The nonlocal Cauchy problem for nonlinear fractional integrodifferential equations in Banach spaces

In this paper we prove the existence of solutions of certain kinds of nonlinear fractional integrodifferential equations in Banach spaces. Further, Cauchy problems with nonlocal initial conditions are discussed for the aforementioned fractional integrodifferential equations. At the end, an example is presented.     

Existence of solutions for nonlocal impulsive partial functional integrodifferential equations via fractional operators

In this paper, by using the Leray-Schauder alternative, we have investigated the existence of mild solutions to first-order impulsive partial functional integrodifferential equations with nonlocal conditions in an α-norm. We assume that the linear part generates an analytic compact bounded semigroup, and that the nonlinear part is a Lipschitz continuous function with respect to the fractional power norm of the linear part. An example is also given to illustrate our main results.     

Mild solutions of functional semilinear evolution Volterra integrodifferential equations on an unbounded interval

In this paper, we study the existence of mild solutions for initial value problems for semilinear Volterra integrodifferential equations in a Banach space. The arguments are based on the concept of measure of noncompactness in Fréchet space and the Tikhonov fixed point theorem.     

Asymptotically almost automorphic solutions for some integrodifferential equations with nonlocal initial conditions

Of concern is a class of abstract semilinear integrodifferential equations with nonlocal initial conditions. Under some suitable hypotheses, we establish some new theorems about the existence of asymptotically almost automorphic solutions to the integrodifferential equations. Moreover, an example is given to illustrate our results.     

Sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of nonlinear multidelay differential equations with linear parts defined by pairwise permutable matrices

In this paper a generalization of the delayed exponential defined by Khusainov and Shuklin (2003) [1] for autonomous linear delay systems with one delay defined by permutable matrices is given for delay systems with multiple delays and pairwise permutable matrices. Using this multidelay-exponential a solution of a Cauchy initial value problem is represented. By an application of this representation and using Pinto’s integral inequality an asymptotic stability results for some classes of nonlinear multidelay differential equations are proved.     

Reduction method for studying localized solutions of neural field equations on the Poincaré disk

We present a reduction method to study localized solutions of an integrodifferential equation defined on the Poincaré disk. This equation arises in a problem of texture perception modeling in the visual cortex. We first derive a partial differential equation which is equivalent to the initial integrodifferential equation and then deduce that localized solutions which are radially symmetric satisfy a fourth order ordinary differential equation.     

Local existence and regularity of solutions for some partial functional integrodifferential equations with infinite delay in Banach spaces

In this work, we study the existence and regularity of solutions for some partial functional integrodifferential equations with infinite delay in Banach spaces. We suppose that the undelayed part admits a resolvent operator in the sense of Grimmer [R. Grimmer, Resolvent operators for integral equations in a Banach space, Transactions of the American Mathematical Society 273 (1982) 333–349]. The delayed part is assumed to be locally Lipschitz. Firstly, we show the existence of the mild solutions. Secondly, we give sufficient conditions ensuring the existence of strict solutions.     

Nonlinear perturbations of nonuniform exponential dichotomy on measure chains

This paper focuses on nonlinear perturbations of flows in Banach spaces, corresponding to a nonautonomous dynamical system on measure chains admitting a nonuniform exponential dichotomy. We first define the nonuniform exponential dichotomy of linear nonuniformly hyperbolic systems on measure chains, then establish a new version of the Grobman-Hartman theorem for nonuniformly hyperbolic dynamics on measure chains with the help of nonuniform exponential dichotomies. Moreover, we also construct stable invariant manifolds for sufficiently small nonlinear perturbations of a nonuniform exponential dichotomy. In particular, it is shown that the stable invariant manifolds are Lipschitz in the initial values provided that the nonlinear perturbation is a sufficiently small Lipschitz perturbation.     

Well-defined solvability and spectral analysis of abstract hyperbolic integrodifferential equations

The authors study integrodifferential equations in Hilbert space. The coefficients of the equations are unbounded and the principal part is an abstract hyperbolic equation perturbed by terms with Volterra integral operators. Such equations can be regarded as an abstract generalization of the Gurtin–Pipkin integrodifferential equation that describes heat transfer in materials with memory and has a number of other applications. Well-defined solvability of initial boundary value problems for such equations is established in weighted Sobolev spaces on the positive semi-axis. The authors examine spectral problems for operator-valued functions representing the symbols of the said equations and study the spectrum of the abstract Gurtin–Pipkin integrodifferential equation.     

