A primal dual formulation through a proximal approach for non-convex variational optimization
arXiv:2103.01855
Abstract
This article develops a primal dual formulation for a primal proximal approach suitable for a large class of non-convex models in the calculus of variations. The results are established through standard tools of functional analysis, convex analysis and duality theory and are applied to a Ginzburg-Landau type model. Finally, in the last two sections, we present concerning optimal conditions and another related duality principle for the model in question.
