EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR ONE-DIMENSIONAL p-LAPLACIAN

We study the existence of positive solutions to boundary value problems for one- dimensional p-Laplacian under some conditions about the first eigenvalues correspon- ding to the relevant operators by the fixed point theory. The main difficulties are the computation of fixed point index and the subadditivity for positively 1-homogeneous operator.     

SOLUTIONS TO DISCRETE MULTIPARAMETER PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE p-LAPLACIAN VIA CRITICAL POINT THEORY

In this paper, we consider the existence of three nontrivial solutions for a discrete non-linear multiparameter periodic problem involving the p-Laplacian. By using the similar method for the Dirichlet boundary value problems in [G. Bonanno and P. Candito, Appl.Anal., 88(4)(2009), pp. 605-616], we construct two new strong maximum principles and obtain that the boundary value problem has three positive solutions for λ and μ in some suitable intervals. The approaches we use are the critical point theory.

By establishing the corresponding variational framework, and using critical point theory, we give the existence of multiple solutions to a fractional difference boundary value problem with parameter. Under some suitable assumptions we obtain some results which ensure the existence of well precise interval of parameter for which the problem admits multiple solutions.     

Second order three-point boundary value problems in abstract spaces

In this paper we investigate the existence of solutions of the nonhomogeneous three-point boundaryvalue problem We search for solutions of the above problem in the Banach space of continuous functions C（[O, 1], E） with the Pettis integrability assumptions imposed on $. Some classes of Pettis-integrable functions are described in the paper and exploited in the proofs of main results. We stress on a class of pseudo-solutions of considered problem. Our results extend previous results of the same type for both Bochner and Pettis integrability settings. Similar results are also proved for differential inclusions i.e. when f is a multivalued function.

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO A NONHOMO- GENEOUS NONAUTONOMOUS SECOND- ORDER BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

The existence of multiple positive solutions is studied for a nonlinear nonauto- nomous second-order boundary value problem with nonhomogeneous boundary con- ditions. In order to describe the growth behaviors of nonlinearity on some bounded sets, two height functions are introduced. By considering the integrals of the height functions and applying the Krasnosel＇skii fixed point theorems on a cone, several new results are proved.     

A PERTURBATION METHOD FOR THE NUMERICAL SOLUTION OF THE BERNOULLI PROBLEM

We consider the numerical solution of the free boundary Bernoulli problem by employing level set formulations. Using a perturbation technique, we derive a second order method that leads to a fast iteration solver. The iteration procedure is adapted in order to work in the case of topology changes. Various numerical experiments confirm the efficiency of the derived numerical method.     

The Dep endence Problem for a Class of Polynomial Maps in Dimension Four

Let h be a polynomial in four variables with the singular Hessian Hh and the gradient ▽h and R be a nonzero relation of ▽h. Set H = ▽R（▽h）. We prove that the components of H are linearly dependent when rkHh ≤ 2 and give a necessary and sufficient condition for the components of H to be linearly dependent when rkHh = 3.     

The Maximum Trigonometric Degrees of Quadrature Formulae with Prescrib ed No des

The purpose of this paper is to study the maximum trigonometric degree of the quadrature formula associated with m prescribed nodes and n unknown additional nodes in the interval（-π, π]. We show that for a fixed n, the quadrature formulae with m and m ＋ 1 prescribed nodes share the same maximum degree if m is odd. We also give necessary and sufficient conditions for all the additional nodes to be real, pairwise distinct and in the interval（-π, π] for even m, which can be obtained constructively. Some numerical examples are given by choosing the prescribed nodes to be the zeros of Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind or randomly for m ≥ 3.     

A MONOTONE DOMAIN DECOMPOSITION ALGORITHM FOR SOLVING WEIGHTED AVERAGE APPROXIMATIONS TO NONLINEAR SINGULARLY PERTURBED PARABOLIC PROBLEMS

This paper presents and analyzes a monotone domain decomposition algorithm for solving nonlinear singularly perturbed reaction-diffusion problems of parabolic type. To solve the nonlinear weighted average finite difference scheme for the partial differential equation, we construct a monotone domain decomposition algorithm based on a Schwarz alternating method and a box-domain decomposition. This algorithm needs only to solve linear discrete systems at each iterative step and converges monotonically to the exact solution of the nonlinear discrete problem. domain decomposition algorithm is estimated The rate of convergence of the monotone Numerical experiments are presented.     

The exceptional set for sums of unlike powers of primes

It is established that all even positive integers up to N but at most O(N15/16+ε) exceptions can be expressed in the form p21+ p32+ p43+ p54,where p1,p2,p3 and p4 are prime numbers.

In this paper, we derive a priori bounds for global solutions of 2m-th order semilinear parabolic equations with superlinear and subcritical growth conditions. The proof is obtained by a bootstrap argument and maximal regularity estimates. If n≥ 10/3m, we also give another proof which does not use maximal regularity estimates.

The solvability of the interpolation by bivariate polynomials based on multivariate F-truncated powers is considered in this short note. It unifies the pointwise Lagrange interpolation by bivariate polynomials and the interpolation by bivariate polynomials based on linear integrals over segments in some sense.     

THE RESTRICTIVELY PRECONDITIONED CONJUGATE GRADIENT METHODS ON NORMAL RESIDUAL FOR BLOCK TWO-BY-TWO LINEAR SYSTEMS

The restrictively preconditioned conjugate gradient （RPCG） method is further developed to solve large sparse system of linear equations of a block two-by-two structure. The basic idea of this new approach is that we apply the RPCG method to the normal-residual equation of the block two-by-two linear system and construct each required approximate matrix by making use of the incomplete orthogonal factorization of the involved matrix blocks. Numerical experiments show that the new method, called the restrictively preconditioned conjugate gradient on normal residual （RPCGNR）, is more robust and effective than either the known RPCG method or the standard conjugate gradient on normal residual （CGNR） method when being used for solving the large sparse saddle point problems.
