Global solutions and invariant tori of difference-differential equations

We prove the existence of an m-parameter family of global solutions of a system of difference-differential equations. For difference-differential equations on a torus, we introduce the notion of rotation number. We also consider the problem of perturbation of an invariant torus of a system of difference-differential equations and study the problem of the existence of periodic and quasiperiodic solutions of second-order difference-differential equations.     

Quasiperiodic Wave Solutions of Supersymmetric KdV Equation in Superspace

A direct and unifying scheme for explicitly constructing quasiperiodic wave solutions (multiperiodic wave solutions) of supersymmetric KdV equation in a superspace is proposed. The scheme is based on the concept of super Hirota forms and on the use of super Riemann theta functions. In contrast to ordinary KdV equation with purely bosonic field, some new phenomena on super quasiperiodic waves occur in the supersymmetric KdV equation with the fermionic field. For instance, it is shown that the supersymmetric KdV equation does not possess an N ‐periodic wave solution for N≥ 2 for arbitrary parameters. It is further observed that there is an influencing band occurred among the quasiperiodic waves under the presence of the Grassmann variable. The quasiperiodic waves are symmetric about the band but collapse along with the band. In addition, the relations between the quasiperiodic wave solutions and soliton solutions are rigorously established. It is shown that quasiperiodic wave solution convergence to the soliton solutions under certain conditions and small amplitude limit.     

High energy solutions and nontrivial solutions for fourth-order elliptic equations

In this paper, we study the existence of nontrivial solutions and infinitely many high energy solutions for a class of nonlinear fourth-order elliptic equations in RN via variational methods. Three main theorems are obtained.     

Super quasiperiodic wave solutions and asymptotic analysis for $$ \mathcal{N} = 1 $$ supersymmetric KdV-type equations

Based on a general multidimensional Riemann theta function and the super Hirota bilinear form, we extend the Hirota method to construct explicit super quasiperiodic (multiperiodic) wave solutions of $ \mathcal{N} = 1 $ \mathcal{N} = 1 supersymmetric KdV-type equations in superspace. We show that the supersymmetric KdV equation does not have an N-periodic wave solution with arbitrary parameters for N ≥ 2. In addition, an interesting influencing band occurs among the super quasiperiodic waves under the presence of a Grassmann variable. We also observe that the super quasiperiodic waves are symmetric about this band but collapse along with it. We present a limit procedure for analyzing the asymptotic properties of the super quasiperiodic waves and rigorously show that the super periodic wave solutions tend to super soliton solutions under some “small amplitude” limits.     

Quasiperiodic Perturbations of Two-Dimensional Hamiltonian Systems

Quasiperiodic nonconservative perturbations of two-dimensional Hamiltonian systems are studied. The behavior of solutions in a neighborhood of resonance and nonresonance levels is considered. Conditions for the existence of resonant quasiperiodic solutions (m-dimensional resonance tori) are found, and the global behavior of solutions in domains separated from the unperturbed separatrices is discussed. The results are illustrated by the example of the Duffing equation with the homoclinic figure eight of a saddle.     

Kolmogorov ε-entropy of attractor for a non-autonomous strongly damped wave equation

In this paper, we study the long-time behavior of solutions for a non-autonomous strongly damped wave equation. We first prove the existence of a uniform attractor for the equation with a translation compact driving force and then obtain an upper estimate for the Kolmogorov ε-entropy of the uniform attractor. Finally we obtain an upper bound of the fractal dimension of the uniform attractor with quasiperiodic force.     

Periodic Solutions of Classical Hamiltonian Systems without Palais-Smale Condition

In this paper, we study the existence of periodic solutions for classical Hamiltonian systems without the Palais-Smale condition. We prove that the information of the potential function contained in a finite domain is sufficient for the existence of periodic solutions. Moreover, we establish the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions without any symmetric condition on the potential function V.     

Infinitely many solutions of a Sturm-Liouville system with impulses

Using variational method and lower and upper solutions, we present a new approach to obtain the existence of infinitely many solutions of a second-order Sturm-Liouville system with impulse effects. As applications, we get arbitrary small sequence and unbounded sequence of nontrivial nonnegative solutions, assuming that some oscillatory behaviours of F, associated to the system, at 0 and +∞.     

Construction of usc Solutions for a Multivalued Iterative Equation of Order n

Without Lipschitz condition, only the second order polynomial-like iterative equation was discussed for monotone usc multivalued solutions under the assumption that the coefficient of the first order iterate is large. In this paper without this assumption we give a general construction of infinitely many increasing usc multivalued solutions for multivalued iterative equation of order n.     

