On Asymptotics of Solutions of Nonlinear Differential Equations of the Second Order

We study the problem of asymptotics of unbounded solutions of differential equations of the form y″ = α₀ p(t)ϕ(y), where α₀ ∈ {−1, 1}, p: [a, ω[→]0, +∞[, −∞ < a < ω ≤ +∞, is a continuous function, and ϕ: [y ₀, +∞[→]0, +∞[ is a twice continuously differentiable function close to a power function in a certain sense.__________Translated from Neliniini Kolyvannya, Vol. 8, No. 1, pp. 18–28, January–March, 2005.

Solutions of Weakly Nonlinear Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations Bounded on R

We obtain conditions for the existence of solutions bounded on the entire axis R for weakly nonlinear systems of ordinary differential equations in the case where the corresponding unperturbed homogeneous linear differential system is exponentially dichotomous on the semiaxes R ₊ and R _–.     

Sharp Estimates of Bounded Solutions to Some Second-order Forced Dissipative Equations

Résumé A l’aide d’inégalités différentielles, on établit une estimation proche de l’optimalité pour la norme dans de l’unique solution bornée de u′′ + cu′ + Au = f(t) lorsque A = A ^* ≥ λ I est un opérateur borné ou non sur un espace de Hilbert réel H, V = D(A ^1/2) et λ, c sont des constantes positives, tandis que . By using differential inequalities, a close-to-optimal bound of the unique bounded solution of u′′ + cu′ + Au = f(t) is obtained whenever A = A ^* ≥ λ I is a bounded or unbounded linear operator on a real Hilbert space H, V = D(A ^1/2) and λ, c are positive constants, while .

A Note on the Convergence of Singularly Perturbed Second Order Potential-Type Equations

In this paper we study the limit as \(\varepsilon \rightarrow 0\) of the singularly perturbed second order equation \(\varepsilon ^2 \ddot{u}_\varepsilon + \nabla _{\!x} V(t,u_\varepsilon (t))=0\), where V(t, x) is a potential. We assume that \(u_0(t)\) is one of its equilibrium points such that \(\nabla _{\!x}V(t,u_0(t))=0\) and \(\nabla _{\!x}^2V(t,u_0(t))>0\). We find that, under suitable initial data, the solutions \(u_\varepsilon \) converge uniformly to \(u_0\), by imposing mild hypotheses on V. A counterexample shows that they cannot be weakened.     

Local and Global Behaviour of Solutions to Nonlinear Equations with Natural Growth Terms

In this paper we study the Dirichlet problem

$\left\{\begin{array}{lll}-\Delta_p{u} = \sigma |u|^{p-2}u + \omega \quad {\rm in}\;\Omega,\\ u = 0 \qquad\quad\qquad\quad\;\qquad{\rm on}\;\partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$

, where σ and ω are nonnegative Borel measures, and \({\Delta_p{u} = \nabla \cdot (\nabla{u} \, |\nabla{u}|^{p-2})}\) is the p-Laplacian. Here \({\Omega \subseteq \mathbf{R}^n}\) is either a bounded domain, or the entire space. Our main estimates concern optimal pointwise bounds of solutions in terms of two local Wolff’s potentials, under minimal regularity assumed on σ and ω. In addition, analogous results for equations modeled by the k-Hessian in place of the p-Laplacian will be discussed.

     

Sufficient Conditions for the Existence of Bounded Solutions of Systems of Nonlinear Difference Equations

We obtain sufficient conditions for systems of nonlinear difference equations x(n + 1) = A(x(n))x(n) + f(n), n ∈ ℤ, where A(x) is a matrix function continuous on ℝ ^m , to have solutions in the space of bilateral number sequences. __________ Translated from Neliniini Kolyvannya, Vol. 8, No. 2, pp. 165–173, April–June, 2005.     

Global Solutions of Nonlinear Wave Equations in Time Dependent Inhomogeneous Media

We consider the problem of small data global existence for a class of semilinear wave equations with null condition on a Lorentzian background ${(\mathbb{R}^{3 + 1}, g)}$ with a time dependent metric g coinciding with the Minkowski metric outside the cylinder ${\{(t, x) || x | \leq R\}}$ . We show that the small data global existence result can be reduced to two integrated local energy estimates and demonstrate that these estimates work in the particular case when g is merely C ¹ close to the Minkowski metric. One of the novel aspects of this work is that it applies to equations on backgrounds which do not settle to any particular stationary metric.     

Positive Solutions to Singular Second and Third Order Differential Equations for Quantum Fluids

We analyze a quantum trajectory model given by a steady-state hydrodynamic system for quantum fluids with positive constant temperature in bounded domains for arbitrary large data. The momentum equation can be written as a dispersive third-order equation for the particle density where viscous effects are incorporated. The phenomena that admit positivity of the solutions are studied. The cases, one space dimensional dispersive or non-dispersive, viscous or non-viscous, are thoroughly analyzed with respect to positivity and existence or non-existence of solutions, all depending on the constitutive relation for the pressure law. We distinguish between isothermal (linear) and isentropic (power law) pressure functions of the density. It is proved that in the dispersive, non-viscous model, a classical positive solution only exists for “small” (positive) particle current densities, both for the isentropic and isothermal case. Uniqueness is also shown in the isentropic subsonic case, when the pressure law is strictly convex. However, we prove that no weak isentropic solution can exist for “large” current densities. The dispersive, viscous problem admits a classical positive solution for all current densities, both for the isentropic and isothermal case, with an “ultra-diffusion” condition. The proofs are based on a reformulation of the equations as a singular elliptic second-order problem and on a variant of the Stampacchia truncation technique. Some of the results are extended to general third-order equations in any space dimension. Accepted July 1, 2000?Published online February 14, 2001     

Stability and Boundedness Results for Solutions of Certain Third Order Nonlinear Vector Differential Equations

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic stability of the zero solution and boundedness of all solutions of a certain third order nonlinear ordinary vector differential equation. The results are proved using Lyapunov’s second (or direct method). Our results include and improve some well known results existing in the literature.     

Exponential Dichotomy and Mild Solutions of Nonautonomous Equations in Banach Spaces

We prove that the exponential dichotomy of a strongly continuous evolution family on a Banach space is equivalent to the existence and uniqueness of continuous bounded mild solutions of the corresponding inhomogeneous equation. This result addresses nonautonomous abstract Cauchy problems with unbounded coefficients. The technique used involves evolution semigroups. Some applications are given to evolution families on scales of Banach spaces arising in center manifolds theory.

Propagation of Singularities¶for Solutions of Nonlinear First Order¶Partial Differential Equations

Few results are available in the mathematical literature for studying the structure of the singular set of a weak solution u of F(x,u,Du)=0. This paper provides new techniques to analyse such a set when u is semiconcave and F is a nonlinear convex function with respect to p. The main objective achieved here is a classification of the singularities of u that propagate along Lipschitz arcs. Such a propagation phenomenon is also described by means of a generalized characteristics inclusion.
