Global boundedness of the solutions to a Gurtin-MacCamy system

This paper is concerned with the analysis of a generalized Gurtin-MacCamy model describing the evolution of an age-structured population. The problem of global boundedness is studied. Namely we ask whether there are simple general assumptions that one can make on the vital rates in order to have boundedness of the solution. Next a fully implicit finite difference scheme along the characteristic is considered to approximate the solution of the system. Global boundedness of the numerical solutions is investigated. The optimal rate of convergence of the scheme is obtained in the maximum norm. Numerical examples are presented.     

Stefan Problem with Change Density Upon Change of Phase (I)

In this paper, we establish the existence of one-dimensional classical solution of one-phase problem and its continuous dependence. In addition, we prove that if ε → 0, the free boundary X(t) withdraws and solution converges to the solution of classical Stefan problem. The two-phase problem wiU be discussed in the coming paper.     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions to a quasilinear nonuniform parabolic system modelling chemotaxis

In this paper, we study a quasilinear nonuniform parabolic system modelling chemotaxis and taking the volume-filling effect into account. The results on the existence of a unique global classical solution was obtained in Cie?lak (2007) [4]. However, the convergence to equilibrium was not considered in that paper. In this paper, we first obtain the crucial uniform boundedness of the solution. Then with the help of a suitable non-smooth Simon-?ojasiewicz approach we obtain the results on convergence to equilibrium and the decay rate.     

Global boundedness and stability of solutions for prey-taxis model with handling and searching predators

In this paper, we show the global boundedness and stability of solutions for prey-taxis model with handling and searching predators in a two-dimensional bounded domain with smooth boundary. First, entropy-like equations and boundedness criteria are derived, and it is proved that the system has a unique uniformly bounded global classical solution. In addition, we show that prey-only steady state is globally asymptotically stable if the predator is weak. The convergence rate of solutions to the steady states is derived in the paper.     

On Generalizations of the Frank-Wolfe Theorem to Convex and Quasi-Convex Programmes

In this paper we are concerned with the problem of boundedness and the existence of optimal solutions to the constrained optimization problem. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for boundedness of either a faithfully convex or a quasi-convex polynomial function over the feasible set defined by a system of faithfully convex inequality constraints and/or quasi-convex polynomial inequalities, where the faithfully convex functions satisfy some mild assumption. The conditions are provided in the form of an algorithm, terminating after a finite number of iterations, the implementation of which requires the identification of implicit equality constraints in a homogeneous linear system. We prove that the optimal solution set of the considered problem is nonempty, this way extending the attainability result well known as the so-called Frank-Wolfe theorem. Finally we show that our extension of the Frank-Wolfe theorem immediately implies continuity of the solution set defined by the considered system of (quasi)convex inequalities.

Boundedness and global stability of the predator–prey model with prey-taxis and competition

In this paper, we consider a reaction–diffusion system of the population dynamics of two predators and one prey with prey-taxis and competition. We prove the global existence and uniform boundedness of the positive classical solutions for the fully parabolic system over a bounded domain with Neumann boundary conditions. Furthermore, we establish the asymptotic behavior of solutions by constructing some appropriate Lyapunov functionals. Our results not only generalize the previously known one, but also present some new conclusions.     

On measure solutions of backward stochastic differential equations

We consider backward stochastic differential equations (BSDEs) with nonlinear generators typically of quadratic growth in the control variable. A measure solution of such a BSDE will be understood as a probability measure under which the generator is seen as vanishing, so that the classical solution can be reconstructed by a combination of the operations of conditioning and using martingale representations. For the case where the terminal condition is bounded and the generator fulfills the usual continuity and boundedness conditions, we show that measure solutions with equivalent measures just reinterpret classical ones. For the case of terminal conditions that have only exponentially bounded moments, we discuss a series of examples which show that in the case of non-uniqueness, classical solutions that fail to be measure solutions can coexist with different measure solutions.     

