Δv = − f , inΩ
In this paper, we will use the Poincar´e inequality to study the extended Kantorovichmethod, see [6] This method has been used extensively in many engineering problems,for example, readers can consult papers [4,7,8,11,12], and the references therein Let usstart with a model problem, see [8] For a clamped rectangular boxΩ= n
whereΦ is the lateral deflection which satisfies the boundary conditions, η is the flexural
rigidity of the box, and
Trang 3It is known that (1.9) and (1.11) are called the Galerkin equations of the extended torovich method Now we may first choose
Continue this process until we obtainΦ1···1(x)= f11(x1)f21(x2)··· f n1( x n) and
there-fore completes the first cycle Next, we use f21(x2)··· f n1( x n) as our priori data and find
f12(x1) We continue this process and expect to find a sequence of “approximate tions.” The problem reduces to investigate the convergence of this sequence Therefore, it
solu-is crucial to analyze (1.15) Moreover, from numerical point of view, we know that thissequence converges rapidly (see [1,2]) Hence, it is necessary to give a rigorous mathe-matical proof of this method

Denote
I[φ] =
Ω
Trang 4ForΩ⊂ R2, we define the Lagrangian functionL associated to I[φ] as follows:
L :Ω× R × R2× R4−→ R,(x, y; z; X, Y ; U, V , S, W) (U + V )2−2ᏼ(x, y)z, (2.3)whereᏼ(x, y) is a fixed function on Ω which shows up in the integrand of I[φ] With the
above definitions, we have
L
x, y; φ; ∇ φ; D2φ
= | Δφ |2−2ᏼ(x, y)φ(x, y), (2.4)where we have identified
Trang 5This implies that
L
x, y; φ;∇ φ; D2φ≥ L(x, y; φ;∇ φ; D2φ
+ 2Δφ[ ∇ φ − ∇ φ] (2.12)Therefore,
|Δφ|2−2ᏼ(x, y)φ≥ | Δφ |2−2ᏼ(x, y)φ + 2 Δφ[Δ φ− Δφ]. (2.13)
Lemma 2.1 Suppose either
(1)φ ∈ H2(Ω)∩ C4(Ω) and η∈ C1
c(Ω); or(2)φ ∈ H2(Ω)∩ C3( ¯Ω)∩ C4(Ω) and η ∈ H2(Ω).
Let δI[φ; η] denote the first variation of I at φ in the direction η, that is,
η ∈ H2(Ω), the boundary term vanishes, which proves the lemma
Lemma 2.2 Let φ ∈ H2(Ω) Then
φ H2 ( Ω)≈ Δφ L2 ( Ω). (2.19)
Proof The function φ ∈ H2(Ω) implies that there exists a sequence{ φ k } ⊂ C ∞ c (Ω) suchthat limk→∞φ k = φ in H2-norm From a well-known result for the Calder ´on-Zygmundoperator (see, Stein [10, page 77]), one has
Trang 6for all f ∈ C2
c(Rn) and 1< p < ∞ HereC is a constant that depends on n only Applying
this result to eachφ k, we obtain
Lemma 2.3 Let { φ k } be a bounded sequence in H2(Ω) Then there exist φ∈ H2(Ω) and a
subsequence { φ k j } such that
I[φ] ≤lim infI
Proof By a weak compactness theorem for reflexive Banach spaces, and hence for Hilbert
spaces, there exist a subsequence{ φ k j }of{ φ k }andφ in H2(Ω) such that φkj → φ weakly
inH2(Ω) Since
H2(Ω)⊂ H1(Ω)⊂⊂ L2(Ω), (2.25)
by the Sobolev embedding theorem, we have
after passing to yet another subsequence if necessary
Now fix (x, y, φ k j(x, y)) ∈ R2× Rand apply inequality (2.13), we have
Δφk

−2ᏼ(x, y)φk j(x, y) ≥ | Δφ |2−2ᏼ(x, y)φk j(x, y) + 2 ΔφΔφk j − Δφ (2.27)This implies that
| Δφ |2−2ᏼ(x, y)φ dx d y = I[φ]. (2.29)
Trang 7Besidesφ k j → φ weakly in H2(Ω) implies that
It follows that when taking limit
I[φ] ≤lim inf
j I
Remark 2.4 The above proof uses the convexity of L(x, y; z; X, Y ; U, V , S, W) when (x, y; z) is fixed We already remarked at the beginning of this section that when (x, y) is fixed, L(x, y; z; X, Y ; U, V , S, W) is convex in the remaining variables, including the z-variable.
