Large solutions for the Laplacian with a power nonlinearity given by a variable exponent

In this paper we consider positive boundary blow-up solutions to the problem Δu=uq(x)$\mathrm{\Delta }u=u^{q(x)}$ in a smooth bounded domain Ω⊂Rn$\Omega \subset {\mathbb{R}}^n$. The exponent q(x)$q(x)$ is allowed to be a variable positive Hölder continuous function. The issues of existence, asymptotic behavior near the boundary and uniqueness of positive solutions are considered. Furthermore, since q(x)$q(x)$ is also allowed to take values less than one, it is shown that the blow up of solutions on ∂Ω is compatible with the occurrence of dead cores, i.e., nonempty interior regions where solutions vanish.

Existence of multiple solutions for a second-order difference equation with a parameter

Applying the critical point theorem, we establish existence and multiple solutions for a second-order difference boundary value problem and show the explicit intervals of λ such that the equation has at least 2N distinct solutions.     

Existence and approximation of solutions for discontinuous functional differential equations

In this paper existence of solutions of initial value problems for discontinuous functional differential equations is investigated firstly. By applying the method of upper and lower solutions, which may be discontinuous, some existence results of extremal solutions are obtained. Furthermore, we also develop a monotone iterative technique for obtaining extremal solutions which are obtained as limits of monotone sequences.     

Existence and uniqueness of martingale solutions for SDEs with rough or degenerate coefficients

In this paper we extend recent results on the existence and uniqueness of solutions of ODEs with non-smooth vector fields to the case of martingale solutions, in the Stroock-Varadhan sense, of SDEs with non-smooth coefficients. In the first part we develop a general theory, which roughly speaking allows to deduce existence, uniqueness and stability of martingale solutions for Ld-almost every initial condition x whenever existence and uniqueness is known at the PDE level in the L^∞-setting (and, conversely, if existence and uniqueness of martingale solutions is known for Ld-a.e. initial condition, then existence and uniqueness for the PDE holds). In the second part of the paper we consider situations where, on the one hand, no pointwise uniqueness result for the martingale problem is known and, on the other hand, well-posedness for the Fokker-Planck equation can be proved. Thus, the theory developed in the first part of the paper is applicable. In particular, we will study the Fokker-Planck equation in two somehow extreme situations: in the first one, assuming uniform ellipticity of the diffusion coefficients and Lipschitz regularity in time, we are able to prove existence and uniqueness in the L²-setting; in the second one we consider an additive noise and, assuming the drift b to have BV regularity and allowing the diffusion matrix a to be degenerate (also identically 0), we prove existence and uniqueness in the L^∞-setting. Therefore, in these two situations, our theory yields existence, uniqueness and stability results for martingale solutions.     

Existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for a non-uniformly parabolic equation

In this paper we develop a unifying method to prove the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions for the initial-boundary value problem of a non-uniformly parabolic equation. Some well-known parabolic equations are the special cases of this equation.     

The unique solution for a fractional q-difference equation with three-point boundary conditions

The aim of this paper is to investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for nonlinear fractional $q$-difference equations with three-point boundary conditions. Our approach relies on a new fixed point theorem of increasing $\psi ?(h,r)?$concave operators defined on ordered sets. Further, we can construct a monotone explicit iterative scheme to approximate the unique solution. Finally, the main results are illustrated with the aid of two interesting examples.     

Geometric and analytic views in existence theorems for optimal control. III. Weak solutions

Existence theorems are proved for weak optimal solutions of problems of optimization with distributed and boundary control. Many examples are given. Application is made of recent remarks on closure properties of linear and nonlinear operators. Recent geometric, topological, and analytical views are brought to bear on the underlying seminormality conditions.This research was partially supported by AFOSR Research Project 71-2122 at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan.     

Existence and uniqueness of solutions of elastic string with moving ends

A mathematical model for the small vibration of an elastic string is considered. The model takes into account the change of tension due to the movement of the end points of the string. Under the assumptions that the speed of the moving ends be less than the characteristic speed of the equation, the existence and the uniqueness of local weak solution and global strong solution are proved.

On the existence and multiplicity of positive periodic solutions for first-order vector differential equation

In this paper, we consider the existence and multiplicity of positive periodic solutions for first-order vector differential equation x^′(t)+f(t,x(t))=0, a.e. t∈[0,ω] under the periodic boundary value condition x(0)=x(ω). Here ω is a positive constant, and is a Carathéodory function. Some existence and multiplicity results of positive periodic solutions are derived by using a fixed point theorem in cones.     

On the global existence and uniqueness of solutions to the nonstationary boundary layer system

In this paper, we study the problem of boundary layer for nonstationary flows of viscous incompressible fluids. There are some open problems in the field of boundary layer. The method used here is mainly based on a transformation which reduces the boundary layer system to an initial-boundary value problem for a single quasilinear parabolic equation. We prove the existence of weak solutions to the modified nonstationary boundary layer system. Moreover, the stability and uniqueness of weak solutions are discussed.     

On a class of backward stochastic Volterra integral equations

In this paper, under some restrictions of the time interval, we compare a class of backward stochastic Volterra integral equations with the corresponding simpler one; to be precise, we give the relations between their solutions under global and local Lipschitz conditions on their generator functions. Using these relations, it could be easier to study solutions of more complex equations, where coefficients in backward integrals could be treated as perturbations.     

Existence and uniqueness of mild solutions to a semilinear integrodifferential equation of fractional order

In this paper, we prove some existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for a semilinear integrodifferential equation of fractional order with nonlocal initial conditions in α-norm. We assume that the linear part generates a noncompact analytic semigroup. Our results cover the cases that the nonlinearity F takes values in different spaces such as X,X_α and X_β, where α≤β(0,1). Finally, some practical consequences are also obtained.     

On a solution to fractional order integrodifferential equations with analytic semigroups
