Abstract
In this work, we investigate data-driven elasticity problems defined on a closed interval of the real line that are spatially discretized by means of the finite element method. This one-dimensional setting allows us to gain a deeper understanding of the underlying discrete-continuous quadratic optimization problems. We provide an in-depth analysis of their structural properties and prove their global solvability. Based on this analysis, we propose a new structure-specific initialization for a solution strategy relying on an alternating direction method, and we prove that it is globally optimal in certain symmetric cases. Finally and to support our formal mathematical analysis, we also provide a series of examples that show the benefits of this kind of approach and briefly illustrate the challenges when dealing with real experimental data.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Applied Mathematics and Physics (ZAMP) publishes papers of high scientific quality in Fluid Mechanics, Mechanics of Solids and Differential Equations/Applied Mathematics. A paper will be considered for publication if at least one of the following conditions is fulfilled:
The paper includes results or discussions which can be considered original and highly interesting.
The paper presents a new method.
The author reviews a problem or a class of problems with such profound insight that further research is encouraged.
The readers of ZAMP will find not only articles in their own special field but also original work in neighbouring domains. This will lead to an exchange of ideas; concepts and methods which have proven to be successful in one field may well be useful to other areas. ZAMP attempts to publish articles reasonably quickly. Longer papers are published in the section "Original Papers", shorter ones may appear under "Brief Reports" where publication is particularly rapid. The journal includes a "Book Review" section and provides information on activities (such as upcoming symposia, meetings or special courses) which are of interest to its readers.
