The existence problem for a nonlinear Abel equation on the half-line

We discuss a nonlinear Abel equation on the half-line (−∞,c), c>0. The basic results provide criteria for the existence of nontrivial everywhere positive solutions. They are expressed in terms of the generalized Osgood condition.

A numerical method for solving Fredholm-Volterra integral equations in two-dimensional spaces using block pulse functions and an operational matrix

In this paper, the block pulse functions (BPFs) and their operational matrix are used to solve two-dimensional Fredholm-Volterra integral equations (F-VIE). This method converts F-VIE to systems of linear equations whose solutions are the coefficients of block pulse expansions of the solutions of F-VIE.Finally some numerical examples are presented to show the efficiency and accuracy of the method.     

Regularization of an Abel equation

We consider one class of Abel's equation with ill-posed natures. The stable approximate solution is obtained by using the well-known Tikhonov's regularization approach. We also conduct numerical computations to realize the approximate solutions for a concrete equation to demonstrate the applicability of our method.

Symmetry of integral equation systems with Bessel kernel on bounded domains

In this paper, we investigate the symmetry of integral equation systems with Bessel kernel on bounded domains. Under some natural integrability conditions, we prove that the domains are balls and all positive solutions are radially symmetric and monotonic decreasing.     

On Volterra-Fredholm integral equations

The existence and uniqueness of solutions of more general Volterra-Fredholm integral equations are investigated. The successive approximations method based on the general idea of T. Wazewski is the main tool.     

Stochastic Volterra equations driven by cylindrical Wiener process

In this paper, stochastic Volterra equations driven by cylindrical Wiener process in Hilbert space are investigated. Sufficient conditions for existence of strong solutions are given. The key role is played by convergence of α-times resolvent families. Both authors are supported partially by project “Proyecto Anillo: Laboratorio de Analisis Estocastico; ANESTOC”.     

Maximal regularity of type L p for abstract parabolic Volterra equations

We prove maximal regularity results of type L_p for abstract parabolic Volterra equations including problems with inhomogeneous boundary data. Our approach is purely operator theoretic. It uses the inversion of the convolution, the Dore-Venni theorem, the Mikhlin theorem in the operator-valued version, and real interpolation. Known results on L_p-regularity of abstract Cauchy problems and abstract parabolic pdes with inhomogeneous boundary conditions are recovered. As an application we consider the heat equation of memory type with inhomogeneous boundary condition.     

Recent results on blow-up and quenching for nonlinear Volterra equations

In this survey paper, the author examines nonlinear Volterra integral equations of the second kind with solutions that blow-up or quench. The focus is on analytical results, although a few words about numerical solutions for such equations are provided. The integral equations arise in the mathematical modeling of thermal processes within a reactive–diffusive medium. The scope of this review is on the published literature between 1997 and 2005, serving as an update to a previous review by the same author.     

Blowing up behavior for a class of nonlinear VIEs connected with parabolic PDEs

We study the blowing-up behavior of solutions of a class of nonlinear integral equations of Volterra type that is connected with parabolic partial differential equations with concentrated nonlinearities. We present some analytic results and, in the case of the kernel of Abel-kind with power nonlinearity and fixed initial data, we give a numerical approximation by using one-point collocation methods.     

On a nonlocal diffusion model with Neumann boundary conditions

We study a nonlocal diffusion model analogous to heat equation with Neumann boundary conditions. We prove the existence and uniqueness of solutions and a comparison principle. Furthermore, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the solutions as the temporal variable goes to infinity and the boundary datum depends only on a spacial variable.     

Compact almost automorphic solutions to integral equations with infinite delay

Given a∈L¹(R) and the generator A of an L¹-integrable resolvent family of linear bounded operators defined on a Banach space X, we prove the existence of compact almost automorphic solutions of the semilinear integral equation for each f:R×X→X compact almost automorphic in t, for each x∈X, and satisfying Lipschitz and Hölder type conditions. In the scalar linear case, we prove that a∈L¹(R) positive, nonincreasing and log-convex is sufficient to obtain the existence of compact almost automorphic solutions.     

On BV-Solutions of Some Nonlinear Integral Equations

In this paper we prove uniqueness theorems for bounded variation (shortly: BV) solutions and continuous BV-solutions of the Hammerstein and the Volterra-Hammerstein integral equations. We investigate real-valued functions and functions with values in a Banach space. Submitted: August 16, 2001?Revised: September 13, 2002

Finding Hamiltonian paths in cocomparability graphs using the bump number algorithm

Hamiltonian Path/Cycle are well known NP-complete problems on general graphs, but their complexity status for permutation graphs has been an open question in algorithmic graph theory for many years. In this paper, we prove that theHamiltonian Path problem is solvable in polynomial time even for the larger class of cocomparability graphs. Our result is based on a nice relationship between Hamiltonian paths and the bump number of partial orders. As another consequence we get a new interpretation of the bump number in terms of path partitions, leading to polynomial time solutions of theHamiltonian Path/Cycle Completion problems in cocomparability graphs.This research was supported in part by ONR for third author and by NSERC under grant number A1798 for fourth author.     

Linear instability of relative equilibria for n-body problems in the plane

Following Smale, we study simple symmetric mechanical systems of n point particles in the plane. In particular, we address the question of the linear and spectral stability properties of relative equilibria, which are special solutions of the equations of motion.     

Integral operators of Sturm-Liouville type

This paper extends the class of integral equations whose solutions can be generated from a finite number of particular cases to include those of Sturm-Liouville type, including the case where the associated operators are not self-adjoint. An explicit expression for the resolvent operator is generated from two particular solutions, in a form amenable to the use of approximation techniques. A usable estimate of the norm of the inverse operator is obtained even in cases where approximate solutions have to be used.
