Multiple periodic solutions of a superlinear forced wave equation

We study the existence of forced vibrations of nonlinear wave equation: (*) $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {u_{tt} - u_{xx} + g(u) = f(x,t),} & {(x,t) \in (0,\pi ) \times R,} \\ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {u(0,t) = u(\pi ,t) = 0,} \\ {u(x,t + 2\pi ) = u(x,t),} \\ \end{array} } & {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {t \in R,} \\ {(x,t) \in (0,\pi ) \times R,} \\ \end{array} } \\ \end{array}$$ whereg(ξ)∈C(R,R)is a function with superlinear growth and f(x, t) is a function which is 2π-periodic in t. Under the suitable growth condition on g(ξ), we prove the existence of infinitely many solution of (*) for any given f(x, t).     

Existence and iteration of positive solution for a three-point boundary value problem with ap-Laplacian operator

In the paper, we obtain the existence of positive solutions and establish a corresponding iterative scheme for BVPs $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} (\phi _p (u\prime ))\prime + q(t)f(t, u) = 0,0< t< 1, \hfill \\ u(0) - B(u\prime (\eta )) = 0, u\prime (1) = 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ and $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} (\phi _p (u\prime ))\prime + q(t)f(t, u) = 0,0< t< 1, \hfill \\ u\prime (0) = 0, u(1) + B(u\prime (\eta )) = 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ The main tool is the monotone iterative technique. Here, the coefficientq(t) may be singular att = 0,1.     

Asymptotic analysis of a singular Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem

Asymptotic expansions are given for the eigenvalues λ_n and eigenfunctions u_n of the following singular Sturm-Liouville problem with indefinite weight: $$\begin{gathered} - ((1 - x^2 )u'(x))' = \lambda xu(x) on ( - 1,1), \hfill \\ lim_{| x | \to 1} u(x) finite \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ This eigenvalue problem arises if one separates variables in a partial differential equation which describes electron scattering in a one-dimensional slab configuration. Asymptotic expansions of the normalization constants of the eigenfunctions are also given. The constants in these asymptotic expansions involve complete elliptic integrals. The asymptotic results are compared with the results of numerical calculations.     

Ground state periodic solutions of second order Hamiltonian systems without spectrum 0

In this paper, we consider the second order Hamiltonian system $\left\{ \begin{gathered} u''(t) + A(t)u(t) + \nabla H(t,u(t)) = 0,t \in R, \hfill \\ u(0) = u(T),u'(0) = u'(T),T > 0. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$ Here, we assume 0 lies in a gap of σ(B) (the spectrum of B:= ?d ²/dt ² ?A(t)). We find nontrivial and ground state T-periodic solutions for the second order Hamiltonian system under conditions weaker than those previously assumed; also, our proof is much more direct.

Remarks on eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a special elliptic system

LetΛ ₁(Ω) be the first eigenvalue of the vector-valued problem $$\begin{gathered} \Delta u + \alpha grad div u + \Delta u = 0 in \Omega , \hfill \\ u = 0 in \partial \Omega , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ , withα>0. Letλ ₁(Ω) be the first eigenvalue of the scalar problem $$\begin{gathered} \Delta u + \lambda u = 0 in \Omega , \hfill \\ u = 0 on \partial \Omega . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . The paper contains a proof of the inequality $$\left( {1 + \frac{\alpha }{n}} \right)\lambda _1 \left( \Omega \right) > \Lambda _1 \left( \Omega \right) > \left( \Omega \right)$$ and improves recent estimates of Sprössig [15] and Levine and Protter [11]. Moreover we show, ifΩ is a ball, that an eigensolution u₁, associated withΛ ₁(Ω) is not unique and that the eigensolutions for this and higher eigenvalues are never rotationally invariant. Finally we calculate some eigensolutions explicitly.     

