2018 Course under the SET Project

The Chair of Optimization and Control at the Institute of Computer Science and the SET Program at the Jagiellonian University kindly invite to the course of Professor Zhenhai Liu from Guangxi University for Nationalities, Nanning, China on "Partial Differential Operators and Regularization of Quasi-hemivariational Inequalities". Lecture is interdisciplinary, the subject lies on the border of mathematics, computer science and mechanics. The course is addressed to Master students, PhD students, young doctors and faculty members.

• Place and dates: the Conference Room no 1177 at the Institute of Computer Science, November 27 - December 19, 2018

• Course plan:

• Properties of elliptic partial differential operators (introduction of several kinds of abstract monotone type operators, proofs in details for the (S+)-property and pseudomonotonicity of elliptic partial differential operators)
• Properties of nonlocal p-Laplace operators (introduction of nonlocal operators, fractional spaces, proofs in details for the strong monotonicity for nonlocal operators)
• Existence of solutions for elliptic variational hemivariational inequalities. The operators involved are taken to be multivalued and noncoercive.
• Regularization of quasi-hemivariational inequalities (An ill-posed quasi-hemivariational inequality with contaminated data can be stabilized by employing the elliptic regularization. Establish the regularization theory for quasi-hemivariational inequalities with set-valued monotone maps or generalized pseudo-monotone maps. Applications to elliptic quasi-hemivariational inequalities and nonlocal quasi-hemivariational inequalities)
• Discussion on selected recent papers and current trends in the area
