Parametric oscillations of nonlinear flutter systems

We consider a special class of abstract nonlinear equations of hyperbolic type that contains the main boundary value problems of panel flutter theory. For these equations, we study the existence and stability of parametric oscillations bifurcating from the zero equilibrium in the case of small damping.     

On a Finite Difference Scheme for an Inverse Integro-Differential Problem Using Semigroup Theory: A Functional Analytic Approach

In this article, the problem of reconstructing an unknown memory kernel from an integral overdetermination in an abstract linear (of convolution type) evolution equation of parabolic type is considered. After illustrating some results of the existence and uniqueness of a solution for the differential problem, we study its approximation by Rothe's method. We prove a result of stability and another concerning the order of approximation of the solution in dependence of its regularity. The main tool is a maximal regularity result for solutions to abstract parabolic finite difference schemes. Two model problems to which the results are applicable are illustrated.     

Hylomorphic solitons and charged Q-balls: Existence and stability

In this paper we present a general theoretical framework from which several known results (a some new ones) on the existence and stability of solitons can be recovered.We give an abstract definition of solitary wave and soliton and we develope an abstract existence theory. This theory provides a powerful tool to study the existence of solitons for the Klein–Gordon equations as well as for gauge theories. Applying this theory, we prove the existence of a continuous family of stable charged Q-balls.     

On Rate-Type Viscoplastic Problems with Linear Boundary Conditions

In this paper we introduce the abstract concept of “linear boundary conditions” in the study of deformable bodies. We establish two existence and uniqueness results concerning respectively quasistatic and dynamic problems involving such type of boundary conditions. We also apply these existence results in the study of viscoplastic problems involving classical boundary conditions.     

Asymptotic behaviour of the three-dimensional α-Navier-Stokes model with delays

We prove the existence and exponential stability of the stationary solutions for a three-dimensional α-Navier-Stokes model with delays. Instead of working directly with the model, we establish the results for a general abstract delay model, and then we apply them to our particular situation. We use two techniques in the stability analysis: the Lyapunov and Razumikhin approaches.     

Some results on systems of quasi-variational inclusion problems and systems of generalized quasi-variational inclusion problems

In this paper, we study systems of quasi-variational inclusion problem and systems of quasi-variational disclusion problem. From the existence theorems of solution for these two types of problems, we study various types of systems of quasi-variational inclusion problems, systems of quasi-equilibrium problems, systems of quasi-KKM theorem, abstract economics and system of KKM theorem. We also show their equivalent relations. We study further existence theorems of solution for generalized quasi-variational inclusion problem. Our results are different from any existence result in the literature.     

Structural stability and robustness to bounded rationality for non-compact cases

We study the model M consisting of “general games” with noncompact action space, together with an associated abstract rationality function. We prove that M is structurally stable and robust to ϵ-equilibria for “almost all” parameters. As applications, we investigate structural stability and robustness to bounded rationality for noncooperative games, multiobjective optimizations and fixed point problems satisfying existence and some continuity conditions. Specifically, we introduce concrete rationality functions for such three kinds of problems with both payoffs and strategy sets, objective functions and domain spaces, and correspondence and domain spaces as parameters, respectively, and show the generic structural stability and robustness to bounded rationality for the corresponding model Ms.     

On the impulsive implicit Ψ-Hilfer fractional differential equations with delay

In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions and derive the Ulam-Hyers-Mittag-Leffler stability results for impulsive implicit Ψ-Hilfer fractional differential equations with time delay. It is demonstrated that the Ulam-Hyers and generalized Ulam-Hyers stability are the specific cases of Ulam-Hyers-Mittag-Leffler stability. Extended version of the Gronwall inequality, abstract Gronwall lemma, and Picard operator theory are the primary devices in our investigation. We provide an example to illustrate the obtained results.     

Lower and upper solutions for elliptic problems in nonsmooth domains

In this paper we prove some existence results of semilinear Dirichlet problems in nonsmooth domains in presence of lower and upper solutions well-ordered or not. We first prove existence results in an abstract setting using degree theory. We secondly apply them for domains with conical points.     

