报告简介:

The major ingredients of classical local minimax methods (LMMs) are to characterize multiple unstable solutions of nonlinear PDEs as stable solutions of corresponding local minimization problems on submanifolds, and solve them by the steepest descent iteration with some appropriate step-size search strategies. In this talk, a new algorithm framework of the LMM, named as the normalized Wolfe-Powell-type LMM (NWP-LMM), is proposed for finding multiple unstable solutions of nonlinear elliptic partial differential equations (PDEs) with certain variational structures based on a Wolfe-Powell-type search rule and general descent directions. It provides the possibility to speed up the convergence of LMMs by choosing an appropriate descent direction. The feasibility of the NWP-LMM is justified and the global convergence of the corresponding algorithm is rigorously established under certain assumptions on general descent directions. Then, two different types of directions:  preconditioned steepest descent (PSD) directions and conjugate gradient-type (CG-type) descent directions, are analyzed and utilized to implement our NWP-LMM algorithm. Especially, the global convergence of the NWP-LMM algorithm combined with the PSD direction is also verified. Finally, extensive numerical results for several semilinear elliptic PDEs are reported to profile their multiple unstable solutions and compared to indicate the effectiveness and robustness of our algorithms. In practice, the NWP-LMM combined with the CG-type direction performs much better among its LMM companions.
