we consider the question of whether game (G) would be a win for the fox or for the hound — obviously depending on ψ, ϕ and T, η. It is convenient for this to define Ψ := ψ ∗ 1 and Φ := ϕ ∗ 1, i.e., to let Z t Z t Ψ(t) := ψ(s) ds and Φ(t) := ϕ(s) ds. (37) 0

In accordance with the monotonicity property of the parabolic dynamics as in Theorem 3.2 and in Section 4, we always suppose that the input functions ψ and ϕ are positive, which implies by (37) that the integral images Ψ and Φ are increasing — to α and β, respectively. The next statement indicates two cases when an absolutely winning strategy for the hound and a winning strategy for the fox in game (G) can be found directly. Note that we can see this easily in the abstract game framework, while in fact it is essentially based on the fundamental monotonicity of transients with respect to both controls and perturbations (eventually on the parabolic Maximum Principle) in the original context of parabolic dynamics developed in Section 3. Note also that, due the symmetricity of game (G) and the original control problem (P ), assertion (ii) of the next proposition admits the symmetric extreme version w ≡ −1 corresponding to the other bound of the fox’s constraints in (33). Proposition 5.1. (winning strategies). Consider game (G) under the assumptions made. The following assertions hold: (i) Let Φ(t) ≤ η on [0, T ]. Then standing still u ≡ 0 is an absolutely winning strategy for the hound.

(ii) Suppose that Φ(t) > Ψ(t) + η for some t ∈ (0, T )

(38)

(this is certainly the case if β > α + η in (34) before rescaling). Then taking the extreme action w ≡ 1 is a winning strategy for the fox. Proof. To justify (i), observe that the condition (0 ≤)Φ(t) ≤ η on [0, T ] ensures the fulfillment of the state constraint |ξ(t)| = |f (t) − h(t)| = |f (t)| ≤ η on [0, T ] for any fox’s strategy w from (33) by putting u ≡ 0 into the motion equation (35). It is obvious at the same time that the hound’s strategy u ≡ 0 minimizes the cost functional J in (26), i.e., it is an absolutely winning one. To prove (ii), observe from (35) and the positivity of ψ and ϕ that the bigger fox’s action w is, the bigger hounds’s input u should be applied to keep the game motion ξ in (35) within the prescribed area |ξ(t)| ≤ η for all t ∈ [0, T ].

(39)

It is easy to conclude from (35) that the fox’s extreme strategy w ≡ 1 under condition (38) does not allow the hound to keep ξ within (39) whatever his strategy u constrained by (33) applies. This means that the fox wins. ¤ The above analysis seems to be inadequate to treat game (G) when assumption (38) is violated. To see this, we introduce a notion of agility for the motion characteristics as meaning that a change in the input would more rapidly maneuver (by convolution) the resulting motion. Leaving this notion a bit vague, it is natural to say, e.g., that ϕ(t) e = 2ϕ(2t) would be more agile than ϕ, with the same norm. We are now concerned with the effect of having the fox more agile than the hound. Example 5.1. (agility). Let η = 1, T = 2, and ( ( 3 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, 2 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2, ϕ(t) = ψ(t) = 0 else. 0 else; Then we compute the integrals ( 3t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, Φ(t) = 3 for t ≥ 1;

( Ψ(t) =

2t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2, 4 for t ≥ 2.

With η = 1 this gives Φ(t) < Ψ(t) + η except for equality at t = 1: the scenario of (38) cannot happen — and even continuing indefinitely with

u ≡ 1 (while the fox also continues her extreme strategy w ≡ 1) would not put the hound too far from the fox. On the other hand, suppose the fox were to use the input function ( ( 1 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, 3t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. w(t) = so f (t) = −1 for t ≥ 1; 6 − 3t for t ≥ 1. Even knowing this in advance, what could the hound do? Unless u ≡ 1 on [0, 1], one would have h(1) < Ψ(1) = 1, and thus f (1) = Φ(1) = 3 would give |ξ(t)| > η = 1, i.e., a win for the fox. The choice ( ( 1 for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, 2t for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, e u e(t) = gives h(t) = −1 for 1 ≤ t ≤ 2 2 for 1 ≤ t ≤ 2. e Thus, as f (2) = 0, we would have |ξ(2)| = 2 > η, and a win for the fox. Any other input choice u(·) avoiding the fox’s win at t = 1 would necessarily give u ≥ u e; so h ≥ e h, and again a win for the fox before t = 2 = T .

IMPLICIT PARALLEL SOLVERS IN COMPUTATIONAL ELECTROCARDIOLOGY MARILENA MUNTEANU∗ and LUCA FRANCO PAVARINO Department of Mathematics, Universit` a di Milano, Via Saldini 50, 20133 Milano, Italy E-mail: [email protected], [email protected]; www.mat.unimi.it This paper presents a parallel solver for the Monodomain and Bidomain systems modeling the bioelectrical activity of cardiac tissue in three dimensions. These systems consists of nonlinear parabolic reaction-diffusion equations coupled with a stiff system of several ordinary differential equations, known as Luo-Rudy I model. Instead of the more common explicit or semi-implicit time discretizations, we consider here the fully implicit Backward Euler and linearly implicit Rosenbrock methods, that allow a time step-size selection without stability constraints. Trilinear finite elements are employed in the space discretization. The nonlinear systems originated at each time step of Backward Euler are solved by a Newton-Krylov method, where the outer iteration of an inexact Newton method solves the linear systems of the Jacobian update with a Krylov method such as GMRES with a block Jacobi preconditioner. The same linear solver is applied to the linear systems of the Rosenbrock method. Parallel numerical results on a Linux Cluster show that the proposed parallel solver is scalable for the Monodomain system, with both linear and nonlinear iteration counts bounded from above by a constant independent of the number of processors. This does not hold for the Bidomain system, since the linear iteration counts increase with the number of processors.

reaction-diffusion equations describing the macroscopic evolution of the electrical potentials in the cardiac tissue, coupled with a stiff system of ordinary differential equations, known as the Luo-Rudy I (LR1) model, see Ref. 1, describing the microscopic ionic currents through the cellular membrane. The numerical resolution of these reaction-diffusion models is computationally intensive, because of the interaction of the different scales in space and time, the nonlinearities involved and the very severe ill-conditioning of the discrete systems arising at each time step. The treatment of the nonlinearities of these models is a challenging issue occurring in the discretization process. Most numerical studies employ explicit or semi-implicit time discretizations where the nonlinear reaction term is treated explicitly and the diffusion term implicitly, see e.g. Refs. 2 and 3. Often splitting schemes are also employed in order to decouple the ODE system from the nonlinear parabolic system, see e.g. Ref. 4. Instead, we consider here the fully implicit Backward Euler and linearly implicit Rosenbrock methods, see Lang and Verwer5 , that take into account the complete nonlinearities of the model and allow a time step-size selection without stability constraints. The nonlinear systems originated at each time step of Backward Euler are solved by a Newton-Krylov method, with an inexact Newton outer iteration and a Krylov space inner iteration for the Jacobian update, such as GMRES with a block Jacobi preconditioner. The same linear solver is applied to the linear systems of the Rosenbrock method. Our three dimensional parallel codes have evolved from the parallel solver presented in Colli Franzone and Pavarino4 which takes into account the orthotropic anisotropy of the cardiac tissue. A previous implicit parallel solver for the Bidomain system has been studied by Murillo and Cai6 for two dimensional domains and for the simplified FitzHugh-Nagumo membrane model. We present the results of several parallel simulations on a Linux Cluster that show that the proposed parallel solver is scalable for the Monodomain system, with both linear and nonlinear iteration counts bounded from above by a constant independent of the number of processors. This does not hold for the Bidomain system, since the linear iteration counts increase with the number of processors, indicating that the simple one-level block Jacobi preconditioner must be replaced with a more powerful multilevel preconditioner.

The last equation of (1) is a system of ordinary equations describing the ionic currents through the cellular membrane. We consider here the LuoRudy I (LR1) membrane model that uses 6 gating variables and 1 ionic concentration, w = (w1 , ..., w7 ); see Ref. 1 for details.

The convergence and order conditions of Rosenbrock-type methods ∂u applied to differential-algebraic systems of the form B(u) = f (u) with ∂t nonsingular matrix B have been studied by Lubich and Roche15 . For nonlinear parabolic problems, Lang and Verwer5 proposed a 3-stage, thirdorder, A-stable method called Ros3P. In order to avoid matrix-vector operations we use the transformed form of a Rosenbrock scheme (cf.

4. Parallel Implementation and Numerical Results Our Fortran code is based on the Portable Extensible Toolkit for Scientific computing (PETSc)16 library available as an open source software from Argone National Laboratory. All tests were performed on the Linux cluster Ulisse at the University of Milan (http://cluster.mat.unimi.it/) that has 92 processors Xeon. We refer to Colli Franzone and Pavarino4 for the parameters calibration of the Monodomain and Bidomain models. We report both scalability results for a few time steps and simulations of complete cardiac cycle. 4.1. Scalability We perform 10 times steps with constant stepsize dt = 0.05 msec. The linear systems are solved (in parallel) by GMRES method with Block-Jacobi preconditioning. We denote by it. the number of linear iteration at time t=0.5 msec, av.it. the average number of linear iteration over the first 10 time-steps, nit. the number of nonlinear iteration at time t=0.5 msec and av.nit. the average number of nonlinear iteration over the 10 time-steps. In Tables 1–4, we report these quantities for a test of scaled speedup up to 64 processors, where the mesh sizes and processor counts are increased proportionally so that the local mesh size per processor remains constant. Both Backward Euler and Rosenbrock methods are scalable for the MonodomainLR1 model, since both linear and nonlinear iterations remain constant, while they are not scalable for the Bidomain-LR1 model since the linear iterations increase with the number of processors (even if the nonlinear iterations remain constant). 4.2. Complete cardiac cycle We performed simulations on a three-dimensional domain representing a slab of cardiac tissue of size 0.5 × 0.5 × 0.05 cm3 discretized with a mesh 50 × 50 × 5. The linear systems are solved (in parallel) by GMRES method with Block-Jacobi preconditioning. In Tables 5 and 6, we report the time spent computing the Jacobian matrix (TimeComputJac), the time for the solution of the nonlinear system (TimeSNES) and the total CPU time (Time), for both the MonodomainLR1 and Bidomain-LR1 models, both the Backward Euler and Ros3P parallel solvers and both fixed and adaptive time step strategies (see Ref. 17). The timings clearly show that the Jacobian assembling takes up only a small percentage of the total CPU time. Therefore future effort to improve

FAN’S INEQUALITY IN THE CONTEXT OF MP -CONVEXITY∗ (a) CONSTANTIN

ROVENT ¸A

Department of Mathematics, University of Craiova, Craiova 200585, Romania (a) E-mail: [email protected] (b) E-mail: [email protected] Several analogies of Fan’s inequality are proved in the context of Mp -convexity. As a consequence, a Nash equilibrium theorem is obtained. Keywords: Mp -convexity; Min-max inequality; Nash equilibrium.

