COMBINED EFFECTS IN A SEMILINEAR POLYHARMONIC PROBLEM IN THE UNIT BALL

Let m be a positive integer and B be the unit ball of Rn(n ≥ 2). We investigate the existence, uniqueness and the asymptotic behavior of a positive continuous solution to the following semilinear polyharmonic boundary value problem(-△)mu = a1(x)uα1+ a2(x)uα2, lim|x|→1u(x)(1- |x|)m-1= 0,where α1, α2 ∈(-1, 1) and a1, a2 are two nonnegative measurable functions on B satisfying some appropriate assumptions related to Karamata regular variation theory.     

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.     

EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS TO A FRACTIONAL DIFFERENCE BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM WITH PARAMETER

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.     

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.     

EXISTENCE OF THREE SOLUTIONS TO NONLINEAR DISCRETE DIRICHLET PROBLEM INVOLVING p-LAPLACIAN

In this paper, we study a nonlinear Dirichlet boundary value problem for difference equations involving the p-Laplacian with two positive parameters. One result on the existence of at least three solutions for this problem is obtained using critical point theory.     

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.     

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.     

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS OF FRACTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS WITH PARAMETER

In this paper, we consider a class of nonlinear fractional differential equation boun- dary value problem with a parameter. By some fixed point theorems, sufficient con- ditions for the existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions to the system are obtained. An example is given to illustrate the main results.     

STARLIKENESS AND SUBORDINATION PROPERTIES OF A LINEAR OPERATOR

In this paper, we introduce a new class of p-valent analytic functions defined by using a linear operator Lαk. For functions in this class Hαk(p, λ; h) we estimate the coefficients.Furthermore, some subordination properties related to the operator Lαkare also derived.     

NUMERICAL LOCALIZATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPERFECTIONS FROM A PERTURBATION FORMULA IN THREE DIMENSIONS

This work deals with the numerical localization of small electromagnetic inhomogeneities. The underlying inverse problem considers, in a three-dimensional bounded domain, the time-harmonic Maxwell equations formulated in electric field. Typically, the domain contains a finite number of unknown inhomogeneities of small volume and the inverse problem attempts to localize these inhomogeneities from a finite number of boundary measurements. Our localization approach is based on a recent framework that uses an asymptotic expansion for the perturbations in the tangential boundary trace of the curl of the electric field. We present three numerical localization procedures resulting from the combination of this asymptotic expansion with each of the following inversion algorithms： the Current Projection method, the MUltiple Signal Classification （MUSIC） algorithm, and an Inverse Fourier method. We perform a numerical study of the asymptotic expansion and compare the numerical results obtained from the three localization procedures in different settings.     

THE CAUCHY PROBLEM OF THE HARTREE EQUATION

In this paper, we systematically study the wellposedness, illposedness of the Hartree equation, and obtain the sharp local wellposedness, the global existence in Hs, s≥1 and the small scattering result in Hs for 2 〈γ〈 n and s ≥ 2/γ - 1. In addition, we study the nonexistence of nontrivial asymptotically free solutions of the Hartree equation.     

The complexity and randomness of linear multi-secret sharing schemes with non-threshold structures

In a linear multi-secret sharing scheme with non-threshold structures, several secret values are shared among n participants, and every secret value has a specified access structure. The efficiency of a multi- secret sharing scheme is measured by means of the complexity a and the randomness . Informally, the com- plexity a is the ratio between the maximum of information received by each participant and the minimum of information corresponding to every key. The randomness is the ratio between the amount of information distributed to the set of users U = {1, …, n} and the minimum of information corresponding to every key. In this paper, we discuss a and of any linear multi-secret sharing schemes realized by linear codes with non-threshold structures, and provide two algorithms to make a and to be the minimum, respectively. That is, they are optimal.     

A Nonlinear Diffusion System with Coupled Nonlinear Boundary Flux

This paper studies a nonlinear diffusion system with coupled nonlinear boundary flux and two kinds of inner sources （positive for the first and negative for the second）, where the four nonlinear mechanisms are described by eight nonlinear parameters. The critical exponent of the system is determined by a complete classification of the eight nonlinear parameters, which is represented via the characteristic algebraic system introduced to the problem.

The Lie-group formalism is applied to investigate the symmetries of the modified Boussinesq system with variable coefficients. We derived the infinitesimals and the admissible forms of the coefficients that admit the classical symmetry group. The reduced systems of ordinary differential equations deduced from the optimal system of subalgebras are further studied and some exact solutions are obtained.     

On Global Smooth Solution of A Semi-Linear System of Wave Equations in IR^3

In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem for a semi-linear system of wave equations with Hamilton structure. We prove the existence of global smooth solution of the system for subcritical case by using conservation of energy and Strichartz＇s estimate. On the basis of Morawetz-Pohozev identity, we obtain the same result for the critical case.     

UNSTABLE SOLUTIONS TO A CLASS OF VECTOR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS OF SIXTH ORDER

In this paper, we consider a class of nonlinear vector differential equations of sixth order. By constructing appropriate Lyapunov functions, the non-existence of periodic solutions is established. Moreover, we provide an example to show the feasibility of our results. Our results extend and improve two related results in the previous literature from scalar cases to vectorial cases.     

NON-CONFLICTING ORDERING CONES AND VECTOR OPTIMIZATION IN INDUCTIVE LIMITS

Let(E, ξ) = ind(En, ξn) be an inductive limit of a sequence(En, ξn)n∈N of locally convex spaces and let every step(En, ξn) be endowed with a partial order by a pointed convex(solid) cone Sn. In the framework of inductive limits of partially ordered locally convex spaces,the notions of lastingly efficient points, lastingly weakly efficient points and lastingly globally properly efficient points are introduced. For several ordering cones, the notion of non-conflict is introduced. Under the requirement that the sequence(Sn)n∈N of ordering cones is nonconflicting, an existence theorem on lastingly weakly efficient points is presented. From this,an existence theorem on lastingly globally properly efficient points is deduced.     

THE SENSITIVITY OF THE EXPONENTIAL OF AN ESSENTIALLY NONNEGATIVE MATRIX

This paper performs perturbation analysis for the exponential of an essentially nonnegative matrix which is perturbed in the way that each entry has a small relative perturbation. For a general essentially nonnegative matrix, we obtain an upper bound for the relative error in 2-norm, which is sharper than the existing perturbation results. For a triangular essentially nonnegative matrix, we obtain an upper bound for the relative error in entrywise sense. This bound indicates that, if the spectral radius of an essentially nonnegative matrix is not large, then small entrywise relative perturbations cause small relative error in each entry of its exponential. Finally, we apply our perturbation results to the sensitivity analysis of RC networks and complementary distribution functions of phase-type distributions.     

An Image Denoising-Deblurring Adaptive Variational Problem in BV Space

In this paper, we establish the existence and uniqueness of a BV solution to an initial boundary value problem for a nonlinear integro-differential equation, which is related to a denoising and deblurring variational model in image restoration. Several experiments relevant to the restoration model are performed and numerical results are discussed.