A system of evolution equations for non-isothermal phase transitions

We propose and study a system of evolution equations. This is an abstract formulation of problems arising in non-isothermal phase transitions. We consider time-dependent constraints on the unknown functions. Thus the problem yields a system of parabolic variational inequalities. We prove the existence of a solution in a general framework, and then apply the abstract result to some models of phase transitions.     

An optimization result for set-valued mappings and a stability property in vector problems with constraints

First, we prove an existence result relative to minimal points of set-valued mappings. Then, conditions about the upper and lower semicontinuity of constraint sets defined through set-valued mappings are given. Finally, a stability result relative to vector problems with abstract constraints is proved.The author thanks the referee for helpful comments on the first version of this paper.     

On generalized vector pre-variational and pre-quasivariational inequalities

In this paper, we consider generalized vector pre-variational inequality problems as well as vector pre-quasivariational inequality problems in abstract space setting. We establish several existence results for these two classes of problems by employing the Ky Fan lemma and a scalarization technique, respectively.     

On nonlocal solutions of semilinear equations of the Sobolev type

We prove the existence and uniqueness of a classical solution of the Cauchy problem and the Showalter problem for some semilinear equations of the Sobolev type on a given interval. The abstract results are used to study initial-boundary value problems for some systems of equations unsolvable for the time derivative.     

On abstract degenerate neutral differential equations

We introduce a new abstract model of functional differential equations, which we call abstract degenerate neutral differential equations, and we study the existence of strict solutions. The class of problems and the technical approach introduced in this paper allow us to generalize and extend recent results on abstract neutral differential equations. Some examples on nonlinear partial neutral differential equations are presented.     

On existence problems for the optimal control of certain nonlinear integral equations of Urysohn type

In Refs. 1–3, existence results have been obtained for optimal control problems whose state equations are described by certain nonlinear integral equations of Urysohn type. We generalize and synthesize these results by formulating a general lower closure result from which the results of Refs. 1–3 are shown to follow. In the course of this, we also present a novel and rather abstract treatment of existence problems for variable-time optimal control, quite in the spirit of Ref. 4.     

A minimization method and applications to the study of solitons

Roughly speaking a solitary wave is a solution of a field equation whose energy travels as a localized packet and which preserves this localization in time. A soliton is a solitary wave which exhibits some strong form of stability so that it has a particle-like behavior. In this paper, we prove a general, abstract theorem ( Theorem 26) which allows to prove the existence of a class of solitons. Such solitons are suitable minimizers of a constrained functional and they are called hylomorphic solitons. Then we apply the abstract theory to problems related to the nonlinear Schrödinger equation (NSE) and to the nonlinear Klein–Gordon equation (NKG).     

Equilibrium Problems under Generalized Convexity and Generalized Monotonicity

Generalized convex functions preserve many valuable properties of mathematical programming problems with convex functions. Generalized monotone maps allow for an extension of existence results for variational inequality problems with monotone maps. Both models are special realizations of an abstract equilibrium problem with numerous applications, especially in equilibrium analysis (e.g., Blum and Oettli, 1994). We survey existence results for equilibrium problems obtained under generalized convexity and generalized monotonicity. We consider both the scalar and the vector case. Finally existence results for a system of vector equilibrium problems under generalized convexity are surveyed which have applications to a system of vector variational inequality problems. Throughout the survey we demonstrate that the results can be obtained without the rigid assumptions of convexity and monotonicity.

Nonlocal quasivariational evolution problems

This note addresses a class of abstract quasivariational evolution equations taking into account nonlocality with respect to time. We present an existence result for suitably weak solutions to such problems, which extend previous contributions. The existence argument relies on some order technique and exploits a fixed point result for multivalued applications in ordered spaces. Moreover, we discuss the application of our results to classes of ODE and parabolic PDE problems.
