Asymptotic Properties in a Delay Differential Inequality with Periodic Coefficients

New criteria are proposed for investigating the asymptotic behavior of the delay inequality $$u^{\prime} (t) \leq - a(t) u(t) + b(t) u(t - \tau)$$ and the corresponding differential equation $$x^{\prime} (t) = - a(t) x(t) + b(t) x(t - \tau)$$ , assuming continuous and periodic coefficients, ${b(t) \geq 0}$ . Our strategy requires conditions on coefficients in average form. The presence of impulsive effects is also considered.     

Constant-Sign Periodic and Almost Periodic Solutions for a System of Integral Equations

We consider the following system of integral equations $${u_{i}(t)=\int\nolimits_{I} g_{i}(t, s)f(s, u_{1}(s), u_{2}(s), \cdots, u_{n}(s))ds, \quad t \in I, \ 1 \leq i\leq n}$$ where I is an interval of $\mathbb{R}$ . Our aim is to establish criteria such that the above system has a constant-sign periodic and almost periodic solution (u ₁, u ₂,…,u _n ) when I is an infinite interval of $\mathbb{R}$ , and a constant-sign periodic solution when I is a finite interval of $\mathbb{R}$ . The above problem is also extended to that on $\mathbb{R}$ $$u_{i} {\left( t \right)} = {\int_\mathbb{R} {g_{i} {\left( {t,s} \right)}f_{i} {\left( {s,u_{1} {\left( s \right)},u_{2} {\left( s \right)}, \cdots ,u_{n} {\left( s \right)}} \right)}ds\quad t \in \mathbb{R},\quad 1 \leqslant i \leqslant n.} }$$      

Non-resonant boundary value problems with singular {\phi} -Laplacian operators

In this paper, using Leray–Schauder degree arguments, critical point theory for lower semicontinuous functionals and the method of lower and upper solutions, we give existence results for periodic problems involving the relativistic operator ${u \mapsto \left(\frac{u^\prime}{\sqrt{1-u^\prime 2}}\right)^\prime+r(t)u}$ with ${\int_0^Tr dt\neq 0}$ . In particular we show that in this case we have non-resonance, that is periodic problem $$\left(\frac{u^\prime}{\sqrt{1-u^\prime 2}}\right)^\prime+r(t)u=e(t),\quad u(0)-u(T)=0=u^\prime(0)-u^\prime(T),$$ has at least one solution for any continuous function ${e : [0, T] \to \mathbb {R}}$ . Then, we consider Brillouin and Mathieu-Duffing type equations for which ${r(t) \equiv b_1 + b_2 {\rm cos} t {\rm and} b_1, b_2 \in \mathbb{R}}$ .     

Periodic Solutions For a Kind of Neutral Rayleigh Equations With Variable Parameter

Employing the coincidence degree theory of Mawhin we obtain some existence results of periodic solutions for a type of neutral Rayleigh equation with variable parameter $$((x(t) - c(t)x(t - \tau))'' + f(x'(t)) + g(x(t - \gamma(t))) = e(t).$$ It is worth noting that c(t) is no longer a constant which is different from the corresponding ones of past work. Furthermore, our results generalize corresponding work in the past.     

Oscillations and Convergence in an Almost Periodic Competition System

Sufficient conditions are derived for the existence of a globally attractive almost periodic solution of a competition system modelled by the nonautonomous Lotka–Volterra delay differential equations $$\begin{gathered} \frac{{{\text{d}}N_1 (t)}}{{{\text{d}}t}} = N_1 (t)\left[ {r_1 (t) - a_{11} (t)N_1 (t - \tau (t)) - a_{12} (t)N_2 (t - \tau (t))} \right], \hfill \\ \frac{{{\text{d}}N_2 (t)}}{{{\text{d}}t}} = N_2 (t)\left[ {r_2 (t) - a_{21} (t)N_1 (t - \tau (t)) - a_{22} (t)N_2 (t - \tau (t))} \right], \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ in which $ \tau ,r_i ,a_{ij} (i,j = 1,2) $ are continuous positive almost periodic functions; conditions are also obtained for all positive solutions of the above system to 'oscillate' about the unique almost periodic solution. Some ecobiological consequences of the convergence to almost periodicity and delay induced oscillations are briefly discussed.     

