Existence for nonlinear evolution inclusions with nonlocal retarded initial conditions

In this paper, we prove a sufficient condition for the global existence of bounded C⁰-solutions for a class of nonlinear functional differential evolution equation of the form where X is a real Banach space, A is the infinitesimal generator of a nonlinear compact semigroup, is a nonempty, convex, weakly compact valued, and almost strongly–weakly u.s.c. multi-function, and is nonexpansive.     

Pseudo-almost periodic viscosity solutions of second-order nonlinear parabolic equations

In this paper we generalize the comparison result of Bostan and Namah (2007) [8] to the second-order parabolic case and prove two properties of pseudo-almost periodic functions; then by using Perron’s method we prove the existence and uniqueness of time pseudo-almost periodic viscosity solutions of second-order parabolic equations under usual hypotheses.     

Mild solutions of functional semilinear evolution Volterra integrodifferential equations on an unbounded interval

In this paper, we study the existence of mild solutions for initial value problems for semilinear Volterra integrodifferential equations in a Banach space. The arguments are based on the concept of measure of noncompactness in Fréchet space and the Tikhonov fixed point theorem.     

Existence of positive pseudo almost periodic solutions to a class of neutral integral equations

In this work, a new fixed point theorem in partially ordered Banach spaces is established, and then used to prove the existence of positive pseudo almost periodic solutions to a class of neutral integral equations. Our existence theorem extends some recent results due to [E. Ait Dads, P. Cieutat, L. Lhachimi, Positive pseudo almost periodic solutions for some nonlinear infinite delay integral equations, Mathematical and Computer Modelling 49 (2009) 721–739] to a more general class of integral equations.     

Existence of solutions for nonlocal impulsive partial functional integrodifferential equations via fractional operators

In this paper, by using the Leray-Schauder alternative, we have investigated the existence of mild solutions to first-order impulsive partial functional integrodifferential equations with nonlocal conditions in an α-norm. We assume that the linear part generates an analytic compact bounded semigroup, and that the nonlinear part is a Lipschitz continuous function with respect to the fractional power norm of the linear part. An example is also given to illustrate our main results.

Positive solutions of systems of singular Hammerstein integral equations with applications to semilinear elliptic equations in annuli

The existence of multiple positive solutions of systems of singular Hammerstein integral equations is studied, where the nonlinearities involved are allowed to have singularities in their second variables and satisfy weaker conditions involving the first eigenvalues of the corresponding linear Hammerstein integral operators. Such systems contain some mathematical models arising in science and engineering. Applications are given to the existence of multiple positive radial solutions of systems of semilinear singular elliptic equations in annuli on which, to the best of our knowledge, there has been little study.     

1D quintic nonlinear Schrödinger equation with white noise dispersion

In this article, we improve the Strichartz estimates obtained in A. de Bouard, A. Debussche (2010) [12] for the Schrödinger equation with white noise dispersion in one dimension. This allows us to prove global well posedness when a quintic critical nonlinearity is added to the equation. We finally show that the white noise dispersion is the limit of smooth random dispersion.     

Global attractors for doubly nonlinear evolution equations with non-monotone perturbations

This paper addresses the analysis of dynamical systems generated by doubly nonlinear evolution equations governed by subdifferential operators with non-monotone perturbations in a reflexive Banach space setting. In order to construct global attractors, an approach based on the notion of generalized semiflow is employed instead of the usual semigroup approach, since solutions of the Cauchy problem for the equation might not be unique. Moreover, the preceding abstract theory is applied to a generalized Allen-Cahn equation as well as a semilinear parabolic equation with a nonlinear term involving gradients.     

Existence, uniqueness and exponential stability of traveling wave solutions of some integral differential equations arising from neuronal networks

The author is concerned with the existence and exponential stability of traveling wave solutions of some integral differential equations arising from neuronal networks. Previous methods do not apply in solving these problems because there is no maximum principle or conservation laws available to the integral differential equations. He applies fixed point theorems to prove the existence of the traveling waves. Then, he makes use of linearization technique as well as eigenvalue functions to study the exponential stability of the waves.     

Existence and nonexistence of monotone traveling waves for the delayed Fisher equation

In this paper a new approach based on a shooting method in a half line coupled with the technique of upper-lower solution pair is used to study the existence and nonexistence of monotone waves for one form of the delayed Fisher equation that does not have the quasimonotonicity property. A necessary and sufficient condition is provided. This new method can be extended to investigate many other nonlocal and non-monotone delayed reaction-diffusion equations.     

Liouville type theorems for the Euler and the Navier–Stokes equations

We prove Liouville type theorems for weak solutions of the Navier–Stokes and the Euler equations. In particular, if the pressure satisfies p∈L¹(0,T;L¹(RN)) with , then the corresponding velocity should be trivial, namely v=0 on RN×(0,T). In particular, this is the case when p∈L¹(0,T;Hq(RN)), where Hq(RN), q∈(0,1], the Hardy space. On the other hand, we have equipartition of energy over each component, if p∈L¹(0,T;L¹(RN)) with . Similar results hold also for the magnetohydrodynamic equations.     

Existence of solutions and periodic solutions for nonlinear evolution inclusions

In this paper we consider nonlinear-dependent systems with multivalued perturbations in the framework of an evolution triple of spaces. First we prove a surjectivity result for generalized pseudomonotone operators and then we establish two existence theorems: the first for a periodic problem and the second for a Cauchy problem. As applications we work out in detail a periodic nonlinear parabolic partial differential equation and an optimal control problem for a system driven by a nonlinear parabolic equation.     

Mixed monotone iterative technique for a class of semilinear impulsive evolution equations in Banach spaces

This paper deals with the existence of mild L-quasi-solutions to the initial value problem for a class of semilinear impulsive evolution equations in an ordered Banach space E. Under a new concept of upper and lower solutions, a new monotone iterative technique on the initial value problem of impulsive evolution equations has been established. The results improve and extend some relevant results in ordinary differential equations and partial differential equations. An example is also given.     

Superharmonic functions are locally renormalized solutions

We show that different notions of solutions to measure data problems involving p-Laplace type operators and nonnegative source measures are locally essentially equivalent. As an application we characterize singular solutions of multidimensional Riccati type partial differential equations.     

Global solutions and self-similar solutions of semilinear parabolic equations with nonlinear gradient terms

In this paper we consider the Cauchy problem of semilinear parabolic equations with nonlinear gradient terms a(x)|u|^q−1u|∇u|^p. We prove the existence of global solutions and self-similar solutions for small initial data. Moreover, for a class of initial data we show that the global solutions behave asymptotically like self-similar solutions as t→∞.     

Strong trajectory attractors for dissipative Euler equations

The 2D Euler equations with periodic boundary conditions and extra linear dissipative term Ru, R>0 are considered and the existence of a strong trajectory attractor in the space is established under the assumption that the external forces have bounded vorticity. This result is obtained by proving that any solution belonging the proper weak trajectory attractor has a bounded vorticity which implies its uniqueness (due to the Yudovich theorem) and allows to verify the validity of the energy equality on the weak attractor. The convergence to the attractor in the strong topology is then proved via the energy method.     

Existence of positive almost automorphic solutions to nonlinear delay integral equations

This paper is concerned with the existence of positive almost automorphic solutions to some nonlinear delay integral equations. We first establish a new fixed point theorem for mixed monotone operator in a cone, and then, with its help, we obtain existence theorems of positive almost automorphic solutions. Some examples are given to illustrate our results. As one will see, even in the case of almost periodicity, our theorems extend some earlier results, and moreover, the approach dealing with the integral equation arising in an epidemic problem in this paper is also new.
