On the solvability in a weighted space of an initial–boundary value problem for a third-order operator-differential equation with a parabolic principal part

In a Sobolev-type space with an exponential weight, sufficient conditions are obtained for the correct and unique solvability of an initial–boundary value problem for a third-order operator-differential equation with a parabolic principal part having a multiple characteristic. The conditions are expressed in terms of the operator coefficients of the equation. Additionally, the norms of the operators of intermediate derivatives associated with the solvability conditions are estimated. The relation between the weight exponent and the lower boundary of the spectrum of the basic operator involved in the principal part of the equation is established. The results are illustrated as applied to a mixed problem for partial differential equations.     

On boundary value problem solvability theory for a class of high-order operator-differential equations

In this note, we establish sufficient conditions for the correct and unique solvability of various boundary value problems for a class of even-order operator-differential equations on the half-axis. These conditions are unimprovable in terms of operator coefficients of the equation. We note that the principal part of the equation under study suffers a discontinuity.     

Well-defined solvability and spectral properties of abstract hyperbolic equations with aftereffect

We study functional differential equations with unbounded operator coefficients in Hilbert spaces such that the principal part of the equation is an abstract hyperbolic equation perturbed by terms with delay and terms containing Volterra integral operators. The well-posed solvability of initial boundary-value problems for the specified problems in weighted Sobolev spaces on the positive semi-axis is established.     

The problem of Dirichlet for anisotropic quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations

We consider the Dirichlet problem for a class of anisotropic degenerate elliptic equations. New a priori estimates for solutions and for the gradient of solutions are established. Based on these estimates sufficient conditions guaranteeing the solvability of the problem are formulated. The results are new even in the semilinear case when the principal part is the Laplace operator.     

Spectral analysis and correct solvability of abstract integrodifferential equations arising in thermophysics and acoustics

In the present paper, we study integrodifferential equations with unbounded operator coefficients in Hilbert spaces. The principal part of the equation is an abstract hyperbolic equation perturbed by summands with Volterra integral operators. These equations represent an abstract form of the Gurtin–Pipkin integrodifferential equation describing the process of heat conduction in media with memory and the process of sound conduction in viscoelastic media and arise in averaging problems in perforated media (the Darcy law). The correct solvability of initial-boundary problems for the specified equations is established in weighted Sobolev spaces on a positive semiaxis. Spectral problems for operator-functions are analyzed. Such functions are symbols of these equations. The spectrum of the abstract integrodifferential Gurtin–Pipkin equation is investigated.     

On Some Integral Equations in Hilbert Space with an Application to the Theory of Elasticity

A Volterra type integral equation in a Hilbert space with an additional linear operator L and a spectral parameter depending on time is considered. If the parameter does not belong to the spectrum of L unconditional solvability of the considered problem is proved. In the case where the initial value of the parameter coincides with some isolated point of the spectrum of the operator L sufficient conditions for solvability are established. The obtained results are applied to the partial integral equations associated with a contact problem of the theory of elasticity.     

On solutions of one class of second-order operator differential equations in the class of holomorphic vector functions

We establish sufficient conditions for the completeness of a part of root vectors of one class of the second-order operator bundles corresponding to the characteristic numbers from a certain sector and prove the theorem on completeness of a system of elementary holomorphic solutions of the corresponding second-order homogeneous operator differential equations. We also indicate the conditions of correct and unique solvability of a boundary-value problem for the analyzed equation with linear operator in the boundary condition and estimate the norm of the operator of the intermediate derivative in the perturbed part of the equation.     

On the solvability of the Cauchy characteristic problem for a nonlinear equation with iterated wave operator in the principal part

We consider one multidimensional version of the Cauchy characteristic problem in the light cone of the future for a hyperbolic equation with power nonlinearity with iterated wave operator in the principal part. Depending on the exponent of nonlinearity and spatial dimension of equation, we investigate the problem on the nonexistence of global solutions of the Cauchy characteristic problem. The question on the local solvability of that problem is also considered.     

Solvability conditions of a boundary value problem with operator coefficients and related estimates of the norms of intermediate derivative operators

Sufficient conditions for the proper and unique solvability in the Sobolev space of vector functions of the boundary value problem for a certain class of second-order elliptic operator differential equations on a semiaxis are obtained. The boundary condition at zero involves an abstract linear operator. The solvability conditions are established by using properties of operator coefficients. The norms of intermediate derivative operators, which are closely related to the solvability conditions, are estimated.     

Normal solvability of boundary value problems for a class of fourth-order operator-differential equations in a weighted space

In a weighted space, we find sufficient conditions for the normal solvability of a boundary value problem for a class of fourth-order operator-differential equations whose leading part has multiple characteristics. Note that these conditions are expressed in terms of properties of operator coefficients of the equation considered.     

