A new proof of a theorem of J. Moser concerning the restricted problem of three bodies

In a recent paper [Barrar (1965)], we have shown that the result ofR. Arenstorf (1963) on the existence of periodic orbits of the second kind for the restricted problem of three bodies can be very readily obtained with the use of Delaunay or Poincaré variables. In the present paper we will show that the results ofJ. Moser (1953) can also be more readily obtained with the use of Poincaré variables.Moser, dealing with the restricted problem of three bodies, demonstrated the existence of periodic solutions that close after many revolutions and are near periodic solutions of the first kind.     

Periodic and almost periodic solutions of conservation laws: Global existence and decay

In this paper we survey recent results on the decay of periodic and almost periodic solutions of conservation laws. We also recall some recent results on the global existence of periodic solutions of conservation laws systems which lie inBV _loc and are constructed through Glimm scheme. The latter motivates a discussion on a possible strategy for solving the open problem of the global existence of periodic solutions of the Euler equations for nonisentropic gas dynamics. We base our decay analysis on a general result about space-time functions which are almost periodic in the space variable, established here for the first time. This result is an abstract version of Theorem 2.1 in [31], which in turn is an extention of the combined result given by Theorems 3.1–3.2 in [9].

EXISTENCE OF PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF A CLASS OF SECOND-ORDER NON-AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

On the existence and stability of a unique almost periodic solution of Schoener’s competition model with pure-delays and impulsive effects

In this paper, we consider an almost periodic Schoener’s competition model with delays and impulsive effects. Sufficient conditions which guarantee the permanence of the model and the existence of a unique uniformly asymptotically stable positive almost periodic solution are obtained. The result of this paper is completely new. An suitable example is employed to illustrate the feasibility of the main results.     

Almost periodicity for a class of delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous activations

The objective of this paper is to investigate the dynamics of a class of delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations. By means of retarded differential inclusions, we obtain a result on the local existence of solutions, which improves the previous related results for delayed neural networks. It is shown that an M-matrix condition satisfied by the neuron interconnections, can guarantee not only the existence and uniqueness of an almost periodic solution, but also its global exponential stability. It is also shown that the M-matrix condition ensures that all solutions of the system display a common asymptotic behavior. In this paper, we prove that the existence interval of the almost periodic solution is (?∞, +∞), whereas the existence interval is only proved to be [0, +∞) in most of the literature. As special cases, we derive the results of existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of a periodic solution for delayed neural networks with periodic coefficients, as well as the similar results of an equilibrium for the systems with constant coefficients. To the author’s knowledge, the results in this paper are the only available results on almost periodicity for Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous activations and delays.

Rate of decay of stable periodic solutions of Duffing equations

In this paper, we consider the second-order equations of Duffing type. Bounds for the derivative of the restoring force are given that ensure the existence and uniqueness of a periodic solution. Furthermore, the stability of the unique periodic solution is analyzed; the sharp rate of exponential decay is determined for a solution that is near to the unique periodic solution.     

Global attractivity and almost periodic solution of a discrete mutualism model with delays

In this paper, we consider an almost periodic discrete Lotka–Volterra mutualism model with delays. We first obtain the permanence and global attractivity of the system. By means of an almost periodic functional hull theory and constructing a suitable Lyapunov function, sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of a unique strictly positive almost periodic solution, which is globally attractive. An example together with numerical simulation indicates the feasibility of the main result. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multiplicity of positive periodic solutions to a generalized delayed predator–prey system with stocking

In this paper, by using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, the existence of multiple positive periodic solutions for a generalized delayed predator–prey system with stocking is established. When our result is applied to a delayed predator–prey system with nonmonotonic functional response and stocking, we establish the sufficient condition for the existence of multiple positive periodic solutions for the system.     