That is, we are not required to utilize the full strength of the convexity ofL here.
3 The extended Kantorovich method
Now, we shift our focus to the extended Kantorovich method for finding an approximatesolution to the minimization problem
min
when Ω=[− a, a] ×[− b, b] is a rectangular region in R 2 In the sequel, we will write
φ(x, y) (resp., φ k( x, y)) as f (x)g(y) (resp., f k( x)g k(y)) interchangeably as notated in Kerr
and Alexander [8] More specifically, we will study the extended Kantorovich method forthe casen =2, which has been used extensively in the analysis of stress on rectangularplates Equivalently, we will seek for an approximate solution of the above minimizationproblem in the formφ(x, y) = f (x)g(y) where f ∈ H2([− a, a]) and g ∈ H2([− b, b]).
To phrase this differently, we will search for an approximate solution in the tensorproduct Hilbert spacesH2([− a, a]) ⊗$H2([− b, b]), and all sequences { φ k },{ φ k j }involvedhereinafter reside in this Hilbert space Without loss of generality, we may assume that
Ω=[−1, 1]×[−1, 1] for all subsequent results remain valid for the general case where
Ω=[− a, a] ×[− b, b] by approximate scalings/normalizing of the x and y variables As in
[8], we will treat the special caseᏼ(x, y) = γ, that is, we assume that the load ᏼ(x, y) is
distributed equally on a given rectangular plate
To start the extended Kantorovich scheme, we first choose g0(y) ∈ H2([−1, 1])∩
C ∞ c (−1, 1), and find the minimizerf1(x) ∈ H2([−1, 1]) of the functional:
I
f g0 =
Ω
Trang 8where the last equality was obtained via the integration by parts of f f andg0g0 Since
g0has been chosen a priori; we can rewrite the functionalI as
for some positive constantsα and β, independent of g0 Consequently,K(x; z; V ; W) is a
strictly convex function in variablez, V , W when x is fixed In other words, K satisfies K(x; z;V ; W) − K(x; z; V ; W)
Trang 9for all (x; z; V ; W) and (x; z + z ;V + V ;W + W )∈ R4, with equality at (x; z; V ; W) only
η (x) d dx
η2(x)
Ifη (x) ≡0, thenη (x) =constant which implies thatη (x) ≡0 (since η ∈ C ∞ c (α, β)).
This tells us thatη ≡constant and conclude thatη ≡0 on the interval (α, β).
Ifη (x) ≡0, setU = { x ∈(α, β) : η (x) =0} ThenU is a non-empty open set which
implies that there existx0∈ U and some open setᏻx0ofx0contained inU Then η (ξ) =
0 for allξ ∈ᏻx0⊂ U Thus

Trang 10Corollary 3.2 Let J[ f ] be as in ( 3.4 ) Then f1∈ H2([− 1, 1]) is the unique minimizer for J[ f ] if and only if f1solves the following ODE:
Proof Suppose f1 is the unique minimizer Then f1 is a local extremum ofJ[ f ] This
implies thatδJ[ f , η] =0 for allη ∈ H2([−1, 1]) Using the notations in (3.4), we have
H2-norm), implies that
Reversing the roles of f and g, that is, fixing f0and findingg1∈ H2to minimizeI[ f0g]
overg ∈ H2([−1, 1]), we obtain the same conclusion by using the same arguments
Corollary 3.3 Fix f0∈ H2([− 1, 1]) Then g1∈ H2([− 1, 1]) is the unique minimizer for
Trang 11if and only if g1solves the Euler-Lagrange equation
Remark 3.4 In general when g ∈ H2, that is,g needs not satisfy the zero boundary
con-ditions for function inH2, then the quantity
and equality holds if and only if g ≡ 0.
