where ? > 0 is a small parameter, f(x, u) ∈ C ^∞ ([0, d] × ?), R ₀ > 0, and the following conditions are satisfied: f(x, u) = x ? u ^p + O(x ² + |xu| + |u|^p+1) as x, u → 0, where p ∈ ? \ {1} f(x, 0) > 0 for x > 0; f _u ²(x, u) < 0 for (x, u) ∈ [0, d] × (0, + ∞); Σ ₀ ^+∞ f _u ²(x, u) du = ?∞. We construct three asymptotic expansions (external, internal, and intermediate) and prove that the matched asymptotic expansion approximates the solution uniformly on the entire interval [0, d].

The properties of the root functions are studied for an arbitrary operator generated in L ₂(?1, 1) by the operation with involution of the form Lu = ?u″(x)+αu″(?x)+q(x)u(x)+ qν(x)u(ν(x)), where α ∈ (?1, 1), ν(x) is an absolutely continuous involution of the segment [?1, 1] and the coefficients q(x) and qν(x) are summable functions on (?1, 1).

Existence and concentration behavior of sign-changing solutions for quasilinear Schrödinger equations

We consider the quasilinear Schrödinger equations of the form ?ε²Δu + V(x)u ? ε²Δ(u²)u = g(u), x∈ R^N, where ε > 0 is a small parameter, the nonlinearity g(u) ∈ C¹(R) is an odd function with subcritical growth and V(x) is a positive Hölder continuous function which is bounded from below, away from zero, and inf_ΛV(x) < inf?_ΛV(x) for some open bounded subset Λ of R^N. We prove that there is an ε₀ > 0 such that for all ε ∈ (0, ε₀], the above mentioned problem possesses a sign-changing solution uε which exhibits concentration profile around the local minimum point of V(x) as ε → 0⁺.     

A Riemann-Hilbert Approach to the Chen-Lee-Liu Equation on the Half Line

In this paper, the Fokas unified method is used to analyze the initial-boundary value for the Chen- Lee-Liu equation

$i{\partial _t}u + {\partial_{xx}u - i |u{|^2}{\partial _x}u = 0}$

on the half line (?∞, 0] with decaying initial value. Assuming that the solution u(x, t) exists, we show that it can be represented in terms of the solution of a matrix Riemann-Hilbert problem formulated in the plane of the complex spectral parameter λ. The jump matrix has explicit (x, t) dependence and is given in terms of the spectral functions {a(λ), b(λ)} and {A(λ), B(λ)}, which are obtained from the initial data u₀(x) = u(x, 0) and the boundary data g₀(t) = u(0, t), g₁(t) = u_x(0, t), respectively. The spectral functions are not independent, but satisfy a so-called global relation.