1. Introduction In what follows we are interested in a class of functions having a nice behavior under the action of means. The weighted Mp -mean is defined for pairs of positive numbers x, y by the formula  ((1 − λ)xp + λy p )1/p , if p ∈ R\{0}    x1−λ y λ , if p = 0 Mp (x, y, 1 − λ, λ) =  min{x, y}, if p = −∞   max{x, y}, if p = ∞, where λ ∈ [0, 1]. If p is an odd number, we can extend Mp to pairs of real numbers. Let E be a linear topological space and assume that C is a nonempty compact and convex subset of E. Definition 1.1. We say that a function f : C −→ R is Mp -concave if f ((1 − λ)x + λy) ≥ Mp (f (x), f (y), 1 − λ, λ) for all x, y ∈ C and λ ∈ (0, 1). ∗ Supported

Thus the M1 -concave functions are the usual concave functions, while the M∞ -concave functions, are precisely the quasi-concave functions. A celebrated result due to Ky Fan asserts that any function f :C×C→R+ which is quasi-concave in the first variable and lower semicontinuous in the second variable verifies the inequality min sup f (x, y) ≤ sup f (z, z). y∈C x∈C

(1)

z∈C

The aim of this paper is to prove a complementary result, precisely: Theorem 1.1. Suppose that f : C × C → R+ is a function which is Mp concave and lower-semicontinuous in each variable. Then min sup Mpp (f (x, y), f (y, x), 1 − λ, λ) ≤ sup f p (z, z), y∈C x∈C

z∈C

for all λ ∈ (0, 1) and p ∈ R. Our technics yields also the following fact: Theorem 1.2. Let C be a nonempty compact and convex subset of E, and let f : C × C → R+ be a function which is Mp -concave in the first variable and lower-semicontinuous in the second variable. Then min max Mpp (f (y, y), f (x, x), 1 − λ, λ) ≤ sup f p (z, z) y∈C x∈C

z∈C

for all λ ∈ (0, 1) and p ∈ R. For p an odd number f is allowed to take negative values. 2. Proof of the Main Result We actually prove a much more general result: Theorem 2.1. Assume f : C × C → R+ is a function which is Mp concave and lower-semicontinuous in each variable and let g : C → C be a continuous onto function. Then min sup Mpp (f (x, y), f (y, x), 1−λ, λ)≤ sup Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1−λ, λ), y∈C x∈C

z∈C

for all λ ∈ (0, 1) and p ∈ R. Theorem 3.1 represents the particular case where g is the identity of C. The proof of Theorem 2.1 is based on the KKM-Theorem, whose statement is recalled here for the convenience of the reader:

Fan’s Inequality in the Context of MP -Convexity

269

Theorem 2.2. (Knaster-Kuratowski-Mazurkievicz). Suppose that for every point x in a nonempty set X ⊂ E there is an associated closed subset M (x) ⊂ X such that [ conv F ⊂ M (x) x∈F

holds for all finite subsets F ⊂ X. Then for any finite subset F ⊂ X we have \ M (x) 6= ∅. x∈F

Hence if some subset M (z) is compact, we have \ M (x) 6= ∅. x∈X

Theorem 2.2 is one of the many results known to be equivalent to Brouwer’s fixed point theorem. See Ref. 1. Proof of Theorem 2.1. We attach to g : C → C and λ ∈ [0, 1] the family of sets M (g(x))x∈C , where M (g(x)) consists of all y ∈ C such that Mpp (f (x, y), f (y, x), 1 − λ, λ) ≤ sup Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1 − λ, λ). z∈C

We will show that this family satisfies the hypothesis of the KKMTheorem. In fact, g(x) ∈ M (g(x)) for every x ∈ C and [ conv F ⊂ M (g(x)) x∈F

for every finite subset F ⊂ C. For example, if F consists of two elements g(x1 ) and g(x2 ), we have to show that u = (1 − α)g(x1 ) + αg(x2 ) ∈ M (g(x1 )) ∪ M (g(x2 ))

(2)

for every α ∈ (0, 1). Our argument is by reductio ad absurdum. If (2) fails, then for some α ∈ (0, 1) we have Mpp (f (x1 , u), f (u, x1 ), 1−λ, λ)> sup Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1−λ, λ), (3) z∈C

and Mpp (f (x2 , u), f (u, x2 ), 1−λ, λ)> sup Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1−λ, λ). (4) z∈C

The Intermediate Value Theorem yields a β ∈ [0, 1] such that xβ = βx1 + (1 − β)x2 ∈ C verifies g(xβ ) = u = (1 − α)g(x1 ) + αg(x2 ).

Since f is Mp -concave in each variable it follows that Mpp (f (xβ , g(xβ )), f (g(xβ ), xβ ), 1 − λ, λ) = (1 − λ)f p ((1 − β)x1 + βx2 , u) + λf p (u, (1 − β)x1 + βx2 ) is not less than (1 − λ)((1 − β)f p (x1 , u) + βf p (x2 , u)) +λ((1 − β)f p (u, x1 ) + βf p (u, x2 )) = (1 − β)((1 − λ)f p (x1 , u) + λf p (u, x1 )) +β((1 − λ)f p (x2 , u) + λf p (u, x2 )) = (1 − β)Mpp (f (x1 , u), f (u, x1 ), 1 − λ, λ) +βMpp (f (x2 , u), f (u, x2 ), 1 − λ, λ) > (1 − β) sup Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1 − λ, λ) z∈C

+β sup Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1 − λ, λ) z∈C

= sup Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1 − λ, λ), z∈C

a contradiction. Thus (2) follows. By the KKM-Theorem we infer that \

M (g(x)) 6= ∅,

x∈C

which means the existence of y ∈ C such that Mpp (f (x, y), f (y, x), 1 − λ, λ) ≤ sup Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1 − λ, λ), z∈C

for every x ∈ C, equivalently, sup Mpp (f (x, y), f (y, x), 1 − λ, λ)

x∈C

≤ sup Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1 − λ, λ). z∈C

In conclusion, min sup Mpp (f (x, y), f (y, x), 1 − λ, λ) y∈C x∈C

≤ sup Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1 − λ, λ). z∈C

3. A Nonsymmetric Extension of Fan’s Theorem The aim of this section is to prove the following result: Theorem 3.1. Let D and F be two two nonempty, compact and convex subsets of E and let g be a continuous onto function g : D → F . Then for every function f : D × F → R+ which is quasi-concave in the first variable and lower-semicontinuous in the second variable the following inequality holds: min sup f (x, y) ≤ sup f (z, g(z)). y∈F x∈D

z∈D

This result extends Fan’s Theorem (which corresponds to the case where D = F and g(z) = z for all z ∈ D). Proof. Consider the family of sets ½ ¾ M (g(x)) = y ∈ F : f (x, y) ≤ sup f (z, g(z)) ,

for x ∈ D.

z∈D

We will show that this family verifies the assumptions of the KKMTheorem. In fact, it is easy to see that g(x) ∈ M (g(x)), for x ∈ D. Let A be a nonempty finite subset of F, say A = {g(x1 ), g(x2 )} for simplicity. We have to prove that [ conv A ⊂ M (g(x)), (5) g(x)∈A

that is, (1 − λ)g(x1 ) + λg(x2 ) ∈ M (g(x1 )) ∪ M (g(x2 )), for all λ ∈ (0, 1). Indeed, if the contrary is true, then for a suitable λ ∈ (0, 1) we have f (x1 , (1 − λ)g(x1 ) + λg(x2 )) > sup f (z, g(z)) z∈D

and f (x2 , (1 − λ)g(x1 ) + λg(x2 )) > sup f (z, g(z)). z∈D

The intermediate Value Theorem yields an α ∈ [0, 1] such that xλ = αx1 + (1 − α)x2 ∈ D verifies (1 − λ)g(x1 ) + λg(x2 ) = g(xλ ).

Then f (xλ , g(xλ )) = f (αx1 + (1 − α)x2 , (1 − λ)g(x1 ) + λg(x2 )) ≥ min {f (x1 , (1 − λ)g(x1 ) + λg(x2 )), f (x2 , (1 − λ)g(x1 ) + λg(x2 ))} > sup f (z, g(z)), z∈D

a\contradiction that shows that (5) works. By the KKM-Theorem, M (g(x)) 6= ∅, and this fact assures the existence of a y0 ∈ F such x∈D

that f (x, y0 ) ≤ sup f (z, g(z))

for every x ∈ D.

z∈D

Consequently, sup f (x, y0 ) ≤ sup f (z, g(z)), which yields x∈D

z∈D

min sup f (x, y0 ) ≤ sup f (z, g(z)). y∈F x∈D

z∈D

A similar argument yields the following theorem in the case of Mp convex functions: Theorem 3.2. Let C be a nonempty, compact and convex subset of E and let g be a continuous onto function g : C → C. Then for every Mp -convex function f : C × C → R+ which is upper-semicontinuous with respect to each variable we have max inf Mpp (f (x, y), f (y, x), 1−λ, λ)≥ inf Mpp (f (z, g(z)), f (g(z), z), 1−λ, λ), x∈C y∈C

z∈C

for all λ ∈ (0, 1). In the same manner we can prove the following result for the quasiconvex functions: Theorem 3.3. Let D and F be two nonempty, compact and convex subsets and let g be a continuous onto function g : D → F . Let f : D × F → R+ be a quasi-convex function in the second variable and upper-semicontinuous in the first variable. Then we have max inf f (x, y) ≥ inf f (z, g(z)). x∈D y∈F

z∈D

Remark 3.1. We impose the condition that g is an onto function in order to assure the applicability of KKM Theorem.

4. Further Results An important application of Theorem 3.1 is the existence of a g-equilibrium, a fact that generalizes the existence of a Nash equilibrium. Theorem 4.1. Let C = C1 × C2 × ... × Cn , where Ci , i = 1, ..., n are nonempty, compact and convex subsets of E, let g = (g1 , g2 , ..., gn ) : C → C be a continuous onto function and let fi : C → C be a function which is lowersemicontinuous in the second variable and xi → (fi )(y1 , ..., g(xi ), ...yn ) is quasi concave for every i = 1, ..., n. Then there exists an y ∈ C such that fi (y) ≤ fi (y1 , ..., g(xi ), ..., yn )), for every xi ∈ Ci , i = 1, ..., n.

