Existence of periodic solutions to a system with functional response on time scales

This paper investigates the existence of periodic solutions of a three-species food-chain diffusive system with Beddington-DeAngelis functional responses and time delays in a two-patch environment on time scales. By using a continuation theorem based on coincidence degree theory, we obtain sufficient criteria for the existence of periodic solutions for the system. Moreover, when the time scale T is chosen as R or Z, the existence of the periodic solutions of the corresponding continuous and discrete models follows. Therefore, the method is unified to provide the existence of the desired solutions for continuous differential equations and discrete difference equations.

Periodic solutions of a discrete time nonautonomous ratio-dependent predator-prey system

With the help of differential equations with piecewise constant arguments, we first propose a discrete analogue of continuous time ratio-dependent predator-prey system, which is governed by nonautonomous difference equations, modeling the dynamics of the prey and the predator having nonoverlapping generations. Then, easily verifiable sufficient criteria are established for the existence of positive periodic solutions. The approach is based on the coincidence degree and the related continuation theorem as well as some priori estimates.

Existence of periodic solutions in predator–prey and competition dynamic systems

In this paper, we systematically explore the periodicity of some dynamic equations on time scales, which incorporate as special cases many population models (e.g., predator–prey systems and competition systems) in mathematical biology governed by differential equations and difference equations. Easily verifiable sufficient criteria are established for the existence of periodic solutions of such dynamic equations, which generalize many known results for continuous and discrete population models when the time scale is chosen as or , respectively. The main approach is based on a continuation theorem in coincidence degree theory, which has been extensively applied in studying existence problems in differential equations and difference equations but rarely applied in dynamic equations on time scales. This study shows that it is unnecessary to explore the existence of periodic solutions of continuous and discrete population models in separate ways. One can unify such studies in the sense of dynamic equations on general time scales.

Periodic solutions of non-linear discrete Volterra equations with finite memory

In this paper we discuss the existence of periodic solutions of discrete (and discretized) non-linear Volterra equations with finite memory. The literature contains a number of results on periodic solutions of non-linear Volterra integral equations with finite memory, of a type that arises in biomathematics. The “summation” equations studied here can arise as discrete models in their own right but are (as we demonstrate) of a type that arise from the discretization of such integral equations. Our main results are in two parts: (i) results for discrete equations and (ii) consequences for quadrature methods applied to integral equations. The first set of results are obtained using a variety of fixed-point theorems. The second set of results address the preservation of properties of integral equations on discretizing them. The effect of weak singularities is addressed in a final section. The detail that is presented, which is supplemented using appendices, reflects the differing prerequisites of functional analysis and numerical analysis that contribute to the outcomes.     

Stepanov ergodic perturbations for some neutral partial functional differential equations

In this work, we give sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of μ?pseudo almost periodic integral solutions for some neutral partial functional differential equations with Stepanov μ?pseudo almost periodic forcing functions. Our working tools are based on the variation of constant formula and the spectral decomposition of the phase space. To illustrate our main results, we give applications to a neutral model arising in physical systems, as well as an application to heat equations with discrete and continuous delay.

Periodic solutions of a nonautonomous periodic model of population with continuous and discrete time

In this paper, we employ the Mawhin's continuation theorem to study the existence of positive periodic solutions of the nonautonomous periodic model of population with continuous and discrete time. It is interesting that the conditions to guarantee the existence of positive periodic solutions of discrete time model are similar to those for the corresponding continuous time model.     

Time periodic and almost time periodic solutions to rotating stratified fluids subject to large forces

Consider the 3D incompressible Boussinesq equations for rotating stably stratified fluids. It is shown that this set of equations possesses a unique time periodic or almost time periodic solutions for external forces satisfying these properties, which, however, do not necessarily need to be small. An explicit bound on the size of the external force, depending on the buoyancy frequency N, is given, which then allows for the unique existence of time periodic or almost periodic solutions. In particular, the size of the external forces can be taken large with respect to the buoyancy frequency. The approach depends crucially on the dispersive effect of the rotation and the stable stratification.     

Almost automorphic solutions for some partial functional differential equations

In this work, we study the existence of almost automorphic solutions for some partial functional differential equations. We prove that the existence of a bounded solution on R⁺ implies the existence of an almost automorphic solution. Our results extend the classical known theorem by Bohr and Neugebauer on the existence of almost periodic solutions for inhomegeneous linear almost periodic differential equations. We give some applications to hyperbolic equations and Lotka-Volterra type equations used to describe the evolution of a single diffusive animal species.     

Weighted pseudo-almost periodic solutions of a class of abstract differential equations

For abstract linear functional differential equations with a weighted pseudo-almost periodic forcing term, we prove that the existence of a bounded solution on R⁺ implies the existence of a weighted pseudo-almost periodic solution. Our results extend the classical theorem due to Massera on the existence of periodic solutions for linear periodic ordinary differential equations. To illustrate the results, we consider the Lotka-Volterra model with diffusion.     

On Periodic Solutions of Second Order Linear Difference Equations

In this paper, we apply a new procedure initially developed in Refs. [H. El-Owaidy and H.Y. Mohamed. "On the periodic solutions for nth order difference equations". Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computation , (to appear); "The necessary and sufficient conditions of existence of periodic solutions of nonautonomous difference equations". Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computation , (to appear)] to simplify the use of Carvalho's method to the case of discrete difference equations, in order to find the periodic solutions of second order linear difference equations. We can also find the complex periodic solutions.     

Age-usage semi-Markov models

This paper presents a non-homogeneous age-usage semi-Markov model with a measurable state space. Several probability functions useful to assess the system’s reliability are investigated. They satisfy the same family of equations we call indexed Markov renewal equations. Sufficient conditions to assure the existence and uniqueness of their solutions are provided. The numerical analysis of these equations is executed through the construction of a process discrete in time and space, which is shown to converge to the continuous one in the Skorohod topology. An algorithm useful for solving the discretized system of equations is presented by using a matrix representation.     

One-dimensional BSDEs with finite and infinite time horizons

This paper is devoted to solving one-dimensional backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs), where the time horizon may be finite or infinite and the assumptions on the generator g are not necessary to be uniform on t. We first show the existence of the minimal solution for this kind of BSDEs with linear growth generators. Then, we establish a general comparison theorem for solutions of this kind of BSDEs with weakly monotonic and uniformly continuous generators. Finally, we give an existence and uniqueness result for solutions of this kind of BSDEs with uniformly continuous generators.     

Existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solutions of functional differential equations

In this paper we consider the existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solution for the periodic equation y′(t)=−a(t)y(t)+λh(t)f(y(t−τ(t))). By the eigenvalue problems of completely continuous operators and theory of α-concave or −α-convex operators and its eigenvalue, we establish some criteria for existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solution of above functional differential equations with parameter. In particular, the unique solution y_λ(t) of the above equation depends continuously on the parameter λ. Finally, as an application, we obtain sufficient condition for the existence of positive periodic solutions of the Nicholson blowflies model.

In this paper, we first propose a concept of weighted pseudo‐almost periodic functions on time scales and study some basic properties of weighted pseudo‐almost periodic functions on time scales. Then, we establish some results about the existence of weighted pseudo‐almost periodic solutions to linear dynamic equations on time scales. Finally, as an application of our results, we study the existence and global exponential stability of weighted pseudo‐almost periodic solutions for a class of cellular neural networks with discrete delays on time scales.