Integrodifferential equations with applications to a plate equation with memory

In this paper we study local existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence of an abstract integrodifferential equation. We also present a result on unique continuation and a blow‐up alternative for mild solutions of the integrodifferential equation. Finally, we apply our results to an interesting strongly damped plate equation with memory.     

Positivity and stability of linear functional differential equations with infinite delay

General linear functional differential equations with infinite delay are considered. We first give an explicit criterion for positivity of the solution semigroup of linear functional differential equations with infinite delay and then a Perron‐Frobenius type theorem for positive equations. Next, a novel criterion for the exponential asymptotic stability of positive equations is presented. Furthermore, two sufficient conditions for the exponential asymptotic stability of positive equations subjected to structured perturbations and affine perturbations are provided. Finally, we applied the obtained results to problems of the exponential asymptotic stability of Volterra integrodifferential equations. To the best of our knowledge, most of the results of this paper are new.     

Integral equations and initial value problems for nonlinear differential equations of fractional order

We discuss the solvability of integral equations associated with initial value problems for a nonlinear differential equation of fractional order. The differential operator is the Caputo fractional derivative and the inhomogeneous term depends on the fractional derivative of lower orders. We obtain the existence of at least one solution for integral equations using the Leray–Schauder Nonlinear Alternative for several types of initial value problems. In addition, using the Banach contraction principle, we establish sufficient conditions for unique solutions. Our approach in obtaining integral equations is the “reduction” of the fractional order of the integro-differential equations based on certain semigroup properties of the Caputo operator.     

Properties of finite-difference schemes for singular integrodifferential equations of index 1

Systems of integrodifferential equations with a singular matrix multiplying the highest derivative of the unknown vector function are considered. An existence theorem is formulated, and a numerical solution method is proposed. The solutions to singular systems of integrodifferential equations are unstable with respect to small perturbations in the initial data. The influence of initial perturbations on the behavior of numerical processes is analyzed. It is shown that the finite-difference schemes proposed for the systems under study are self-regularizing.

On a closed orbit of some constrained system

We study on what one calls a constrained system of ODEs on It consists of two ordinary differential equations and an algebraic equation with respect to three unknown functions. We seek closed orbits of such a system. A necessary and sufficient condition for the system to have non-trivial closed orbits is given. Elementary tools such as Lyapunov functions and Poincaré’s index theory are used in the proof of the result. As an application we consider a constrained system associated with a non-constraint system of ODEs called the modified Bonhöffer-van der Pol system.     

Exact null controllability of semilinear integrodifferential systems in Hilbert spaces

Sufficient conditions for exact null controllability of the semilinear integrodifferential systems in Hilbert spaces are obtained. It is shown that under some natural conditions exact null controllability of the semilinear integrodifferential system is implied by the exact null controllability of the corresponding linear system with additive term. An application to partial integrodifferential equations is given.     

Differential equations on variable time scales

We introduce a class of differential equations on variable   time scales with a transition condition between two consecutive parts of the scale. Conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions are obtained. Periodicity, boundedness and stability of solutions are considered. The method of investigation is by means of two successive reductions: B$B$-equivalence of the system [E. Akalín, M.U. Akhmet, The principles of B-smooth discontinuous flows, Computers and Mathematics with Applications 49 (2005) 981–995; M.U. Akhmet, Perturbations and Hopf bifurcation of the planar discontinuous dynamical system, Nonlinear Analysis 60 (2005) 163–178; M.U. Akhmet, N.A. Perestyuk, The comparison method for differential equations with impulse action, Differential Equations 26 (9) (1990) 1079–1086] on a variable time scale to a system on a time scale, a reduction to an impulsive differential equation [M.U. Akhmet, Perturbations and Hopf bifurcation of the planar discontinuous dynamical system, Nonlinear Analysis 60 (2005) 163–178; M.U. Akhmet, M. Turan, The differential equations on time scales through impulsive differential equations, Nonlinear Analysis 65 (2006) 2043–2060]. Appropriate examples are constructed to illustrate the theory.     

The Solvability for a Class of Nonlinear Integrodifferential Equations of Parabolic Type

In this paper we consider the well-posedness for a class of nonlinear integrodifferential equations of parabolic type. We use integral estimates to deduce an a priori estimate in the classical space C^{2+α,1+\frac{α}{2}}. The existence of the solution is established by means of the continuity method which is similar to a parabolic initial and boundary value problem. Moreover, the continuous dependence upon the data and the uniqueness of the solution are obtained. Finally, the results are generalized into a class of nonlinear integrodifferential systems.
