β¦ Synopsis
The goal was to establish its relaxation (ii) The functions u take values in the space R", and 0 c RZ. For any Jacobian -5 = v u E ( W 2 ) N , the numbers D and p are In the scalar case N = 1, where D = 0 and p = 1-51, the relaxed integrand B0 is the convexification of Go. Its graph has a cone with vertex at the origin, where the nonconvex function Go dropped down to the isolated value Go(0) = 0. In the vector case N > 1, the property required of (Do is quasiconvexity-so that problem (ii) is weakly lower semicontinuous and its minimum value is actually attained.
A solution u of (ii) leads to a near-minimizer iC for (i). To construct iC we approximated u by a piecewise affine function, and then introduced oscillations in the gradient. In the scalar case, 1021 can oscillate between 0 and l,,on sets with area fraction 1p and p. In the vector case, ail may take two nonzero values,

## Abstract The eigenvalue optimization problem for a variational inequality over the convex cone is to be dealt with. The control variable appears in the operator of the unilateral problem. The existence theorem for the maximum first eigenvalue optimization problem is stated and verified. The nece
## Abstract We investigate Bayesian optimal designs for changepoint problems. We find robust optimal designs which allow for arbitrary distributions before and after the change, arbitrary prior densities on the parameters before and after the change, and any logβconcave prior density on the changep
New problem statements for the optimal design of thin-wall structural elements are considered by means of optimal control theory. The distribution of initial curvature of shallow curvilinear structural elements in a non-strain state is taken as the control function.' -3 Integral stiffness is conside
