Application of the steepest descent method to solve differential inequalities

Alexander V. Fominyh, Vladimir V. Karelin, Lyudmila N. Polyakova

Abstract:
In this article we consider the problem of finding the solution of a system of differential inequalities. We reduce the original problem to the unconstrained minimization of a functional. We find the Gateaux gradient for this functional, and then obtain nucessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of a minimum. Based on these conditions we apply the steepest descent method, and present a numerical implementation of the method.
