Exact solitary and periodic wave solutions for a generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation

The generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation (GNLS) iu_t + u_xx + βu²u + γu⁴u + iα (u²u)_x + iτ(u²)_xu = 0 is studied. Using the bifurcation of travelling waves of this equation, some exact solitary wave solutions were obtained in [Wang W, Sun J,Chen G, Bifurcation, Exact solutions and nonsmooth behavior of solitary waves in the generalized nonlinear Schrödinger equation. Int J Bifucat Chaos 2005:3295–305.]. In this paper, more explicit exact solitary wave solutions and some new smooth periodic wave solutions are obtained.

Nonexistence results for a fractional problem arising in thermal diffusion in fractal media

We consider the Cauchy problem for the fractional differential equation

D^1+αu+D^βu=Δu+h(t,x)|u|^p

with given initial data and where p > 1, −1 < α < 1, 0 < β < 2 and β < 1 + α. Nonexistence results and necessary conditions for global existence are established by means of the test-function method. These results improve and extend previous works.     

A Schrödinger singular perturbation problem

Consider the equation −ε²Δu_ε + q(x)u_ε = f(u_ε) in , u(∞) < ∞, ε = const > 0. Under what assumptions on q(x) and f(u) can one prove that the solution u_ε exists and lim_ε→0u_ε = u(x), where u(x) solves the limiting problem q(x)u = f(u)? These are the questions discussed in the paper.     

Explicit exact solutions for a new generalized Hamiltonian amplitude equation with nonlinear terms of any order

Making use of a proper transformation and a generalized ansatz, we consider a new generalized Hamiltonian amplitude equation with nonlinear terms of any order, iu_x  +  u_tt + (|u|^p + |u|^2p)u + u_xt = 0. As a result, many explicit exact solutions, which include kink-shaped soliton solutions, bell-shaped soliton solutions, periodic wave solutions, the combined formal solitary wave solutions and rational solutions, are obtained.     

Persistence, contractivity and global stability in logistic equations with piecewise constant delays

We establish sufficient conditions for the persistence and the contractivity of solutions and the global asymptotic stability for the positive equilibrium N^*=1/(a+∑_i=0^mb_i) of the following differential equation with piecewise constant arguments:

where r(t) is a nonnegative continuous function on [0,+∞), r(t)0, ∑_i=0^mb_i>0, b_i0, i=0,1,2,…,m, and a+∑_i=0^mb_i>0. These new conditions depend on a,b₀ and ∑_i=1^mb_i, and hence these are other type conditions than those given by So and Yu (Hokkaido Math. J. 24 (1995) 269–286) and others. In particular, in the case m=0 and r(t)≡r>0, we offer necessary and sufficient conditions for the persistence and contractivity of solutions. We also investigate the following differential equation with nonlinear delay terms:

where r(t) is a nonnegative continuous function on [0,+∞), r(t)0, 1−ax−g(x,x,…,x)=0 has a unique solution x^*>0 and g(x₀,x₁,…,x_m)C¹[(0,+∞)×(0,+∞)××(0,+∞)].     

Markov-Type Inequalities for Products of Müntz Polynomials

Let Λ(λ_j)^∞_j=0 be a sequence of distinct real numbers. The span of {x^λ₀, x^λ₁, …, x^λ_n} over is denoted by M_n(Λ)span{x^λ₀, x^λ₁, …, x^λ_n}. Elements of M_n(Λ) are called Müntz polynomials. The principal result of this paper is the following Markov-type inequality for products of Müntz polynomials. T 2.1. LetΛ(λ_j)^∞_j=0andΓ(γ_j)^∞_j=0be increasing sequences of nonnegative real numbers.

On the existence and nonexistence of global solutions for the porous medium equation with strongly nonlinear sources in a cone

In this paper, we study the initial-boundary value problem of the porous medium equation u _t  = Δu ^m  + V(x)u ^p in a cone D = (0, ∞) × Ω, where V(x) ~ (1 + |x|) ^σ . Let ω ₁ denote the smallest Dirichlet eigenvalue for the Laplace–Beltrami operator on Ω and let l denote the positive root of l ² + (n − 2)l = ω ₁. We prove that if m ≤ p ≤ m + (2 + σ)/(n + l), then the problem has no global nonnegative solutions for any nonnegative u ₀ unless u ₀ = 0; if p > m + (2 + σ)/n, then the problem has global solutions for some u ₀ ≥ 0.

