Solvability and stability of von Karman model without rotational inertia with nonlinear forces

We investigate the nonlinear oscillations of plates described by von Karman evolution equations with mixed–hinged/simply supported nonlinear boundary conditions. The von Karman evolution system is of “hyperbolic type” with nonlinear transverse and boundary forces. We prove the existence of global solution (on given interval) constructing new variational approach to that system. We do not prove the Hadamard well-posedness, however a kind of new dependence of solutions on initial data is considered.     

Well-posedness and exponential equilibration of a volume-surface reaction–diffusion system with nonlinear boundary coupling

We consider a model system consisting of two reaction–diffusion equations, where one species diffuses in a volume while the other species diffuses on the surface which surrounds the volume. The two equations are coupled via a nonlinear reversible Robin-type boundary condition for the volume species and a matching reversible source term for the boundary species. As a consequence of the coupling, the total mass of the two species is conserved. The considered system is motivated for instance by models for asymmetric stem cell division.Firstly we prove the existence of a unique weak solution via an iterative method of converging upper and lower solutions to overcome the difficulties of the nonlinear boundary terms. Secondly, our main result shows explicit exponential convergence to equilibrium via an entropy method after deriving a suitable entropy entropy-dissipation estimate for the considered nonlinear volume-surface reaction–diffusion system.     

Blow-up of solutions for a nonlinear beam equation with fractional feedback

A nonlinear beam equation describing the transversal vibrations of a beam with boundary feedback is considered. The boundary feedback involves a fractional derivative. We discuss the asymptotic behavior of solutions. In fact, we prove that solutions blow up in finite time under certain assumptions on the nonlinearity.     

On the nonlinear dependence of the optimal boundary control on the initial and terminal conditions

We consider the optimal boundary control of string vibrations and study the case of boundary force control at one end of the string, the other end being free. We show that if the initial and terminal data are arbitrary, then the dependence of the optimal boundary control on these data may be nonlinear. Conditions under which the dependence is linear are indicated. An example is considered in which the optimal control can be found in closed form.     

Critical Exponents for Fast Diffusion Equations with Nonlinear Boundary Sources

In this paper,we study the large time behavior of solutions to a class of fast diffusion equations with nonlinear boundary sources on the exterior domain of the unit ball.We are interested in the critical global exponent q_o and the critical Fujita exponent q_c for the problem considered,and show that q_o=q_c for the multidimensional Non-Newtonian polytropic filtration equation with nonlinear boundary sources,which is quite different from the known results that q_o〈q_c for the onedimensional case;moreover,the value is different from the slow case.     

Blow-Up of the solution of the initial boundary-value problem for the generalized Boussinesq equation with nonlinear boundary condition

The initial boundary-value problem for a nonlinear equation of pseudoparabolic type with nonlinear Neumann boundary condition is considered. We prove a local theorem on the existence of solutions. Using the method of energy inequalities, we obtain sufficient conditions for the blow-up of solutions in a finite time interval and establish upper and lower bounds for the blow-up time.     

Qualitative results on the dynamics of a Berger plate with nonlinear boundary damping

The dynamics of a (nonlinear) Berger plate in the absence of rotational inertia are considered with inhomogeneous boundary conditions. In our analysis, we consider boundary damping in two scenarios: (i) free plate boundary conditions, or (ii) hinged-type boundary conditions. In either situation, the nonlinearity gives rise to complicating boundary terms. In the case of free boundary conditions we show that well-posedness of finite-energy solutions can be obtained via highly nonlinear boundary dissipation. Additionally, we show the existence of a compact global attractor for the dynamics in the presence of hinged-type boundary dissipation (assuming a geometric condition on the entire boundary (Lagnese, 1989)). To obtain the existence of the attractor we explicitly construct the absorbing set for the dynamics by employing energy methods that: (i) exploit the structure of the Berger nonlinearity, and (ii) utilize sharp trace results for the Euler–Bernoulli plate in Lasiecka and Triggiani (1993).We provide a parallel commentary (from a mathematical point of view) to the discussion of modeling with Berger versus von Karman nonlinearities: to wit, we describe the derivation of each nonlinear dynamics and a discussion of the validity of the Berger approximation. We believe this discussion to be of broad value across engineering and applied mathematics communities.     

Existence and multiplicity results for nonlinear elliptic problems with linear part at resonance the case of the simple eigenvalue

We prove existence and multiplicity theorems for nonlinear elliptic boundary value problems with noninvertible linear parts. It is considered the case in which the kernel of the linear part is unidimensional and the nonlinearity is taken either bounded or sublinear at infinity. Applications to nonlinear elasticity are given.     

