Existence and uniqueness of positive solutions of semilinear elliptic equations

This paper is devoted to the study of existence,uniqueness and non-degeneracy of positive solutions of semi-linear elliptic equations.A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of positive solutions to problems is given.We prove that if the uniqueness and non-degeneracy results are valid for positive solutions of a class of semi-linear elliptic equations,then they are still valid when one perturbs the differential operator a little bit.As consequences,some uniqueness results of positive solutions under the domain perturbation are also obtained.

关于非线性矩阵方程$X^s-A^*X^{-t}A=Q$的Hermitian正定解及其扰动估计

In this paper, the Hermitian positive definite solutions of the nonlinear matrix equation X^s - A^＊X^-tA = Q are studied, where Q is a Hermitian positive definite matrix, s and t are positive integers. The existence of a Hermitian positive definite solution is proved. A sufficient condition for the equation to have a unique Hermitian positive definite solution is given. Some estimates of the Hermitian positive definite solutions are obtained. Moreover, two perturbation bounds for the Hermitian positive definite solutions are derived and the results are illustrated by some numerical examples.

Stability of stationary solutions in models of the Calvin cycle

In this paper results are obtained concerning the number of positive stationary solutions in simple models of the Calvin cycle of photosynthesis and the stability of these solutions. It is proved that there are open sets of parameters in the model of Zhu et al. (2009) for which there exist two positive stationary solutions. There are never more than two isolated positive stationary solutions but under certain explicit special conditions on the parameters there is a whole continuum of positive stationary solutions. It is also shown that in the set of parameter values for which two isolated positive stationary solutions exist there is an open subset where one of the solutions is asymptotically stable and the other is unstable. In related models derived from the work of Grimbs et al. (2011), for which it was known that more than one positive stationary solution exists, it is proved that there are parameter values for which one of these solutions is asymptotically stable and the other unstable. A key technical aspect of the proofs is to exploit the fact that there is a bifurcation where the centre manifold is one-dimensional.     

Positive Solutions for a Lotka–Volterra Prey–Predator Model with Cross-Diffusion of Fractional Type

In this paper we consider a Lotka–Volterra prey–predator model with cross-diffusion of fractional type. The main purpose is to discuss the existence and nonexistence of positive steady state solutions of such a model. Here a positive solution corresponds to a coexistence state of the model. Firstly we study the stability of the trivial and semi-trivial solutions by analyzing the principal eigenvalue of the corresponding linearized system. Secondly we derive some necessary conditions to ensure the existence of positive solutions, which demonstrate that if the intrinsic growth rate of the prey is too small or the death rate (or the birth rate) of the predator is too large, the model does not possess positive solutions. Thirdly we study the sufficient conditions to ensure the existence of positive solutions by using degree theory. Finally we characterize the stable/unstable regions of semi-trivial solutions and coexistence regions in parameter plane.     

A qualitative study on general Gause-type predator–prey models with non-monotonic functional response

In this paper, we study a diffusive predator–prey model with general growth rates and non-monotonic functional response under homogeneous Neumann boundary condition. A local existence of periodic solutions and the asymptotic behavior of spatially inhomogeneous solutions are investigated. Moreover, we show the existence and non-existence of non-constant positive steady-state solutions. Especially, to show the existence of non-constant positive steady-states, the fixed point index theory is used without estimating the lower bounds of positive solutions. More precisely, calculating the indexes at the trivial, semi-trivial and positive constant solutions, some sufficient conditions for the existence of non-constant positive steady-state solutions are studied. This is in contrast to the works in previous papers. Furthermore, on obtaining these results, we can observe that the monotonicity of a prey isocline at the positive constant solution plays an important role.

Steady-state solutions of a reaction–diffusion system arising from intraguild predation and internal storage

Intraguild predation is added to a mathematical model of competition between two species for a single nutrient with internal storage in the unstirred chemostat. At first, we established the sharp a priori estimates for nonnegative solutions of the system, which assure that all of nonnegative solutions belong to a special cone. The selection of this special cone enables us to apply the topological fixed point theorems in cones to establish the existence of positive solutions. Secondly, existence for positive steady state solutions of intraguild prey and intraguild predator is established in terms of the principal eigenvalues of associated nonlinear eigenvalue problems by means of the degree theory in the special cone. It turns out that positive steady state solutions exist when the associated principal eigenvalues are both negative or both positive.     

On the semilinear reaction diffusion system arising from nuclear reactors

In this work, the initial-boundary value problem for a class of semilinear reaction-diffusion systems is considered. By an abstract fixed point theorem on positive cone together with an accurate a priori estimate, we establish the coexistence of the positive stationary solutions and the uniqueness of ordered positive stationary solutions. Next, we study the global existence and blowup of positive solutions and obtain a threshold result. Finally, we give the blowup rate estimate of positive blowup solutions.