Proof Integration by parts yields
(i)| g(x) | = λ | Δg(x) |almost everywhere for someλ > 0,
Trang 12So,g must satisfy the following PDE:
Δg −1
whereg ∈ H2(Ω) But the only solution to this PDE is g≡0 (see, Evans [3, pages 300–
Remark 3.6 If n =1, one can solveg − λ −1g =0 directly without having to appeal to thetheory of elliptic PDEs
Proposition 3.7 The solutions of ( 3.18 ) and ( 3.24 ) have the same form.
Proof Using eitherLemma 3.5in casen =1 to the above remark, we see that
As observed inRemark 3.4and proved inProposition 3.7, the positivity requirement isnot sufficient The fact that f0,g0∈ H2must be used to conclude this assumption
4 Explicit solution for ( 3.26 )
We now find the explicit solution for (3.26), and hence for (3.18) Let
Thus the homogeneous solution of (3.26) is
f h( x) = c1cosh(ρx) cos(κx) + c2sinh(ρx) cos(κx)
+c cosh(ρx) sin(κx) + c sinh(ρx) sin(κx). (4.3)
Trang 13It follows that a particular solution of (3.26) is
Thus the solution of (3.18) is
f (x) = c1cosh(ρx) cos(κx) + c2sinh(ρx) cos(κx)
+c3cosh(ρx) sin(κx) + c4sinh(ρx) sin(κx) + c p, (4.5)
wherec p =2 & 1
−1g0(y)d y/ g0 2
L2is a known constant This implies that
f (x) = ρc1sinh(ρx) cos(κx) − κc1cosh(ρx) sin(κx)
+ρc2cosh(ρx) cos(κx) − κc2sinh(ρx) sin(κx)
+ρc3sinh(ρx) sin(κx) + κc3cosh(ρx) cos(κx)
+ρc4cosh(ρx) sin(κx) + κc4sinh(ρx) cos(κx).
(4.6)
Apply the boundary conditions f (1) = f ( −1)= f (1)= f (−1)=0, we get
c1cosh(ρ) cos(κ) + c2sinh(ρ) cos(κ) + c3cosh(ρ) sin(κ) + c4sinh(ρ) sin(κ) = − c p,
c1cosh(ρ) cos(κ) − c2sinh(ρ) cos(κ) − c3cosh(ρ) sin(κ) + c4sinh(ρ) sin(κ) = − c p,
ρ sinh(ρ) sin(κ) + κ cosh(ρ) cos(κ) +c4
ρ cosh(ρ) sin(κ) + κ sinh(ρ) cos(κ) =0,
c1
− ρ sinh(ρ) cos(κ) + κ cosh(ρ) sin(κ) +c2
ρ cosh(ρ) cos(κ) − κ sinh(ρ) sin(κ)
c1cosh(ρ) cos(κ) + c4sinh(ρ) sin(κ) = − c p, (4.8)
c2sinh(ρ) cos(κ) + c3cosh(ρ) sin(κ) =0, (4.9)
ρ cosh(ρ) sin(κ) + κ sinh(ρ) cos(κ) =0. (4.11)
We know, beforehand, that there must be a unique solution Thus (4.9) and (4.23) force
Trang 14c2= c3=0 We are left to solve forc1andc4from (4.8) and (4.11) But (4.11) tells us that
c1= − c4
ρ cosh(ρ) sin(κ) + κ sinh(ρ) cos(κ)
ρ sinh(ρ) cos(κ) − κ cosh(ρ) sin(κ) . (4.12)
Substituting (4.12) into (4.8), we have
c4= c p
ρ sinh(ρ) cos(κ) − κ cosh(ρ) sin(κ)
ρ sin(κ) cos(κ) + κ sinh(ρ) cosh(ρ) . (4.13)
Plugging (4.13) into (4.12), we have
c1= − c p ρ cosh(ρ) sin(κ) + κ sinh(ρ) cos(κ)
ρ sin(κ) cos(κ) + κ sinh(ρ) cosh(ρ) . (4.14)
Therefore, the solution f1(x) can be written in the form
f1(x) = c p
"K1
K0= ρ sin(κ) cos(κ) + κ sinh(ρ) cosh(ρ),
K1= − ρ cosh(ρ) sin(κ) − κ sinh(ρ) cos(κ),
K2= ρ sinh(ρ) cos(κ) − κ cosh(ρ) sin(κ).