Energy models where the equations are defined on different domains

We investigate a stationary energy model for semiconductor devices and respect the more realistic assumption that the continuity equations for electrons and holes have to be investigated only in a subdomain Ω₀ of the domain of definition Ω of the energy balance equation and of the Poisson equation. This nonlinear system of model equations is strongly coupled and has to be considered in heterostructures and with mixed boundary conditions. We obtain a local existence and uniqueness result for the two-dimensional stationary energy model. For this purpose we derive a W^1,p -regularity result for solutions of systems of elliptic equations with different regions of definition and use the Implicit Function Theorem.

An inverse spectral problem for integro-differential Dirac operators with general convolution kernels

ABSTRACT

An integro-differential Dirac system with a convolution kernel consisting of four independent functions is considered. We prove that the kernel is uniquely determined by specifying the spectra of two boundary value problems with one common boundary condition. The proof is based on the reduction of this nonlinear inverse problem to solving some nonlinear integral equation, which we solve globally. On this basis we also obtain a constructive procedure for solving the inverse problem along with necessary and sufficient conditions for its solvability in an appropriate class of kernels.     

A numerical study of parabolic problems with nonlinear boundary conditions

In this paper, we consider an initial‐boundary value problem for a parabolic equation with nonlinear boundary conditions. The solution to the problem can be expressed as a convolution integral of a Green's function and two unknown functions. We change the problem to a system of two nonlinear Volterra integral equations of convolution type. By using an explicit procedure on the basis of Sinc‐function properties, the resulting integral equations are replaced by a system of nonlinear algebraic equations, whose solution yields an accurate approximate solution to the parabolic problem. Some examples are considered to illustrate the ability of the proposed method. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A method of solving a nonlinear boundary value problem with a parameter for a loaded differential equation

A nonlinear loaded differential equation with a parameter on a finite interval is studied. The interval is partitioned by the load points, at which the values of the solution to the equation are set as additional parameters. A nonlinear boundary value problem for the considered equation is reduced to a nonlinear multipoint boundary value problem for the system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations with parameters. For fixed parameters, we obtain the Cauchy problems for ordinary differential equations on the subintervals. Substituting the values of the solutions to these problems into the boundary condition and continuity conditions at the partition points, we compose a system of nonlinear algebraic equations in parameters. A method of solving the boundary value problem with a parameter is proposed. The method is based on finding the solution to the system of nonlinear algebraic equations composed.     

On the blow-up of solutions of equations of hydrodynamic type under special boundary conditions

We use the nonlinear capacity method to prove the blow-up of solutions of initial-boundary value problems of hydrodynamic type in bounded domains. We present sufficient boundary conditions ensuring the blow-up of the solution of an equation that is globally solvable under the classical boundary conditions. We estimate the blow-up time of solutions under given initial conditions. Note that it is the first result concerning blow-up for one of the problems considered.

On local weak solutions to Nernst–Planck–Poisson system

We study the one-dimensional nonlinear Nernst–Planck–Poisson system of partial differential equations with the class of nonlinear boundary conditions which cover the Chang–Jaffé conditions. The system describes certain physical and biological processes, for example ionic diffusion in porous media, electrochemical and biological membranes, as well as electrons and holes transport in semiconductors. The considered boundary conditions allow the physical system to be not only closed but also open. Theorems on existence, uniqueness, and nonnegativity of local weak solutions are proved. The main tool used in the proof of the existence result is the Schauder–Tychonoff fixed point theorem.     

An Interface Problem in Solid Mechanics with a Linear Elastic and a Hyperelastic Material

The three dimensional interface problem is considered with the homogeneous Lamé system in an unbounded exterior domain and some quasistatic nonlinear elastic material behavior in a bounded interior Lipschitz domain. The nonlinear material is of the Mooney-Rivlin type of polyconvex materials. We give a weak formulation of the interface problem based on minimizing the energy, and rewrite it in terms of boundary integral operators. Then, we prove existence of solutions.

Nonlinear second-order equations with functional implicit impulses and nonlinear functional boundary conditions

In this paper we deal with nonlinear second-order boundary value problems with impulses. The impulsive functions depend implicitly on the different considered variables and the boundary value conditions are nonlinear. In both cases functional dependence on the solution is allowed. The existence results follow from the existence of a pair of well-ordered lower and upper solutions.
