Propagation Phenomena for A Reaction–Advection–Diffusion Competition Model in A Periodic Habitat

This paper is devoted to the study of propagation phenomena for a Lotka–Volterra reaction–advection–diffusion competition model in a periodic habitat. We first investigate the global attractivity of a semi-trivial steady state for the periodic initial value problem. Then we establish the existence of the rightward spreading speed and its coincidence with the minimal wave speed for spatially periodic rightward traveling waves. We also obtain a set of sufficient conditions for the rightward spreading speed to be linearly determinate. Finally, we apply the obtained results to a prototypical reaction–diffusion model.     

Almost Periodic Solutions and Global Attractors of Non-autonomous Navier–Stokes Equations

The article is devoted to the study of non-autonomous Navier–Stokes equations. First, the authors have proved that such systems admit compact global attractors. This problem is formulated and solved in the terms of general non-autonomous dynamical systems. Second, they have obtained conditions of convergence of non-autonomous Navier–Stokes equations. Third, a criterion for the existence of almost periodic (quasi periodic, almost automorphic, recurrent, pseudo recurrent) solutions of non-autonomous Navier–Stokes equations is given. Finally, the authors have derived a global averaging principle for non-autonomous Navier–Stokes equations.     

Homogenization of a Hele–Shaw Problem in Periodic and Random Media

We investigate the homogenization limit of a free boundary problem with space-dependent free boundary velocities. The problem under consideration has a well-known obstacle problem transformation, formally obtained by integrating with respect to the time variable. By making rigorous the link between these two problems, we are able to derive an explicit formula for the homogenized free boundary velocity, and we establish the uniform convergence of the free boundaries.     

Periodic orbits for the generalized Yang–Mills Hamiltonian system in dimension 6

We apply the averaging theory to study a generalized Yang–Mills Hamiltonian system in dimension $6$ with six parameters. We provide sufficient conditions on the six parameters of the system which guarantee the existence of continuous families of period orbits parameterized by the energy.     

Periodic and Solitary Travelling Waves in Infinite Lattices without Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz Condition

In this paper, we consider FPU lattices with particles of unit mass. The dynamics of the system is described by the infinite system of second order differential equations

$$\begin{aligned} \ddot{q}_n= U^{\prime }(q_{n+1}-q_n)-U^{\prime }(q_n-q_{n-1}),\quad n\in \mathbb {Z}, \end{aligned}$$

where \(q_n\) denotes the displacement of the \(n\)-th lattice site and \(U\) is the potential of interaction between two adjacent particles. We investigate the existence of two kinds travelling wave solutions: periodic and solitary ones under some growth conditions on \(U\) which is different from the widely used Ambrosetti–Rabinowitz condition.

     

Periodic Motions of Stokes and Navier–Stokes Flows Around a Rotating Obstacle

We prove the existence and uniqueness of periodic motions to Stokes and Navier–Stokes flows around a rotating obstacle \({D \subset \mathbb{R}^3}\) with the complement \({\Omega = \mathbb{R}^3 \backslash D}\) being an exterior domain. In our strategy, we show the C _b -regularity in time for the mild solutions to linearized equations in the Lorentz space \({L^{3,\infty}(\Omega)}\) (known as weak-L ³ spaces) and prove a Massera-typed Theorem on the existence and uniqueness of periodic mild solutions to the linearized equations in weak-L ³ spaces. We then use the obtained results for such equations and the fixed point argument to prove such results for Navier–Stokes equations around a rotating obstacle. We also show the stability of such periodic solutions.

Orbital Stability of Periodic Peakons to a Generalized μ-Camassa–Holm Equation

In this paper, we study the orbital stability of the periodic peaked solitons of the generalized μ-Camassa–Holm equation with nonlocal cubic and quadratic nonlinearities. The equation is a μ-version of a linear combination of the Camassa–Holm equation and the modified Camassa–Holm equation. It is also integrable with the Lax-pair and bi-Hamiltonian structure and admits the single peakons and multi-peakons. By constructing an inequality related to the maximum and minimum of solutions with the conservation laws, we prove that, even in the case that the Camassa–Holm energy counteracts in part the modified Camassa–Holm energy, the shapes of periodic peakons are still orbitally stable under small perturbations in the energy space.     

Some Exactly Solvable Problems of the Radiation of Three–Dimensional Periodic Internal Waves

An exact solution of the problem of the generation of three–dimensional periodic internal waves in an exponentially stratified, viscous fluid is constructed in a linear approximation. The wave source is an arbitrary part of the surface of a vertical circular cylinder which moves in radial, azimuthal, and vertical directions. Solutions satisfying exact boundary conditions, describe both the beam of outgoing waves and wave boundary layers of two types: internal boundary layers, whose thickness depends on the buoyancy frequency and the geometry of the problem, and viscous boundary layers, which, as in a homogeneous fluid, are determined by kinematic viscosity and frequency. Asymptotic solutions are derived in explicit form for cylinders of large, intermediate, and small dimensions relative to the natural scales of the problem.