(4.16)
The next step in the extended Kantorovich method is to fix f1(x) just found above and
solve forg1(y) ∈ H2([−1, 1]) from (3.24).Lemma 2.2and the computation above showthat

Trang 165 Convergence of the solutions
In order to discuss the convergence of the extended Kantorovich method, let us start withthe following auxiliary lemma
Lemma 5.1 Let φ n( x, y) = f n( x)g n( y) and ψ n( x, y) = f n+1( x)g n( y) Then these two sequences are bounded in H2(Ω).
Proof We will verify the boundedness of { ψ n }for the arguments which is identical forthe sequence{ φ n } Fix an integern ∈Z+and assume thatg nhas been determined fromthe extended Kantorovich scheme whenn ≥1 org nhas been chosen a priori whenn =0
Trang 17Then f n+1is determined by minimizing
ByCorollary 3.2, if f n+1 is as in (4.19), then f n+1is the unique minimum forJ[ f ] over
H2(Ω) Thus we must have
Now we are in a position to prove the main theorem of this section
Theorem 5.2 There exist subsequences { φ n j } j and { ψ n j } j of { φ n } and { ψ n } which converge
in L2(Ω) to some functions φ,ψ ∈ H2(Ω) Furthermore if
Therefore, the above limits are zero if and only if g0∈ ᐆ.
Proof FromLemma 5.1,{ φ n }and{ ψ n }are bounded inH2(Ω) As a consequence of aweak compactness theorem, there are subsequences{ φ n j }and{ ψ n j }and functionsφ and
Trang 18From (4.19), we see thatg0∈ ᐆ if and only if f1≡0 Hence ifg0∈ᐆ, the iteration process
of the extended Kantorovich method stops and we haveψ1(x, y) = f1(x)g0(y) ≡0 Nowsupposeg0∈ ᐆ, that is, f1≡0 As in the proof ofLemma 5.1,Corollary 3.2implies that
I[ψ] ≤lim inf
j I
ψ n j :=lim inf
j I
f n j+1g n j (5.11)
In view of (5.10), we must haveJ[ψ] < 0, which implies lim j ψ n j L2= ψ L2> 0;
oth-erwise, we would have ψ L2=0 which implies thatJ[ψ] =0 Similarly, limj φ n j L2=
φ L2> 0 Since ψ n j → ψ and φ n j → φ in L2, we also haveψ n j → ψ and φ n j → φ in L1 Thus
Corollary 5.3 Let g0∈ ᐆ and set
Trang 19Combining with the Poincar´e inequality, it follows that
Corollary 5.4 If g0∈ ᐆ, then there exists a subsequence { f n j g n j } j that converges wisely to a function of the form
Proof Let us observe the expression of φ n( x, y) = f n( x)g n( y) in (4.23) Applying
Corollary 5.3to the constants on the right-hand side of (4.23), we can find convergentsubsequences:
hence Theorem 5.2 and Corollary 5.3 guarantee the convergence of the subsequence
{ c n−1cn−j } Altogether, after replacing all sequences on the right-hand side of (4.23) with
Trang 20either convergent subsequences, we get
these sequences have convergent subsequences Hence whenx, y are fixed, we conclude
that all derivatives of f n j g n j at (x, y) will converge to that of Θ(x, y) as k → ∞ The proof
Remark 5.5. Corollary 5.4implies that
