Minimax theorems and applications to the existence and uniqueness of solutions of some differential equations

In this paper, minimax theorems due to Stepan A. Tersian were generalized, the existence and uniqueness of solutions for several semilinear equations were proved by employing our generalized theorems, and the existence and uniqueness results of nonresonance problem for these semilinear equations under the asymptotic un-uniformity conditions were presented.     

Riemann theta functions periodic wave solutions and rational characteristics for the nonlinear equations

In this paper, based on a multidimensional Riemann theta function, a lucid and straightforward generalization of the Hirota-Riemann method is presented to explicitly construct multiperiodic Riemann theta functions periodic wave solutions for nonlinear equations such as the Caudrey-Dodd-Gibbon-Sawada-Kotera equation and (2+1)-dimensional breaking soliton equation. Among these periodic waves, the one-periodic waves are well-known cnoidal waves, their surface pattern is one-dimensional, and often they are used as one-dimensional models of periodic waves. The two-periodic waves are a direct generalization of one-periodic waves, their surface pattern is two-dimensional so that they have two independent spatial periods in two independent horizontal directions. A limiting procedure is presented to analyze in detail, asymptotic behavior of the multiperiodic waves and the relations between the periodic wave solutions and soliton solutions are rigorously established. This generalized Hirota-Riemann method can also be demonstrated on a class variety of nonlinear difference equations such as Toeplitz lattice equation.     

Remark on uniqueness of mild solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations

We investigate a limiting uniqueness criterion to the Navier-Stokes equations. We prove that the mild solution is unique under the class , where bmo^-1 is the “critical” space including Lⁿ. As an application of uniqueness theorem, we also consider the local well-posedness of Navier-Stokes equations in bmo^-1.     

Improving the high order nonlinearity lower bound for Boolean functions with given algebraic immunity

Algebraic immunity is a recently introduced cryptographic parameter for Boolean functions used in stream ciphers. If pAI(f) and pAI(f⊕1) are the minimum degree of all annihilators of f and f⊕1 respectively, the algebraic immunity AI(f) is defined as the minimum of the two values. Several relations between the new parameter and old ones, like the degree, the r-th order nonlinearity and the weight of the Boolean function, have been proposed over the last few years.In this paper, we improve the existing lower bounds of the r-th order nonlinearity of a Boolean function f with given algebraic immunity. More precisely, we introduce the notion of complementary algebraic immunity defined as the maximum of pAI(f) and pAI(f⊕1). The value of can be computed as part of the calculation of AI(f), with no extra computational cost. We show that by taking advantage of all the available information from the computation of AI(f), that is both AI(f) and , the bound is tighter than all known lower bounds, where only the algebraic immunity AI(f) is used.     

Strong convergence of approximate solutions for nonlinear hyperbolic equation without convexity

Schonbek [M.E. Schonbek, Convergence of solutions to nonlinear dispersive equations, Comm. Partial Differential Equations 7 (1982) 959-1000] obtained the strong convergence of uniform bounded approximate solutions to hyperbolic scalar equation under the assumption that the flux function is strictly convex. While in this paper, by constructing four families of Lax entropies, we succeed in dealing with the non-convexity with the aid of the well-known Bernstein-Weierstrass theorem, and obtaining the strong convergence of uniform L^∞ or bounded viscosity solutions for scalar conservation law without convexity.     

Global existence for the one-dimensional second order semilinear hyperbolic equations

The aim of the paper is to study necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the global solution of the one-dimensional semilinear equation appearing in the boundary value problems of gas dynamics. We investigate the Cauchy problem for such equation in the domain where the operator is weakly hyperbolic. We obtain the necessary condition for the existence of the self-similar solutions for the semilinear Gellerstedt-type equation. The approach used in the paper is based on the fundamental solution of the linear Gellerstedt operator and the Lp-Lq estimates.     

Improved bounds on the supremum of autoconvolutions

We give an improvement of the best known lower bound for the supremum of autoconvolutions of nonnegative functions supported in a compact interval. Also, by means of explicit examples we disprove a long standing natural conjecture of Schinzel and Schmidt concerning the extremal function for such autoconvolutions.     

Fourier multipliers and periodic solutions of delay equations in Banach spaces

In this paper we characterize the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions of inhomogeneous abstract delay equations and establish maximal regularity results for strong solutions. The conditions are obtained in terms of R-boundedness of linear operators determined by the equations and Lp- Fourier multipliers. Periodic mild solutions are also studied and characterized.

Computations of cohomology groups and nontrivial periodic solutions of Hamiltonian systems

By computing the E-critical groups at θ and infinity of the corresponding functional of Hamiltonian systems, we proved the existence of nontrivial periodic solutions for the systems which may be resonant at θ and infinity under some new conditions. Some results in the literature are extended and some new type of theorems are proved. The main tool is the E-Morse theory developed by Kryszewski and Szulkin.

On the convergence of modified Noor iterations with errors for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings

In this paper, several weak and strong convergence theorems are established for a modified Noor iterative scheme with errors for three asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces. Mann-type, Ishikawa-type, and Noor-type iterations are covered by the new iteration scheme. Our results extend and improve the recently announced ones [B.L. Xu, M.A. Noor, Fixed point iterations for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings in Banach spaces, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 267 (2002) 444-453; Y.J. Cho, H. Zhou, G. Guo, Weak and strong convergence theorems for three-step iterations with errors for asymptotically nonexpansive mappings, Comput. Math. Appl. 47 (2004) 707-717] and many others.

Also finite dimensional approximation of these solutions in a Hilbert space is established.     

Periodic solutions for a class of superquadratic Hamiltonian systems

We prove the existence of nontrivial critical points for a class of superquadratic nonautonomous second-order Hamiltonian systems by applying condition ^∗(C) to critical point theory, and some new solvability conditions of nontrivial periodic solutions are obtained.     

Uniform stability of solutions of Boltzmann equation for soft potential with external force

The study of Cauchy problem of the Boltzmann equation is important in both theory and applications. Existence of global solutions to the equation and uniform stability of solutions in the absence of external force were introduced in the previous work on the Boltzmann equation. In this paper, we will investigate the uniform stability of solutions in L¹ for the Cauchy problem of the Boltzmann equation when there is an external force for the case of soft potentials.