Proof. Let f (x, y) =

n X

(fi (y) − fi (y1 , ..., g(xi ), ..., yn ))). It is easy to see

i=1

that f satisfies the assumptions of Theorem 3.1. This yields an y ∈ C such that sup f (x, y) ≤ sup f (z, g(z)) = 0. x∈C

z∈C

Letting xi = (y1 , y2 , ..., xi , ..., yn ) (i = 1, ..., n) in the last inequality we conclude that fi (y) − fi (y1 , ..., g(xi ), ..., yn )) ≤ 0 for every xi ∈ Ci , i = 1, ..., n. ¤ The following result due to M. Sion2 has important applications in convex analysis and games theory: Theorem 4.2. Let D and F be two nonempty, compact and convex subsets and let f : D × F → R+ be a function which is upper-semicontinuous and quasi-concave function in the first variable, and lower-semicontinuous and quasi-convex in the second variable. Then min max f (x, y) = max min f (x, y). y∈F x∈D

x∈D y∈F

This result can be derived via Theorems 3.1 and 3.3 above provided that inf f (z, g1 (z)) = sup f (z, g2 (z)).

RANGE CONDITION IN OPTIMIZATION AND OPTIMAL CONTROL N.H. PAVEL Department of Mathematics, Ohio University, Athens OH 45701, USA E-mail: [email protected] This paper deals with maximum principles for locally Lipschitz cost functionals, under constraints given by functional equations associated with pairs of closed range unbounded operators. The so called ”range condition” introduced by the author, plays an essential role. Such abstract maximum principles have both a unifying effect in this area and applications to optimal control of some partial differential equations. Keywords: Cost functionals; Fr´ echet derivatives; Clarke’s generalized gradients; Range conditions; Maximum principles; Optimal control.

1. Introduction In the early 1995 the author has started the investigation of the problem ½ Minimize the cost functional L(y, u) = L(y o , uo ), (y o , uo ) ∈ M (P) subject to the constraints: (y, u) ∈ M = {(y, u), Ay = Bu + f }. He observed that if the linear(unbounded) operators A and B are densely defined on a Hilbert space H, with closed ranges R(A) and R(B) and if the range condition (RC) (the relationship between R(A) and R(B)) below holds: (RC)

R(A) ⊆ R(B), or vice versa: R(B) ⊆ R(A)

then one can obtain maximum principles of the form: If (y o , uo ) is an optimal pair, then there is p such that: A∗ p ∈ ∂y L(y o , uo ), B ∗ p ∈ −∂u L(y o , uo ). Here ∂L could mean Fréchet derivative, or subdifferential or Clarke’s generalized gradients, depending on the conditions on L, A and B. Such maximum principles have applications to optimal control of some differential systems including some PDE (see Refs. 1–6). Moreover, this

abstract scheme includes the essentials of many existing results on optimal control, such as those in Barbu7 (i.e. it has an unifying effect, too). This idea was extensively extended to more general cases by the author in some joint papers with Aizicovici and Motreanu, and by Voisei8,9 . Voisei has proved that actually it suffices to assume that only one of A and B has a closed range and that in continuous case, the range condition (RC) (the relationship between R(A) and R(B)) above, is not necessary. We can also call the (RC) above — the strong range condition (SRC) between R(A) and R(B). A significant particular case is: L(y, u) = g(y) + h(u), with g and h Fréchet differentiable, or locally Lipschitz continuous, or subdifferentiable in the sense of convex analysis. In this paper we show that the range condition (RC) above can still be relaxed to the weak range condition (WRC) as in Hypothesis (H2) below. Moreover, we give a simple proof (via Proposition 2.1) of the fact that at least in the case in which A and B are continuous, the range condition (WRC) in (H2) or (RC) above are not necessary. So the following interesting open problems remain to be investigated: (OP1) Are there cases in which the range conditions of type (H2) in Theorem 2.1 are necessary? More precisely, are there pairs of operators A, B — not both continuous, for which the range condition is not satisfied and the conclusion of Theorem 2.1 fails? (OP2) Are there pairs A, B not both continuous for which the range condition (RC) above is not satisfied but the conclusion of Theorem 2.1 holds? (OP3) Are there pairs A, B satisfying the weak range condition (WRC) in (H2) below, but not satisfying the range condition (RC) above? Let us recall the definition of the generalized directional derivative in the sense of Clarke. Definition 1.1. Let f : U → R be a locally Lipschitz function on an open subset U of a Banach space X. The generalized directional derivative of f at a point x ∈ U in the direction v ∈ X is the number f o (x; v) := lim sup y→x t↓0

Range Condition in Optimization and Optimal Control

(H1) A : D(A) ⊂ H → H and B : D(B) ⊂ H → H are linear densely defined operators. (H2) The range R(B) of B is closed and the weak range condition (WRC) below holds. (WRC) S AB = {v ∈ D(A); Av ∈ R(B)}, is dense in H. Here one can interchange the role of A and B. (H3) L : H × H → R is Fréchet differentiable, or locally Lipschitz continuous. The case of g and h lower semicontinuous convex proper functions, requires additional hypotheses discussed in Refs. 1,8. In this case, both A and B must be also closed with closed range. 2. Maximum Principles under Minimal Conditions ½ (P)

Locally minimize the cost functional L(y, u) = g(y) + h(u) subject to the constraints Ay = Bu + f .

Set

M = {(y, u), Ay = Bu + f }

(1)

We say that (y o , uo ) ∈ M is a local optimal pair for the problem P above, if there is a neighborhood U of (y o , uo ) such that L(y, u) ≥ L(y o , uo ) for all (y, u) ∈ U ∩ M. Theorem 2.1. Assume that the Hypotheses (H1), H(2) and (H3) hold and that (y o , uo ) is an optimal pair for problem (P) above. Then there is p such that: A∗ p ∈ −∂y L(y o , uo ), B ∗ p ∈ ∂u L(y o , uo ). Remark 2.1. If the strong range condition (RC) holds (RC) R(A)⊆R(B), then S AB =D(A) so the weak range condition (WRC) above holds too. Obviously, in Theorem 2.1 we can interchange the role of A and B. Proof of Theorem 2.1. Part I. The case of Fréchet differentiability of g and h. Clearly for every t∈R and Av=Bw, we have (y o +tv, uo +tw)∈M , so L(y o + tv, uo + tw) − L(y o , uo ) ≥ 0, for allt ∈ R

which implies

˙ o ) is orthogonal to the kernel K(B) of B, so h(u ˙ o) This means that h(u ∗ ∗ ˙ belongs to the range R(B ) of B , i.e. there is p such that h(uo ) = B ∗ p. Substituting into (3) we have: hg(y ˙ o ), vi + hB ∗ p, wi = 0, for all Av = Bw

(5)

As w ∈ D(B), this implies hg(y ˙ o ), vi + hp, Bwi = 0, for all Av = Bw i.e. for all v ∈ S AB

(6)

hg(y ˙ o ), vi + hp, Avi = 0, for all v ∈ S AB

(7)

so which is supposed to be dense in H. This implies p ∈ D(A∗ ) and hg(y ˙ o ), vi + hA∗ p, vi = 0, for all v ∈ S AB

(8)

which implies: A∗ p = −g(y ˙ o ). Part II. The case: g and h — locally Lipschitz. In this case (2) implies the existence of ξ ∈ ∂g(yo ) and η ∈ ∂h(uo ) satisfying hξ, vi + hη, wi = 0, for all Av = Bw

(9)

which implies as above B ∗ p = η ∈ ∂h(uo ) and A∗ p = −ξ ∈ ∂g(yo ) which completes the proof. Remark 2.2. For the conclusion of Theorem 2.1, the range conditions of type (H2) in Theorem 2.1 may not necessary, as shown below. Indeed, in the case in which A and B are linear bounded operators, the range condition (H2) in Theorem 2.1 is not necessary. To prove this, let us recall a classical result: Proposition 2.1. Assume A : H → H is linear bounded and J is Fréchet differentiable or locally Lipschitz continuous. 1. Let : J(y o ) = minJ(y) subject to: Ay = f . Then necessarily there is p ˙ o ) = A∗ p , with Ay o = f . such that J(y ˙ o ) = A∗ p 2. If J is convex then the necessary condition J(y (with Ay o = f ) is sufficient, too. ˙ o ) = A∗ p 3. If J is not convex, then the necessary condition J(y o (with Ay = f ) may not be sufficient. Proof. The proof of Part 1 is standard. o 0 D Part 2. E Let f (t) = J(y + tz), with Az = 0 and t ∈ R. Then f (0) = ˙ o ), z = hA∗ p, zi = hp, Azi = 0 so f (t) ≥ f (0) for all t ∈ R, as f is J(y convex, too. Therefore: J(y o + tz) ≥ J(y o ) for all t ∈ R and Az = 0. Now

let Aw = f . We do have Ay o = f , so z = w − y o ∈ N (A) , i.e. Az = 0, so J(y o + z) ≥ J(y o ), i.e. J(w) ≥ J(y o ), for all w with Aw = f , q.e.d. Part 3. Let us consider the example: µ ¶ 01 A= (10) 01 2 ˙ f =(5, 5), J(y1 , y2 )=y13 + y2 , p=(1, 0) and y o =(0, 5). Clearly J(y)=(3y 1 , 1) o ˙ )=A∗ p with y=(y1 , y2 ). It is easy to verify that the necessary conditions J(y with Ay o =f are satisfied, but obviously y o is not a minimum point of J(y o )= min J(y) subject to: Ay=f , as such a minimum does not exist. Now let us consider the problem (P) with A and B linear bounded. Define the operator A from H ×H into H ×H by A(y, u) = (Ay−Bu, 0).

Proposition 2.2. Let A and B be linear bounded operators from H into itself, L Fréchet differentiable, and let (yo , uo ) be a minimum point (a solution of Problem (P)). Then there is (p, q) such that: ˙ o )) = A∗ (p, q) = (A∗ p, −B ∗ q). (g(y ˙ o ), h(u Proof. Clearly, Ay = Bu + f iff A (y, u)= (f, 0). It is easy to check that A∗ (p, q) = (A∗ p, −B ∗ q). According to Proposition 2.1, with A and H × H ˙ o )) = in place of A and H, respectively, there is (p, q) such that: (g(y ˙ o ), h(u ∗ ∗ ∗ A (p, q) = (A p, −B q), which completes the proof. Remark 2.3. Therefore, the conclusion of Proposition 2.2 holds without any assumption on the range conditions of type (H2) in Theorem 2.1. Thus the range condition in Theorem 2.1 is not necessary in the case in which A and B are both linear bounded operators on H. See also the open problems (OP1)–(OP3) in Section 1. References 1. J.K.

