## Abstract Rate independent operators naturally arise in the mathematical analysis of hysteresis. Among rate independent operators, the locally monotone ones are those better suited for the study of PDE's with hysteresis. We prove that a rate independent operator R: __Lip__ (0, __T__) β __BV__ (0,

β¦ Synopsis
This note concerns rate independent operators R : Lip(0, T ) -β BV (0, T ) β© C(0, T ) that are continuous with respect to the strict metric of BV . In a recent paper we proved that R can be continuously extended to all of BV (0, T ) provided it is locally isotone, a slightly weaker condition than the local monotonicity well known in hysteresis. In this work we prove that local isotony is also a necessary condition, thereby giving a characterization of rate independent operators R that admit a continuous extension to BV .

In this paper, we introduce a new notion of local optimality and demonstrate its application to the problem of finding optimal independent sets and vertex covers in k-claw free graphs. The maximum independent set problem in k-claw free graphs has interesting applications in the design of electronic