The formula for the number of order-preserving selfmappings of a fence

LetY be a fence of sizem andr=?m?1/2?. The numberb(m) of order-preserving selfmappings ofY is equal toA _r-B_r-C_r-D_r, where, ifm is odd, $$\begin{gathered} A_r = 2(r + 1)\sum\limits_{s = 0}^r {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s} \\ {2s} \\ \end{array} } \right)} 4^s , B_r = 2r\sum\limits_{s = 1}^r {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ {s - 1} \\ \end{array} } \right),} \hfill \\ C_r = 4r\sum\limits_{s = 0}^{r - 1} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right), D_r = \sum\limits_{s = 0}^{r - 1} {(2s + 1)} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r + s - 1} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {r - 1} \\ s \\ \end{array} } \right)} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . Ifm is even, a similar formula forb(m) is true. The key trick in the proof is a one-to-one correspondence between order-preserving selfmappings ofY and pairs consisted of a partition ofY and a strictly increasing mapping of a subfence ofY toY.     

The number of strictly increasing mappings of fences

Let X and Y be fences of size n and m, respectively and n, m be either both even or both odd integers (i.e., |m-n| is an even integer). Let \(r = \left\lfloor {{{(n - 1)} \mathord{\left/ {\vphantom {{(n - 1)} 2}} \right. \kern-0em} 2}} \right\rfloor\) . If 1<n<-m then there are \(a_{n,m} = (m + 1)2^{n - 2} - 2(n - 1)(\begin{array}{*{20}c} {n - 2} \\ r \\ \end{array} )\) of strictly increasing mappings of X to Y. If 1<-m<-n<-2m and s=1/2(n?m) then there are a _n,m+b _n,m+c _n of such mappings, where $$\begin{gathered} b_{n,m} = 8\sum\limits_{i = 0}^{s - 2} {\left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {m + 2i + 1} \\ l \\ \end{array} } \right)4^{s - 2 - 1} } \hfill \\ {\text{ }}c_n = \left\{ \begin{gathered} \left( {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {n - 1} \\ {s - 1} \\ \end{array} } \right){\text{ if both }}n,m{\text{ are even;}} \hfill \\ {\text{ 0 if both }}n,m{\text{ are odd}}{\text{.}} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right. \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$

Existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions for the ordinary p-Laplacian systems

Some existence and multiplicity results are obtained for periodic solutions of the ordinary p-Laplacian systems: $$\left\{\begin{array}{@{}l@{\quad{}}l}(|u'(t)|^{p-2}u'(t))'=\nabla F(t,u(t)),&\mbox{a.e. }t\in[0,T],\\[4pt]u(0)-u(T)=u'(0)-u'(T)=0\end{array}\right.$$ by using the Saddle Point Theorem, the least action principle and the Three-critical-point Theorem.     

Bang-bang property for Bolza problems in two dimensions

Consider the following Bolza problem: $$\begin{gathered} \min \int {h(x,u) dt,} \hfill \\ \dot x = F(x) + uG(x), \hfill \\ \left| u \right| \leqslant 1, x \in \Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2 , \hfill \\ x(0) = x_0 , x(1) = x_1 . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ We show that, under suitable assumptions onF, G, h, all optimal trajectories are bang-bang. The proof relies on a geometrical approach that works for every smooth two-dimensional manifold. As a corollary, we obtain existence results for nonconvex optimization problems.     

Difference schemes for one class of variational inequalities and fourth-order mixed boundary-value problem