LIMITS OF SOLUTIONS TO THE INITIAL BOUNDARY DIRICHLET PROBLEM FOR SEMILINEAR HYPERBOLIC EQUATION WITH SMALL PARAMETER A. PERJAN State University of Moldova, Chi¸sin˘ au E-mail: [email protected] We study the existence of the limits of solution to singularly perturbed initial boundary value problem of hyperbolic-parabolic type with boundary Dirichlet condition for the semilinear wave equation. We prove the convergence of solutions and also the convergence of gradients of solutions to perturbed problem to the corresponding solutions to the unperturbed problem as the small parameter tends to zero. We show that the derivatives of solution relative to time-variable possess the boundary layer function of the exponential type in the neighborhood of t = 0. Keywords: Semiliniar wave equation; Singular perturbation; Boundary layer function.

1. Statement of the Problem Let Ω ∈ Rn be an open and bounded set with the smooth boundary ∂Ω. Consider the following initial boundary value problem for the semilinear wave equation, which will be called (Pε ):  00 εu + u0ε − ∆uε + |uε |p uε = f (x, t), x ∈ Ω, t > 0,    ε uε |t=0 = u0 (x), u0ε |t=0 = u1 (x), x ∈ Ω,    uε |x∈∂Ω = 0, t ≥ 0, where ε is a small positive parameter and 0 denote the derivative relative to variable t. We will study the behavior of the solutions to the problem (Pε ) as ε → 0. Our aim is to establish the relationship between the solutions to the problem (Pε ) and the corresponding solutions to the unperturbed problem (P0 ):

The relationship (5) shows that the derivative u0ε has the singular behavior relative to the small values of the parameter ε in neighborhood of the set {(x, t)|x ∈ Ω, t = 0}. It means that this neighborhood is the boundary layer for u0ε and the function αe−t/ε is the boundary layer function for u0ε . The proofs of relations (3), (4) and (5) are based on two key points.

Apriori Estimates for the Solutions to Problem (Pε ) In what follows, we will use the following notations. For k ∈ N and p ∈ [1, ∞] we denote | · |0 =: k · kL2 (Ω) ;

k · kk =: k · kH k (Ω) ;

| · |W k,p =: k · kW 1,p (0,T ;L2 (Ω)) ; T

k · k =: k · kH01 (Ω) ;

k · kW k,p =: k · kW k,p (0,T ;H01 (Ω)) . T

Also, in what follows, we agree that all constants which depend only on n, p and Ω we will denote by C. Denote by E(u; t) = ku(t)k + kukW 1,2 + |u0 (t)|0 + t

6. Proof of Theorem 3.1 Without loss of generality, in what follows we may consider that f ∈ W 2,l (0, ∞; L2 (Ω)). Indeed, if f ∈ W 2,l (0, T ; L2 (Ω)) for l ∈ [1, ∞], then there exits the extension f˜ ∈ W 2,l (0, ∞; L2 (Ω)) such that kf˜kW 2,l (0,∞;L2 (Ω)) ≤ C(T )kf˜kW 2,l (0,T ;L2 (Ω)) . If u ˜ is a solution to the problem (Pε ) with the same initial conditions u0 , u1 and the right-hand side f˜, then according to Theorem 2.1 we have that u(t) = u ˜(t) for t ∈ [0, T ]. Similarly, if v˜ is a solution to the problem (P0 ) with the same initial condition u0 and the right-hand side f˜, then according to Theorem 2.2 we have that v(t) = v˜(t) for t ∈ [0, T ].

WELL-POSEDNESS OF THE FIXED POINT PROBLEM FOR MULTIVALUED OPERATORS ADRIAN PETRUS ¸ EL and IOAN A. RUS Babe¸s-Bolyai University Cluj-Napoca, Department of Applied Mathematics, Kog˘ alniceanu 1, 400084, Cluj-Napoca, Romania. E-mail: [email protected] E-mail: [email protected] The purpose of this paper is to define two concepts of well-posed fixed point problem for multivalued operators and to give some metric properties of these notions. Several examples of well-posed fixed point problem are given. Some open problems are pointed out. Keywords: Pompeiu-Hausdorff functional; The gap functional; Fixed point; Strict fixed point; Multivalued Picard operator; Nonself multivalued operator.

1. Introduction Throughout this paper, the standard notations and terminologies in nonlinear analysis are used. For the convenience of the reader we recall some of them (see Refs. 1–7, etc.). Let (X, d) be a metric space. We will use the following symbols: P (X) = {Y ⊂ X| Y 6= ∅}, Pb (X) := {Y ∈ P (X)| Y is bounded } Pcl (X) := {Y ∈ P (X)| Y is closed}, Pb,cl (X) := Pb (X) ∩ Pcl (X). If T :[ X → P (X) is a multivalued operator, then for Y ∈ P (X), T (Y ) := T (x) will denote the image of the set Y , the set of all nonempty x∈Y

invariant subsets of T will be denoted by I(T ) := {Y ∈ P (X)|T (Y ) ⊂ Y }, while the graph of the multivalued operator T is denoted by Graf T := {(x, y) ∈ X × X | y ∈ T (x)}. Also T 1 (x) := T (x), . . . , T n+1 (x) = T (T n (x)), n ∈ N, x ∈ X denote the iterate operators of T . By definition, the orbit of T starting from x ∈ X is a sequence (xn )n∈N ⊂ X such that x0 := x, xn+1 ∈ T (xn ), for each n ∈ N. Throughout the paper FT := {x ∈ X| x ∈ T (x)} (respectively (SF )T :=

{x ∈ X| {x} = T (x)}) denotes the fixed point set, (respectively the strict fixed point set) of the multivalued operator T . The following (generalized) functionals are used in the main sections of the paper. The gap functional (1) Dd : P (X)×P (X) → R+ ∪{+∞}, Dd (A, B) := inf{d(a, b)| a∈A, b∈B}. The δ generalized functional (2) δd : P (X) × P (X) → R+ ∪ {+∞}, δd (A, B) := sup{d(a, b)| a∈A, b∈B}. The excess generalized functional (3) ρd : P (X) × P (X) → R+ ∪ {+∞}, ρd (A, B) := sup{Dd (a, B)| a∈A}. The Pompeiu-Hausdorff generalized functional (4) Hd :P (X)×P (X)→R+ ∪ {+∞}, Hd (A, B) := max{ρd (A, B), ρd (B, A)}. It is well-known that (Pb,cl (X), Hd ) is a complete metric space provided (X, d) is a complete metric space. Let (X, d), (Y, d0 ) be metric spaces and T : X → Pcl (Y ) be a multivalued operator. Then T is said to be an a-contraction if a ∈ ]0, 1[ and Hd0 (T (x1 ), T (x2 )) ≤ ad(x1 , x2 ), for all x1 , x2 ∈ X. Also, T is called contractive if Hd0 (T (x1 ), T (x2 )) < d(x1 , x2 ), for all x1 , x2 ∈ X, with x1 6= x2 . The notion of well-posed fixed point problem for singlevalued operators was defined by F.S. De Blasi, J. Myjak8 and S. Reich, A.J. Zaslavski9 and also studied by I.A. Rus in Ref. 10. The aim of this paper is to define and study the well-posedness of the fixed point problem for multivalued operators. Some open problems are pointed out. 2. Well-posedness of Fixed Point Problems We give first two definitions for a well-posed fixed point problem. Definition 2.1. Let (X, d) be a metric space, Y ∈P (X) and T : Y →Pcl (X) be a multivalued operator. The fixed point problem is well-posed for T with respect to Dd iff: (a1 ) FT = {x∗ } (b1 ) If xn ∈ Y , n ∈ N and Dd (xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞ then xn → x∗ , as n → +∞.

Well-posedness of the Fixed Point Problem

297

Definition 2.2. Let (X, d) be a metric space, Y ∈P (X) and T : Y →Pcl (X) be a multivalued operator. The fixed point problem is well-posed for T with respect to Hd iff: (a2 ) (SF )T = {x∗ } (b2 ) If xn ∈ Y , n ∈ N and Hd (xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞ then xn → x∗ , as n → +∞. Remark 2.1. It’s easy to see that Hd (u, T (u)) = δd (u, T (u)) and hence (b2 ) implies (b1 ). Moreover, FT = (SF )T = {x∗ } implies that: if the fixed point problem is well-posed for T with respect to Dd then the fixed point problem is well-posed for T with respect to Hd . Example 2.1. Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and T : X → Pcl (X) be a multivalued a-contraction. Suppose that (SF )T 6= ∅. Then the fixed point problem is well-posed for T with respect to Dd and with respect to Hd too. Proof. Since (SF )T 6= ∅ and T is an a-contraction we have (see Ref. 5, 87) that FT =(SF )T ={x∗ }. Suppose Dd (xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞. Then d(xn , x∗ )≤Dd (xn , T (xn ))+H(T (xn ), T (x∗ )) ≤ Dd (xn , T (xn ))+a·d(xn , x∗ ). 1 ·Dd (xn , T (xn )) and the conclusion follows. The seHence d(xn , x∗ ) ≤ 1−a cond conclusion follows from Remark 2.1. ¤ Example 2.2. Let X = (0, +∞), d(x, y) := |x − y| and T : X → Pcl (X) defined by T (x) := { 21 x, 21 x + 1}. Then: (a) FT = {2} (b) (SF )T = ∅ (c) T is 21 -contraction (d) the fixed point problem is not well-posed for T with respect to Dd . Indeed, if xn < 1, then D(xn , T (xn )) = 21 xn → 0, as n → +∞ implies xn 9 2, as n → +∞. Example 2.3. Let X = R, d(x, y) := |x − y| and T : X → Pcl (X) defined by ½ [−2, −1], for x < 0 T (x) := [ 31 x, 21 x], for x ≥ 0 Then: (a) FT = [−2, −1] ∪ {0} (b) (SF )T = {0} (c) T |R+ : R+ → R+ is 21 -contraction (d) the fixed point problem is well-posed for T with respect to Hd .

Let us prove (d). First we may remark that H(x, T (x)) ≥ 21 , for each x ∈ R∗− . If we suppose that H(xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞, then there exists n0 ∈ N∗ such that xn ∈ R+ , for each n ≥ n0 . Now the conclusion follows from (c). ¤ Some abstract results are given now. Lemma 2.1. Let X be a nonempty set and d, d0 two metrics on X. Suppose that d, d0 are metric equivalent. Let T : X → Pcl (X) be a multivalued operator. Then: (i) The fixed point problem for T is well-posed with respect to Dd if and only if it is well-posed with respect to Dd0 . (ii) The fixed point problem for T is well-posed with respect to Hd if and only if it is well-posed with respect to Hd0 . Proof. (i) Let c1 , c2 > 0 such that d ≤ c1 d0 and d0 ≤ c2 d. Then Dd ≤ c1 Dd0 and Dd0 ≤ c2 Dd . Let x∗ ∈ X be the unique fixed point of T . Let xn ∈ X, n ∈ N be such that Dd0 (xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞. Then Dd (xn , T (xn )) ≤ c1 Dd0 (xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞. d

Since the fixed point problem is well-posed for Dd we get that xn → x∗ , as n → +∞. As consequence we have d0 (xn , x∗ ) ≤ c2 d(xn , x∗ ) → 0, as n → +∞. In a similar way, interchanging the roles of d and d0 we get the conclusion. (ii) The second conclusion can be established in a similar way, by taking into account that if d ≤ c1 d0 and d0 ≤ c2 d then δd ≤ c1 δd0 and δd0 ≤ c2 δd . ¤ In a similar way, we have: Lemma 2.2. Let X be a nonempty set and d, d0 two metrics on X. Suppose that d, d0 are topologically equivalent and there exists c > 0 such that d ≤ cd0 . Let T : X → Pcl (X) be a multivalued operator. Then: (i) If the fixed point problem for T is well-posed with respect to Dd then it is well-posed with respect to Dd0 .