On the supercritical KdV equation with time-oscillating nonlinearity

For the initial value problem (IVP) associated to the generalized Korteweg–de Vries (gKdV) equation with supercritical nonlinearity, $$u_{t}+\partial_x^3u+\partial_x(u^{k+1}) =0,\qquad k\geq 5,$$ numerical evidence [3] shows that, there are initial data ${\phi\in H^1(\mathbb{R})}$ such that the corresponding solution may blow-up in finite time. Also, with the evidence from numerical simulation [1, 18], it has been claimed that a periodic time dependent coefficient in the nonlinearity would disturb the blow-up solution, either accelerating or delaying it. In this work, we investigate the IVP associated to the gKdV equation $$u_{t}+\partial_x^3u+g(\omega t)\partial_x(u^{k+1}) =0,$$ where g is a periodic function and ${k\geq 5}$ is an integer. We prove that, for given initial data ${\phi \in H^1(\mathbb{R})}$ , as ${|\omega|\to \infty}$ , the solution ${u_{\omega} }$ converges to the solution U of the initial value problem associated to $$U_{t}+\partial_x^3U+m(g)\partial_x(U^{k+1}) =0,$$ with the same initial data, where m(g) is the average of the periodic function g. Moreover, if the solution U is global and satisfies ${\|U\|_{L_x^{5}L_t^{10}}<\infty}$ , then we prove that the solution ${u_{\omega} }$ is also global provided ${|\omega|}$ is sufficiently large.     

Oscillation and global attractivity in a periodic delay hematopoiesis model

In this paper we shall consider the nonlinear delay differential equation $$p'(t) = \frac{{\beta (t)}}{{1 + p^n (t - m\omega )}} - \delta (t)p(t),$$ wherem is a positive integer, β(t) and δ(t) are positive periodic functions of period ω. In the nondelay case we shall show that (*) has a unique positive periodic solution $\bar p(t)$ , and show that $\bar p(t)$ is a global attractor all other positive solutions. In the delay case we shall present sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all positive solutions of (*) about $\bar p(t)$ , and establish sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of $\bar p(t)$ . Our results extend and improve the well known results in the autonomous case.     

On integral graphs which belong to the class\overline {\alpha K_a \cup \beta K_b }

LetG be a simple graph and let $\bar G$ denotes its complement. We say thatG is integral if its spectrum consists entirely of integers. If $\overline {\alpha K_a \cup \beta K_b } $ is integral we show that it belongs to the class of integral graphs $$\overline {[\frac{{kt}}{\tau }x_o + \frac{{mt}}{\tau }z]K(t + \ell n)k + \ell m \cup [\frac{{kt}}{\tau }y_o + \frac{{(t + \ell n)k + \ell m}}{\tau }z]nK\ell m,} $$ where (i) t, k, l, m, n ∈ ? such that (m, n) =1, (n, t) =1 and (l, t)=1; (ii) τ=((t+ln)k+lm, mt) such that τ| kt; (iii) (x₀, y₀) is aparticular solution of the linear Diophantine equation ((t+ln)k+lm)x-(mt)y=τ and (iv) z≥z₀ where z₀ is the least integer such that $(\frac{{kt}}{\tau }x_0 + \frac{{mt}}{\tau }z_0 ) \geqslant 1$ and $(\frac{{kt}}{\tau }y_0 + \frac{{(t + \ell n)k + \ell m}}{\tau }z_0 ) \geqslant 1$ .     

Necessary and sufficient condition for the unique existence of periodic solution of linear volterra equations

In this paper, we obtained the sufficient and necessary condition for the unique existence of periodic solution of the linear Volterra integro-differential equations of the form $$x'(t) = \int_0^\infty {(dE(s))x(t - s) + f(t)} $$ . We also proved that the mentioned equation has unique periodic solution is a generic property.     

