A regularization for discontinuous differential equations with application to state-dependent delay differential equations of neutral type

We consider a regularization for a class of discontinuous differential equations arising in the study of neutral delay differential equations with state dependent delays. For such equations the possible discontinuity in the derivative of the solution at the initial point may propagate along the integration interval giving rise to so-called “breaking points”, where the solution derivative is again discontinuous. Consequently, the problem of continuing the solution in a right neighborhood of a breaking point is equivalent to a Cauchy problem for an ode with a discontinuous right-hand side (see e.g. Bellen et al., 2009 [4]). Therefore a classical solution may cease to exist.The regularization is based on the replacement of the vector-field with its time average over an interval of length ε>0. The regularized solution converges as ε→⁰⁺ to the classical Filippov solution (Filippov, 1964, 1988 [13] and [14]). Several properties of the solutions corresponding to small ε>0 are presented.     

Representation Formulas for Solutions of the HJI Equations with Discontinuous Coefficients and Existence of Value in Differential Games

In this paper, we study the Hamilton-Jacobi-Isaacs equation of zerosum differential games with discontinuous running cost. For such class of equations, the uniqueness of the solutions is not guaranteed in general. We prove principles of optimality for viscosity solutions where one of the players can play either causal strategies or only a subset of continuous strategies. This allows us to obtain nonstandard representation formulas for the minimal and maximal viscosity solutions and prove that a weak form of the existence of value is always satisfied. We state also an explicit uniqueness result for the HJI equations for piecewise continuous coefficients, in which case the usual statement on the existence of value holds.     

Lévy-driven Volterra Equations in Space and Time

We investigate nonlinear stochastic Volterra equations in space and time that are driven by Lévy bases. Under a Lipschitz condition on the nonlinear term, we give existence and uniqueness criteria in weighted function spaces that depend on integrability properties of the kernel and the characteristics of the Lévy basis. Particular attention is devoted to equations with stationary solutions, or more generally, to equations with infinite memory, that is, where the time domain of integration starts at minus infinity. Here, in contrast to the case where time is positive, the usual integrability conditions on the kernel are no longer sufficient for the existence and uniqueness of solutions, but we have to impose additional size conditions on the kernel and the Lévy characteristics. Furthermore, once the existence of a solution is guaranteed, we analyze its asymptotic stability, that is, whether its moments remain bounded when time goes to infinity. Stability is proved whenever kernel and characteristics are small enough, or the nonlinearity of the equation exhibits a fractional growth of order strictly smaller than one. The results are applied to the stochastic heat equation for illustration.     

Faedo–Galerkin Approximation of Solution for a Nonlocal Neutral Fractional Differential Equation with Deviating Argument

In this work, we study a class of nonlocal neutral fractional differential equations with deviated argument in the separable Hilbert space. We obtain an associated integral equation and then, consider a sequence of approximate integral equations. We investigate the existence and uniqueness of the mild solution for every approximate integral equation by virtue of the theory of analytic semigroup theory via the technique of Banach fixed point theorem. Next we demonstrate the convergence of the solutions of the approximate integral equations to the solution of the associated integral equation. The Faedo–Galerkin approximation of the solution is studied and demonstrated some convergence results. Finally, we give an example.

     

Existence and uniqueness of solutions of differential equations with respect to non-additive measures

By taking Sugeno-derivative into account, first, we investigate the existence of solutions to the initial value problems (IVP) of first-order differential equations with respect to non-additive measure (more precisely, distorted Lebesgue measure). It particularly occurs in the mathematical modeling of biology. We begin by expressing the differential equation in terms of ordinary derivative and the derivative with respect to the distorted Lebesgue measure. Then, by using the fixed point theorem on cones, we construct an operator and prove the existence of positive non-decreasing solutions on cones in semi-order Banach spaces. In addition, we also use Picard–Lindelöf theorem to prove the existence and uniqueness of the solution of the equation. Second, we investigate the existence of a solution to the boundary value problem (BVP) on cones with integral boundary conditions of a mix-order differential equation with respect to non-additive measures. Moreover, the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem is also applied to both BVP and IVP and obtains at least one positive non-decreasing solution. Examples with graphs are provided to validate the results.     

Approximations of Solutions to Abstract Neutral Functional Differential Equation

In the present work, we study the approximations of solutions to the abstract neutral functional differential equations with bounded delay. We consider an associated integral equation and a sequence of approximate integral equations. We establish the existence and uniqueness of the solutions to every approximate integral equation using the fixed point arguments. We then prove the convergence of the solutions of the approximate integral equations to the solution of the associated integral equation. Next, we consider the Faedo–Galerkin approximations of the solutions and prove some convergence results. Finally, we demonstrate the application of the results established.     

