No-gap second-order conditions for optimization problems involving transport distances

Nicolas Borchard, Christian Meyer, Gerd Wachsmuth

The paper develops no-gap second-order optimality conditions for measure-space optimization problems regularized by transport distances, using weak‑star second subderivatives and a…

A trust-region method for optimal control of ODEs with continuous-or-off controls and TV regularization

Markus Friedemann, Gerd Wachsmuth

A solution algorithm for a special class of optimal control problems subject to an ordinary differential equation is proposed. The controls possess a continuous-or-off structure an…

Numerical solution of optimal control problems using quadratic transport regularization

Nicolas Borchard, Gerd Wachsmuth

We address optimal control problems on the space of measures for an objective containing a smooth functional and an optimal transport regularization. That is, the quadratic Monge-K…

Characterization of Hilbertizable spaces via convex functions

Nicolas Borchard, Gerd Wachsmuth

We show that the existence of a strongly convex function with a Lipschitz derivative on a Banach space already implies that the space is isomorphic to a Hilbert space. Similarly, i…

Subdifferentials and penalty approximations of the obstacle problem

Amal Alphonse, Gerd Wachsmuth

We consider a framework for approximating the obstacle problem through a penalty approach by nonlinear PDEs. By using tools from capacity theory, we show that derivatives of the so…

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…