(ii) If (SF )T = {x∗ } and T is lower semicontinuous, then the fixed point problem is well-posed with respect to Hd . Proof. (i) Let xn ∈ X, n ∈ N be such that Dd (xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞. d

Let (xni )i∈N be a convergent subsequence of (xn )n∈N . Suppose xni → x e, d

as i → +∞. Then there exists yni ∈ T (xni ), i ∈ N, such that yni → x e, as i → +∞. Since T is closed we get that x e = x∗ . Since the space X is d compact, we obtain the desired conclusion: xn → x∗ , as n → +∞. (ii) Let xn ∈ X, n ∈ N be such that Hd (xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞. d

Let (xni )i∈N be a convergent subsequence of (xn )n∈N . Suppose xni → x e, as i → +∞. Since T is continuous and Hd (xni , T (xni )) → 0, as i → +∞, we immediately get that Hd (e x, T (e x)) = 0. Hence x e ∈ (SF )T and so x e = x∗ . d

Taking into account that the space X is compact we have that xn → x∗ , as n → +∞. ¤ As consequence, we have the following result for contractive multivalued operators. Theorem 2.1. Let (X, d) be a compact metric space and T : X → Pcl (X) be a multivalued contractive operator. Then: (i) If cardFT ≤ 1, then the fixed point problem for T is well posed with respect to Dd . (ii) If (SF )T 6= ∅ and T is lower semicontinuous, then the fixed point problem for T is well posed with respect to Hd . Proof. (i) By a theorem of Smithson11 , we have that FT = {x∗ }. Since T is contractive, we get that it is upper semicontinuous. The proof follows now from Lemma 2.3 (i). (ii) If (SF )T 6= ∅, then, from the contractive condition, it follows (SF )T = {x∗ }. Moreover FT = (SF )T = {x∗ }. Indeed, if y ∈ FT , with y 6= x∗ , then H(T (x∗ ), T (y)) = δ(x∗ , T (y)) < d(x∗ , y). On the other hand, if cardT (y) > 1, we get δ(x∗ , T (y)) ≥ d(x∗ , y) and hence y = x∗ . The proof follows from Lemma 2.3 (ii). ¤ 3. Multivalued Picard Operators The following concept was introduced by A. Petru¸sel and I.A. Rus in Ref. 12 (see also Ref. 4). Definition 3.1. Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and T : X→Pcl (X).

(ii) T n (x) →d {x∗ }, as n → ∞, for each x ∈ X. A natural question is the following: Problem 3.1. For which MP operators the fixed point problem is wellposed? Since many examples of MP operators come from generalized multivalued contractions, the main purpose of this section is to study the following open problem: Problem (3.1)’ For which generalized multivalued contractions the fixed point problem is well-posed? The first result of this section is: Theorem 3.1. Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and T : X → Pcl (X) ´ c type multivalued operator, i. e. there exists q ∈]0, 1[ such that for be a Ciri´ each x, y ∈ X we have H(T (x), T (y)) ≤ ≤ q · max{d(x, y), D(x, T (x)), D(y, T (y)), 21 (D(x, T (y)) + D(y, T (x)))}. Suppose card(FT ) ≤ 1. Then the fixed point problem is well-posed with respect to D. ´ c (see Ref. 13) we have that FT 6= ∅. Hence FT = {x∗ }. Proof. From Ciri´ Consider (xn )n∈N ⊂ X, such that D(xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞. Then d(xn , x∗ ) ≤ D(xn , T (xn )) + H(T (xn ), T (x∗ )) ≤ D(xn , T (xn )) 1 +q max{d(xn , x∗),D(xn , T (xn )), (D(xn , T (x∗))+D(x∗, T (xn )))} 2 1 ∗ ≤D(xn , T (xn ))+q max{d(xn , x ),D(xn , T (xn )), (d(xn , x∗)+D(x∗, T (xn )))} 2 1 ≤ D(xn , T (xn ))+q max{d(xn , x∗ ), D(xn , T (xn )), d(xn , x∗ )+ D(xn , T (xn ))} 2 1 = D(xn , T (xn )) + q max{D(xn , T (xn )), d(xn , x∗ ) + D(xn , T (xn ))}. 2 q+2 , 1+q}·D(xn , T (xn )). Then we immediately Hence d(xn , x∗ )≤ max{ 2(1−q) ∗ get d(xn , x )≤(1+q)·D(xn , T (xn ))→0 as n→+∞. The proof is complete. ¤

Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and T : X → Pcl (X) ´ c type multivalued operator such that (SF )T 6= ∅. be a Ciri´ Then the fixed point problem is well-posed with respect to H. Proof. Let us show that (SF )T = {x∗ }. Let x∗ , y ∗ ∈ (SF )T be arbitary. Then d(x∗ , y ∗ )=H(T (x∗ ), T (y ∗ ))≤q max{d(x∗ , y ∗ ), D(x∗ , T (x∗ )), D(y ∗ , T (y ∗ )), 1 1 (D(x∗ , T (y ∗ ))+D(y ∗ , T (x∗ )))}=q max{d(x∗ , y ∗ ), (d(x∗ , y ∗ ) + d(y ∗ , x∗ ))} 2 2 = qd(x∗ , y ∗ ). Hence (SF )T = {x∗ }. The proof follows now from Theorem 3.1, via Remark 2.1. ¤ Recall now the notion of strict comparison function. A function ϕ : R+ → R+ is said to be a strict comparison function (see Ref. 5) if it is ∞ X strict increasing and ϕn (t) < +∞, for each t > 0. As consequence, we n=1

also have ϕ(t) < t, for each t > 0, ϕ(0) = 0 and ϕ is continuous in 0. Let (X, d), (Y, d0 ) be metric spaces and T : X → Pcl (Y ) be a multivalued operator. Then T is called a ϕ-contraction if ϕ : R+ → R+ is a strict comparison function and for all x1 , x2 ∈ X we have that Hd0 (F (x1 ), F (x2 )) ≤ ϕ(d(x1 , x2 )). Some well-possedness results for multivalued ϕ-contractions are given now. Theorem 3.3. Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and T : X → Pcl (X) be a multivalued ϕ-contraction such that card(FT ) ≤ 1. Suppose that the function ψ : R+ → R+ , given by ψ(t) := t − ϕ(t) is strict increasing and lim ψ(t) = +∞.

t→+∞

Then the fixed point problem is well-posed with respect to D.

Proof. From Wegrzyk’s theorem (see Ref. 15) we have that FT 6= ∅. Hence FT = {x∗ }. Let (xn )n∈N ⊂ X be such that D(xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞. Then d(xn , x∗ ) ≤ D(xn , T (xn ))+Hd (T (xn ), T (x∗ )) ≤ D(xn , T (xn ))+ ϕ(d(xn , x∗ )). Hence ψ(d(xn , x∗ )) ≤ D(xn , T (xn )). Since ψ −1 is continuous in 0, we have d(xn , x∗ ) ≤ ψ −1 (D(xn , T (xn ))) → 0, as n → +∞. The proof is complete. ¤

Theorem 3.4. Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and T : X → Pcl (X) be a multivalued ϕ-contraction such that (SF )T 6= ∅. Suppose that the function ψ : R+ → R+ , given by ψ(t) := t − ϕ(t) is strict increasing and lim ψ(t) = +∞. t→+∞

Then the fixed point problem is well-posed with respect to H.

Proof. As before, we will show that (SF )T = {x∗ }. Let x∗ , y ∗ ∈ (SF )T . Then d(x∗ , y ∗ ) = H(T (x∗ ), T (y ∗ )) ≤ ϕ(d(x∗ , y ∗ )). Since ϕ is a strict comparison function we get that y ∗ = x∗ and hence (SF )T = {x∗ }. The conclusion follows from Theorem 3.3, via Remark 2.1. ¤ Remark 3.2. It is easy to see that, if the hypothesis of Theorem 3.2 or Theorem 3.4 are satisfied, then FT = (SF )T = {x∗ }. S. Reich in Ref. 14 introduced the following class of multivalued operators: Definition 3.2. Let (X, d) be a metric space and T : X → Pb (X). Then T is called a multivalued δ-contraction of Reich type, if there exist a, b, c ∈ R+ with a + b + c < 1 such that δ(T (x), T (y)) ≤ ad(x, y) + bδ(x, T (x)) + cδ(y, T (y)), for all x, y ∈ X.

Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and T : X → Pb (X) be a multivalued δ-contraction of Reich type. Then the fixed point problem is well-posed with respect to Hd . We finish this section by presenting two important remarks. Remark 3.3. Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and T : X → Pcl (X) be a multivalued operator such that FT = {x∗ }. Suppose that there exists a function γ : R+ → R+ such that γ(0) = 0 and γ is continuous in 0. Suppose that for each x ∈ X we have d(x, x∗ ) ≤ γ(D(x, T (x))). Then the fixed point problem is well-posed for T with respect to Dd . Indeed, let xn ∈ X, n ∈ N such that D(xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞. Then d(xn , x∗ ) ≤ γ(D(xn , T (xn ))) → 0, as n → +∞. ¤ By a similar argument we also have: Remark 3.4.

