An abstract semilinear hyperbolic Volterra integrodifferential equation

We consider semilinear integrodifferential equations of the form u′(t) + A(t) u(t) = ∝₀^tg(t, s, u(s)) ds + f(t), u(0) = u₀. For each t ? 0, the operator A(t) is assumed to be the negative generator of a strongly continuous semigroup in a Banach space X. The domain D(A(t)) of A(t) is allowed to vary with t. Thus our models are Volterra integrodifferential equations of “hyperbolic type.” These types of equations arise naturally in the study of viscoelasticity. Our main results are the proofs of existence, uniqueness, continuation and continuous dependence of the solutions.     

An abstract nonlinear Volterra equation

The existence, uniqueness, regularity and dependence upon data of solutions of the abstract Volterra equation u(t)+∫ ₀ ^t a(t-s)A(u(s))ds∈f(t), t≧0 are studied in a real Banach space. The nonlinear operatorA is assumed to bem-accretive and the assumptions on the kernela do not exclude the possibility that lim _t→0+ a(t)=+∞.     

An abstract functional differential equation and a related nonlinear Volterra equation

We study the existence, uniqueness, regularity and dependence upon data of solutions of the abstract functional differential equation 1 $$\frac{{du}}{{dt}} + Au \ni G(u) (0 \leqq t \leqq T), u(0) = x,$$ , whereT>0 is arbitrary,A is a givenm-accretive operator in a real Banach spaceX, and \(G:C([0,T]; \overline {D(A)} ) \to L^1 (0, T; X)\) is a given mapping. This study provides simple proofs of generalizations of results by several authors concerning the nonlinear Volterra equation 2 $$u(t) + b * Au(t) \ni F(t) (0 \leqq t \leqq T),$$ , for the case in which X is a real Hilbert space. In (2) the kernelb is real, absolutely continuous on [0,T],b*g(t)=∫ ₀ ¹ (t?s)g(s)ds, andf∈W ^1,1(0,T;X).     

An abstract Volterra integral equation in a reflexive Banach space

Boundary controllability of Sobolev-type abstract nonlinear integrodifferential systems

Sufficient conditions are established for boundary controllability of various classes of Sobolev-type nonlinear systems including integrodifferential systems in Banach spaces. The results are obtained using the strongly continuous semigroup of operators and the Banach contraction principle. Examples are provided to illustrate the theory.     

A nonlinear integrodifferential equation of nonstationary transfer

Existence and uniqueness theorems for the solution of a mixed problem for a nonlinear nonstationary integrodifferential transfer equation of general form, as well as stability theorems for the solutions of this problem with respect to the perturbation of a parameter occurring in the equation and in the initial and boundary conditions, are established in the article.Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 21, No. 5, pp. 665–676, May, 1977.     

Local existence for nonlinear Volterra integrodifferential equations with infinite delay

In this paper, we investigate the local existence and uniqueness of solutions to integrodifferential equations with infinite delay, which are more general than those in previous studies. We assume that the linear part of the equation is nondensely defined and satisfies a Hille–Yosida condition. Moreover, the continuity of solutions with respect to initial conditions is also studied. In order to illustrate our abstract results, we conclude this work with an example.     

Analytical-numerical solution of a nonlinear integrodifferential equation in econometrics

A mixed problem for a nonlinear integrodifferential equation arising in econometrics is considered. An analytical-numerical method is proposed for solving the problem. Some numerical results are presented.     

Existence for a doubly nonlinear Volterra equation

We consider a doubly nonlinear Volterra equation involving a nonsmooth kernel and two possibly degenerate monotone operators. By exploiting an implicit time-discretization procedure, we obtain the existence of a global strong solution and extend to the nonlocal in time situation some former results by Colli [P. Colli, On some doubly nonlinear evolution equations in Banach spaces, Japan J. Indust. Appl. Math. 9 (2) (1992) 181-203].     

An abstract doubly nonlinear equation with a measure as initial value

The solvability of the abstract implicit nonlinear nonautonomous differential equation (A(t)u^′(t))+B(t)u(t)+C(t)u(t)∋f(t) will be investigated in the case of a measure as an initial value. It will be shown that this problem has a solution if the inner product of A(t)x and B(t)x+C(t)x is bounded below.     

Runge-Kutta theory for Volterra integrodifferential equations

Summary The present paper develops the theory of general Runge-Kutta methods for Volterra integrodifferential equations. The local order is characterized in terms of the coefficients of the method. We investigate the global convergence of mixed and extended Runge-Kutta methods and give results on asymptotic error expansions. In a further section we construct examples of methods up to order 4.     

Controllability of stochastic Volterra integrodifferential systems

In this paper, sufficient conditions for the controllability of stochastic integrodifferential systems in Banach spaces are established. The results are obtained by using a fixed point theorem. An example is provided to illustrate the theory.     

Existence and boundedness of solutions of abstract nonlinear integrodifferential equations of nonconvolution type

Existence and boundedness theorems are given for solutions of nonlinear integrodifferential equations of type $\text{d}\text{dt}\text{u(t) + Bu(t) + ∝}{}_0{}^{\mathrm{t}}\text{a(t, s) Au(s) ds ? f(t) (t > 0)}$, (1.1) u(0) = u₀, Here A and B are nonlinear, possibly multivalued, operators on a Banach space W and a Hilbert space H, where W ? H. The function f (0, ∞) → H and the kernel a(t, s): $\text{R}$ × $\text{R}$ → $\text{R}$ are known functions. The results of this paper extend the results of Crandall, Londen, and Nohel [4] for equation (1.1). They assumed the kernel to be of the type a(t, s) = a(t ? s). We relax this assumption and obtain similar results. Examples of kernels satisfying the conditions we require are given in section 4.
