Boundary Non-crossings of Brownian Pillow

Let B ₀(s,t) be a Brownian pillow with continuous sample paths, and let h,u:[0,1]²→? be two measurable functions. In this paper we derive upper and lower bounds for the boundary non-crossing probability

$\psi(u;h):=\mathbf{P}\big\{B_{0}(s,t)+h(s,t)\leq u(s,t),\forall s,t\in[0,1]\big\}.$

Further we investigate the asymptotic behaviour of ψ(u;γ h) with γ tending to ∞ and solve a related minimisation problem.

Existenz und Eindeutigkeit starker und klassischer Lösungen für inhomogene hyperbolische Differentialgleichungen im Hilbertraum

In dieser Arbeit befassen wir uns mit der inhomogenen Differentialgleichung:

$$\begin{aligned} u'(t)+A(t)u(t)+f(t)= & {} 0,\quad t\in (t_1,t_2)\\ u(t_1)= & {} \varphi \end{aligned}$$

im abstrakten Hilbertraum und weisen eindeutige starke Lösungen aus der Klasse der lipschitzstetigen Funktionen nach, falls f(t) von beschränkter Variation ist, sowie klassische Lösungen, falls f(t) zusätzlich stetig ist. Das bedeutet den Verzicht auf die bisher übliche Forderung der Lipschitzstetigkeit von f(t) für den direkten Nachweis der klassischen Lösbarkeit.

Existence and iteration of positive solutions for a three-point boundary value problem of second order integro-differential equation with p-Laplace operator

In the paper, we obtain the existence of positive solutions and establish a corresponding iterative scheme for the following three-point boundary value problem $$\left\{\begin{array}{l}(\phi_p(u'))'(t)+q(t)f\left(u(t),u'(t),Tu(t),Su(t)\right)=0,\quad0 < t< 1,\\u'(0)=\alpha u'(\eta),\quad u(1)=g(u'(1)),\end{array}\right.$$ where ? _p (s)=|s| ^p?2 s,p>1,α∈[0,1),η∈(0,1), T and S are all linear operators, g(t) is continuous and nonincreasing on (?∞,0]. The main tools are monotone iterative technique and numerical simulation. We illustrate our results by one example, and give its numerical results by iterative scheme.

Sign-changing solutions for elliptic problems with critical Sobolev-Hardy exponents

Let be a smooth bounded domain such that 0∈Ω, N?7, 0?s<2, 2∗(s)=2(N−s)/(N−2). We prove the existence of sign-changing solutions for the singular critical problem −Δu−μ(u/|x|2)=(|u|2∗(s)−2/|x|s)u+λu with Dirichlet boundary condition on Ω for suitable positive parameters λ and μ.     

Existence of positive solutions of Neumann boundary value problem via a cone compression-expansion fixed point theorem of functional type

This paper is devoted to study the existence of positive solutions of second-order boundary value problem $$-u''+m^2u=h(t)f(t,u),\quad t\in (0,1)$$ with Neumann boundary conditions $$u'(0)=u'(1)=0,$$ where m>0, f∈C([0,1]×?⁺,?⁺), and h(t) is allowed to be singular at t=0 and t=1. The arguments are based only upon the positivity of the Green function, a fixed point theorem of cone expansion and compression of functional type, and growth conditions on the nonlinearity f.     

On Existence Results for Nonlinear Fractional Differential Equations Involving the <Emphasis Type="Italic">p</Emphasis>-Laplacian at Resonance

In this paper, we study the existence result for the nonlinear fractional differential equations with p-Laplacian operator

$$\left\{\begin{array}{ll}D_{0^+}^{\beta} \phi_p( D_{0^+}^{\alpha} u(t))=f(t,u(t),D_{0^+}^{\alpha}u(t)), \quad t\in(0,1),\\ D_{0^+}^{\alpha}u(0)=D_{0^+}^{\alpha}u(1)=0,\end{array}\right.$$

where the p-Laplacian operator is defined as \({\phi_p(s) = |s|^{p-2}s,p > 1, \,\,{\rm and}\,\, \phi_q(s) = \phi_p^{-1}(s), \frac{1}{p}+\frac{1}{q} = 1;\, 0 < \alpha, \beta < 1, 1 < \alpha + \beta < 2 \,\,{\rm and}\,\, D_{0^+}^{\alpha}, D_{0^+}^{\beta}}\) denote the Caputo fractional derivatives, and \({f : [0,1] \times \mathbb{R}^2\rightarrow \mathbb{R}}\) is continuous. Though Chen et al. have studied the same equations in their article, the proof process is not rigorous. We point out the mistakes and give a correct proof of the existence result. The innovation of this article is that we introduce a new definition to weaken the conditions of Arzela–Ascoli theorem and overcome the difficulties of the proof of compactness of the projector K _P (I ? Q)N. As applications, an example is presented to illustrate the main results.