Results for a turbulent system with unbounded viscosities: Weak formulations,existence of solutions,boundedness and smoothness

We consider a circulation system arising in turbulence modelling in fluid dynamics with unbounded eddy viscosities. Various notions of weak solution are considered and compared. We establish existence and regularity results. In particular we study the boundedness of weak solutions. We also establish an existence result for a classical solution.

On boundedness of (quasi-)convex integer optimization problems

In this paper we are concerned with the problem of boundedness and the existence of optimal solutions to the constrained integer optimization problem. We present necessary and sufficient conditions for boundedness of either a faithfully convex or quasi-convex polynomial function over the feasible set contained in , and defined by a system of faithfully convex inequality constraints and/or quasi-convex polynomial inequalities. The conditions for boundedness are provided in the form of an implementable algorithm, terminating after a finite number of iterations, showing that for the considered class of functions, the integer programming problem with nonempty feasible region is unbounded if and only if the associated continuous optimization problem is unbounded. We also prove that for a broad class of objective functions (which in particular includes polynomials with integer coefficients), an optimal solution set of the constrained integer problem is nonempty over any subset of .     

A strengthening of the interior Hölder continuity property for solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a second-order elliptic equation

The classical solution of the Dirichlet problem with a continuous boundary function for a linear elliptic equation with Hölder continuous coefficients and right-hand side satisfies the interior Schauder estimates describing the possible increase of the solution smoothness characteristics as the boundary is approached, namely, of the solution derivatives and their difference ratios in the corresponding Hölder norm. We prove similar assertions for the generalized solution with some other smoothness characteristics. In contrast to the interior Schauder estimates for classical solutions, our established estimates for the differential characteristics imply the continuity of the generalized solution in a sense natural for the problem (in the sense of (n-1)-dimensional continuity) up to the boundary of the domain in question. We state the global properties in terms of the boundedness of the integrals of the square of the difference between the solution values at different points with respect to especially normalized measures in a certain class.     

On the existence and uniqueness of solutions to FBSDEs in a non-degenerate case

We prove a result of existence and uniqueness of solutions to forward–backward stochastic differential equations, with non-degeneracy of the diffusion matrix and boundedness of the coefficients as functions of x as main assumptions.This result is proved in two steps. The first part studies the problem of existence and uniqueness over a small enough time duration, whereas the second one explains, by using the connection with quasi-linear parabolic system of PDEs, how we can deduce, from this local result, the existence and uniqueness of a solution over an arbitrarily prescribed time duration. Improving this method, we obtain a result of existence and uniqueness of classical solutions to non-degenerate quasi-linear parabolic systems of PDEs.This approach relaxes the regularity assumptions required on the coefficients by the Four-Step scheme.     

Two-weight Hilbert transform and Lipschitz property of Jacobi matrices associated to hyperbolic polynomials

We are going to prove a Lipschitz property of Jacobi matrices built by orthogonalizing polynomials with respect to measures in the orbit of classical Perron-Frobenius-Ruelle operators associated to hyperbolic polynomial dynamics. This Lipschitz estimate will not depend on the dimension of the Jacobi matrix. It is obtained using some sufficient conditions for two-weight boundedness of the Hilbert transform. It has been proved in [F. Peherstorfer, A. Volberg, P. Yuditskii, Limit periodic Jacobi matrices with prescribed p-adic hull and a singular continuous spectrum, Math. Res. Lett. 13 (2-3) (2006) 215-230] for all polynomials with sufficiently big hyperbolicity and in the most symmetric case t=0 that the Lipschitz estimate becomes exponentially better when the dimension of the Jacobi matrix grows. This allows us to get for such polynomials the solution of a problem of Bellissard, in other words, to prove the limit periodicity of the limit Jacobi matrix. We suggest a scheme how to approach Bellissard's problem for all hyperbolic dynamics by uniting the methods of the present paper and those of [F. Peherstorfer, A. Volberg, P. Yuditskii, Limit periodic Jacobi matrices with prescribed p-adic hull and a singular continuous spectrum, Math. Res. Lett. 13 (2-3) (2006) 215-230]. On the other hand, the nearness of Jacobi matrices under consideration in operator norm implies a certain nearness of their canonical spectral measures. One can notice that this last claim just gives us the classical commutative Perron-Frobenius-Ruelle theorem (it is concerned exactly with the nearness of such measures). In particular, in many situations we can see that the classical Perron-Frobenius-Ruelle theorem is a corollary of a certain non-commutative observation concerning the quantitative nearness of pertinent Jacobi matrices in operator norm.     

