Some solvability problems for the Boltzmann equation in the framework of the Shakhov model

We consider the nonlinear Boltzmann equation in the framework of the Shakhov model for the classical problem of gas flow in a plane layer. The problem reduces to a system of nonlinear integral equations. The nonlinearity of the studied system can be partially simplified by passing to a new argument depending on the solution of the problem itself. We prove the existence theorem for a unique solution of the linear system and the existence theorem for a positive solution of the nonlinear Urysohn equation. We determine the temperature jumps on the lower and upper walls in the linear and nonlinear cases, and it turns out that the difference between them is rather small.

Qualitative difference between solutions of stationary model Boltzmann equations in the linear and nonlinear cases

We consider problems for the nonlinear Boltzmann equation in the framework of two models: a new nonlinear model and the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model. The corresponding transformations reduce these problems to nonlinear systems of integral equations. In the framework of the new nonlinear model, we prove the existence of a positive bounded solution of the nonlinear system of integral equations and present examples of functions describing the nonlinearity in this model. The obtained form of the Boltzmann equation in the framework of the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model allows analyzing the problem and indicates a method for solving it. We show that there is a qualitative difference between the solutions in the linear and nonlinear cases: the temperature is a bounded function in the nonlinear case, while it increases linearly at infinity in the linear approximation. We establish that in the framework of the new nonlinear model, equations describing the distributions of temperature, concentration, and mean-mass velocity are mutually consistent, which cannot be asserted in the case of the Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook model.     

On bounded solutions of ordinary nonlinear differential equations of order <Emphasis Type="Italic">n</Emphasis>

To prove the existence and uniqueness (or only the existence) of a bounded solution of a weakly nonlinear differential equation of the nth order, we use both the contraction mapping principle and the Tikhonov fixed-point theorem. We obtain an important qualitative estimate for the smallness of a nonlinear perturbation preserving the basic characteristics of the behavior of a linear equation (absolute stability or exponential dichotomy) under the passage to the nonlinear equation.     

On the construction of a nonnegative solution for one class of Urysohn-type nonlinear integral equations on a semiaxis

We investigate one class of Urysohn-type nonlinear integral equations with noncompact operator. It is assumed that a Wiener–Hopf–Hankel-type linear integral operator is a local minorant for the initial Urysohn operator. We prove an alternative theorem on the existence of positive solutions and investigate the asymptotic behavior of the obtained solutions at infinity.     

Nonlinear Dynamics Equation in p-Adic String Theory

We investigate nonlinear pseudodifferential equations with infinitely many derivatives. These are equations of a new class, and they originally appeared in p-adic string theory. Their investigation is of interest in mathematical physics and its applications, in particular, in string theory and cosmology. We undertake a systematic mathematical investigation of the properties of these equations and prove the main uniqueness theorem for the solution in an algebra of generalized functions. We discuss boundary problems for bounded solutions and prove the existence theorem for spatially homogeneous solutions for odd p. For even p, we prove the absence of a continuous nonnegative solution interpolating between two vacuums and indicate the possible existence of discontinuous solutions. We also consider the multidimensional equation and discuss soliton and q-brane solutions.     

One-parameter Family of Positive Solutions for a Nonlinear Integral Equation Arising in Physical Kinetics

The paper is devoted to the question of solvability of a Urysohn type nonlinear integral equation. This equation has an application in the kinetic theory of gases and can be derived from Boltzmann model equation. We prove an existence theorem of one-parameter family of positive solutions in the space of functions possessing linear growth at infinity. Moreover, for each member of this family we find an exact asymptotic formula at infinity. We obtain two-sided estimates for solution, as well as describe an iterative method for construction of solution.We conclude the paper by giving examples of functions that describe nonlinearity and satisfy the conditions of the main theorem.     

Qualitative difference between solutions for a model of the Boltzmann equation in the linear and nonlinear cases

We consider the Boltzmann equation in the framework of a nonlinear model for problems of the gas flow in a half-space (the Kramers problem). We prove the existence of a positive bounded solution and find the limit of this solution at infinity. We show that taking the nonlinear dependence of the collision integral on the distribution function into account leads to an asymptotically new solution of the initial equation. To illustrate the result, we present examples of functions describing the nonlinearity of the collision integral.

