A free boundary problem driven by boundary distance in the coincidence set
Amal Alphonse, Enrico Valdinoci, Marcelo Bongarti
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\ma…
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…
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…
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…
