Inhomogeneous degenerate Sobolev type equations with delay

Under consideration is the first order linear inhomogeneous differential equation in an abstract Banach space with a degenerate operator at the derivative, a relatively p-radial operator at the unknown function, and a continuous delay operator. We obtain conditions of unique solvability of the Cauchy problem and the Showalter problem by means of degenerate semigroup theory methods. These general results are applied to the initial boundary value problems for systems of integrodifferential equations of the type of phase field equations.     

Degenerate non-stationary differential equations with delay in Banach spaces

A generalization of the operator method by Grisvard is used to ensure weak and strict solutions to some degenerate differential equations with delay in Banach spaces, whose operator coefficients are time depending. Some applications to ordinary and partial differential equations with delay are described.     

Sufficient conditions for the eventual strong Feller property for degenerate stochastic evolutions

The strong Feller property is an important quality of Markov semigroups which helps for example in establishing uniqueness of invariant measure. Unfortunately degenerate stochastic evolutions, such as stochastic delay equations, do not possess this property. However the eventual strong Feller property is sufficient in establishing uniqueness of invariant probability measure. In this paper we provide operator theoretic conditions under which a stochastic evolution equation with additive noise possesses the eventual strong Feller property. The results are used to establish uniqueness of invariant probability measure for stochastic delay equations and stochastic partial differential equations with delay, with an application in neural networks.     

Pathwise Stability of Degenerate Stochastic Evolutions

For linear stochastic evolution equations with linear multiplicative noise, a new method is presented for estimating the pathwise Lyapunov exponent. The method consists of finding a suitable (quadratic) Lyapunov function by means of solving an operator inequality. One of the appealing features of this approach is the possibility to show stabilizing effects of degenerate noise. The results are illustrated by applying them to the examples of a stochastic partial differential equation and a stochastic differential equation with delay. In the case of a stochastic delay differential equation our results improve upon earlier results.     

Existence of weak solutions of stochastic differential equations with standard and fractional Brownian motion,discontinuous coefficients,and a partly degenerate diffusion operator

We obtain estimates for functionals of solutions of stochastic differential equations with standard and fractional Brownian motion. We prove a theorem on the existence of weak solutions of stochastic differential equations with standard and fractional Brownian motion, discontinuous coefficients, and a partly degenerate diffusion operator.     

The discontinuous Galerkin method for fractional degenerate convection-diffusion equations

We propose and study discontinuous Galerkin methods for strongly degenerate convection-diffusion equations perturbed by a fractional diffusion (Lévy) operator. We prove various stability estimates along with convergence results toward properly defined (entropy) solutions of linear and nonlinear equations. Finally, the qualitative behavior of solutions of such equations are illustrated through numerical experiments.     

Persistence of bounded solutions to degenerate Sobolev-Galpern equations

In this paper the persistence of bounded solutions to degenerate evolution equations of Sobolev-Galpern type is discussed. In order to define the evolution operator well, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions to its linear form. On this basis we discuss exponential dichotomies of the evolution operator and give the Fredholm alternative result for bounded solutions of nonhomogeneous linear degenerate equations. This result enables us to give a condition for the persistence of bounded solutions of a general degenerate nonlinear autonomous equation under a nonautonomous perturbation.     

Degenerate integro-differential operators in Banach spaces and their applications

In this paper we consider linear integro-differential equations in Banach spaces with Fredholm operators at the highest-order derivatives and convolution-type Volterra integral parts. We obtain sufficient conditions for the unique solvability (in the classical sense) of the Cauchy problem for the mentioned equations and illustrate the abstract results with pithy examples. The studies are carried out in classes of distributions in Banach spaces with the help of the theory of fundamental operator functions of degenerate integro-differential operators. We propose a universal technique for proving theorems on the form of fundamental operator functions.     

Degenerate nonlinear boundary-value problems

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions of weakly nonlinear degenerate boundary-value problems for systems of ordinary differential equations with a Noetherian operator in the linear part. We propose a convergent iterative procedure for finding solutions and establish the relationship between necessary and sufficient conditions.     

A nonlocal problem for the Bitsadze-Lykov equation

We study a nonlocal boundary-value problem for a degenerate hyperbolic equation. We prove that this problem is uniquely solvable if Volterra integral equations of the second kind are solvable with various values of parameters and a generalized fractional integro-differential operator with a hypergeometric Gaussian function in the kernel.     

