Stability for systems of 1-D coupled nonlinear oscillators

The stability of the null solution of different systems of differential equations describing the motion of 1-D coupled nonlinear oscillators is discussed. Under certain assumptions we derive some stability results. Specifically, in the case of coupled damped oscillators we obtain asymptotic stability of the null solution (see Theorem 3.1, Example 3.1, and Fig. 2), while in the case of partial lack of damping we only obtain convergence to zero of the solution components corresponding to damped oscillators (see Theorem 4.1, Example 4.1, and Fig. 5). In all cases, including the case of coupled undamped oscillators, we obtain uniform stability of the null solution.     

On the Partial Equiasymptotic Stability in Functional Differential Equations

A system of functional differential equations with delay dz/dt = Z(t, z_t), where Z is the vector-valued functional is considered. It is supposed that this system has a zero solution z = 0. Definitions of its partial stability, partial asymptotical stability, and partial equiasymptotical stability are given. Theorems on the partial equiasymptotical stability are formulated and proved.     

Stability analysis for neural networks with inverse Lipschitzian neuron activations and impulses

In this paper, a new concept called α-inverse Lipschitz function is introduced. Based on the topological degree theory and Lyapunov functional method, we investigate global convergence for a novel class of neural networks with impulses where the neuron activations belong to the class of α-inverse Lipschitz functions. Some sufficient conditions are derived which ensure the existence, and global exponential stability of the equilibrium point of neural networks. Furthermore, we give two results which are used to check the stability of uncertain neural networks. Finally, two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of results obtained in this paper.     

A quantitative study on the stability of delay discrete singular systems

For quadratic delay discrete singular systems, an algebraic criterion on the stability is established, and the size of the uniform stability region and asymptotic stability region around zero is estimated. Hence, the criterion is both qualitative and quantitative. With the computer techniques, the criterion dependent of delay is easy test and applies to the application in the practice. An illustrative simulation is given to illustrate the application of the obtained result.

The analysis and application of an HBV model

A mathematical model is formulated to describe the spread of hepatitis B. The stability of equilibria and persistence of disease are analyzed. The results shows that the dynamics of the model is completely determined by the basic reproductive number ρ₀. If ρ₀ < 1, the disease-free equilibrium is globally stable. When ρ₀ > 1, the disease-free equilibrium is unstable and the disease is uniformly persistent. Furthermore, under certain conditions, it is proved that the endemic equilibrium is globally attractive. Numerical simulations are conducted to demonstrate our theoretical results. The model is applied to HBV transmission in China. The parameter values of the model are estimated based on available HBV epidemic data in China. The simulation results matches the HBV epidemic data in China approximately.     

Uniform asymptotic stability for perturbed neutral delay differential equations

One-dimensional perturbed neutral delay differential equations of the form (x(t)−P(t,x(t−τ)))′=f(t,x_t)+g(t,x_t) are considered assuming that f satisfies −v(t)M(φ)?f(t,φ)?v(t)M(−φ), where M(φ)=max{0,max_s∈[−r,0]φ(s)}. A typical result is the following: if ‖g(t,φ)‖?w(t)‖φ‖ and , then the zero solution is uniformly asymptotically stable providing that the zero solution of the corresponding equation without perturbation (x(t)−P(t,x(t−τ)))′=f(t,x_t) is uniformly asymptotically stable. Some known results associated with this equation are extended and improved.     

Orbital stability of solitary waves for Kundu equation

In this paper, we consider the Kundu equation which is not a standard Hamiltonian system. The abstract orbital stability theory proposed by Grillakis et al. (1987, 1990) cannot be applied directly to study orbital stability of solitary waves for this equation. Motivated by the idea of Guo and Wu (1995), we construct three invariants of motion and use detailed spectral analysis to obtain orbital stability of solitary waves for Kundu equation. Since Kundu equation is more complex than the derivative Schrödinger equation, we utilize some techniques to overcome some difficulties in this paper. It should be pointed out that the results obtained in this paper are more general than those obtained by Guo and Wu (1995). We present a sufficient condition under which solitary waves are orbitally stable for 2c₃+s₂υ<0, while Guo and Wu (1995) only considered the case 2c₃+s₂υ>0. We obtain the results on orbital stability of solitary waves for the derivative Schrödinger equation given by Colin and Ohta (2006) as a corollary in this paper. Furthermore, we obtain orbital stability of solitary waves for Chen-Lee-Lin equation and Gerdjikov-Ivanov equation, respectively.

