SOLUTION TO FRACTIONAL ORDER HYBRID NON-HOMOGENEOUS ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION

In this paper, we study a fractional order hybrid non-homogeneous ordinary diffe- rential equation. We gain r^ae^rt for the a order derivatives of both Riemann-Liouville type and Caputo type of function f（t） = e^rt by letting integral lower limit of fractional derivative be -∞. It is first time for us to use the traditional eigenvalue method to solve fractional order ordinary differential equation. However, the law of the number of mutually independent arbitrary constants in general solutions to fractional order hy- brid non-homogeneous ordinary differential equation and general ordinary differential equation are very different.

SOLUTIONS TO DISCRETE MULTIPARAMETER PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE p-LAPLACIAN VIA CRITICAL POINT THEORY

In this paper, we consider the existence of three nontrivial solutions for a discrete non-linear multiparameter periodic problem involving the p-Laplacian. By using the similar method for the Dirichlet boundary value problems in [G. Bonanno and P. Candito, Appl.Anal., 88(4)(2009), pp. 605-616], we construct two new strong maximum principles and obtain that the boundary value problem has three positive solutions for λ and μ in some suitable intervals. The approaches we use are the critical point theory.

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO A NONHOMO- GENEOUS NONAUTONOMOUS SECOND- ORDER BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

The existence of multiple positive solutions is studied for a nonlinear nonauto- nomous second-order boundary value problem with nonhomogeneous boundary con- ditions. In order to describe the growth behaviors of nonlinearity on some bounded sets, two height functions are introduced. By considering the integrals of the height functions and applying the Krasnosel＇skii fixed point theorems on a cone, several new results are proved.

We study the existence of positive solutions to boundary value problems for one- dimensional p-Laplacian under some conditions about the first eigenvalues correspon- ding to the relevant operators by the fixed point theory. The main difficulties are the computation of fixed point index and the subadditivity for positively 1-homogeneous operator.     

A Nonlinear Diffusion System with Coupled Nonlinear Boundary Flux

This paper studies a nonlinear diffusion system with coupled nonlinear boundary flux and two kinds of inner sources （positive for the first and negative for the second）, where the four nonlinear mechanisms are described by eight nonlinear parameters. The critical exponent of the system is determined by a complete classification of the eight nonlinear parameters, which is represented via the characteristic algebraic system introduced to the problem.     

NUMERICAL LOCALIZATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPERFECTIONS FROM A PERTURBATION FORMULA IN THREE DIMENSIONS

This work deals with the numerical localization of small electromagnetic inhomogeneities. The underlying inverse problem considers, in a three-dimensional bounded domain, the time-harmonic Maxwell equations formulated in electric field. Typically, the domain contains a finite number of unknown inhomogeneities of small volume and the inverse problem attempts to localize these inhomogeneities from a finite number of boundary measurements. Our localization approach is based on a recent framework that uses an asymptotic expansion for the perturbations in the tangential boundary trace of the curl of the electric field. We present three numerical localization procedures resulting from the combination of this asymptotic expansion with each of the following inversion algorithms： the Current Projection method, the MUltiple Signal Classification （MUSIC） algorithm, and an Inverse Fourier method. We perform a numerical study of the asymptotic expansion and compare the numerical results obtained from the three localization procedures in different settings.     

CONVERGENCE ANALYSIS OF THE JACOBI SPECTRAL-COLLOCATION METHOD FOR FRACTIONAL INTEGRO-DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

We propose and analyze a spectral Jacobi-collocation approximation for fractional order integro-differential equations of Volterra type. The fractional derivative is described in the Caputo sense. We provide a rigorous error analysis for the collection method,which shows that the errors of the approximate solution decay exponentially in L∞norm and weighted L2-norm. The numerical examples are given to illustrate the theoretical results.     

BOUNDARY LAYER AND VANISHING DIFFUSION LIMIT FOR NONLINEAR EVOLUTION EQUATIONS

GLOBAL BLOW-UP FOR A LOCALIZED DEGENERATE AND SINGULAR PARABOLIC EQUATION WITH WEIGHTED NONLOCAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

This paper deals with the blow-up properties of positive solutions to a localized degenerate and singular parabolic equation with weighted nonlocal boundary condi- tions. Under appropriate hypotheses, the global existence and finite time blow-up of positive solutions are obtained. Furthermore, the global blow-up behavior and the uniform blow-up profile of blow-up solutions are also described. We find that the blow-up set is the whole domain {0, a}, including the boundaries, and this differs from parabolic equations with local sources case or with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions case.
