A Convergence Criterion for Elliptic Variational Inequalities

We consider an elliptic variational inequality with unilateral constraints in a Hilbert space $X$ which, under appropriate assumptions on the data, has a unique solution $u$. We formulate a convergence criterion to the solution $u$, i.e., we provide necessary and sufficient conditions on a sequence $\{u_n\}\subset X$ which guarantee the convergence $u_n\to u$ in the space $X$. Then, we illustrate the use of this criterion to recover well-known convergence results and well-posedness results in the sense of Tykhonov and Levitin-Polyak. We also provide two applications of our results, in the study of a heat transfer problem and an elastic frictionless contact problem, respectively.

Asymptotic analysis of an optimal control problem for a viscous incompressible fluid with Navier slip boundary conditions

We consider an optimal control problem for the Navier-Stokes system with Navier slip boundary conditions. We denote by $α$ the friction coefficient and we analyze the asymptotic behavior of such a problem as $α\to \infty$. More precisely, we prove that if we take an optimal control for each $α$, then there exists a sequence of optimal controls converging to an optimal control of the same optimal control problem for the Navier-Stokes system with the Dirichlet boundary condition. We also show the convergence of the corresponding direct and adjoint states.