Periodic solutions and homoclinic bifurcation of a predator–prey system with two types of harvesting

In this paper, a predator–prey model with both constant rate harvesting and state dependent impulsive harvesting is analyzed. By using differential equation geometry theory and the method of successor functions, the existence, uniqueness and stability of the order one periodic solution have been studied. Sufficient conditions which guarantee the nonexistence of order k (k≥2) periodic solution are given. We also present that the system exhibits the phenomenon of homoclinic bifurcation under some parametric conditions. Finally, some numerical simulations and biological explanations are given.     

Periodic solution and heteroclinic bifurcation in a predator–prey system with Allee effect and impulsive harvesting

In this article, we investigate a prey– predator model with Allee effect and state-dependent impulsive harvesting. We obtain the sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of order-1 periodic solution of system (1.2) by means of the geometry theory of semicontinuous dynamic system and the method of successor function. We also obtain that system (1.2) exhibits the phenomenon of heteroclinic bifurcation about parameter $\alpha $ . The methods used in this article are novel and prove the existence of order-1 periodic solution and heteroclinic bifurcation.     

Existence and Homogenisation of Travelling Waves Bifurcating from Resonances of Reaction–Diffusion Equations in Periodic Media

The existence of travelling wave type solutions is studied for a scalar reaction diffusion equation in \(\mathbb {R}^2\) with a nonlinearity which depends periodically on the spatial variable. We treat the coefficient of the linear term as a parameter and we formulate the problem as an infinite spatial dynamical system. Using a centre manifold reduction we obtain a finite dimensional dynamical system on the centre manifold with fully degenerate linear part. By phase space analysis and Conley index methods we find conditions on the parameter and nonlinearity for the existence of travelling wave type solutions with particular wave speeds. The analysis provides an approach to the homogenisation problem as the period of the periodic dependence in the nonlinearity tends to zero.     

Existence and Stability of Time Periodic Solution to the Compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg System on $${\mathbb{R}^3}$$

The compressible Navier–Stokes–Korteweg system is considered on \({\mathbb{R}^3}\) when the external force is periodic in the time variable. The existence of a time periodic solution is proved for a sufficiently small external force by using the time-T-map related to the linearized problem around the motionless state with constant density and absolute temperature. The spectral properties of the time-T-map is investigated by a potential theoretic method and an energy method in some weighted spaces. The stability of the time periodic solution is proved for sufficiently small initial perturbations. It is also shown that the \({L^\infty}\) norm of the perturbation decays as time goes to infinity.     

On the Existence of Periodic Solutions of the Navier–Stokes Equations in a Thin Domain Using the Topological Degree

We use the method of the topological degree, the theory of fractional powers of positive operators, and the Grisvard formula together with results proved by G. Raugel and G. R. Sell to study the periodic solutions of the incompressible Navier–Stokes equations in a thin three-dimensional domain.     

On the Existence and Stability of Time Periodic Solution to the Compressible Navier–Stokes Equation on the Whole Space

The existence of a time periodic solution of the compressible Navier–Stokes equation on the whole space is proved for a sufficiently small time periodic external force when the space dimension is greater than or equal to 3. The proof is based on the spectral properties of the time-T-map associated with the linearized problem around the motionless state with constant density in some weighted L ^∞ and Sobolev spaces. The time periodic solution is shown to be asymptotically stable under sufficiently small initial perturbations and the L ^∞ norm of the perturbation decays as time goes to infinity.     

Decay of Almost Periodic Solutions¶of Conservation Laws

We consider the asymptotic behavior of solutions of systems of inviscid or viscous conservation laws in one or several space variables, which are almost periodic in the space variables in a generalized sense introduced by Stepanoff and Wiener, which extends the original one of H. Bohr. We prove that if u(x,t) is such a solution whose inclusion intervals at time t, with respect to ?>0, satisfy l _epsiv;(t)/t→0 as t→∞, and such that the scaling sequence u ^T (x,t)=u(T x,T t) is pre-compact as t→∞ in L _loc ¹(? ^{d +1} ₊, then u(x,t) decays to its mean value \(\), which is independent of t, as t→∞. The decay considered here is in L ¹ _loc of the variable ξ≡x/t, which implies, as we show, that \(\) as t→∞, where M _x denotes taking the mean value with respect to x. In many cases we show that, if the initial data are almost periodic in the generalized sense, then so also are the solutions. We also show, in these cases, how to reduce the condition on the growth of the inclusion intervals l _?(t) with t, as t→∞, for fixed ? > 0, to a condition on the growth of l _?(0) with ?, as ?→ 0, which amounts to imposing restrictions only on the initial data. We show with a simple example the existence of almost periodic (non-periodic) functions whose inclusion intervals satisfy any prescribed growth condition as ?→ 0. The applications given here include inviscid and viscous scalar conservation laws in several space variables, some inviscid systems in chromatography and isentropic gas dynamics, as well as many viscous 2 × 2 systems such as those of nonlinear elasticity and Eulerian isentropic gas dynamics, with artificial viscosity, among others. In the case of the inviscid scalar equations and chromatography systems, the class of initial data for which decay results are proved includes, in particular, the L ^∞ generalized limit periodic functions. Our procedures can be easily adapted to provide similar results for semilinear and kinetic relaxations of systems of conservation laws.
