We also present a duality principle and relating sufficient optimality conditions for such a variational plate model. In a second step, we present a global existence result for a non-linear model of shells. For this model, we also develop a duality principle and concerning sufficient conditions of optimality.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-12-05T12:11:30.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "49J10", "49N15" ], "keywords": [ "global existence result", "non-linear model", "duality principle", "kirchhoff-love plate model", "relating sufficient optimality conditions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 24, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
