Lyapunov inequalities for nabla Caputo boundary value problems

ABSTRACT

We will establish uniqueness of solutions to boundary value problems involving the nabla Caputo fractional difference under two-point boundary conditions and give an explicit expression for the Green's functions for these problems. Using the Green's functions for specific cases of these boundary value problems, we will then develop Lyapunov inequalities for certain nabla Caputo BVPs.     

Existence and Uniqueness Theorem of the Solution to a Class of Nonlinear Nabla Fractional Difference System with a Time Delay

In this paper, we investigate an existence and uniqueness theorem of the solution to a class of nonlinear nabla fractional difference system with a time delay. More precisely, observing \(\nu (t-k)^{\overline{\nu -1}}\le {t^{\bar{\nu }}}\), we get the evaluation of \(\nabla _{a+k}^{-\nu } ||z(t-k)||\), which allows us to apply the generalized Gronwall’s inequality for the solutions of nonlinear nabla fractional difference system. The theorems we establish fill the gaps in some existing papers.     

Some results on linear nabla Riemann-Liouville fractional difference equations

In this paper, we establish some criteria for boundedness, stability properties, and separation of solutions of autonomous nonlinear nabla Riemann-Liouville scalar fractional difference equations. To derive these results, we prove the variation of constants formula for nabla Riemann-Liouville fractional difference equations.     

Global well-posedness for 3D generalized Navier-Stokes-Boussinesq equations

In this paper, we study the Cauchy problem for the 3D generalized Navier-Stokes-Boussinesq equations with fractional diffusion:

$$\left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}{{u_t} + \left( {u \cdot \nabla } \right)u + v{\Lambda ^{2a}}u = -\nabla p + \theta {e_3},\;{e_3} = {{\left( {0,0,1} \right)}^T},} \\ {{\theta _t} + \left( {u \cdot \nabla } \right)t = 0,} \\ {Divu = 0.} \end{array}} \right.$$

With the help of the smoothing effect of the fractional diffusion operator and a logarithmic estimate, we prove the global well-posedness for this system with α ≥ 5/4. Moreover, the uniqueness and continuity of the solution with weaker initial data is based on Fourier localization technique. Our results extend ones on the 3D Navier-Stokes equations with fractional diffusion.

     

Ulam‐Hyers stability of Caputo fractional difference equations

We study the Ulam‐Hyers stability of linear and nonlinear nabla fractional Caputo difference equations on finite intervals. Our main tool used is a recently established generalized Gronwall inequality, which allows us to give some Ulam‐Hyers stability results of discrete fractional Caputo equations. We present two examples to illustrate our main results.

Asymptotic behavior of nabla half order $h$-difference equations

In this paper we study the half order nabla fractional difference equation $ _{\rho(a)}\nabla^{0.5}_{h}x(t)=cx(t), ~ t\in(h\N)_{a+h},$ where $_{\rho(a)}\nabla^{0.5}_hx(t)$ denotes the Riemann-Liouville nabla half order $h$-difference of $x(t)$. We will establish the asymptotic behavior of the solutions of this equation satisfying $x(a)=A>0$ for various values of the constant $c$.     

Elliptic systems with measurable coefficients of the type of Lamé system in three dimensions

We study the 3×3 elliptic systems ∇(a(x)∇×u)−∇(b(x)∇⋅u)=f, where the coefficients a(x) and b(x) are positive scalar functions that are measurable and bounded away from zero and infinity. We prove that weak solutions of the above system are Hölder continuous under some minimal conditions on the inhomogeneous term f. We also present some applications and discuss several related topics including estimates of the Green?s functions and the heat kernels of the above systems.     

Existence and Non-existence of Positive Solutions for a Discrete Fractional Boundary Value Problem

In this work, we deal with two-point boundary problem for a finite nabla fractional difference equation. First, we establish an associated Green''s function and state some of its properties. Under suitable conditions, we deduce the existence and non-existence of positive solutions to the considered problem. Finally, we construct a few examples to illustrate the established results.     