Numerical computations of integrals over paths on Riemann surfaces of genusN

This paper is a continuation of work by Forest and Lee [1,2]. In [1,2] it was proved that the function theory of periodic soliton solutions occurs on the Riemann surfaces ? of genusN, where the integrals over paths on ? play the most fundamental role. In this paper a numerical method is developed to evaluate these integrals. Predisely, the aim is to develop a computational code for integrals of the form $$\int\limits_\gamma {f(z)\frac{{dz}}{{R(z)}}, or} \int\limits_\gamma {f(z)R(z)dz,} $$ wheref(z) is any single-valued analytic function on the complex planeC, andR(z) is a two-valued function onC of the form $$R^2 (z) = \prod\limits_{k = 1}^{2N + \delta } {(z - z_0 (k)), \delta = 0 or 1,} $$ where {z ₀(k),1≤k≤2N+δ} are distinct complex numbers which play the role of the branch points of the Riemann surface ? = {(z, R(z))} of genusN?1+δ. The integral path γ is continuous on ?. The numerical code is developed in “Mathematica” [3].     

Non-uniform dependence on initial data for the periodic modified Camassa–Holm equation

In this paper, we study the periodic Cauchy problem for the modified Camassa–Holm equation $$m_t+um_x+2u_xm=0,\quad m=(1-\partial_x^2)^2u$$ , and show that the solution map is not uniformly continuous in Sobolev spaces ${H^s(\mathbb T)}$ for s > 7/2. Our proof is based on the method of approximate solutions and well-posedness estimates for the actual solutions.     

Semiclassical limits of ground state solutions to Schrödinger systems

This paper is concerned with the existence and concentration properties of the ground state solutions to the following coupled Schrödinger systems $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -\varepsilon ^2\varDelta u+u+V(x)v=W(x)G_{v}(z)~\hbox { in }\ {\mathbb {R}}^N,\\ -\varepsilon ^2\varDelta v+v+V(x)u=W(x)G_{u}(z)~\hbox {in } \ {\mathbb {R}}^N,\\ u(x)\rightarrow 0\ \hbox {and }v(x)\rightarrow 0\ \hbox {as } \ |x|\rightarrow \infty , \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$ and $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} -\varepsilon ^2\varDelta u+u+V(x)v=W(x)(G_{v}(z)+|z|^{2^*-2}v)~\hbox {in } \ {\mathbb {R}}^N,\\ -\varepsilon ^2\varDelta v+v+V(x)u=W(x)(G_{u}(z)+|z|^{2^*-2}u)~\hbox {in } \ {\mathbb {R}}^N,\\ u(x)\rightarrow 0\ \hbox {and }v(x)\rightarrow 0\ \hbox {as } \ |x|\rightarrow \infty , \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$ where \(z=(u,v)\in {\mathbb {R}}^2\) , \(G\) is a power type nonlinearity, having superquadratic growth at both \(0\) and infinity but subcritical, \(V\) can be sign-changing and \(\inf W>0\) . We prove the existence, exponential decay, \(H^2\) -convergence and concentration phenomena of the ground state solutions for small \(\varepsilon >0\) .     

A Characterization of Lie Algebras of Skew-Symmetric Elements

A characterization of Lie algebras of skew-symmetric elements of associative algebras with involution is obtained. It is proved that a Lie algebra L is isomorphic to a Lie algebra of skew-symmetric elements of an associative algebra with involution if and only if L admits an additional (Jordan) trilinear operation {x,y,z} that satisfies the identities $$\{x,y,z\}=\{z,y,x\},$$ $$[[x,y],z]=\{x,y,z\}-\{y,x,z\},$$ $$[\{x,y,z\},t]=\{[x,t],y,z\}+\{x,[y,t],z\}+\{x,y,[z,t]\},$$ $$\{\{x,y,z\},t,v\}=\{\{x,t,v\},y,z\}-\{x,\{y,v,t\},z\}+\{x,y,\{z,t,v\}\},$$ where [x,y] stands for the multiplication in L.     

