Quasi-Periodic Solutions of Completely Resonant Forced Wave Equations

We prove existence of quasi-periodic solutions with two frequencies of completely resonant, periodically forced nonlinear wave equations with periodic spatial boundary conditions. We consider both the cases when the forcing frequency is: (Case A) a rational number and (Case B) an irrational number.     

Rotation Numbers of Discontinuous Orientation-Preserving Circle Maps

We extend a few well-known results about orientation preserving homeomorphisms of the circle to orientation preserving circle maps, allowing even an infinite number of discontinuities. We define a set-valued map associated to the lift by filling the gaps in the graph, that shares many properties with continuous functions. Using elementary set-valued analysis, we prove existence and uniqueness of the rotation number, periodic limit orbit in the case when the latter is rational, and Cantor structure of the unique limit set when the rotation number is irrational. Moreover, the rotation number is found to be continuous with respect to the set-valued extension if we endow the space of such maps with the Haussdorff topology on the graph. For increasing continuous families of such maps, the set of parameter values where the rotation number is irrational is a Cantor set (up to a countable number of points).     

Periodic traveling curved fronts in reaction-diffusion equation with bistable time-periodic nonlinearity

This paper is concerned with the existence and stability of periodic traveling curved fronts for reaction-diffusion equations with time-periodic bistable nonlinearity in two-dimensional space. By constructing supersolution and subsolution, we prove the existence of periodic traveling wave fronts. Furthermore, we show that the front is globally stable.     

Existence of a time periodic solution for the compressible Euler equation with a time periodic outer force

We are concerned with a time periodic supersonic flow through a bounded interval. This motion is described by the compressible Euler equation with a time periodic outer force. Our goal in this paper is to prove the existence of a time periodic solution. Although this is a fundamental problem for other equations, it has not been received much attention for the system of conservation laws until now.When we prove the existence of the time periodic solution, we face with two problems. One is to prove that initial data and the corresponding solutions after one period are contained in the same bounded set. To overcome this, we employ the generalized invariant region, which depends on the space variables. This enable us to investigate the behavior of solutions in detail. Second is to construct a continuous map. We apply a fixed point theorem to the map from initial data to solutions after one period. Then, the map needs to be continuous. To construct this, we introduce the modified Lax–Friedrichs scheme, which has a recurrence formula consisting of discretized approximate solutions. The formula yields the desired map. Moreover, the invariant region grantees that it maps a compact convex set to itself. In virtue of the fixed point theorem, we can prove a existence of a fixed point, which represents a time periodic solution. Finally, we apply the compensated compactness framework to prove the convergence of our approximate solutions.     

Periodic orbits of Hamiltonian systems on symmetric positive-type hypersurfaces

This paper discusses the existence and multiplicity of periodic orbits of Hamiltonian systems on symmetric positive-type hypersurfaces. We prove that each such energy hypersurface carries at least one symmetric periodic orbit. Under some suitable pinching conditions, we also get an existence result of multiple symmetric periodic orbits.     

Remark on the semilinear ill-posedness for a periodic higher-order KP-I equation

We prove that, for some irrational torus, the flow map of the periodic fifth-order KP-I equation is not locally uniformly continuous on the energy space, even on the hyperplanes of fixed x-mean value.

Ultimate boundedness and periodicity for some partial functional differential equations with infinite delay

In this work we study the existence of periodic solutions for some partial functional differential equation with infinite delay. We assume that the linear part is not necessarily densely defined and satisfies the known Hille-Yosida condition. Firstly, we give some estimates of the solutions. Secondly, we prove that the Poincaré map is condensing which allows us to prove the existence of periodic solutions when the solutions are ultimately bounded.     

On small perturbations of a nonlinear periodic system with degenerate equilibrium

This paper considers the reducibility and existence of periodic solutions for a class of nonlinear periodic system with a degenerate equilibrium point under small perturbations. By introducing some parameter, we consider an equivalent periodic system. Then we prove that by an affine linear periodic transformation the parameterized periodic system is reducible to one with zero as an equilibrium. Topological degree theorem ensures that for some parameter the result can go back to the original system. Then, we obtain a small periodic solution.     

