Inequalities relating to Lp-version of Petty＇s conjectured projection inequality

Petty＇s conjectured projection inequality is a famous open problem in the theory of convex bodies. In this paper, it is shown that an inequality relating to Lp-version of the Petty＇s conjectured projection inequality is developed by using the notions of the Lp-mixed volume and the Lp-dual mixed volume, the relation of the Lp-projection body and the geometric body Г-pK, the Bourgain-Milman inequality and the Lp-Bnsemann-Petty inequality. In addition, for each origin-symmetric convex body, by applying the Jensen inequality and the monotonicity of the geometric body Г-pK, the reverses of Lp-version of the Petty＇s conjectured projection inequality and the Lp-Petty projection inequality are given, respectively.     

Delay-independent exponential stability of stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with time-varying delays and reaction–diffusion terms

Different from the approaches used in the earlier papers, in this paper, the Halanay inequality technique, in combination with the Lyapunov method, is exploited to establish a delay-independent sufficient condition for the exponential stability of stochastic Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with time-varying delays and reaction–diffusion terms. Moreover, for the deterministic delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural networks, with or without reaction–diffusion terms, sufficient criteria for their global exponential stability are also obtained. The proposed results improve and extend those in the earlier literature and are easier to verify. An example is also given to illustrate the correctness of our results.     

A Unified Approach to Dynamic Contact Problems in Viscoelasticity

In this paper we consider mathematical models describing dynamic viscoelastic contact problems with the Kelvin–Voigt constitutive law and subdifferential boundary conditions. We treat evolution hemivariational inequalities which are weak formulations of contact problems. We establish the existence of solutions to hemivariational inequalities with different types of non-monotone multivalued boundary relations. These results are consequences of an existence theorem for second order evolution inclusions. In a particular case we deliver sufficient conditions under which the solution to a hemivariational inequality is unique. Finally, applications to several unilateral and bilateral problems in contact mechanics are provided.*Research supported in part by the State Committee for Scientific Research of the Republic of Poland (KBN) under Grants no. 2 P03A 003 25 and 4 T07A 027 26.     

Adaptive synchronization of chaotic systems with less measurement and actuation

We investigate the synchronization problem between identical chaotic systems only when necessary measurement(output) and actuation(input) are needed to be implemented by the adaptive controllers. A sufficient condition is derived based on the Lyapunov stability theory and Schur complementary lemma. Moreover, the theoretic result is applied to the Rikitake system and the hyperchaotic Liu system to show its effectiveness and correctness. Numerical simulations are presented to verify the results.     

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.     

Controllability results for the Moore–Gibson–Thompson equation arising in nonlinear acoustics

We show that the Moore–Gibson–Thomson equation

$\tau {?}_{ttt}y+\alpha {?}_{tt}y?c^2\mathrm{\Delta }y?b\mathrm{\Delta }{?}_{t}y=k{?}_{tt}(y^2)+{\chi }_{\omega (t)}u,$

is controlled by a force that is supported on an moving subset $\omega (t)$ of the domain, satisfying a geometrical condition. Using the concept of approximately outer invertible map, a generalized implicit function theorem and assuming that $\gamma :=\alpha ?\frac{\tau c^2}{b}>0$, the local null controllability in the nonlinear case is established. Moreover, the analysis of the critical value $\gamma =0$ for the linear equation is included.     

Bi-Sobolev solutions to the prescribed Jacobian inequality in the plane with Lp data and applications to nonlinear elasticity

We construct planar bi-Sobolev mappings whose local volume distortion is bounded from below by a given function $f\in L^p$ with $p>1$. More precisely, for any $1<q<(p+1)/2$ we construct $W^{1,q}$-bi-Sobolev maps with identity boundary conditions; for $f\in L^{\infty }$, we provide bi-Lipschitz maps. The basic building block of our construction are bi-Lipschitz maps which stretch a given compact subset of the unit square by a given factor while preserving the boundary. The construction of these stretching maps relies on a slight strengthening of the celebrated covering result of Alberti, Csörnyei, and Preiss for measurable planar sets in the case of compact sets. We apply our result to a model functional in nonlinear elasticity, the integrand of which features fast blowup as the Jacobian determinant of the deformation becomes small. For such functionals, the derivation of the equilibrium equations for minimizers requires an additional regularization of test functions, which our maps provide.

Let be the class of all sense‐preserving homeomorphic self‐mappings of . The aim of this paper is twofold. First, we obtain Heinz‐type inequality for (K,K′)‐quasiconformal mappings satisfying inhomogeneous biharmonic equation Δ(Δω) = g in unit disk with associated boundary value conditions and . Second, we establish biLipschitz continuity for (K,K′)‐quasiconformal mappings satisfying aforementioned inhomogeneous biharmonic equation when and are small enough.