On a quadratic fractional Hammerstein-Volterra integral equation with linear modification of the argument

We study the existence of monotonic solutions of a quadratic fractional Hammerstein-Volterra integral equation with linear modification of the argument. The quadratic integral equation studied below contains as a special case numerous integral equations encountered in the theory of radiative transfer and in the kinetic theory of gases. We show that the quadratic fractional Hammerstein-Volterra integral equation with linear modification of the argument has a monotonic solution in the Banach space of all real functions defined and continuous on a bounded and closed interval. The concept of measure of noncompactness and a fixed point theorem due to Darbo are the main tools in carrying out our proof.     

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.

Applications of Measure of Noncompactness and Darbo’s Fixed Point Theorem to Nonlinear Integral Equations in Banach Spaces

We prove a theorem on the existence of solutions of some nonlinear functional integral equations in the Banach algebra of continuous functions on the interval [0,a]. Then we consider a nonlinear integral equation of fractional order and give some sufficient conditions for existence of solutions of this equation. We use fixed point theorems associated with the measure of noncompactness as the main tool. Our existence results include several results obtained in previous studies. Finally we present some examples which show that our results are applicable.     

Monotonic positive solution of a nonlinear quadratic functional integral equation

The existence of positive monotonic solutions, in the class of continuous functions, for some nonlinear quadratic integral equation have been studied in [4], [5], [6], [7] and [8]. Here we are concerning with a nonlinear quadratic integral equation of Volterra type and we shall prove the existence of at least one L₁-positive monotonic solution for that equation under Carathèodory condition.     

Existence,uniqueness and stability of solutions for a class of nonlinear integral equations under generalized Lipschitz condition

In this paper, we prove the existence, uniqueness and the stability of solutions for some nonlinear functional-integral equations by using generalized Lipschitz condition. We prove a fixed point theorem to obtain the mentioned aims in Banach space X:= C([a, b],R). As application we study some Volterra integral equations with linear, nonlinear and singular kernel.     

Existence of weak positive solutions to a nonlinear PDE system around a triple phase boundary, coupling domain and boundary variables

We consider a 2D nonlinear system of PDEs representing a simplified model of processes near a triple-phase boundary (TPB) in cathode catalyst layer of hydrogen fuel cells. The particularity of this system is the coupling of a variable satisfying a PDE in the interior of the domain with another variable satisfying a differential equation (DE) defined only on the boundary, through an adsorption-desorption equilibrium mechanism. The system includes also an isolated singular boundary condition which models the flux continuity at the contact of the TPB with a subdomain. By freezing certain terms we transform the nonlinear PDE system to an equation, which has a variational formulation. We prove several L^∞ and W1,p a priori estimates and then by using Schauder fixed point theorem we prove the existence of a weak positive bounded solution.     

Existence and comparison theorems for partial differential equations of Riccati type

In this paper, we discuss the partial differential equation of Riccati type that describes the optimal filtering error covariance function for a linear distributed-parameter system with pointwise observations. Since this equation contains the Dirac delta function, it is impossible to apply directly the usual methods of functional analysis to prove existence and uniqueness of a bounded solution. By using properties of the fundamental solution and the classical technique of successive approximation, we prove the existence and uniqueness theorem. We then prove the comparison theorem for partial differential equations of Riccati type. Finally, we consider some applications of these theorems to the distributed-parameter optimal sensor location problem.     

Separation dichotomy and wavefronts for a nonlinear convolution equation

This paper is concerned with a scalar nonlinear convolution equation, which appears naturally in the theory of traveling waves for monostable evolution models. First, we prove that, at each end of the real line, every bounded positive solution of the convolution equation should either be separated from zero or be exponentially converging to zero. This dichotomy principle is then used to establish a general theorem guaranteeing the uniform persistence and existence of semi-wavefront solutions to the convolution equation. Finally, we apply our theoretical results to several well-studied classes of evolution equations with asymmetric non-local and non-monotone response. We show that, contrary to the symmetric case, these equations can possess simultaneously stationary, expansion and extinction waves.
