Tangential Extremal Principles for Finite and Infinite Systems of Sets, I: Basic Theory
In this paper we develop new extremal principles in variational analysis that
deal with finite and infinite systems of convex and nonconvex sets. The results
obtained, unified under the name of tangential extremal principles, combine
primal and dual approaches to the study of variational systems being in fact
first extremal principles applied to infinite systems of sets. The first part
of the paper concerns the basic theory of tangential extremal principles while
the second part presents applications to problems of semi-infinite programming
and multiobjective optimization
Tangential Extremal Principles for Finite and Infinite Systems of Sets, II: Applications to Semi-infinite and Multiobjective Optimization
This paper contains selected applications of the new tangential extremal
principles and related results developed in Part I to calculus rules for
infinite intersections of sets and optimality conditions for problems of
semi-infinite programming and multiobjective optimization with countable
constraint
New maximum principles for linear elliptic equations
We prove extensions of the estimates of Aleksandrov and Bakelman for
linear elliptic operators in Euclidean space to inhomogeneous
terms in spaces for . Our estimates depend on restrictions on the
ellipticity of the operators determined by certain subcones of the positive
cone. We also consider some applications to local pointwise and
estimates
