Mathematical programming has had important applications to broad                classes of engineering design problems which can be modeled by means of         equilibrium equations in a continuum.  The aim of this research is to           develop a conceptual connection between many diverse finite element             methods which are numerical methods used to attack problems in                  continuum physics.  The technique proposed to make this connection              belongs to that field of mathematical programming called semi-infinite          programming.  It is expected that making such a connection will yield           new computational methods for solving problems in a wide class of               engineering problems such as elasticity plasticity.
