Periodic Solutions of Third-order Differential Equations with Finite Delay in Vector-valued Functional Spaces

In this paper, we study the well-posedness of the third-order differential equation with finite delay(P_3): αu'"(t) + u"(t) = Au(t) + Bu'(t) + Fut +f(t)(t ∈ T := [0,2π]) with periodic boundary conditions u(0) = u(2π), u'(0) = u"(2π),u"(0)=u"(2π) in periodic Lebesgue-Bochner spaces Lp(T;X) and periodic Besov spaces B_(p,q)~s(T;X), where A and B are closed linear operators on a Banach space X satisfying D(A) ∩ D(B) ≠ {0}, α≠ 0 is a fixed constant and F is a bounded linear operator from Lp([-2π, 0]; X)(resp. Bp,qs([-2π, 0]; X)) into X, ut is given by ut(s) = u(t + s) when s ∈ [-2π,0]. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the Lp-well-posedness(resp. B_(p,q)~s-well-posedness)of(P_3) are given in the above two function spaces. We also give concrete examples that our abstract results may be applied.     

Boundary value problems for a quasilinear parabolic equation with an unknown coefficient

The work is connected with the mathematical modeling of physical–chemical processes in which inner characteristics of materials are subjected to changes. The considered nonlinear parabolic models consist of a boundary value problem for a quasilinear parabolic equation with an unknown coefficient multiplying the derivative with respect to time and, moreover, involve an additional relationship for a time dependence of this coefficient. For such a system, conditions of unique solvability in a class of smooth functions are studied on the basis of the Rothe method. The proposed approach involves the proof of a priori estimates in the difference-continuous Hölder spaces for the corresponding differential-difference nonlinear system that approximates the original system by the Rothe method. These estimates allow one to establish the existence of the smooth solutions and to obtain the error estimates of the approximate solutions.As examples of applications of the considered nonlinear boundary value problems, the models of destruction of heat-protective composite under the influence of high temperature heating are discussed.     

Lower bound for the ratios of eigenvalues of Schrödinger with nonpositive single‐barrier potentials

Horváth and Kiss (Proc. Amer. Math. Soc., 2005) proved the upper bound estimate for Dirichlet eigenvalue ratios of the Schrödinger problem ?y^′′ + q(x)y = λy with nonnegative and single‐well potential q. In this paper, we prove that if q(x) is a nonpositive, continuous, and single‐barrier potential, then for λ_n > λ_m≥ ? 2q^?, where . In particular, if q(x) satisfies the additional condition , then λ₁ > 0 and for n > m ≥ 1. For this result, we develop a new approach to study the monotonicity of the modified Prüfer angle function.     

Harnack's inequality for parabolic nonlocal equations

The main result of this paper is a nonlocal version of Harnack's inequality for a class of parabolic nonlocal equations. We additionally establish a weak Harnack inequality as well as local boundedness of solutions. None of the results require the solution to be globally positive.     

A note on uniqueness of the ground state for nonlinear Schrödinger equations

We are concerned with the following nonlinear Schrödinger equation $-{\epsilon }^2\Delta u+V\left(x\right)u={\left|u\right|}^{p-2}u,u\in H^1\left({\mathbb{R}}^N\right),$where $N\ge 3$, $2<p<\frac{2N}{N-2}$. For $\epsilon$ small enough and a class of $V\left(x\right)$, we show the uniqueness of the positive ground state under certain assumptions on asymptotic behavior of $V\left(x\right)$ and its first derivatives. Here our results are suitable for a kind of $V\left(x\right)$ which has different increasing rates at different directions.

On nonlinear boundary value problem corresponding to N-dimensional inverse spectral problem

We establish a relationship between an inverse optimization spectral problem for the N-dimensional Schrödinger equation $?\mathrm{\Delta }?+q(x)?=\lambda ?$ and a solution of the nonlinear boundary value problem $?\mathrm{\Delta }u+q(x)u=\lambda u?u^{\gamma ?1},u>0,u{|}_{?\mathrm{\Omega }}=0$. Using this relationship, we find an exact solution for the inverse optimization spectral problem, investigate its stability and obtain new results on the existence and uniqueness of the solution for the nonlinear boundary value problem.
