On the cauchy problem for a class of degenerate differential equations with Lipschitz right-hand side

This note deals with an application of the fixed point theorem for multivalued contraction mappings to the study of degenerate differential equations with Lipschitz right-hand side and with degeneration determined by a closed surjective linear operator.     

Superconvergence of a discontinuous finite element method for a nonlinear ordinary differential equation

In this paper, n-degree discontinuous finite element method with interpolated coefficients for an initial value problem of nonlinear ordinary differential equation is introduced and analyzed. By using the finite element projection for an auxiliary linear problem as comparison function, an optimal superconvergence , at (n + 1)-order characteristic points in each element respectively is proved. Finally the theoretic results are tested by a numerical example.     

Hopf bifurcation analysis of a general non-linear differential equation with delay

This work represents Hopf bifurcation analysis of a general non-linear differential equation involving time delay. A special form of this equation is the Hutchinson–Wright equation which is a mile stone in the mathematical modeling of population dynamics and mathematical biology. Taking the delay parameter as a bifurcation parameter, Hopf bifurcation analysis is studied by following the theory in the book by Hazzard et al. By analyzing the associated characteristic polynomial, we determine necessary conditions for the linear stability and Hopf bifurcation. In addition to this analysis, the direction of bifurcation, the stability and the period of a periodic solution to this equation are evaluated at a bifurcation value by using the Poincaré normal form and the center manifold theorem. Finally, the theoretical results are supported by numerical simulations.     

On the inverse problem of determining the right-hand side of a parabolic equation under an integral overdetermination condition

We study the unique solvability of the inverse problem of determining the righthand side of a parabolic equation whose leading coefficient depends on both the time and the spatial variable under an integral overdetermination condition with respect to time. We obtain two types of condition sufficient for the local solvability of the inverse problem as well as study the so-called Fredholm solvability of the inverse problem under consideration.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, vol. 77, no. 4, 2005, pp. 522–534.Original Russian Text Copyright © 2005 by V.

An existence theorem for a type of functional differential equation with infinite delay

Summary We prove an existence theorem for a functional differential equation with infinite delay using the Schauder fixpoint theorem. We extend a result in [19] applying the fixed point procedure in an appropriate function space.

A strong solution of a high-order mixed type partial differential equation with integral conditions

In this article, we study a mixed problem with integral boundary conditions for a high-order partial differential equation of mixed type. We prove the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution. The proof is based on energy inequality and on the density of the range of the operator generated by the considered problem.