Asymptotic Behavior of Global Classical Solutions of Quasilinear Non-strictly Hyperbolic Systems with Weakly Linear Degeneracy

In this paper, we study the asymptotic behavior of global classical solutions of the Cauchy problem for general quasilinear hyperbolic systems with constant multiple and weakly linearly degenerate characteristic fields. Based on the existence of global classical solution proved by Zhou Yi et al., we show that, when t tends to infinity, the solution approaches a combination of C1 travelling wave solutions, provided that the total variation and the L1 norm of initial data are sufficiently small.     

Initial boundary value problems for a quantum hydrodynamic model of semiconductors: Asymptotic behaviors and classical limits

The present paper proves the existence and the asymptotic stability of a stationary solution to the initial boundary value problem for a quantum hydrodynamic model of semiconductors over a one-dimensional bounded domain. We also discuss on a singular limit from this model to a classical hydrodynamic model without quantum effects. Precisely, we prove that a solution for the quantum model converges to that for the hydrodynamic model as the Planck constant tends to zero. Here we adopt a non-linear boundary condition which means quantum effect vanishes on the boundary. In the previous researches, the existence and the asymptotic stability of a stationary solution are proved under the assumption that a doping profile is flat, which makes the stationary solution also flat. However, the typical doping profile in actual devices does not satisfy this assumption. Thus, we prove the above theorems without this flatness assumption. Firstly, the existence of the stationary solution is proved by the Leray-Schauder fixed-point theorem. Secondly, we show the asymptotic stability theorem by using an elementary energy method, where the equation for an energy form plays an essential role. Finally, the classical limit is considered by using the energy method again.     

Concave solutions of a general self-similar boundary layer problem for power-law fluids

In this paper, we give a rigorous mathematical analysis for a third order nonlinear boundary value problem. The boundary value problem can be applied to steady free convection around a vertical impermeable flat plate in a fluid-saturated porous medium, or steady flow of a power-law fluid induced by impermeable stretching walls in the frame of boundary layer approximation. We establish the uniqueness, existence and nonexistence of (normal) concave solutions or generalized concave solutions to the problem, and obtain some results about boundedness and asymptotic behavior of the (normal) concave solution or the generalized concave solution.

Real Interpolation of Generalized Besov-Hardy Spaces and Applications

In this paper we consider generalized Hardy spaces which include classical Hardy spaces and Hardy-Lorentz spaces as special cases. We give real interpolation results for such spaces. As applications, we solve an interpolation problem for Besov spaces of generalized smoothness and prove the boundedness of pseudodifferential operators acting both in these spaces and in the local Hardy spaces. For the latter spaces, we also obtain wavelet decompositions.     

拟线性双曲组在半有界初始轴上的柯西问题整体经典解的渐近性态

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of global classical solutions to the Cauchy problem with initial data given on a semi-bounded axis for quasilinear hyperbolic systems. Based on the existence result on the global classical solution, we prove that, when t tends to the infinity, the solution approaches a combination of C1 travelling wave solutions with the algebraic rate （1 ＋ t）^-u, provided that the initial data decay with the rate （1 ＋ x）^-（l＋u） （resp. （1 - x）^-（1＋u）） as x tends to ＋∞ （resp. -∞）, where u is a positive constant.