Interface feedback control stabilization of a nonlinear fluid-structure interaction

We consider a model of fluid-structure interaction in a bounded domain Ω∈Rⁿ, n=2, where Ω is comprised of two open adjacent sub-domains occupied, respectively, by the solid and the fluid. This leads to a study of the Navier-Stokes equation coupled on the boundary with the dynamic system of elasticity. We shall consider models where the elastic body exhibits small but rapid oscillations. These are established models arising in engineering applications when the structure is immersed in a viscous flow of liquid. Questions related to the stability of finite energy solutions are of paramount interest.It was shown in Lasiecka and Lu (2011) [14] that all data of finite energy produce solutions whose energy converges strongly to zero. The cited result holds under “partial flatness” geometric condition whose role is to control the effects of the pressure in the NS equation. Related conditions has been used in Avalos and Triggiani (2008) [23] for the analysis of the linear model. The goal of the present work is to study uniform stability of all finite energy solutions corresponding to nonlinear interaction. This particular question, of interest in its own rights, is also a necessary preliminary step for the analysis of optimal control strategies arising in infinite-horizon control problems associated with the structure. It is shown in this paper that a stress type feedback control applied on the interface of the structure produces solutions whose energy is exponentially stable.     

Exponential stability criteria of uncertain systems with multiple time delays

The exponential stability (with convergence rate α) of uncertain linear systems with multiple time delays is studied in this paper. Using the characteristic function of linear time-delay system, stability criteria are derived to guarantee α-stability. Sufficient conditions are also obtained for exponential stability of uncertain parametric systems with multiple time delays. For two-dimensional time-invariant system with multiple time delays, the proposed stability criteria are shown to be less conservative than those in the literature. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the validity of our new stability criteria.     

Persistence and stability for a two-species ratio-dependent predator-prey system with distributed time delay

Local and global uniform convergence for elliptic problems on varying domains

The aim of the paper is to prove optimal results on local and global uniform convergence of solutions to elliptic equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions on varying domains. We assume that the limit domain be stable in the sense of Keldyš [Amer. Math. Soc. Transl. 51 (1966) 1-73]. We further assume that the approaching domains satisfy a necessary condition in the inside of the limit domain, and only require L²-convergence outside. As a consequence, uniform and L²-convergence are the same in the trivial case of homogenisation of a perforated domain. We are also able to deal with certain cracking domains.     

Construction of continuous solutions and stability for the polynomial-like iterative equation

Most of known results such as existence, uniqueness and stability for polynomial-like iterative equations were given under the assumption that the coefficient of the first order iteration term does not vanish. The existence with a non-zero leading coefficient was therefore raised as an open problem. It was positively answered for local C¹ solutions later. In this paper this problem is answered further by constructing C⁰ solutions. Moreover, we discuss the stability of those C⁰ solutions, which consequently implies a result of the stability for iterative roots.     

Global exponential stability of impulsive integro-differential equation

In this paper, an impulsive integro-differential equation is considered. By establishing an integro-differential inequality with impulsive initial conditions and using the properties of M-cone and eigenspace of the spectral radius of nonnegative matrices, some new sufficient conditions for global exponential stability of impulsive integro-differential equation are obtained. The results extend and improve the earlier publications. An example is given to demonstrate the effectiveness of the theory.     

Fixed points and exponential stability of mild solutions of stochastic partial differential equations with delays

The fixed-point theory is first used to consider the stability for stochastic partial differential equations with delays. Some conditions for the exponential stability in pth mean as well as in sample path of mild solutions are given. These conditions do not require the monotone decreasing behavior of the delays, which is necessary in [T. Caraballo, K. Liu, Exponential stability of mild solutions of stochastic partial differential equations with delays, Stoch. Anal. Appl. 17 (1999) 743-763; Ruhollan Jahanipur, Stability of stochastic delay evolution equations with monotone nonlinearity, Stoch. Anal. Appl. 21 (2003) 161-181]. Even in this special case, our results also improve the results in [T. Caraballo, K. Liu, Exponential stability of mild solutions of stochastic partial differential equations with delays, Stoch. Anal. Appl. 17 (1999) 743-763].     

A nonlinear stability analysis of a rotating double-diffusive magnetized ferrofluid

A nonlinear stability result for a double-diffusive magnetized ferrofluid layer rotating about a vertical axis for stress-free boundaries is derived via generalized energy method. The mathematical emphasis is on how to control the nonlinear terms caused by magnetic body and inertia forces. The result is compared with the result obtained by linear instability theory. The critical magnetic thermal Rayleigh number given by energy theory is slightly less than those given by linear theory and thus indicates the existence of subcritical instability for ferrofluids. For non-ferrofluids, it is observed that the nonlinear critical stability thermal Rayleigh number coincides with that of linear critical stability thermal Rayleigh number. For lower values of magnetic parameters, this coincidence is immediately lost. The effect of magnetic parameter, M₃, solute gradient, S₁, and Taylor number, T_A1, on subcritical instability region have been analyzed. We also demonstrate coupling between the buoyancy and magnetic forces in the nonlinear stability analysis.

In this paper shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks (SICNNs) with time-varying and continuously distributed delays are considered on time scale T. Without assuming the global Lipschitz conditions of activation functions, some new sufficient conditions for the existence and asymptotic stability of the almost periodic solutions are established on time scales. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate our feasible results.