Homoclinic orbits near heteroclinic cycles with one equilibrium and one periodic orbit

We analyze homoclinic orbits near codimension-1 and -2 heteroclinic cycles between an equilibrium and a periodic orbit for ordinary differential equations in three or higher dimensions. The main motivation for this study is a self-organized periodic replication process of travelling pulses which has been observed in reaction-diffusion equations. We establish conditions for existence and uniqueness of countably infinite families of curve segments of 1-homoclinic orbits which accumulate at codimension-1 or -2 heteroclinic cycles. The main result shows the bifurcation of a number of curves of 1-homoclinic orbits from such codimension-2 heteroclinic cycles which depends on a winding number of the transverse set of heteroclinic points. In addition, a leading order expansion of the associated curves in parameter space is derived. Its coefficients are periodic with one frequency from the imaginary part of the leading stable Floquet exponents of the periodic orbit and one from the winding number.     

Nontrivial periodic solutions for strong resonance Hamiltonian systems via a local linking theorem

In this paper, we first establish an existence result of critical points for a class of functionals defined on Hilbert spaces by using a local linking idea. Then as an application of the existence result, we obtain the existence of periodic solutions of strong resonance Hamiltonian systems which are asymptotically linear both at infinity and at origin.

Shilnikov lemma for a nondegenerate critical manifold of a Hamiltonian system

Let M be a normally hyperbolic symplectic critical manifold of a Hamiltonian system. Suppose M consists of equilibria with real eigenvalues. We prove an analog of the Shilnikov lemma (strong version of the λ-lemma) describing the behavior of trajectories near M. Using this result, trajectories shadowing chains of homoclinic orbits to M are represented as extremals of a discrete variational problem. Then the existence of shadowing periodic orbits is proved. This paper is motivated by applications to the Poincaré’s second species solutions of the 3 body problem with 2 masses small of order µ. As µ → 0, double collisions of small bodies correspond to a symplectic critical manifold M of the regularized Hamiltonian system. Thus our results imply the existence of Poincaré’s second species (nearly collision) periodic solutions for the unrestricted 3 body problem.     

An existence theorem for a generalized self-dual Chern–Simons equation and its application

In this paper, we establish an existence theorem for a generalized self-dual Chern–Simons equation over a doubly periodic domain and use the existence theorem to prove the existence of doubly periodic self-dual vortices in a Maxwell–Chern–Simons model with non-minimal coupling. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solutions of the generalized Chern–Simons equation. We prove the existence result by using two methods, a super- and sub-solution method and a constrained minimization method. Our main contribution is that we find a general inequality-type constraint by using the second method and it maybe applied to some related problems with the similar structures.     

Periodic orbits of Hamiltonian systems on symmetric positive-type hypersurfaces

This paper discusses the existence and multiplicity of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian systems on symmetric positive-type hypersurfaces. We prove that each such energy hypersurface carries at least one symmetric periodic orbit. Under some suitable pinching conditions, we also get an existence result of multiple symmetric periodic orbits.     

Existence of periodic orbits and shift-invariant curve sequences near multiple homoclinics简

In this paper, the complicated dynamics is studied near a double homoclinic loops with bellows configuration for general systems. For the non-twisted multiple homoclinics, the existence of periodic orbit with the specified route and the existence of shift-invariant curve sequences defined on the cross sections of multiple homoclinics corresponding to any specified one-side infinite sequences are given. In addition, the existence regions are also located.     

Uniform persistence and periodic solutions for a discrete predator-prey system with delays

In this paper, we deal with a discrete predator-prey system with delay. We first give a sufficient condition for the uniform persistence of the system. Assuming that the coefficients in the system are periodic, by generalizing the Yoshizawa's theorem on the existence of periodic solution for ordinary differential equations to the difference equations with delays, we obtain the existence of a periodic solution basing on the uniform persistence result.

Gap solitons in periodic discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations with saturable nonlinearities

The main result of the paper concerns the existence of nontrivial exponentially decaying solutions to periodic stationary discrete nonlinear Schrödinger equations with saturable nonlinearities, provided that zero belongs to a spectral gap of the linear part. The proof is based on the critical point theory in combination with periodic approximations of solutions. As a preliminary step, we prove also the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions with arbitrarily large periods.