Let (X, d) be a metric space and T : X → Pcl (X) be a multivalued operator. Then the following assertions hold: (i) If T is a MP operator then each orbit of T converges to x∗ . (ii) If T is asymptotic regular and the fixed point problem is well posed for T with respect to D, then each orbit of T converges to x∗ . Proof. (i) Let (xn ))n∈N be an orbit of T starting from an arbitrary x ∈ X. Then, since T is a MP operator, we have: d(xn+1 , x∗ ) ≤ H(T n (x), x∗ ) → 0, as as n → +∞. (ii) Let (xn ))n∈N be an orbit of T starting from an arbitrary x ∈ X. Then D(xn , T (xn )) ≤ d(xn , xn+1 ) → 0, as n → +∞. Since the fixed point problem is well posed with respect to D we get the conclusion xn → x∗ , as n → +∞. ¤ The above results give rise to the following open question. Open question 4.1. Let (X, d) be a metric space and T : X → Pcl (X) be a multivalued operator such that FT = (SF )T = {x∗ }. In which conditions the following statements are equivalent: (a) T is a MP operator. (b) Each orbit of T converges to x∗ . (c) T is asymptotic regular and the fixed point problem is well posed for T with respect to D. 5. Non-self Multivalued Operators We will prove first the following abstract result. Lemma 5.1. Let (X, d) be a complete metric space and Y ∈ Pcl (X). Consider a multivalued operator T : Y → Pcl (X) such that FT = {x∗ }. Suppose that there exists a function γ : R+ → R+ such that γ(0) = 0 and γ is continuous in 0 and for each x ∈ Y we have d(x, x∗ ) ≤ γ(D(x, T (x))). Then the fixed point problem is well-posed for T with respect to Dd . Proof. Let xn ∈ Y , n ∈ N such that D(xn , T (xn )) → 0, as n → +∞. Then d(xn , x∗ ) ≤ γ(D(xn , T (xn ))) → 0, as n → +∞. ¤ In a similar way, we can prove:

SOME REMARKS ON A NONLINEAR SEMIGROUP ACTING ON POSITIVE MEASURES EUGEN POPA Department of Mathematics, University Alexandru Ioan Cuza, Ia¸si, 700506, Romania E-mail: [email protected] Taking as starting point a recent paper of M. Baake1 , where a semigroup of positive, nonlinear operators acting on measures is studied, we present a few related results of potential theory. First, the associated resolvent is computed. It is found out that the resolvent coincides with the Laplace transform of the semigroup, as in the linear case. Let A be the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup. It is an everywhere defined (non-linear) operator. Moreover, it is proved that this resolvent has a natural extension to a larger set of (non-necessarily positive) measures, as the inverse of (αI − A) on positive measures. It is proved also that this resolvent satisfies the usual resolvent equation, as in the linear case. In order to achieve these computations, an extension of the formula established by Baake is needed. Next, a characterization for this type of resolvent is provided, in terms of the infinitesimal generator. A similar characterization is also given for the semigroup. Finally, the invariant and excessive elements with respect to the resolvent/semigroup, are described. Keywords: Resolvent; Semigroup; Measure.

There exists a canonical correspondence between the strictly increasing subsets A := {α1 , ..., αp } ⊆ L, with αi < αi+1 and the partitions of N : NA := {A0 , A1 , ..., Ap }, where A0 := {0, ..., [α1 ]}; A1 := {[α1 ] + 1, ..., [α2 ]},..., Ap := {[αp ] + 1, . . . , n}.

fined on a (signed, non-zero) measure x on X as: p 1 O πA (x) RA (x) := kωkp i=1 i Q where πAi is the projection on the space i∈A Xi . Let us recall the fundamental formula of Baake:

Theorem 1.1 (Ref. 2). For any ω positive measure and t ∈ [0, 1]: RA [tω + (1 − t)RA ω] = RA ω The evolution equation for which an explicit solution is provided is: ω˙ = ρA (RA − 1)ω (where ρA ≥ 0). 2. Results about the Associated Resolvent For sake of simplicity, we consider the case n = 1, but we do not ask to have locally compact spaces. Hence, let (X, X ) and (Y, Y) be measurable spaces. M resp. M+ denotes the set of all signed (resp. positive ) measures on (X × Y, X ⊗ Y) with finite total variation. We define a (non-linear) operator V : M → M by 1 x1 ⊗ x2 V x := kxk where x1 denotes the projection of the measure x ∈ M, x 6= 0 on X. With this operator, we associate a semigroup (of positive, non-linear operators) as Pt x = e−ct x + (1 − e−ct )V x From the expression of the semigroup (or directly from the equation) we get that the infinitesimal generator is: Pt x − x (e−ct − 1)(I − V ) = lim = c(V − I) t→0 t→0 t t Also, by taking the integral (in any sense), we get the Laplace transform of the semi-group (we cannot name it the resolvent yet!): Z ∞ Z ∞ Z ∞ e−αt Pt xdt = e−(α+c)t xdt + (e−αt − e−(α+c)t )V xdt = Ax := lim

3. An Extension of the Resolvent We can do more. We will establish the injectivity of the operator αI − A on M+ . Let us denote Mα := (αI − A)(M+ ). Obviously M+ ⊆ Mα . Proposition 3.1. αI − A : M+ −→ Mα is a bijection. Proof. Denoting, for simplicity β := 1 + (α + c)ω 0 − cV ω 0 may be written as

α , the equality (α + c)ω − cV ω = c

β(ω − ω 0 ) = V ω − V ω 0 β(ω − ω 0 ) =

1 1 ω1 ⊗ ω2 − 0 ω 0 ⊗ ω20 ω(X × Y ) ω (X × Y ) 1

It suffices to consider this equality for rectangles A × B: β (ω(A × B) − ω 0 (A × B)) =

−

1 ω(A × Y )ω(X × B)− ω(X × Y )

1 ω 0 (A × Y )ω 0 (X × B) ω 0 (X × Y )

β (ω(A × B)ω(X × Y )ω 0 (X × Y ) − ω 0 (X × Y )ω 0 (A × B)ω(X × Y )) = = ω(A × Y )ω(X × B)ω 0 (X × Y ) − ω 0 (A × Y )ω 0 (X × B)ω(X × Y ) We get next: ω 0 (X × Y ) [βω(X × Y )ω(A × B) − ω(A × Y )ω(X × B)] = = ω(X × Y ) [βω 0 (X × Y )ω 0 (A × B) − ω 0 (A × Y )ω 0 (X × B)] hence: βω(X × Y )ω(A × B) − ω(A × Y )ω(X × B) = ω(X × Y ) =

βω 0 (X × Y )ω 0 (A × B) − ω 0 (A × Y )ω 0 (X × B) ω 0 (X × Y )

Taking A = X one obtains ω(X × B) = ω 0 (X × B); taking B = Y , one obtains ω(A×Y ) = ω 0 (A×Y ). Especially ω(1) = ω 0 (1). Finally ω(A×B) = ω 0 (A × B), hence ω = ω 0 . ¤ Corollary 3.1. Φα := (αI − A)−1 is the extension to Mα of Vα .

Remark 3.1. If 0 < α < β then M+ ⊂ Mα ⊂ Mβ . Indeed, for each c(β − α) β+c ω+ V ω. Then (βI − A)ω = ω ∈ M+ , let us choose ν := α+c α(α + c) (αI − A)ν. In order to obtain an explicit formula for Φα , we need an extension of Baake’s formula. Lemma 3.1. Let us denote y := mx + nV x, with m, n ∈ IR and x ∈ M. We have: 2

V (mx + nV x) =

(mkxk + nx(1)) Vx kxkkyk

If x ≥ 0, then: V (mω + nV ω) =

(m + n)2 ω(1) Vω kyk

If moreover mω + nV ω ≥ 0, then: V (mω + nV ω) = (m + n)V ω As a particular case V (ω − V ω) = 0; more generally: ´ ³X ck (ωk − V ωk ) = 0. V Proof. Indeed, by definition: Vy =

As an application of this formula, we obtain the explicit formula for Φα : Proposition 3.2. Φα x =

c kxk 1 x+ Vx α+c α(α + c) x(1)

Proof. Since x ∈ Mα , we have a unique expression x = (α + c)ω − cV ω, with ω ∈ M+ . Hence x(1) = (α + c)ω(1) − cV ω(1) = αω(1) and it follows that ω 6= 0 ⇒ x(1) 6= 0. Let us confirm: 1 [(α + c)ω − cV ω] + Φα x = Φα (αI − A)ω = α+c

4. A Characterization of the Resolvent The resolvent has the same ”infinitesimal generator” as the semigroup: µ ¶ c α αc ω− Vω = (ω−V ω) −→ c(I−V )ω α(ω−αVα ω)=α ω− α+c α+c α+c Moreover, this operator satisfies the following equality: A [I − αA] = (1 − cα)A where α ∈ [0, c−1 ). Conversely, these properties characterize the resolvent (Vα )α>0 : Theorem 4.1. Let (Vα )α>0 be a family of (non-linear) operators, acting on positive finite measures on (X × Y, X ⊗ Y), such that the resolvent equation holds: Vα ω = Vβ ω + (β − α)Vα Vβ ω and there exists A(ω) := lim α(ω − αVα ω) α→+∞

(for each) ω which satisfies A [I − αA] = (1 − cα)A for α ∈ [0, c−1 ). Then the resolvent (Vα )α>0 is associated with the operator V := I+c−1 A i.e. c 1 I+ V Vα = α+c α(α + c) Proof. We show that (βI − A) ◦ Vβ = 1M+ , for any β > 0. Indeed: (βI − A)(Vβ ω) = βVβ ω − A(Vβ ω) = βVβ ω − lim α(Vβ ω − αVα Vβ ω) = α→+∞ ¸ · α αβ (αVα ω) − Vβ ω = = βVβ ω − lim α→+∞ α − β α−β = βVβ ω + ω − βVβ ω = ω

Let us denote Wβ =

c 1 I+ V . Then: β+c β(β + c) Wβ ◦ (βI − A) ◦ Vβ = Vβ = Wβ . ¤

A similar characterization holds for the semigroup. Let F0 be any set of numerical, positive, measurable functions, which separates M+ . Proposition 4.1. Let (Pt )t>0 be a semigroup of (non-linear) operators, acting on positive finite measures on (X × Y, X ⊗ Y), such that for each ω there exists Pt (ω) − ω A(ω) := lim t→0 t which satisfies A [I − αA] = (1 − cα)A for α ∈ [0, c−1 ). Suppose that: Pt ◦ Ps + e−ct I = e−ct Ps + Pt Suppose moreover that each map t 7→ Pt ω(f ) is right continuous on [0, +∞), for each ω and f ∈ F0 . Then the semigroup (Pt )t>0 is associated with the operator V := I + c−1 A i.e. Pt ω = e−ct ω + (1 − e−ct )V ω. Proof. It follows that Qt := e−ct I + (1 − e−ct )V is a semigroup. Moreover, if we define, for ω and f ∈ F0 fixed q(t) := Qt ω(f ˙ ), then q is derivable on [0, +∞) and q 0 (t) = Qt Aω(f ) = AQt ω(f ) = ce−ct (V − I)ω(f ). Let now define p(t) := Pt ω(f ). From the hypothesis, we obtain that p has a right derivative at each point from [0, +∞) and p0d (t) = ce−ct (V − I)ω(f ). Since both p(t) and q(t) tend to ω(f ) for t → 0, it follows that the two functions coincide. As F0 separates M+ , it follows that Pt = Qt . ¤ Remark 4.1. Both Pt and αVα are convex combinations of I and V . Each such map N satisfies a property of the type: N (λI + (1 − λ)N ) = µI + νN with µ and ν depending on N . More precisely, let N = mI +nV ; for N = Pt , α we have m = e−ct and n = 1 − e−ct ; while for N = αVα we have m = α+c c . Now, the relation is: and n = α+c N [(λ − m)I + (1 − λ)N ] = (1 − λm)N + m(λ − 1)I