A difference scheme is constructed for the solution of the variational equation $$\begin{gathered} a\left( {u, v} \right)---u \geqslant \left( {f, v---u} \right)\forall v \varepsilon K,K \{ vv \varepsilon W_2^2 \left( \Omega \right) \cap \mathop {W_2^1 \left( \Omega \right)}\limits^0 ,\frac{{\partial v}}{{\partial u}} \geqslant 0 a.e. on \Gamma \} ; \hfill \\ \Omega = \{ x = (x_1 ,x_2 ):0 \leqslant x_\alpha< l_\alpha ,\alpha = 1, 2\} \Gamma = \bar \Omega - \Omega ,a(u, v) = \hfill \\ = \int\limits_\Omega {\Delta u\Delta } vdx \equiv (\Delta u,\Delta v, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ The following bound is obtained for this scheme: $$\left\| {y - u} \right\|_{W_2 \left( \omega \right)}^2 = 0(h^{(2k - 5)/4} )u \in W_2^k \left( \Omega \right),\left\| {y - u} \right\|_{W_2^2 \left( \omega \right)} = 0(h^{\min (k - 2;1,5)/2} ),u \in W_\infty ^k \left( \Omega \right) \cap W_2^3 \left( \Omega \right)$$ The following bounds are obtained for the mixed boundary-value problem: $$\begin{gathered} \left\| {y - u} \right\|_{W_2^2 \left( \omega \right)} = 0\left( {h^{\min \left( {k - 2;1,5} \right)} } \right),u \in W_\infty ^k \left( \Omega \right),\left\| {y - u} \right\|_{W_2^2 \left( \omega \right)} = 0\left( {h^{k - 2,5} } \right), \hfill \\ u \in W_2^k \left( \Omega \right),k \in \left[ {3,4} \right] \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ .

Exact Non-Self-Similar Solutions of the Equation $$u_t = \Delta \ln u$$

Stabilization of solutions of the filtration equation with absorption and non-linear flux

This paper is primarily concerned with the large time behaviour of solutions of the initial boundary value problem $$\begin{gathered} u_t = \Delta \phi (u) - \varphi (x,u)in\Omega \times (0,\infty ) \hfill \\ - \frac{{\partial \phi (u)}}{{\partial \eta }} \in \beta (u)on\partial \Omega \times (0,\infty ) \hfill \\ u(x,0) = u_0 (x)in\Omega . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ Problems of this sort arise in a number of areas of science; for instance, in models for gas or fluid flows in porous media and for the spread of certain biological populations.     

On some boundary value problems with integral conditions for functional differential equations

For the functional differential equationu ⁽ⁿ⁾ (t)=f(u)(t) we have established the sufficient conditions for solvability and unique solvability of the boundary value problems $$u^{(i)} (0) = c_i (i = 0,...,m - 1), \smallint _0^{ + \infty } |u^{(m)} (t)|^2 dt< + \infty $$ and $$\begin{gathered} u^{(i)} (0) = c_i (i = 0),...,m - 1, \hfill \\ \smallint _0^{ + \infty } t^{2j} |u^{(j)} (t)|^2 dt< + \infty (j = 0,...,m), \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ wheren≥2,m is the integer part of $\tfrac{n}{2}$ ,c _i ∈R, andf is the continuous operator acting from the space of (n?1)-times continuously differentiable functions given on an interval [0,+∞] into the space of locally Lebesgue integrable functions.     

On the maximization of a certain nondifferentiable function

Let us consider a function $$\begin{gathered} \varphi (z) = \min \max f_{ij} (z), \hfill \\ \begin{array}{*{20}c} --- \\ {j \in 1,N} \\ \end{array} \begin{array}{*{20}c} --- \\ {j \in 1,N_j } \\ \end{array} \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ where the functionsf _ij(z) are supposed to be continuously differentiable and real-valued on a set Ω ofE _n,z?E _n. The problem is to find max_z?Ω?(z). In this paper, it is proved that ?(z) is directionally differentiable. A necessary condition for a maximum is derived, and some numerical algorithms for maximizing ? are suggested. The results obtained can be applied for solving some problems in mathematical programming and control theory.     

Three Topological Problems about Integral Functionals on Sobolev Spaces

In this paper, I propose some problems, of topological nature, on the energy functional associated to the Dirichlet problem $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} - \Delta {\kern 1pt} {\kern 1pt} u = f\left( {x,u} \right){\text{in}}\Omega \hfill \\ u_{\left| {\wp \Omega } \right.} = 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ Positive answers to these problems would produce innovative multiplicity results on problem (P_f).
