Canonical Duality-Triality Theory: Bridge Between Nonconvex Analysis/Mechanics and Global Optimization in Complex Systems
David Y Gao, Ning Ruan, Vittorio Latorre
Canonical duality-triality is a breakthrough methodological theory, which can be used not only for modeling complex systems within a unified framework, but also for solving a wide…
Double Well Potential Function and Its Optimization in The n-dimensional Real Space -- Part I
Shu-Cherng Fang, David Yang Gao, Gang-Xuan Lin +2
A special type of multi-variate polynomial of degree 4, called the double well potential function, is studied. When the function is bounded from below, it has a very unique propert…
Canonical Dual Approach for Contact Mechanics Problems with Friction
Vittorio Latorre, Simone Sagratella, David Yang Gao
This paper presents an application of Canonical duality theory to the solution of contact problems with Coulomb friction. The contact problem is formulated as a quasi-variational i…
