New classes of nonlinearly self-adjoint evolution equations of third- and fifth-order

In a recent communication Ibragimov introduced the concept of nonlinearly self-adjoint differential equation [Ibragimov NH. Nonlinear self-adjointness and conservation laws. J Phys A Math Theor 2011;44:432002 (8pp.)]. In this paper a nonlinear self-adjoint classification of a general class of fifth-order evolution equation with time dependent coefficients is presented. As a result five subclasses of nonlinearly self-adjoint equations of fifth-order and four subclasses of nonlinearly self-adjoint equations of third-order are obtained. From the Ibragimov’s theorem on conservation laws [Ibragimov NH. A new conservation theorem. J Math Anal Appl 2007;333:311–28] conservation laws for some of these equations are established.     

Further results on global stability of third-order nonlinear differential equations

Hille and Nehari type criteria for third-order dynamic equations

In this paper, we extend the oscillation criteria that have been established by Hille [E. Hille, Non-oscillation theorems, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 64 (1948) 234-252] and Nehari [Z. Nehari, Oscillation criteria for second-order linear differential equations, Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 85 (1957) 428-445] for second-order differential equations to third-order dynamic equations on an arbitrary time scale T, which is unbounded above. Our results are essentially new even for third-order differential and difference equations, i.e., when T=R and T=N. We consider several examples to illustrate our results.

三阶线性常微分方程在天文学和流体力学等学科的研究中有着广泛的应用.本文介绍求解三阶线性常微分方程由Sinc方法离散所得到的线性方程组的结构预处理方法.首先, 我们利用Sinc方法对三阶线性常微分方程进行离散,证明了离散解以指数阶收敛到原问题的精确解.针对离散后线性方程组的系数矩阵的特殊结构, 提出了结构化的带状预处理子,并证明了预处理矩阵的特征值位于复平面上的一个矩形区域之内.然后, 我们引入新的变量将三阶线性常微分方程等价地转化为由两个二阶线性常微分方程构成的常微分方程组, 并利用Sinc方法对降阶后的常微分方程组进行离散.离散后线性方程组的系数矩阵是分块2×2的, 且每一块都是Toeplitz矩阵与对角矩阵的组合.为了利用Krylov子空间方法有效地求解离散后的线性方程组,我们给出了块对角预处理子, 并分析了预处理矩阵的性质.最后, 我们对降阶后二阶线性常微分方程组进行了一些比较研究.数值结果证实了Sinc方法能够有效地求解三阶线性常微分方程.

In this paper, we introduce the idea of dual systems of the frequency-domain method for uniform dissipativity.

Given a one-step numerical scheme,on which ordinary differential equations is it exact?

A necessary condition for a (non-autonomous) ordinary differential equation to be exactly solved by a one-step, finite difference method is that the principal term of its local truncation error be null. A procedure to determine some ordinary differential equations exactly solved by a given numerical scheme is developed. Examples of differential equations exactly solved by the explicit Euler, implicit Euler, trapezoidal rule, second-order Taylor, third-order Taylor, van Niekerk’s second-order rational, and van Niekerk’s third-order rational methods are presented.     

Local first integrals of differential systems and diffeomorphisms

In this paper using theory of linear operators and normal forms we generalize a result of Poincaré [11] about the non-existence of local first integrals for systems of differential equations in a neighbourhood of a singular point. As an application of the generalized result, and under more weak conditions we obtain a result of Furta [8] about local first integrals of semi-quasi-homogeneous systems. Moreover, for diffeomorphisms and periodic differential systems we give definitions of their first integrals, and generalize the previous results about systems of differential equations to diffeomorphisms in a neighbourhood of a fixed point and to periodic differential systems in a neighbourhood of a constant solution.

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of a weighted pseudo-almost automorphic solution for some nonhomogeneous partial functional differential equations. We use the variation of constants formula developed in Ezzinbi and N’Guérékata (2007) [11] and the spectral decomposition of the phase space to show the main result of this work. To illustrate our main result, we study the existence and uniqueness of a weighted pseudo-almost automorphic solution for some diffusion equations with delay.
