Three positive solutions of singular nonlocal boundary value problems for systems of nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations

In this paper, we consider the existence of at least three positive solutions of singular nonlocal boundary value problems for systems of nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations. The associated Green’s function for the boundary value problems is first given. The proofs of our main results are based upon the Leggett–Williams fixed point theorem. Finally, we give an example to demonstrate our result.     

Positive homoclinic solutions of n‐th order difference equations with sign‐changing Green's function

In this paper we, consider an n‐th order nonlinear difference equation with parameter dependence. An exhaustive study of the related Green's function is done. The exact expression of the function is given. The range of parameter for which either it has constant sign or it changes sign is obtained. Some existence results for the nonlinear problem are deduced by using the classical Krasnosel'skii's fixed point theorem on cones and fixed point index theory.     

On nonlinear distributional and impulsive Cauchy problems

In this paper, existence results are derived for the unique, smallest, greatest, minimal and maximal solutions of nonlinear distributional Cauchy problems. Dependence of solutions on the data is also studied. The obtained results are applied to impulsive differential equations. Main tools are fixed point results in function spaces and recently introduced concepts of regulated and continuous primitive integrals of distributions.     

Existence of positive solutions for nonlinear three-point problems on time scales

In this paper, by using fixed point theorems in cones, we study the existence of at least one, two and three positive solutions of a nonlinear second-order three-point boundary value problem for dynamic equations on time scales. As an application, we also give some examples to demonstrate our results.     

Boundary value problems of singular multi‐term fractional differential equations with impulse effects

We study a class of boundary value problems for nonlinear impulsive fractional differential equations. A weighted function Banach space and a completely continuous nonlinear operator are constructed firstly. Some existence results for solutions of these problems are established continuously. Our analysis relies on the well known Schauder's fixed point theorem. Examples are given to illustrate the main results finally.     

On a nonlinear Hammerstein integral equation with a parameter

This paper, following theories for asymptotically linear operators, the Schaefer fixed point theorem, decomposition of operators, and critical point theory, is mainly concerned with the existence and multiplicity of solutions to a nonlinear Hammerstein integral equation with a parameter. The results show that when the nonlinearity satisfies certain conditions, different parametric intervals lead to different existence results; however, in some cases only the sign of the parameter makes a contribution to the existence of solutions for the problem. Our results can be applied to some well known boundary value problems, and some examples are given.     

Existence of Solutions for Impulsive Parabolic Partial Differential Equations

We discuss the propagation of heat along a homogeneous rod of length A under the influence of a nonlinear heat source and impulsive effects at fixed times. This problem is described by an initial-boundary value problem for a nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation subjected to impulsive effects at fixed times. Using Green's function, we convert the problem into a nonlinear integral equation. Sufficient conditions are provided that enable the application of fixed point theorems to prove existence and uniqueness of solutions.

Existence results of periodic solutions for third‐order nonlinear singular differential equation

Using Green's function for third‐order differential equation and some fixed‐point theorems, i.e., Leray‐Schauder alternative principle and Schauder's fixed point theorem, we establish three new existence results of periodic solutions for nonlinear third‐order singular differential equation, which extend and improve significantly existing results in the literature.     

Applications of Hilbert’s projective metric to a class of positive nonlinear operators

The purpose of this paper is to study the eigenvalue problems for a class of positive nonlinear operators. Using projective metric techniques and the contraction mapping principle, we establish existence, uniqueness and continuity results for positive eigensolutions of a particular type of positive nonlinear operator. In addition, we prove the existence of a unique fixed point of the operator with explicit norm-estimates. Applications to nonlinear systems of equations and to matrix equations are considered.

Existence and Numerical Solutions of Nonlinear Quadratic Integral Equations Defined on Unbounded Intervals

The first goal of this article is to discuss the existence of solutions of nonlinear quadratic integral equations. These equations are considered in the Banach space L ^p (?₊). The arguments used in the existence proofs are based on Schauder's and Darbo's fixed point theorems. In particular, to apply Schauder's fixed point theorem based method, a special care is devoted to the proof of the L ^p -compactness of the operators associated with our nonlinear quadratic integral equations. The second goal of this work is to study a numerical method for solving nonlinear Volterra integral equations of a fairly general type. Finally, we provide the reader with some examples that illustrate the different results of this work.

Homoclinic solutions for nonlinear general fourth‐order differential equations

This work provides sufficient conditions for the existence of homoclinic solutions of fourth‐order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. Using Green's functions, we formulate a new modified integral equation that is equivalent to the original nonlinear equation. In an adequate function space, the corresponding nonlinear integral operator is compact, and it is proved an existence result by Schauder's fixed point theorem.

On the existence of homoclinic solutions of a class of discrete nonlinear periodic systems

In this paper, we obtain a new sufficient condition on the existence of homoclinic solutions of a class of discrete nonlinear periodic systems by using critical point theory in combination with periodic approximations. We prove that it is also necessary in some special cases.     

Some results for fractional boundary value problem of differential inclusions

In this paper, we study fractional differential inclusions with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We prove the existence of a solution under both convexity and nonconvexity conditions on the multi-valued right-hand side. The proofs rely on nonlinear alternative Leray–Schauder type, Bressan–Colombo selection theorem and Covitz and Nadler’s fixed point theorem for multi-valued contractions. The compactness of the set solutions and relaxation results is also established. In the last section we consider the fractional boundary value problem with infinite delay.

Reduction of computational errors using nonstandard finite difference models

A previously reported bifurcation technique is applied to the construction of nonstandard finite difference representations of systems of nonlinear differential equations. This technique provides a measure of the deviation between bifurcation parameters obtained from fixed step representations of the nonlinear system and the values of the parameters determined from computational experiments. Since this deviation or ‘error’ is characteristic of a particular scheme, we have used this measure to construct low-error nonstandard representations. We present results from several nonlinear test models which show that such nonstandard schemes yield orbits that followed closely the expected dynamics and also provide a large reduction in the computational error in comparison to standard numerical integration schemes. Finally, we outline a criteria for controlling possible numerical overflow in fixed step-size schemes.