The existence and multiplicity of solutions for an impulsive differential equation with two parameters via a variational method

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of classical solutions for a second-order impulsive differential equation with periodic boundary conditions. By using a variational method and critical point theory, we give some new criteria to guarantee that the impulsive problem has at least one solution, two solutions and infinitely many solutions when the parameter pair (c,λ) lies in different intervals, respectively. Some examples are given in this paper to illustrate the main results.     

Multiple existence of non-radial solutions with group invariance for sublinear elliptic equations

We deal with sublinear elliptic equations in a ball and prove the existence of infinitely many solutions which are not radially symmetric but G invariant. Here G is any closed subgroup of the orthogonal group and is not transitive on the unit sphere.     

Multidimensional analog of the two-dimensional perron effect of sign change of characteristic exponents for infinitely differentiable differential systems

We obtain a general n-dimensional analog of the two-dimensional (partial) Perron effect of sign change of all arbitrarily prescribed negative characteristic exponents of an n-dimensional differential system of the linear approximation with infinitely differentiable bounded coefficients to the positive sign for the characteristic exponents of all nontrivial solutions of a nonlinear n-dimensional differential system with infinitely differentiable perturbations of arbitrary order m > 1 of smallness in a neighborhood of the origin and growth outside it. These positive exponents take n values distributed over n arbitrarily prescribed disjoint intervals and are realized on solutions issuing from nested subspaces R ¹ ? R ² ? ... ? R ⁿ .     

Symmetric excited states for a mean-field model for a nucleon

In this paper, we consider a stationary model for a nucleon interacting with the ω and σ mesons in the atomic nucleus. The model is relativistic, and we study it in a nuclear physics nonrelativistic limit. By a shooting method, we prove the existence of infinitely many solutions with a given angular momentum. These solutions are ordered by the number of nodes of each component.     

Infinitely many solutions for elliptic systems with critical exponents

One class of critical growth elliptic systems of two equations is considered on a bounded domain. By using fountain theorem and concentration estimates, we establish the existence of infinitely many solutions in higher values of dimension N?7.     

Quasiperiodic solutions of degenerate linear systems of second-order ordinary differential equations

We establish sufficient conditions for the existence of quasiperiodic solutions of a system of ordinary second-order differential equations with degenerate symmetric matrix of the second derivatives for an arbitrary quasiperiodic inhomogeneity.     

High order adaptive methods of Nyström-Cowell type

A class of unconditionally stable multistep methods is discussed for solving initial-value problems of second-order differential equations which have periodic or quasiperiodic solutions. This situation frequently occurs in celestial mechanics, in nonlinear oscillations and various other situations. The methods depend upon a parameter ω > 0, and integrate exactly trigonometric functions along with algebraic polynomials. In this paper we show a procedure for the construction of adaptive Nyström-Cowell formulas of arbitrarily high order of accuracy, and reduce to the classical Nyström-Cowell methods for ω = 0. Our methods compare advantageously with other methods.     

Existence of solutions for a system of coupled nonlinear stationary bi-harmonic Schrödinger equations

We obtain existence and multiplicity results for the solutions of a class of coupled semilinear bi-harmonic Schrödinger equations. Actually, using the classical Mountain Pass Theorem and minimization techniques, we prove the existence of critical points of the associated functional constrained on the Nehari manifold.Furthermore, we show that using the so-called fibering method and the Lusternik–Schnirel’man theory there exist infinitely many solutions, actually a countable family of critical points, for such a semilinear bi-harmonic Schrödinger system under study in this work.     

Multiple solutions for quasilinear elliptic equations with a finite potential well

We consider multiplicity of solutions for a class of quasilinear problems which has received considerable attention in the past, including the so called Modified Nonlinear Schrödinger Equations. By combining a new variational approach via q-Laplacian regularization and the compactness arguments from [4] we establish infinitely many bound state solutions for the quasilinear Schrödinger type equations, extending the earlier work of [4] for semilinear equations.     

Solutions of the generalized Lennard-Jones system

In this paper, we study solution structures of the following generalized Lennard-Jones system in R~n,x=(-α/|x|~(α+2)+β/|x|~(β+2))x,with 0 α β. Considering periodic solutions with zero angular momentum, we prove that the corresponding problem degenerates to 1-dimensional and possesses infinitely many periodic solutions which must be oscillating line solutions or constant solutions. Considering solutions with non-zero angular momentum, we compute Morse indices of the circular solutions first, and then apply the mountain pass theorem to show the existence of non-circular solutions with non-zero topological degrees. We further prove that besides circular solutions the system possesses in fact countably many periodic solutions with arbitrarily large topological degree, infinitely many quasi-periodic solutions, and infinitely many asymptotic solutions.