Uniform decay estimates for solutions of the Yamabe equation

We study positive solutions u of the Yamabe equation c_m Du-s( x) u+k( x) u^\fracm+2m-2=0{c_{m} \Delta u-s\left( x\right) u+k\left( x\right) u^{\frac{m+2}{m-2}}=0}, when k(x) > 0, on manifolds supporting a Sobolev inequality. In particular we get uniform decay estimates at infinity for u which depend on the behaviour at infinity of k, s and the L ^Γ-norm of u, for some G 3 \tfrac2mm-2{\Gamma\geq\tfrac{2m}{m-2}}. The required integral control, in turn, is implied by further geometric conditions. Finally we give an application to conformal immersions into the sphere.     

On the recursive sequence

Our aim in this paper is to investigate the global asymptotic stability of all positive solutions of the higher order nonlinear difference equation

where B, C and α, β, γ are positive, k {1, 2, 3, … }, and the initial conditions x_−2k+1, … , x₋₁, x₀ are positive real numbers. We show that the unique positive equilibrium of the equation is globally asymptotically stable and has some basins that depend on certain conditions posed on the coefficients. Our concentration is on invariant intervals, the character of semicycles, and the boundedness of the above mentioned equation. Our final comments are about informative examples.     

Stability interval for explicit difference schemes for multi-dimensional second-order hyperbolic equations with significant first-order space derivative terms

In this piece of work, we introduce a new idea and obtain stability interval for explicit difference schemes of O(k²+h²) for one, two and three space dimensional second-order hyperbolic equations u_tt=a(x,t)u_xx+α(x,t)u_x-2η²(x,t)u,u_tt=a(x,y,t)u_xx+b(x,y,t)u_yy+α(x,y,t)u_x+β(x,y,t)u_y-2η²(x,y,t)u, and u_tt=a(x,y,z,t)u_xx+b(x,y,z,t)u_yy+c(x,y,z,t)u_zz+α(x,y,z,t)u_x+β(x,y,z,t)u_y+γ(x,y,z,t)u_z-2η²(x,y,z,t)u,0<x,y,z<1,t>0 subject to appropriate initial and Dirichlet boundary conditions, where h>0 and k>0 are grid sizes in space and time coordinates, respectively. A new idea is also introduced to obtain explicit difference schemes of O(k²) in order to obtain numerical solution of u at first time step in a different manner.     

On critical Fujita exponents for heat equations with nonlinear flux conditions on the boundary

We consider nonnegative solutions of initial-boundary value problems for parabolic equationsu _t=u_xx, u_t=(u^m)_xxand (m>1) forx>0,t>0 with nonlinear boundary conditions−u _x=u^p,−(u ^m)_x=u^pand forx=0,t>0, wherep>0. The initial function is assumed to be bounded, smooth and to have, in the latter two cases, compact support. We prove that for each problem there exist positive critical valuesp ₀,p_c(withp ₀<p_c)such that forp∃(0,p ₀],all solutions are global while forp∃(p₀,p_c] any solutionu≢0 blows up in a finite time and forp>p _csmall data solutions exist globally in time while large data solutions are nonglobal. We havep _c=2,p _c=m+1 andp _c=2m for each problem, whilep ₀=1,p ₀=1/2(m+1) andp ₀=2m/(m+1) respectively.

Four types of bounded wave solutions of CH-γ equation

Recently, many authors have studied the following CH-γ equationut c0ux 3uux - α2(uxxt uuxxx 2uxuxx) γuxxx =0,where α2, c0 and γ are paramters. Its bounded wave solutions have been investigated mainly for the case α2 ＞ 0. For the case α2 ＜ 0, the existence of three bounded waves (regular solitary waves,compactons, periodic peakons) was pointed out by Dullin et al. But the proof has not been given.In this paper, not only the existence of four types of bounded waves periodic waves, compacton-like waves, kink-like waves, regular solitary waves, is shown, but also their explicit expressions or implicit expressions are given for the case α2 ＜ 0. Some planar graphs of the bounded wave solutions and their numerical simulations are given to show the correctness of our results.

In this paper, the two-dimensional generalized complex Ginzburg–Landau equation (CGL)

u_t=ρu−Δφ(u)−(1+iγ)Δu−νΔ²u−(1+iμ)|u|^2σu+αλ₁(|u|²u)+β(λ₂)|u|²

is studied. The existence of global attractor for this equation with periodic boundary condition is established and upper bounds of Hausdorff and fractal dimensions of attractor are obtained.

BV solutions to a degenerate parabolic equation for image denoising

In this article, the authors consider equation ut = div(ψ(Гu)A(|Du|2)Du) -(u- I), where ψ is strictly positive and Г is a known vector-valued mapping, A: R → R is decreasing and A(s) ～ 1/√a as s → ∞. This kind of equation arises naturally from image denoising. For an initial datum I ∈ BVloc ∩ L∞, the existence of BV solutions to the initial value problem of the equation is obtained.
