We analyze a term penalizing surface self-penetration, as a soft constraint for models of hyperelastic materials to approximate the Ciarlet-Ne\v{c}as condition (almost everywhere global invertibility of deformations). For a linear elastic…
We prove that that for nonlinear elastic energies with strong enough energetic control of the outer distortion of admissible deformations, almost everywhere global invertibility as constraint can be obtained in the $\Gamma$-limit of the…
We present a new example for the Lavrentiev phenomenon in context of nonlinear elasticity, caused by an interplay of the elastic energy's resistance to infinite compression and the Ciarlet-Ne\v{c}as condition, a constraint preventing global…
We propose two classes of mixed finite elements for linear elasticity of any order, with interior penalty for nonconforming symmetric stress approximation. One key point of our method is to introduce some appropriate nonconforming…
We examine the penalty approximation of the free motion of a material point in an angular domain; we choose an over-damped penalty, and we prove that if the first impact point is not at the vertex, then, the limit of the approximation…
Recovering nonlinearly degraded signal in the presence of noise is a challenging problem. In this work, this problem is tackled by minimizing the sum of a non convex least-squares fit criterion and a penalty term. We assume that the…
In this work, we consider a constrained convex problem with linear inequalities and provide an inexact penalty re-formulation of the problem. The novelty is in the choice of the penalty functions, which are smooth and can induce a non-zero…
The paper extends the formulation of a 2D geometrically exact beam element proposed in our previous paper [1] to curved elastic beams. This formulation is based on equilibrium equations in their integrated form, combined with the kinematic…
We consider a general class of constrained optimization problems with an additional $\ell_0$- sparsity term in the objective function. Based on a recent reformulation of this difficult $\ell_0$-term, we consider a nonsmooth penalty approach…

We prove the convergence of adaptive discontinuous Galerkin and $C^0$-interior penalty methods for fully nonlinear second-order elliptic Hamilton--Jacobi--Bellman and Isaacs equations with Cordes coefficients. We consider a broad family of…
We study compressible and incompressible nonlinear elasticity variational problems in a general context. Our main result gives a sufficient condition for an equilibrium to be a global energy minimizer, in terms of convexity properties of…

This paper develops a convex approach for sparse one-dimensional deconvolution that improves upon L1-norm regularization, the standard convex approach. We propose a sparsity-inducing non-separable non-convex bivariate penalty function for…
Incompressible nonlinearly hyperelastic materials are rarely simulated in Finite Element numerical experiments as being perfectly incompressible because of the numerical difficulties associated with globally satisfying this constraint. Most…