We remark that the sum of the coefficients in each member is 1−m; however, one of the coefficients may be negative. 5. About Excessive Elements The fact that a positive measure ω is invariant with respect to V , i.e. V ω = ω is obviously equivalent to the fact that it is invariant with respect to the resolvent (αVα ω = ω, ∀α > 0) or to the semigroup (Pt ω = ω, ∀t > 0). Also, the fact that a positive measure ω is excessive with respect to V , i.e. V ω ≤ ω is equivalent to the fact that it is excessive with respect to the resolvent (αVα ω ≤ ω, ∀α > 0) or to the semigroup (Pt ω ≤ ω, ∀t > 0). Indeed: e−ct ω + (1 − e−ct )V ω ≤ ω ⇐⇒ V ω ≤ ω resp. c α ω+ V ω ≤ ω ⇐⇒ V ω ≤ ω α+c α+c Proposition 5.1. A positive measure ω is invariant iff ω = µ ⊗ ν. 1 ω1 ⊗ ω2 . ω(1) Conversely, since π1 (µ ⊗ ν)=ν(1)µ, it follows that µ ⊗ ν is invariant. ¤

Proof. If ω is invariant, then ω =

Remark 5.1. Hence V (ε(x,y) ) = ε(x,y) . That means that if we try to associate with¢ V a kernel on functions, it would be the identity: V˜ f (x, y) = ¡ V (ε( x, y)) (f ) = f (x, y). In order to describe analogously the excessive measures, it seems necessary to select them from a smaller class, related to the product structure. Let us denote: M0 := {ω|ω is absolutely continuous with respect to ω1 ⊗ ω2 } Let us note some properties of this set. (i) M0 is a convex cone and µ⊗ν ∈ M0 (for any positive, finite measures µ and ν). (ii) Let ωn be an increasing sequence from M0 . If ω := supn ωn is a finite measure, then ω ∈ M0 . (iii) M0 is solid. More generally, let ω ∈ M0 and F be a positive, ω–integrable function. Then ω 0 := F.ω ∈ M0 . Indeed, we have ω10 = F1 .ω1 . If ω10 ⊗ω20 (A) = 0, then we split A into three parts, as follows: Let A1 := {x ∈ X|F1 (x)>0} and A2 := {y ∈ Y |F2 (y)>0}.

We consider separately (A1 × Y ) ∩ A; (X × A2 ) ∩ A; and the difference to A. Now it is immediate that each of these subsets are ω 0 –negligible. As a conclusion, M0 contains any X positive measure, which is dominated Fn .(µn ⊗ νn ). by a (finite) measure of the form n

Within this class, the only excessive measures are the invariant ones: Theorem 5.1. Let ω ∈ M0 . Then ω is excessive iff ω = µ ⊗ ν. Proof. Since ω ∈ M0 we can write ω = F.(ω1 ⊗ ω2 ). As ω is V –excessive, we have Vω =

1 (F1 ⊗ F2 )(ω1 ⊗ ω2 ) ω(1)

Z (where F1 (x) :=

F (x, y)ν(dy)). Y

We get:

1 (F1 ⊗ F2 ) ≤ G, ω–a.e. Let us denote ω(1) G(x, y) := F (x, y) −

1 F1 (x)F2 (y) ω(1)

Z We have G ≥ 0, ω–a.e., while

G(x, y)ω1 (dx)ω2 (dy) = 0. Hence G = 0 X×Y

ω1 ⊗ ω2 –a.e. Finally ω = (f.ω1 ) ⊗ (g.ω2 ).

¤

A similar result holds in the topological case, for another class of measures. Proposition 5.2. Let us suppose that X and Y are locally compact spaces. A positive measure ω which does not charges any set with void interior is excessive iff ω = µ ⊗ ν. 1 ω1 ⊗ ω2 ≤ ω. From Radon–Nicodym’s ω(1) theorem, it follows that there exists a measurable function 0 ≤ F ≤ ω(1), such that ω1 ⊗ ω2 = F.ω. Further, the set [F 6= 0] differs by a ω–negligible set from supp ω1 × supp ω2 , since it has void interior. Hence, F = 0 on each of the sets (X \ supp ω1 ) × Y and X × (Y \ supp ω2 ). Also, we have: ω ((X \ supp ω1 ) × Y ) = 0, ω (X × (Y \ supp ω2 )) = 0. 1 if Hence, we can write ω = G.(ω1 ⊗ ω2 ), where G(x, y) = F (x, y) F (x, y) 6= 0 and G(x, y) = 0 elsewhere. Proof.

Let ω be excessive:

1 (G1 ⊗ G2 )(µ ⊗ ν) Vω = ω(1) 1 (G1 ⊗ G2 ) ≤ G, ω–a.e. ω(1) The rest of the proof is as above.

We get:

Remark 5.2. The condition (α + c)ω − cV ω ≥ 0 shows the interest to study the ”pseudo–excessive” elements: qV ω ≤ ω, where 0 < q < 1. For example, the measures of the form F.(µ⊗ν) are excessive if F is any positive, measurable, µ ⊗ ν–integrable function satisfying F ≥ C.F1 ⊗ F2 .

INTEGRAL INCLUSIONS IN BANACH SPACES USING HENSTOCK-TYPE INTEGRALS∗ B. SATCO Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science ”Stefan cel Mare” University Universitatii 13, 720229 Suceava E-mail: [email protected] In the present paper, we consider an Hammerstein integral inclusion, where the set-valued integral involved is of Henstock-type. An existence result is obtained via M¨ onch’s fixed point theorem, imposing a condition using a measure of noncompactness, as well as some uniform integrability conditions appropriate to Henstock integral. The Henstock integral is more general than classical integrals, therefore our result extends a large number of existence results in literature, given in single- or set-valued setting. Keywords: Hammerstein integral inclusion; Henstock integral; Set-valued integral.

1. Introduction In the last two decades, one can remark an increase of interest in studying differential and integral problems under hypothesis of integrability in a weaker sense than the classical ones (by classical meaning Lebesgue integral on R, respectively Bochner and Pettis integral in the vector case). More precisely, integrals of quite oscillating functions were taken into account. Thus, on the real line, significant results were obtained using the HenstockKurzweil integral (e.g. Chew and Flordeliza1 , Federson and Bianconi2 , Federson and Táboas3 and Schwabik4 ) and then, in the general case of Banach spaces, similar problems were investigated under Henstock integrability assumptions (see Sikorska5 ) or imposing some Henstock-KurzweilPettis integrability conditions (e.g. Cichón, Kubiaczyk and Sikorska6 and Satco7 ). ∗ The

In the present work, we will consider in Banach spaces an integral that generalizes to set-valued case the Henstock vector integral. Using a characterization of Henstock integrable compact convex-valued multifunctions recently given by Di Piazza and Musial8 , we obtain an existence result for the Hammerstein integral inclusion Z 1 x(t) ∈ (H) k(t, s)F (s, x(s))ds, 0

where X is a separable Banach space, F : [0, 1] × X → P0 (X) and k : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → R. The result is obtained by applying a set-valued variant of Mönch’s fixed point theorem given by O’Regan and Precup9 . It extends the results obtained in the study of similar problems in the set-valued case by O’Regan and Precup9 under Bochner integrability assumptions and by Castaing and Valadier10 in the Pettis setting. It also generalizes the single-valued case result obtained by Federson and Bianconi2 by considering Henstock-integrable functions. 2. Notations and Preliminary Facts We begin by recalling the Henstock-Kurzweil integral, a concept that extends the classical Lebesgue integral on the real line. A gauge δ on the unit interval [0, 1] provided with the σ-algebra Σ of Lebesgue measurable sets and with the Lebesgue measure µ is a positive function; a partition of n [0, 1] (that is a finite family (Ii , ti )i=1 of nonoverlapping intervals covering [0, 1] with the tags ti ∈ Ii ) is said to be δ-fine if, for each i ∈ {1, ..., n}, Ii ⊂ ]ti − δ(ti ), ti + δ(ti )[. Definition 2.1. A function f : [0, 1] → R is called Henstock-Kurzweil R1 (shortly, HK-) integrable if there exists a real, denoted by (HK) 0 f (t)dt, satisfying that, for every ε > 0, one can for any ¯ nfind a gauge δε such that, ¯ δε Z 1 ¯X ¯ ¯ ¯ fine partition P = (Ii , ti )ni=1 of [0, 1], ¯ f (ti )µ(Ii ) − (HK) f (t)dt¯ < ε. ¯ ¯ 0 i=1

Let us remind the reader of the fact that Theorem 2.1. (Theorem 9.12 in Ref. 11) Any HK-integrable function is measurable and its primitive is continuous. The following notion was used in Ref. 11 in order to obtain convergence results:

Definition 2.2. A collection K of real HK-integrable functions is said to be uniformly HK-integrable if, for any ε > 0, there is a gauge δε such that, for any δε -fine partition (Ii , ti )ni=1 and for any f ∈ K, one has ¯ ¯ n Z 1 ¯X ¯ ¯ ¯ f (ti )µ(Ii ) − (HK) f (t)dt¯ < ε. ¯ ¯ ¯ 0 i=1

We will make intervene a result that can be proved by a straightforward adaptation of the proof of Theorem 12.21 in Ref. 11: Lemma 2.1. Let (fn )n be an uniformly HK-integrable, pointwisely bounded sequence of real functions defined on [0, 1] and g : [0, 1] → R be a function of bounded variation. Then the sequence (gfn )n is uniformly HK-integrable. For more on this integral, we refer the reader to Ref. 11. Through this paper, X is a real separable Banach space with topological dual space X ∗ , B ∗ the closed unit ball of X ∗ and P0 (X) (Pc (X), resp. Pkc (X)) stands for the family of nonempty (nonempty and convex, resp. nonempty, compact and convex) subsets of X. D denotes the Hausdorff distance on Pkc (X). Let us now recall the set-valued Henstock integral (introduced in Ref. 8): Definition 2.3. A set-valued function F : [0, 1] → Pkc (X) is said to be Henstock integrable in Pkc (X) if one can find a set I ∈ Pkc (X) such that, for every ε > 0, there is a gauge δε satisfying, for any δε -fine partition n ((ai , bi ), ti )i=1 of [0, 1], the inequality Ã n ! X D I, F (ti )(bi − ai ) < ε. i=1

We denote I by (H) [0, 1].

