when is a three-periodic sequence of positive numbers, is periodic with period three. The same result was proved for the following min-type difference equation

     

Classical and non-classical solutions of a prescribed curvature equation

We discuss existence and multiplicity of positive solutions of the one-dimensional prescribed curvature problem

depending on the behaviour at the origin and at infinity of the potential . Besides solutions in W^2,1(0,1), we also consider solutions in which are possibly discontinuous at the endpoints of [0,1]. Our approach is essentially variational and is based on a regularization of the action functional associated with the curvature problem.     

Blow-up analysis for a system of heat equations with nonlinear flux which obey different laws

We consider a system of heat equations u_t=Δu and v_t=Δv in Ω×(0,T) completely coupled by nonlinear boundary conditions

We prove that the solutions always blow up in finite time for non-zero and non-negative initial values. Also, the blow-up only occurs on ∂Ω with

for p,q>0, 0≤α<1 and 0≤β<p.     

Homogenization of degenerate nonlinear parabolic equation in divergence form

In this paper the homogenization of degenerate nonlinear parabolic equations

where a(t,y,λ) is periodic in (t,y), is studied via a weighted compensated compactness result.     

Positivity of Szegö's rational function

We consider the problem of deciding whether a given rational function has a power series expansion with all its coefficients positive. Introducing an elementary transformation that preserves such positivity we are able to provide an elementary proof for the positivity of Szegö's function

which has been at the historical root of this subject starting with Szegö. We then demonstrate how to apply the transformation to prove a 4-dimensional generalization of the above function, and close with discussing the set of parameters (a,b) such that

has positive coefficients.     

Blow-up of positive-initial-energy solutions of a nonlinear viscoelastic hyperbolic equation

In this paper, we consider the nonlinear viscoelastic equation

with initial conditions and Dirichlet boundary conditions. For nonincreasing positive functions g and for p>m, we prove that there are solutions with positive initial energy that blow up in finite time.

Partial regularity for solutions of a nonlinear elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity

We consider the following nonlinear elliptic equation with singular nonlinearity:

where α>β>1, a>0, and Ω is an open subset of , n2. Let uH¹(Ω) with and be a nonnegative stationary solution. If we denote the zero set of u by

Nonexistence of backward self-similar blowup solutions to a supercritical semilinear heat equation

We consider a Cauchy problem for a semilinear heat equation

with p>p_S where p_S is the Sobolev exponent. If u(x,t)=(T−t)^−1/(p−1)φ((T−t)^−1/2x) for xR^N and t[0,T), where φ is a regular positive solution of

(P)

then u is called a backward self-similar blowup solution. It is immediate that (P) has a trivial positive solution κ≡(p−1)^−1/(p−1) for all p>1. Let p_L be the Lepin exponent. Lepin obtained a radial regular positive solution of (P) except κ for p_S<p<p_L. We show that there exist no radial regular positive solutions of (P) which are spatially inhomogeneous for p>p_L.

One point quadrature rule with cardinal B-spline

To compute approximately an integral

(1)

where φ_m() is cardinal B-spline, we used composite rectangular rule. We proved that, on the “quasi uniform” mesh, the used formula has, conditionally speaking, algebraic degree of exactness m−1. Under additional assumptions, algebraic degree of exactness is m.     

Stochastic functional Kolmogorov-type population dynamics

In this paper we stochastically perturb the functional Kolmogorov-type system

into the stochastic functional differential equation

This paper studies existence and uniqueness of the global positive solution, and its asymptotic bound properties and moment average in time. These properties are natural requirements from the biological point of view. As the special cases, we discuss the various stochastic Lotka–Volterra systems.     

Asymptotic behavior of Solutions for Hénon systems with nearly critical exponent

We consider in this paper the problem

(0.1)

where Ω is the unit ball in centered at the origin, 0α<pN, β>0, N8, p>1, q_ε>1. Suppose q_ε→q>1 as ε→0⁺ and q_ε,q satisfy respectively

we investigate the asymptotic behavior of the ground state solutions (u_ε,v_ε) of (0.1) as ε→0⁺. We show that the ground state solutions concentrate at a point, which is located at the boundary. In addition, the ground state solution is non-radial provided that ε>0 is small.     

A remark on vorticity maximal function

In this note the following inequality is proved. For any nonnegative measure μH⁻¹(R²), xR² and 0<r<1, there holds

(1)

where C is a positive constant. Using (1) an estimate for the vorticity maximal function similar to the estimate in Majda [A. Majda, Remarks on weak solutions for vortex sheets with a distinguished sign, Indiana Univ. Math. J. 42 (1993) 921–939] is established without assuming the initial vorticity having compact support. From this a more simple proof of the Delort's celebrated theorem [J.M. Delort, Existence de mappes de fourbillon en dimension deux, J. Amer. Math. Soc. 4 (1991) 553–586] is presented.