Distributed control for a class of non-Newtonian fluids

We consider control problems with a general cost functional where the state equations are the stationary, incompressible Navier-Stokes equations with shear-dependent viscosity. The equations are quasi-linear. The control function is given as the inhomogeneity of the momentum equation. In this paper, we study a general class of viscosity functions which correspond to shear-thinning or shear-thickening behavior. The basic results concerning existence, uniqueness, boundedness, and regularity of the solutions of the state equations are reviewed. The main topic of the paper is the proof of Gâteaux differentiability, which extends known results. It is shown that the derivative is the unique solution to a linearized equation. Moreover, necessary first-order optimality conditions are stated, and the existence of a solution of a class of control problems is shown.

The paper is mainly concerned with a class of neutral stochastic fractional integro-differential equation with Poisson jumps. First, the existence and uniqueness for mild solution of an impulsive stochastic system driven by Poisson jumps is established by using the Banach fixed point theorem and resolvent operator. The exponential stability in the pth moment for mild solution to neutral stochastic fractional integro-differential equations with Poisson jump is obtained by establishing an integral inequality.

Domain of existence for the solution of some IVP's and BVP's by using an efficient ninth-order iterative method

In this paper, we consider the problem of solving initial value problems and boundary value problems through the point of view of its continuous form. It is well known that in most cases these types of problems are solved numerically by performing a discretization and applying the finite difference technique to approximate the derivatives, transforming the equation into a finite-dimensional nonlinear system of equations. However, we would like to focus on the continuous problem, and therefore, we try to set the domain of existence and uniqueness for its analytic solution. For this purpose, we study the semilocal convergence of a Newton-type method with frozen first derivative in Banach spaces. We impose only the assumption that the Fréchet derivative satisfies the Lipschitz continuity condition and that it is bounded in the whole domain in order to obtain appropriate recurrence relations so that we may determine the domains of convergence and uniqueness for the solution. Our final aim is to apply these theoretical results to solve applied problems that come from integral equations, ordinary differential equations, and boundary value problems.     

An extension of the Wong-Zakai theorem for stochastic evolution equations in Hilbert spaces

In this paper we examine an approximation theorem of the Wong–Zakai type for stochastic evolution equations in a Hilbert space with the noise being the generalized derivative of the Wiener process with values in another Hilbert space. As a consequence of the approximation of the Wiener process we get in the limit equation the Ito correction term for the infinite dimensional case. The obtained result includes the case of stochastic delay equations. The uniqueness and existence of solutions are guaranteed by known theorems for the mild solutions     

Nonlinear Dynamics Equation in p-Adic String Theory

We investigate nonlinear pseudodifferential equations with infinitely many derivatives. These are equations of a new class, and they originally appeared in p-adic string theory. Their investigation is of interest in mathematical physics and its applications, in particular, in string theory and cosmology. We undertake a systematic mathematical investigation of the properties of these equations and prove the main uniqueness theorem for the solution in an algebra of generalized functions. We discuss boundary problems for bounded solutions and prove the existence theorem for spatially homogeneous solutions for odd p. For even p, we prove the absence of a continuous nonnegative solution interpolating between two vacuums and indicate the possible existence of discontinuous solutions. We also consider the multidimensional equation and discuss soliton and q-brane solutions.     

Maximum principle for optimal control of neutral stochastic functional differential systems

This paper is concerned with optimal control of neutral stochastic functional differential equations (NSFDEs). The Pontryagin maximum principle is proved for optimal control, where the adjoint equation is a linear neutral backward stochastic functional equation of Volterra type (VNBSFE). The existence and uniqueness of the solution are proved for the general nonlinear VNBSFEs. Under the convexity assumption of the Hamiltonian function, a sufficient condition for the optimality is addressed as well.

Generalized Cauchy type problems for nonlinear fractional differential equations with composite fractional derivative operator

This paper is devoted to proving the existence and uniqueness of solutions to Cauchy type problems for fractional differential equations with composite fractional derivative operator on a finite interval of the real axis in spaces of summable functions. An approach based on the equivalence of the nonlinear Cauchy type problem to a nonlinear Volterra integral equation of the second kind and applying a variant of the Banach’s fixed point theorem to prove uniqueness and existence of the solution is presented. The Cauchy type problems for integro-differential equations of Volterra type with composite fractional derivative operator, which contain the generalized Mittag-Leffler function in the kernel, are considered. Using the method of successive approximation, and the Laplace transform method, explicit solutions of the open problem proposed by Srivastava and Tomovski (2009) [11] are established in terms of the multinomial Mittag-Leffler function.
