On energy stable, maximum-principle preserving, second order BDF scheme with variable steps for the Allen-Cahn equation [PDF]
In this work, we investigate the two-step backward differentiation formula (BDF2) with nonuniform grids for the Allen-Cahn equation. We show that the nonuniform BDF2 scheme is energy stable under the time-step ratio restriction $r_k:=\tau_k/\tau_{k-1}

Polyconvex functionals and maximum principle
Let us consider continuous minimizers $ u : \bar \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^n $ of $ \mathcal{F}(v) = \int_{\Omega} [|Dv|^p \, + \, |{\rm det}\,Dv|^r] dx, $ with $ p > 1 $ and $ r > 0 $; then it is known that every ...

Maximum principle for discrete-time stochastic optimal control problem and stochastic game
This paper is first concerned with one kind of discrete-time stochastic optimal control problem with convex control domains, for which necessary condition in the form of Pontryagin's maximum principle and sufficient condition of optimality are derived ...

The maximum entropy principle for compositional data
Background Compositional systems, represented as parts of some whole, are ubiquitous. They encompass the abundances of proteins in a cell, the distribution of organisms in nature, and the stoichiometry of the most basic chemical reactions.

Pontryagin Maximum Principle for Distributed-Order Fractional Systems
We consider distributed-order non-local fractional optimal control problems with controls taking values on a closed set and prove a strong necessary optimality condition of Pontryagin type.

Maximum Principle Preserving Exponential Time Differencing Schemes for the Nonlocal Allen-Cahn Equation [PDF]
The nonlocal Allen--Cahn equation, a generalization of the classic Allen--Cahn equation by replacing the Laplacian with a parameterized nonlocal diffusion operator, satisfies the maximum principle ...