Asymptotic bounds of solutions for a periodic doubly degenerate parabolic equation

This paper is concerned with a doubly degenerate parabolic equation with logistic periodic sources. We are interested in the discussion of the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the initial-boundary value problem. In this paper, we first establish the existence of non-trivial nonnegative periodic solutions by a monotonicity method. Then by using the Moser iterative method, we obtain an a priori upper bound of the nonnegative periodic solutions, by means of which we show the existence of the maximum periodic solution and asymptotic bounds of the nonnegative solutions of the initial-boundary value problem. We also prove that the support of the non-trivial nonnegative periodic solution is independent of time.     

Existence and Comparison Results for Difference φ-Laplacian Boundary Value Problems with Lower and Upper Solutions in Reverse Order

This paper is devoted to the study of the existence and comparison results for nonlinear difference φ-Laplacian problems with mixed, Dirichlet, Neumann, and periodic boundary value conditions. We deduce existence of extremal solutions of periodic and Neumann boundary value problems lying between a pair of lower and upper solutions given in reverse order. We prove the optimality of some assumptions in φ.     

An existence theorem for a generalized self-dual Chern–Simons equation and its application

In this paper, we establish an existence theorem for a generalized self-dual Chern–Simons equation over a doubly periodic domain and use the existence theorem to prove the existence of doubly periodic self-dual vortices in a Maxwell–Chern–Simons model with non-minimal coupling. We find a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of solutions of the generalized Chern–Simons equation. We prove the existence result by using two methods, a super- and sub-solution method and a constrained minimization method. Our main contribution is that we find a general inequality-type constraint by using the second method and it maybe applied to some related problems with the similar structures.     

Differential equations with limit-periodic forcings

The present paper is concerned with scalar differential equations of first order which are limit periodic in the independent variable. Some tools provided by the theories of exponential dichotomies and periodic differential equations are applied to prove that, in a generic sense, the existence of a bounded solution implies the existence of a limit periodic solution.

     

Periodic solutions of affine stochastic differential equations

We discuss the problem of the existence of periodic and stationary solutions of affine stochastic differential equations. We prove that under a controllability condition the system has a periodic solution if and only if the linear part is eyponentially stable in mean square.

It is also shown that the controllability assumption is necessary for the existence of a “unique” weakly periodic solution with nondegenerate covariance.

Periodic solutions of non linear differential difference equations

In this paper we will be interested in the behaviour of long chains of coupled gravitational pendula. We will prove existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions for such chains under periodic forcing and will prove that under some smoothness assumptions the chain behaves as an uncoupled one. We will also analyse a more general class of differential difference equations and prove existence and unicity results for periodic solutions.Research partially supported by AFOSR under U.R.I, contract F49620-86-C-0131 to Northeastern University.     

Periodic Solutions of Classical Hamiltonian Systems without Palais-Smale Condition

In this paper, we study the existence of periodic solutions for classical Hamiltonian systems without the Palais-Smale condition. We prove that the information of the potential function contained in a finite domain is sufficient for the existence of periodic solutions. Moreover, we establish the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions without any symmetric condition on the potential function V.

Full cascades of simple periodic orbits on the interval

Any continuous interval map of type greater than 2∞ is shown to have what we call a full cascade of simple periodic orbits. This is used to prove that, for maps of any types, the existence of such a full cascade is equivalent to the existence of an infinite ω-limit set. For maps of type 2∞, this is equivalent to the existence of a (period doubling) solenoid. Hence, any map of type 2∞ which is either piecewise monotone (with finite number of pieces) or continuously differentiable has both a full cascade of simple periodic orbits and a solenoid.     

Weighted pseudo-almost periodic solutions of a class of abstract differential equations

For abstract linear functional differential equations with a weighted pseudo-almost periodic forcing term, we prove that the existence of a bounded solution on R⁺ implies the existence of a weighted pseudo-almost periodic solution. Our results extend the classical theorem due to Massera on the existence of periodic solutions for linear periodic ordinary differential equations. To illustrate the results, we consider the Lotka-Volterra model with diffusion.
