Functional differential equations and nonlinear semigroups in Lp-spaces

The autonomous nonlinear functional differential equation x(t) = F(x_t), t ? 0, x₀ = φ is studied as a semigroup of nonlinear operators in L_p function spaces. The method employed is to construct a semigroup of nonlinear operators which may be associated with the solutions of this equation. New existence and stability results are obtained for this equation by means of the semigroup approach.

Pseudo almost periodic solutions of infinite class for some functional differential equations

The aim of this work is to investigate the existence and uniqueness of pseudo almost periodic solutions for some neutral partial functional differential equations in a Banach space when the delay is distributed using the variation of constants formula and the spectral decomposition of the phase space developed in Adimy et al. [M. Adimy, K. Ezzinbi, and A. Ouhinou, Variation of constants formula and almost periodic solutions for some partial functional differential equations with infinite delay, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 317(2) (2006), pp. 668–689]. Here, we assume that the undelayed part is not necessarily densely defined and satisfies the well-known Hille–Yosida condition, the delayed part is assumed to be pseudo almost periodic with respect to the first argument and Lipschitz continuous with respect to the second argument.     

Approximate solutions of abstract differential equations

The methods of arbitrarily high orders of accuracy for the solution of an abstract ordinary differential equation are studied. The right-hand side of the differential equation under investigation contains an unbounded operator which is an infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup of operators. Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for a rational function to approximate the given semigroup with high accuracy. The research was supported by the Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic, Institutional Research Plan No. AV0Z10190503.     

WKB-type approximations for second-order differential equations in -algebras

Rigorous asymptotic approximations of the WKB (or Liouville-Green) type are obtained for a basis of solutions to in the framework of -algebras. Both cases and are included, thus generalizing the classical theory for scalar equations developed by F.W.J. Olver to matrix as well as to infinite-dimensional equations.

     

Almost automorphic solutions for abstract functional differential equations

For abstract linear functional differential equations with an almost automorphic forcing term, we establish a result on the existence of almost automorphic solutions, which extends the classical theorem due to Massera on the existence of periodic solutions for linear periodic ordinary differential equations.     

Existence of the mild solution for some fractional differential equations with nonlocal conditions

We are concerned in this paper with the existence of mild solutions to the Cauchy Problem for the fractional differential equation with nonlocal conditions: D ^q x(t)=Ax(t)+t ⁿ f(t,x(t),Bx(t)), t∈[0,T], n∈ℤ⁺, x(0)+g(x)=x ₀, where 0<q<1, A is the infinitesimal generator of a C ₀-semigroup of bounded linear operators on a Banach space X.     

Differentiability of solutions of second-order functional differential equations with unbounded delay

In this paper we study the differentiability of solutions of the second-order semilinear abstract retarded functional differential equation with unbounded delay, specially when the underlying space is reflexive or at least has the Radon–Nikodym property. We apply our results to characterize the infinitesimal generators of several strongly continuous semigroups of linear operators that arise in the theory of linear abstract retarded functional differential equations with unbounded delay on a phase space defined axiomatically.     

Almost automorphic solutions for some partial functional differential equations

In this work, we study the existence of almost automorphic solutions for some partial functional differential equations. We prove that the existence of a bounded solution on R⁺ implies the existence of an almost automorphic solution. Our results extend the classical known theorem by Bohr and Neugebauer on the existence of almost periodic solutions for inhomegeneous linear almost periodic differential equations. We give some applications to hyperbolic equations and Lotka-Volterra type equations used to describe the evolution of a single diffusive animal species.     

Massera type theorem for almost automorphic solutions of functional differential equations of neutral type

In this work, we study the existence of almost automorphic solutions for functional differential equations of neutral type. We prove that the existence of a bounded solution on R⁺ implies the existence of an almost automorphic solution.     

Resolvents of operators and partial functional differential equations with nonautonomous past

To a backward evolution family on a Banach space X we associate an abstract differential operator G through the integral equation on a Banach space of X-valued functions on . We compute the resolvent of the restriction of this operator to a smaller domain to obtain a generator. We then apply the results to prove existence, exponential stability and exponential dichotomy of solutions to partial functional equations with nonautonomous past as discussed in [S. Brendle, R. Nagel, Dist. Contin. Dynam. Systems 8 (2002) 953-966]. Our main tools are spectral mapping theorems for evolution semigroups and hyperbolicity criteria.     

Behavior near hyperbolic stationary solutions for partial functional differential equations with infinite delay

The aim of this work is to investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions near hyperbolic stationary solutions for partial functional differential equations with infinite delay. We suppose that the linear part satisfies the Hille–Yosida condition on a Banach space and it is not necessarily densely defined. Firstly, we establish a new variation of constants formula for the nonhomogeneous linear equations. Secondly, we use this formula and the spectral decomposition of the phase space to show the existence of stable and unstable manifolds. The estimations of solutions on these manifolds are obtained. For illustration, we propose to study the stability of stationary solutions for the Lotka–Volterra model with diffusion.