Hadamard-type fractional differential equations for the system of integral inequalities on time scales

ABSTRACT

This paper investigates some system of integral inequalities of one independent variable on time scales. The conclusion can be obtained by using Hadamard-type fractional differential equations and Greene's method which bring together and expand some integral inequalities on time scales. The established inequalities give explicit bounds on unknown functions which can be utilized as a key in examining the properties of certain classes of partial dynamic equations and difference equations on time scales. As an application, a system of fractional differential equations is considered to explain the value of our results.

Numericals for total variation-based reconstruction of motion blurred images

In this paper image with horizontal motion blur, vertical motion blur and angled motion blur are considered. We construct several difference schemes to the highly nonlinear term ·(u)/((|u|)～(1/2)2+β) of the total variation-based image motion deblurring problem. The large nonlinear system is linearized by fixed point iteration method. An algebraic multigrid method with Krylov subspace acceleration is used to solve the corresponding linear equations as in [7]. The algorithms can restore the image very well. We give some numerical experiments to demonstrate that our difference schemes are efficient and robust.     

Existence of a unique solution to a quasilinear elliptic equation

The purpose of this paper is to prove the existence of a unique classical solution u(x) to the quasilinear elliptic equation −∇⋅(a(u)∇u)+v⋅∇u=f, where u(x₀)=u₀ at x₀∈Ω and where n⋅∇u=g on the boundary ∂Ω. We prove that if the functions a, f, v, g satisfy certain conditions, then a unique classical solution u(x) exists. Applications include stationary heat/diffusion problems with convection and with a source/sink, where the value of the solution is known at a spatial location x₀∈Ω, and where n⋅∇u is known on the boundary.

Holomorphic spectral geometry of magnetic Schrödinger operators on Riemann surfaces

We study magnetic Schrödinger operators on line bundles over Riemann surfaces endowed with metrics of constant curvature. We show that for harmonic magnetic fields the spectral geometry of these operators is completely determined by the Bochner Laplacians of the line bundles. Therefore we are led to examine the spectral problem for the Bochner Laplacian ∇^∗∇ of a Hermitian line bundle L with connection ∇ over a Riemann surface S. This spectral problem is analyzed in terms of the natural holomorphic structure on L defined by the Cauchy-Riemann operator associated with ∇. By means of an elliptic chain of line bundles obtained by twisting L with the powers of the canonical bundle we prove that there exists a certain subset of the spectrum σhol(∇^∗∇) such that the eigensections associated with λ∈σhol(∇^∗∇) are given by the holomorphic sections of a certain line bundle of the elliptic chain. For genus p=0,1 we prove that σhol(∇^∗∇) is the whole spectrum, whereas for genus p>1 we get a finite number of eigenvalues.     

Convergence of a finite-element approximation of surfactant spreading on a thin film in the presence of van der Waals forces

We consider a fully practical finite-element approximationof the following system of nonlinear degenerate parabolic equations: (u)/(t) + . (u² [(v)]) - (1)/(3) .(u³ w)= 0, w = - c u - u^-+ a u^-3 , (v)/(t) + . (u v [(v)]) - v - .(u² v w) = 0. The above models a surfactant-driven thin-film flow in the presenceof both attractive, a>0, and repulsive, >0 with >3,van der Waals forces; where u is the height of the film, v isthe concentration of the insoluble surfactant monolayer and(v):=1-v is the typical surface tension. Here 0 and c>0 arethe inverses of the surface Peclet number and the modified capillarynumber. In addition to showing stability bounds for our approximation,we prove convergence, and hence existence of a solution to thisnonlinear degenerate parabolic system, (i) in one space dimensionwhen >0; and, moreover, (ii) in two space dimensions if inaddition 7. Furthermore, iterative schemes for solving the resultingnonlinear discrete system are discussed. Finally, some numericalexperiments are presented.