Differential operators determining solutions of Elliptic equations

We construct differential operatorsLg(z), Kg(z), Nf¯(z), Mf¯z) which map arbitrary functions holomorphic in a simply connected domainD of the planez=x+iy into regular solutions of the equation $$W_{z\bar z} + A(z,\bar z)W_{\bar z} + B(z,\bar z)W = 0$$ and present examples of the application of these differential operators to the solution of fundamental boundary-value problems in mathematical physics.     

Estimates of the solutions of two-point boundary-value problems for systems of first-order integrodifferential equations and the method of lines

One proves theorems on the estimates of the solutions of the systems of first-order integrodifferential equations with the boundary conditions On the basis of these theorems, one suggests a method for estimating the norms of integrodifferential equations by the method of the lines for the solutions of the periodic boundary-value problems for second-order integrodifferential equations of parabolic type. On the basis of the established theorem, on the solvability and on the estimate of the solution of the nonlinear equation $$Tx + F\left( x \right) = 0$$ in a Banach space X, where T is a linear unbounded operator, one investigates the convergence of the method of lines for solving the periodic boundary-value problem for a second-order nonlinear integrodifferential equation of parabolic type.     

Conventional penalty optimization methods

In a recent study, the effects of large penalty constants on Ritz penalty methods based on finite-element approximations used in the solution of the control of a system governed by the diffusion equation were established. The problem involves the selection of the inputu(x, t) so as to minimize the cost $$J(u) = \int_0^1 {\int_0^1 {\left\{ {u^2 (x,t) + z^2 (x,t)} \right\}dx dt,} } $$ subject to the constraint $$\partial z/\partial t = \partial ^2 z/\partial x^2 + u(x,t), 0 \leqslant x,t \leqslant 1,$$ with boundary conditions $$z(0,t) = z(1,t) = 0, 0 \leqslant t \leqslant 1,$$ and the initial state $$z(x,0) = z_0 (x), 0 \leqslant x \leqslant 1.$$ Our results verify that the Ritz penalty method exhibits good convergence properties, although the estimates for the convergence rate are cumbersome. In this paper, a conceptually simple procedure based on the conventional penalty method is presented. Some significant advantages of the method is presented. Some significant advantages of the method are the following. It allows easy estimation of its convergence rate. Furthermore, the multiplier method can be used to accelerate the rate of convergence of the method without essentially allowing the penalty constants to tend to infinity; thus, in this way, it is possible to retain the good convergence properties, an important feature which is often glossed over. The paper provides a clear mathematical analysis of how these advantages can be exploited and illustrated with numerical examples.     

3-Variable Additive {\rho} -Functional Inequalities and Equations

In this paper, we introduce and investigate additive \({\rho}\) -functional inequalities associated with the following additive functional equations $$\begin{array}{lll} \,\,\,\,\,\,\, f(x+y+z) - f(x)-f(y)-f(z) \,\,\,\, = 0 \\ 2f \left(\frac{x+y}{2}+z \right) - f(x)-f(y)-2f(z) = 0 \\ \,\,2f \left(\frac{x+y+z}{2} \right) - f(x)-f(y)-f(z) = 0\end{array}$$ Furthermore, we prove the Hyers–Ulam stability of the additive \({\rho}\) -functional inequalities in complex Banach spaces and prove the Hyers–Ulam stability of additive \({\rho}\) -functional equations associated with the additive \({\rho}\) -functional inequalities in complex Banach spaces.

In this work the initial value problem for the equation $$u_t + \beta u_x + yf(u)_x - \delta u_{xxt} = g,\forall x \in R, \forall t \in [0,T],$$ with periodic boundary conditions is interpreted in the sense of periodic distributions and studied via fixed point arguments. Weak solutions exist iff∈C ⁰ (R) andg∈L ^∞(L ²(0,1)). Moreover, regularity inf, g and the initial data implies regularity of solutions.
