A free boundary problem driven by boundary distance in the coincidence set

Amal Alphonse, Marcelo Bongarti, Enrico Valdinoci

We study a free boundary problem of minimising a functional containing a non-local term rewarding depth into the zero phase: for on a bounded, open set $Ω\subset\mat…

A neural network approach to learning solutions of a class of elliptic variational inequalities

Amal Alphonse, Michael Hintermüller, Alexander Kister +2

We develop a weak adversarial approach to solving obstacle problems using neural networks. By employing (generalised) regularised gap functions and their properties we rewrite the…

A Globalized Inexact Semismooth Newton Method for Nonsmooth Fixed-point Equations involving Variational Inequalities

Amal Alphonse, Constantin Christof, Michael Hintermüller +1

We develop a semismooth Newton framework for the numerical solution of fixed-point equations that are posed in Banach spaces. The framework is motivated by applications in the fiel…

Minimal and maximal solution maps of elliptic QVIs of obstacle type: Lipschitz stability, differentiability and optimal control

Amal Alphonse, Michael Hintermüller, Carlos N. Rautenberg +1

Quasi-variational inequalities (QVIs) of obstacle type in many cases have multiple solutions that can be ordered. We study a multitude of properties of the operator mapping the sou…

Risk-averse optimal control of random elliptic variational inequalities

Amal Alphonse, Caroline Geiersbach, Michael Hintermüller +1

We consider a risk-averse optimal control problem governed by an elliptic variational inequality (VI) subject to random inputs. By deriving KKT-type optimality conditions for a pen…

On the differentiability of the minimal and maximal solution maps of elliptic quasi-variational inequalities

Amal Alphonse, Michael Hintermüller, Carlos N. Rautenberg

In this note, we prove that the minimal and maximal solution maps associated to elliptic quasi-variational inequalities of obstacle type are directionally differentiable with respe…

Optimal control and directional differentiability for elliptic quasi-variational inequalities

Amal Alphonse, Michael Hintermüller, Carlos N. Rautenberg

We focus on elliptic quasi-variational inequalities (QVIs) of obstacle type and prove a number of results on the existence of solutions, directional differentiability and optimal c…

Analysis of a quasi-variational contact problem arising in thermoelasticity

Amal Alphonse, Carlos N. Rautenberg, José Francisco Rodrigues

We formulate and study two mathematical models of a thermoforming process involving a membrane and a mould as implicit obstacle problems. In particular, the membrane-mould coupling…

Existence, iteration procedures and directional differentiability for parabolic QVIs

Amal Alphonse, Michael Hintermüller, Carlos N. Rautenberg

We study parabolic quasi-variational inequalities (QVIs) of obstacle type. Under appropriate assumptions on the obstacle mapping, we prove the existence of solutions of such QVIs b…

Stability of the solution set of quasi-variational inequalities and optimal control

Amal Alphonse, Michael Hintermüller, Carlos N. Rautenberg

For a class of quasi-variational inequalities (QVIs) of obstacle-type the stability of its solution set and associated optimal control problems are considered. These optimal contro…

Directional differentiability for elliptic quasi-variational inequalities of obstacle type

Amal Alphonse, Michael Hintermüller, Carlos N. Rautenberg

The directional differentiability of the solution map of obstacle type quasi-variational inequalities (QVIs) with respect to perturbations on the forcing term is studied. The class…