Periodic boundary-value problem for a fourth-order differential equation

In the present paper we obtain sufficient conditions for solvability of a periodic boundary-value problem for a fourth-order ordinary differential equation. The research technique is based on a solvability theorem for a quasi-linear operator equation in the resonance case. We formulate sufficient conditions for existence of periodic solutions in terms of the initial equation. The main result of the paper clarifies the existence theorem established by B. Mehry and D. Shadman in Sci. Iran. 15 (2), 182–185 (2008).     

Solvability of a boundary value problem for a stationary model of the magnetic hydrodynamics of a viscous heat-conducting fluid

A boundary value problem is studied for a stationary model of the magnetic hydrodynamics of a viscous heat-conducting fluid under nonhomogeneous boundary conditions on the velocity, electromagnetic field, and temperature. The model consists of the Navier-Stokes equations, the Maxwell equations, the generalized Ohm law, and the convection-diffusion equation for the temperature which are connected nonlinearly with each other. Sufficient conditions on the initial data are established that guarantee the global solvability of the problem under consideration and the local uniqueness of its solution. The properties are studied of the linear operator obtained by linearizing the operator of the original boundary value problem.

Necessary and sufficient conditions are established for the unique solvability of problems of determining an unknown right-hand side of a differential equation with an unbounded operator coefficient under an additional boundary condition.Translated from Ukrainskii Matematicheskii Zhurnal, Vol. 45, No. 1, pp. 120–127, January, 1993.     

A problem with a nonlocal,with respect to time,condition for multidimensional hyperbolic equations

We study a boundary-value problem for a hyperbolic equation with a nonlocal with respect to time-variable integral condition. We obtain sufficient conditions for unique solvability of the nonlocal problem. The proof is based on reduction of the nonlocal first-type condition to the second-type one. This allows to reduce the nonlocal problem to an operator equation. We show that unique solvability of the operator equation implies the existence of a unique solution to the problem.     

On the existence of optimal coefficient controls for a nonlinear Neumann boundary value problem

We study the solvability of an optimal control problem for a nonlinear elliptic equation with the Neumann conditions on the boundary for the case in which the coefficients in the main part of the differential operator play the role of control functions. We show that this problem is solvable in the class of generalized-solenoidal matrices.     

A remarkable class of second order differential operators on the Heisenberg group ${\mathbb H}_2$

Let L be a differential operator on whose principal part is of the form , where and , are the usual vector fields generating the Lie algebra of the Heisenberg group . We study the problem of local solvability of these doubly characteristic operators. The whole class of operators splits into three subclasses, depending on the sign of a respective determinant. The operators in the first subclass, when the determinant is negative, are generically non-solvable. The operators in the second subclass, when the determinant is positive, are solvable, for arbitrary left-invariant lower order terms, provided that the coefficient matrix is non-degenerate. This fact seems remarkable, since many of these operators have the property that the values taken by their principal symbol are not contained in any proper subcone of the complex plane. Under suitable conditions, solvability even holds in the presence of non-invariant lower order terms. Received: 17 January 2000 / Published online: 4 May 2001     

A majorant-minorant criterion for the total preservation of global solvability of a functional operator equation

We study a nonlinear controlled functional operator equation in an ideal Banach space. We establish sufficient conditions for the global solvability for all controls from a given set, and obtain a pointwise estimate for solutions. Using upper and lower estimates of the functional component in the right-hand side of the initial equation (with a fixed operator component), we obtain majorant and minorant equations. We prove the stated theorem, assuming the monotonicity of the operator component in the right-hand side and the global solvability of both majorant andminorant equations. We give examples of the reduction of controlled initial boundary value problems to the equation under consideration.     

A majorant criterion for the total preservation of global solvability of controlled functional operator equation

We prove the unique solvability of a nonlinear controlled functional operator equation in a Banach ideal space. We also establish sufficient conditions for the global solvability of all controls from a pointwise bounded set, provided that some majorant equation for the given family of these controls is globally solvable. We give examples of controlled boundary value problems reducible to the considered equation.     

Degenerate Linear Evolution Equations with the Riemann–Liouville Fractional Derivative

We study the unique solvability of the Cauchy and Schowalter–Sidorov type problems in a Banach space for an evolution equation with a degenerate operator at the fractional derivative under the assumption that the operator acting on the unknown function in the equation is p-bounded with respect to the operator at the fractional derivative. The conditions are found ensuring existence of a unique solution representable by means of the Mittag-Leffler type functions. Some abstract results are illustrated by an example of a finite-dimensional degenerate system of equations of a fractional order and employed in the study of unique solvability of an initial-boundary value problem for the linearized Scott-Blair system of dynamics of a medium.     

Nonlocal problem for complete second-order hyperbolic operator-differential equations with variable domains

We prove the well-posed solvability (in the strong sense) of complete second-order hyperbolic operator-differential equations with variable domains of unbounded operator coefficients under nonlocal initial conditions. We are the first to establish the well-posed solvability of the mixed problem for the complete string vibration equation with nonstationary boundary conditions and nonlocal initial conditions.
