Weak Lower Semicontinuity of a Functional with Any Order
The author extends the necessary and sufficient quasiconvexity conditions for the sequential weak lower semicontinuity of a functional of the type \[ u\in W^{k,p}(\Omega; \mathbb{R}^m)\mapsto \int_\Omega f(x,u,Du, D^2u,\dots, D^ku)dx,\tag{1} \] where \(\Omega\) is a bounded open subset of \(\mathbb{R}^n\), \(p\in ]1,+\infty]\), and \(m\geq 1\), to the ...

Existence of solutions for nonconvex functional differential inclusions
We prove the existence of solutions for the functional differential inclusion $x'in F(T(t)x)$, where $F$ is upper semi-continuous, compact-valued multifunction such that $F(T(t)x)subset partial V(x(t))$ on $[0,T]$, $V$ is a proper convex and lower ...

Lower semicontinuous solutions to Hamilton-Jacobi-Bellman equations
The value function of Mayer’s problem arising in optimal control is investigated, and lower semicontinuous solutions of the associated Hamilton–Jacobi–Bellman equation are defined in three (equivalent) ways. Under quite weak assumptions about the control

On the lower semicontinuous quasiconvex envelope for unbounded integrands (I) [PDF]
Motivated by the study of multidimensional control problems of Dieudonné-Rashevsky type, we raise the question how to understand to notion of quasiconvexity for a continuous function f with a convex body K $\subset \mathbb{R}^{nm}$ instead of the whole ...

A convex extension of lower semicontinuous functions defined on normal Hausdorff space
We prove that, any problem of minimization of proper lower semicontinuous function defined on a normal Hausdorff space, is canonically equivalent to a problem of minimization of a proper weak * lower semicontinuous convex function defined on a weak ...

Existence theorems for differential inclusions with nonconvex right hand side
In this paper we prove some new existence theorems for differential inclusions with a nonconvex right hand side, which is lower semicontinuous or continuous in the state variable, measurable in the time variable and takes values in a finite or infinite ...

Extensions of semicontinuous and quasi-continuous functions from dense subspaces
In this paper we give a sufficient condition for existence of an extension of a lower (upper) semicontinuous function 0 defined on a given dense subset of a topological space X to a lower (upper) semicontinuous function : X → ℝ.

Gateaux Differentiability of Convex Functions and Weak Dentable Set in Nonseparable Banach Spaces
In this paper, we prove that if C⁎⁎ is a ε-separable bounded subset of X⁎⁎, then every convex function g≤σC is Ga^teaux differentiable at a dense Gδ subset G of X⁎ if and only if every subset of ∂σC(0)∩X is weakly dentable.

On the Sums of Lower Semicontinuous Strong Świątkowski Functions
The purpose of this article is to give a solution to a problem raised by A. Maliszewski in \(\left[5\right]\) by showing that any lower semicontinuous function can be represented as a sum of two lower semicontinuous strong \'{S}wi\k{a}tkowski functions.