In the particular case when F is vector-valued, we obtain the vector Henstock integral, which is the straightforward generalization of HenstockKurzweil integral (see Ref. 12). For this vector integral, the Definition 2.2 (where the norm takes the place of modulus) gives the notion of uniformly Henstock-integrable family of functions. On the space of all Henstock-integrable X-valued functions, ° ° we can conZ b ° ° ° ° sider the Alexiewicz norm, kf kA = sup °(H) f (s)ds°. ° ° [a,b]⊂[0,1] a It was proved that

Proposition 2.1. (Proposition 1 in Ref. 8) A multifunction F : [0, 1] → Pkc (X) is Henstock-integrable if and only if each countable subset of the collection {σ (x∗ , F (·)) , x∗ ∈ B ∗ } is uniformly HK-integrable. By SΓH we denote the family of Henstock-integrable selections of Γ. The following characterization was also given (let us recall, from Ref. 8, that a set-valued function F is said to be scalarly HK-integrable if, for each x∗ ∈ X ∗ , its functional support σ(x∗ , F (·))) is HK-integrable): Theorem 2.2. (Theorem 2 in Ref. 8) Let F : [0, 1] → Pkc (X) be a scalarly HK-integrable multifunction. Then the following conditions are equivalent: i) F is Henstock-integrable in Pkc (X); ii) SFH is nonempty and for every f ∈ SFH one can find a compact convex-valued Pettis-integrable function G such that, for each t ∈ [0, 1], F (t) = f (t) + G(t); iii) every measurable selection of F is Henstock-integrable. We will make use of the Hausdorff measure of noncompactness β which is defined, for any A⊂X, by the infimum of all r > 0 such that there is a finite number of ball covering A, of radius smaller than r. For its properties we refer the reader to Ref. 14. Let us end this introductory section by recalling a set-valued version of Mönch’s fixed point theorem that will be used in the sequel. This result is obtained from Theorem 3.1 in Ref. 9, with the remark that the proof is quite similar: Theorem 2.3. Let D be a closed convex subset of a Banach space X and let G : D → Pc (D) satisfy the following conditions: i) Graph(G) is closed; ii) for some x0 ∈D, every M ⊂D such that M =conv ({x0 } ∪G(M )) is relatively compact. Then G has a fixed point in D. 3. Hammerstein Integral Inclusions Via Henstock Integral In what follows, consider the Hammerstein integral inclusion Z 1 x(t) ∈ (H) k(t, s)F (s, x(s))ds, 0

where F : [0, 1] × X → Pkc (X) and k : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → R.

In order to establish the existence of continuous solutions, we will make use of some auxiliary lemmas. It is known that, on the real line, the HK-integrability is preserved under multiplication by real functions of bounded variation (whose space is denoted by BV ). We show in the sequel that the same is true for the Henstock integral in Banach spaces: Lemma 3.1. Let F : [0, 1] → Pkc (X) be Henstock-integrable and g be a real function of bounded variation on [0, 1]. Then gF is Henstock-integrable. Proof. By Proposition 2.1, each countable subset of {σ (x∗ , F (·)) , x∗ ∈ B ∗ } is uniformly HK-integrable. Moreover, any such countable family is a pointwisely bounded sequence (since |hx∗ , F (t)i| ≤ kF (t)k, for every x∗ ∈ B ∗ ). Then we are able to apply Lemma 2.1 in order to deduce that each countable subset of the collection {σ (x∗ , g(·)F (·)) , x∗ ∈ B ∗ } is uniformly HK-integrable. Again by Proposition 2.1, it follows that gF is Henstockintegrable. ¤ In particular, this result is available in the vector case. We also obtain the following Lemma 3.2. Let F be a k · kA -bounded family of Henstock-integrable functions on [0, 1] and let k : [0, 1] × [0, 1] → R be such that: i) for every t ∈ [0, 1], k(t, ·) ∈ BV ([0, 1]); ii) the function t 7→ k(t, ·) is continuous with respect to the norm kf kBV = |f (0)| + V (f ) on BV ([0, 1]), where V (f ) denotes the total variation of f.

for every n ≥ nε and every ´ ³ t R∈ [0, 1]. 1 In other words, (H) 0 k(·, s)zf (s)ds uniformly converges to n R1 (H) 0 k(·, s)y(s)ds. At the same time, we have that Z

R1 whence y(t) = (H) 0 k(t, s)y(s)ds, for all t. Thus, Graph(Ξ) is closed. Finally, consider an arbitrary set M ⊆ K, with M = conv({x0 } ∪ Ξ(M) and prove that M is relatively compact. The equi-continuity is satisfied by Lemma 3.2. It suffices to show that, for every t ∈ [0, 1], M(t) is relatively compact, that is, β(M(t)) = 0 and then, applying Ascoli’s theorem, will follow that M is relatively compact. Using a mean result and hypothesis 1), one obtains that β(M(t)) = β (Ξ(M)(t)) ≤ M β (F ([0, t] × M([0, t]))) ≤ M cβ(M([0, t])) ≤ M cβ(M([0, 1])), whence β(M([0, 1])) ≤ M cβ(M([0, 1])). Since, by 5), M c < 1, one deduces that β(M([0, 1])) = 0, and so, for each t, β(M(t)) = 0. The assumptions of Theorem 2.3 are satisfied, therefore Ξ has a fixed point, which is a continuous solution to our integral inclusion. ¤ In the particular case k(t, s) = 0, ∀s ≥ t in [0, 1], we obtain the following Corollary 3.1. Under the assumptions of Theorem 3.1, the Volterra integral inclusion Z

has a continuous solution on [0, 1]. Remark 3.1. Our main theorem extends the existence result for Hammerstein inclusions obtained in Ref. 9 under Bochner integrability assumptions, as well as the result proved for the Volterra equations in Ref. 2 in Henstock integrability setting, under contraction assumptions, using the successive approximations method. It also generalizes R t the existence result given in Ref. 10 for the integral inclusion x(t) ∈ 0 F (s, x(s))ds in the Pettis integrability setting.

GOOD INTERMEDIATE-RANK LATTICE RULES BASED ON THE WEIGHTED STAR DISCREPANCY VASILE SINESCU and STEPHEN JOE Department of Mathematics, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand E-mail: [email protected], E-mail: [email protected] We study the problem of constructing good intermediate-rank lattice rules in the sense of having a low weighted star discrepancy. The intermediate-rank rules considered here are obtained by “copying” rank-1 lattice rules. We show that such rules can be constructed using a component-by-component technique and prove that the bound for the weighted star discrepancy achieves the optimal convergence rate. Keywords: Intermediate-rank lattice rules; Weighted star discrepancy; Component-by-component construction.

1. Introduction Integrals over the d-dimensional unit cube given by Z Id (f ) = f (x) dx [0,1]d

may be approximated by rank-1 lattice rules. These are quadrature rules defined by ¾¶ n−1 µ½ kz 1X f . (1) n n k=0

d

Here, z ∈ Z is the generating vector having all the components conveniently assumed to be relatively prime with n, while the braces around the vector indicate that we take the fractional part of each component of the vector. In general terms, the “rank” of a lattice rule represents the minimum number of generating vectors required to produce the quadrature points. For d-dimensional integrals, lattice rules may have rank up to d. Further

details on the definition and the representation of lattice rules can be found in Ref. 1 and 2. In some practical applications, the first variables are the most important. Hence, it seems natural to consider lattice rules obtained by “copying” rank-1 lattice rules. If ` ≥ 1 is an integer satisfying gcd(`, n) = 1 and r is a fixed integer taken from the set {0, 1, ..., d}, then we can define the following lattice rule: ¾¶ `−1 `−1 n−1 X X µ½ kz (m1 , ..., mr , 0, ..., 0) 1 X ... f + . (2) QN,d (f )= r ` n m =0 m =0 n ` r

For r ≥ 1, this lattice rule is a rank-r lattice rule or “intermediate-rank lattice rule”. Let’s remark that the lattice rule (2) has N = `r n distinct points and is obtained by copying the rank-1 lattice rule (1) ` times in each of the first r dimensions. It is easy to observe that when r = 0 or ` = 1, the lattice rule (2) is reduced to the rank-1 lattice rule (1). Such intermediate-rank lattice rules have been previously studied in Refs. 3,4, and 1. Here, in order to construct these intermediate-rank lattice rules, we employ the “weighted star discrepancy” as a measure of “goodness”. An unweighted star discrepancy (corresponding to an L∞ maximum error) has been previously used in Ref. 5 and in more general works such as Ref. 6 or 1, while the weighted star discrepancy has been used in Ref. 7,8, and 9. 2. Bounds for the Weighted Star Discrepancy Let’s observe first that the quadrature points of the lattice rule (2) can be rewritten as: ¾ ½ (m1 , ..., mr , 0, ..., 0) y kz + = t, n ` N where y t /N , 0 ≤ t ≤ N − 1, are in [0, 1)d . Of course, these points are a reordering of the N -points of the rank-r lattice rule defined by (2). Hence the lattice rule (2) may be rewritten as QN,d (f ) =

N −1 1 X ³ yt ´ f . N t=0 N

In order to introduce the weighted star discrepancy, let the set of quadrature points {y t /N, 0 ≤ t ≤ N −1} be denoted by PN . Then the star discrepancy of PN is defined by ∗ DN (PN ) :=

where discr(x, PN ) is the local discrepancy given by d

discr(x, PN ) :=

A([0, x), PN ) Y − xj . N j=1

Here A([0, x), PN ) represents the counting function, namely the number of points in PN which lie in [0, x) with x = (x1 , x2 , ..., xd ). The star discrepancy gives a measure of the uniformity of the distribution of the quadrature points. Let now u be an arbitrary subset of D := {1, 2, ..., d − 1, d} and denote its cardinality by |u|. For the vector x ∈ [0, 1]d , let xu denote the vector from [0, 1]|u| containing the components of x whose indices belong to u. By (xu , 1) we mean the vector from [0, 1]d whose j-th component is xj if j ∈ u and 1 if j 6∈ u. Now let us introduce a set of non-increasing positive weights {γj }∞ j=1 which describes the decreasing importance of the successive coordinates xj and set Y γu = γj . j∈u

From Zaremba’s identity (see for instance Ref. 10 or 11) and by applying Hölder’s inequality for integrals and sums, we obtain |QN,d (f ) − Id (f )|   Z X ≤ sup γ u |discr((xu ,1), PN )| sup γ −1 u u⊆D

∗ Thus we can define a weighted star discrepancy DN,γ (PN ) by X ∗ (PN ) := γ u sup |discr((xu , 1), PN )| . DN,γ u⊆D

xu ∈[0,1]|u|

From Ref. 6, we make use of Theorem 3.10 and Lemma 5.21, together with the arguments leading to Theorem 5.6, to obtain the following inequality: sup