     

Gradient estimates for the elliptic and parabolic Lichnerowicz equations on compact manifolds

Let (M, g) be a smooth compact Riemannian manifold of dimension n ≥ 3. Denote ${\Delta_g=-{\rm div}_g\nabla}$ the Laplace–Beltrami operator. We establish some local gradient estimates for the positive solutions of the Lichnerowicz equation $$\Delta_gu(x)+h(x)u(x)=A(x)u^p(x)+\frac{B(x)}{u^q(x)}$$ on (M, g). Here, p, q ≥ 0, A(x), B(x) and h(x) are smooth functions on (M, g). We also derive the Harnack differential inequality for the positive solutions of $$u_t(x,t)+\Delta_gu(x,t)+h(x)u(x,t)=A(x)u^p(x,t)+\frac{B(x)}{u^q(x,t)}$$ on (M, g) with initial data u(x, 0) > 0.     

Existence results for nonlinear fractional differential equations in <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>[0, <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>)

In this paper, we investigate the existence results for fractional differential equations of the form

$$\begin{aligned} {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} D_{c}^{q}x(t)=f(t,x(t)) \quad t\in [0, T)\left( 0<T\le \infty \right) , \quad q \in (1,2),\\ x(0)=a_{0},\quad x^{'}(0)=a_{1}, \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}$$

(0.1)

and

$$\begin{aligned} {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} D_{c}^{q}x(t)=f(t,x(t)) \quad t\in [0, T), \quad q \in (0,1),\\ x(0)=a_{0}, \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}$$

(0.2)

where \(D_{c}^{q}\) is the Caputo fractional derivative. We prove the above equations have solutions in C[0, T). Particularly, we present the existence and uniqueness results for the above equations on \([0,+\infty )\).

     

Positive Solutions of a Third-Order Boundary Value Problem with Full Nonlinearity

This paper is concerned with the existence of positive solutions of the third-order boundary value problem with full nonlinearity

$$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{lll} u'''(t)&{}=f(t,u(t),u'(t),u''(t)),\quad t\in [0,1],\\ u(0)&{}=u'(1)=u''(1)=0, \end{array}\right. \end{aligned}$$

where \(f:[0,1]\times \mathbb {R}^+\times \mathbb {R}^+\times \mathbb {R}^-\rightarrow \mathbb {R}^+\) is continuous. Under some inequality conditions on f as |(x, y, z)| small or large enough, the existence results of positive solution are obtained. These inequality conditions allow that f(t, x, y, z) may be superlinear, sublinear or asymptotically linear on x, y and z as \(|(x,y,z)|\rightarrow 0\) and \(|(x,y,z)|\rightarrow \infty \). For the superlinear case as \(|(x,y,z)|\rightarrow \infty \), a Nagumo-type growth condition is presented to restrict the growth of f on y and z. Our discussion is based on the fixed point index theory in cones.

     

Existence results to positive solutions of fractional BVP with $${\varvec{}}$$-derivatives

This paper investigates the existence and uniqueness of positive and nondecreasing solution for nonlinear boundary value problem with fractional q-derivative

$$\begin{aligned}&D_{q}^{\alpha }u(t)+f(t,u(t))=0, \quad {0<t<1, ~3<\alpha \le 4,} \\&u(0)= D_{q}u(0)=D_{q}^{2}u(0)=0, \quad D_{q}^{2}u(1)=\beta D_{q}^{2}u(\eta ), \end{aligned}$$

where \(D_{q}^{\alpha }\) denotes the Riemann–Liouville q-derivative of order \(\alpha \), \(0<\eta <1\) and \(1-\beta \eta ^{\alpha -3}>0\). Our analysis relies a fixed point theorem in partially ordered sets. An example to illustrate our results is given.

     

Existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions for nonlinear fractional differential equations

In this paper, we consider the existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions for nonlinear fractional differential equation boundary-value problem $$\left\{ \begin{array}{@{}l}-D^{\alpha}_{0+}u(t)=f(t,u(t)), \quad t\in[0,1]\\[3pt]u(0)=u(1)=u''(0)=0\end{array} \right.$$ where 2<????3 is a real number, and $D^{\alpha}_{0+}$ is the Caputo??s fractional derivative, and f:[0,1]×[0,+??)??[0,+??) is continuous. By means of a fixed-point theorem on cones, some existence, nonexistence and multiplicity of positive solutions are obtained.
