Existence and iteration of positive solution for a three-point boundary value problem with ap-Laplacian operator

In the paper, we obtain the existence of positive solutions and establish a corresponding iterative scheme for BVPs $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} (\phi _p (u\prime ))\prime + q(t)f(t, u) = 0,0< t< 1, \hfill \\ u(0) - B(u\prime (\eta )) = 0, u\prime (1) = 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ and $$\left\{ \begin{gathered} (\phi _p (u\prime ))\prime + q(t)f(t, u) = 0,0< t< 1, \hfill \\ u\prime (0) = 0, u(1) + B(u\prime (\eta )) = 0 \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right.$$ The main tool is the monotone iterative technique. Here, the coefficientq(t) may be singular att = 0,1.     

Programming under uncertainty: The complete problem

We define the complete problem of a two-stage linear programming under uncertainty, to be:

In this paper,we consider the following chemotaxis model with ratio-dependent logistic reaction term u/t=D▽(▽u-u▽ω/ω)+u(α-bu/ω),(x,t)∈QT,ω/t=βu-δω,(x,t)∈QT,u▽㏑(u/w)·=0,x ∈Ω,0tT,u(x,0)=u0(x)0,x ∈,w(x,0)=w0(x)0,x ∈,It is shown that the solution to the problem exists globally if b+β≥0 and will blow up or quench if b+β0 by means of function transformation and comparison method.Various asymptotic behavior related to different coefficients and initial data is also discussed.     

A maximum principle for time-lag control problems with bounded state

A maximum principle is obtained for control problems involving a constant time lag τ in both the control and state variables. The problem considered is that of minimizing $$I(x) = \int_{t^0 }^{t^1 } {L (t,x(t), x(t - \tau ), u(t), u(t - \tau )) dt} $$ subject to the constraints 1 $$\begin{gathered} \dot x(t) = f(t,x(t),x(t - \tau ),u(t),u(t - \tau )), \hfill \\ x(t) = \phi (t), u(t) = \eta (t), t^0 - \tau \leqslant t \leqslant t^0 , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ 1 $$\psi _\alpha (t,x(t),x(t - \tau )) \leqslant 0,\alpha = 1, \ldots ,m,$$ 1 $$x^i (t^1 ) = X^i ,i = 1, \ldots ,n$$ . The results are obtained using the method of Hestenes.

Thus also the stability of the original equation is shown.

Finite difference method of first boundary problem for quasilinear parabolic systems (IV)

More work is done to study the explicit, weak and strong implicit difference solution for the first boundary problem of quasilinear parabolic system: $$\begin{gathered} u_t = ( - 1)^{M + 1} A(x,t,u, \cdots ,u_x M - 1)u_x 2M + f(x,t,u, \cdots u_x 2M - 1), \hfill \\ (x,t) \in Q_T = \left| {0< x< l,0< t \leqslant T} \right|, \hfill \\ u_x ^k (0,t) = u_x ^k (l,t) = 0 (k = 0,1, \cdots ,M - 1),0< t \leqslant T, \hfill \\ u(x,0) = \varphi (x),0 \leqslant x \leqslant l, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ whereu, ?, andf arem-dimensional vector valued functions, A is anm×m positively definite matrix, and $u_t = \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}},u_x ^k = \frac{{\partial ^k u}}{{\partial x^k }}$ . For this problem, the convergence of iteration for the general difference schemes is proved.

Remarks on eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a special elliptic system

LetΛ ₁(Ω) be the first eigenvalue of the vector-valued problem $$\begin{gathered} \Delta u + \alpha grad div u + \Delta u = 0 in \Omega , \hfill \\ u = 0 in \partial \Omega , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ , withα>0. Letλ ₁(Ω) be the first eigenvalue of the scalar problem $$\begin{gathered} \Delta u + \lambda u = 0 in \Omega , \hfill \\ u = 0 on \partial \Omega . \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ . The paper contains a proof of the inequality $$\left( {1 + \frac{\alpha }{n}} \right)\lambda _1 \left( \Omega \right) > \Lambda _1 \left( \Omega \right) > \left( \Omega \right)$$ and improves recent estimates of Sprössig [15] and Levine and Protter [11]. Moreover we show, ifΩ is a ball, that an eigensolution u₁, associated withΛ ₁(Ω) is not unique and that the eigensolutions for this and higher eigenvalues are never rotationally invariant. Finally we calculate some eigensolutions explicitly.