Degenerate Linear Evolution Equations with the Riemann–Liouville Fractional Derivative

We study the unique solvability of the Cauchy and Schowalter–Sidorov type problems in a Banach space for an evolution equation with a degenerate operator at the fractional derivative under the assumption that the operator acting on the unknown function in the equation is p-bounded with respect to the operator at the fractional derivative. The conditions are found ensuring existence of a unique solution representable by means of the Mittag-Leffler type functions. Some abstract results are illustrated by an example of a finite-dimensional degenerate system of equations of a fractional order and employed in the study of unique solvability of an initial-boundary value problem for the linearized Scott-Blair system of dynamics of a medium.

On the Construction and Growth of Solutions of Degenerate Functional Differential Equations of Neutral Type

We consider degenerate linear functional differential equations in Banach spaces and construct solutions of exponential and hyperexponential growth. We establish conditions for the unique solvability of an initial-value problem and describe the set of initial functions. The results are applied to partial differential equations with time delay     

Analyticity of solutions of semi-linear equations with double characteristics

We prove the analyticity and Gevrey regularity of solutions of elliptic degenerate semi-linear differential equations principle part of which is a linear operator with double characteristics considered first by Gilioli and Treves. A new elementary proof for hypoellipticity in the weak sense is given.     

A class of quasilinear degenerate elliptic problems

We establish the existence of solutions for a class of quasilinear degenerate elliptic equations. The equations in this class satisfy a structure condition which provides ellipticity in the interior of the domain, and degeneracy only on the boundary. Equations of transonic gas dynamics, for example, satisfy this property in the region of subsonic flow and are degenerate across the sonic surface. We prove that the solution is smooth in the interior of the domain but may exhibit singular behavior at the degenerate boundary. The maximal rate of blow-up at the degenerate boundary is bounded by the “degree of degeneracy” in the principal coefficients of the quasilinear elliptic operator. Our methods and results apply to the problems recently studied by several authors which include the unsteady transonic small disturbance equation, the pressure-gradient equations of the compressible Euler equations, and the singular quasilinear anisotropic elliptic problems, and extend to the class of equations which satisfy the structure condition, such as the shallow water equation, compressible isentropic two-dimensional Euler equations, and general two-dimensional nonlinear wave equations. Our study provides a general framework to analyze degenerate elliptic problems arising in the self-similar reduction of a broad class of two-dimensional Cauchy problems.     

Nonlinear differential algebraic equations

We consider a system of nonlinear ordinary differential equations that are not solved with respect to the derivative of the unknown vector function and degenerate identically in the domain of definition. We obtain conditions for the existence of an operator transforming the original system to the normal form and prove a general theorem on the solvability of the Cauchy problem.     

Multipoint problems for degenerate abstract differential equations

Multipoint boundary value problems for degenerate differential-operator equations of arbitrary order are studied. Several conditions for the separability in Banach-valued L _p -spaces are given. Sharp estimates for the resolvent of the corresponding differential operator are obtained. In particular, the sectoriality of this operator is established. As applications, the boundary value problems for degenerate quasielliptic partial differential equations and infinite systems of differential equations on cylindrical domain are studied.     

Multiscale problems and homogenization for second-order Hamilton–Jacobi equations

We prove a general convergence result for singular perturbations with an arbitrary number of scales of fully nonlinear degenerate parabolic PDEs. As a special case we cover the iterated homogenization for such equations with oscillating initial data. Explicit examples, among others, are the two-scale homogenization of quasilinear equations driven by a general hypoelliptic operator and the n-scale homogenization of uniformly parabolic fully nonlinear PDEs.     

A twist condition and multiple solutions of unbounded self-adjoint operator equation with symmetries

By using the index theory for unbounded self-adjoint operator equations and the symmetric mountain pass theorem, we investigate the existence of multiple solutions for nonlinear operator equations with twist conditions. We prove an abstract theorem, and give some applications to first order Hamiltonian systems with Sturm–Liouville boundary conditions and delay differential equations.     

Alexandroff-Bakelman-Pucci estimate and Harnack inequality for degenerate/singular fully non-linear elliptic equations

In this paper, we study fully non-linear elliptic equations in non-divergence form which can be degenerate or singular when “the gradient is small”. Typical examples are either equations involving the m-Laplace operator or Bellman-Isaacs equations from stochastic control problems. We establish an Alexandroff-Bakelman-Pucci estimate and we prove a Harnack inequality for viscosity solutions of such non-linear elliptic equations.
