Variational analysis provides the theoretical foundations and practical tools for constructing optimization algorithms without being restricted to smooth or convex problems. We survey the central concepts in the context of a concrete but…
The aim of this paper is to give the text of a recent introduction to nonlinear generalized functions exposed in my talk in the congress gf2011, which was asked by several participants. Three representative topics were presented: two…
We study an infinite system of ordinary differential equations that models the evolution of coagulating and fragmenting clusters, which we assume to be composed of identical units. Under very mild assumptions on the coefficients we prove…
In this paper, we consider the problem of solving a constrained system of nonlinear equations. We propose an algorithm based on a combination of the Newton and conditional gradient methods, and establish its local convergence analysis. Our…
Real-life problems are governed by equations which are nonlinear in nature. Nonlinear equations occur in modeling problems, such as minimizing costs in industries and minimizing risks in businesses. A technique which does not involve the…
We consider the nonlinear Neumann problem for fully nonlinear elliptic PDEs on a quadrant. We establish a comparison theorem for viscosity sub and supersolutions of the nonlinear Neumann problem. The crucial argument in the proof of the…
We present new criteria on the existence of fixed points that combine some monotonicity assumptions with the classical fixed point index theory. As an illustrative application, we use our theoretical results to prove the existence of…
We study the complex Ginzburg-Landau equation posed on possibly unbounded domains, including some singular and saturated nonlinear damping terms. This model interpolates between the nonlinear Schr{\"o}dinger equation and dissipative…
We start a study of various nonlinear PDEs under the effect of a modulation in time of the dispersive term. In particular in this paper we consider the modulated non-linear Schr\"odinger equation (NLS) in dimension 1 and 2 and the…
We state and prove a general summation identity. The identity is then applied to derive various summation formulas involving the generalized harmonic numbers and related quantities. Interesting results, mostly new, are obtained for both…
Cauchy's sum theorem is a prototype of what is today a basic result on the convergence of a series of functions in undergraduate analysis. We seek to interpret Cauchy's proof, and discuss the related epistemological questions involved in…
In this paper, we study infinite dimensional stochastic systems having both unbounded control and observation operators. First of all, using a semigroup approach, we give another take of the well-posedness of such systems treated in [SIAM…
We prove that several results in different areas of number theory such as the divergent series, summation of arithmetic functions, uniform distribution modulo one and summation over prime numbers which are currently considered to be…
We address the universal applicability of the discrete nonlinear Schroedinger equation. By employing an original but general top-down/bottom-up procedure based on symmetry analysis to the case of optical lattices, we derive the most widely…
We provide a Sandwich Theorem (K\"onig (1972)) for positively homogeneous functionals that satisfy additivity only on a restricted domain. Our relaxation of additivity is based on a binary relation called convex-conic symmetric preorder,…
A final-state observability result in the Banach space setting for non-autonomous observation problems is obtained that covers and extends all previously known results in this context, while providing a streamlined proof that follows the…
The literature on ranking from ordinal data is vast, and there are several ways to aggregate overall preferences from pairwise comparisons between objects. In particular, it is well known that any Nash equilibrium of the zero sum game…
We enter the details of two recent articles concerning as many chemotaxis models, one nonlinear and the other linear, and both with produced chemoattractant and saturated chemorepellent. These works, when properly analyzed, leave open room…
I begin by reviewing the arguments leading to a nonlinear generalisation of Schrodinger's equation within the context of the maximum uncertainty principle. Some exact and perturbative properties of that equation are then summarised: those…
The analysis of nonlinear wave equations has experienced a dramatic growth in the last ten years or so. The key factor in this has been the transition from linear analysis, first to the study of bilinear and multilinear wave interactions,…
