Bifurcation method for solving multiple positive solutions to Henon equation

Three algorithms based on the bifurcation method are applied to solving the D4 symmetric positive solutions to the boundary value problem of Henon equation. Taking r in Henon equation as a bi- furcation parameter, the D4-Σd(D4-Σ1, D4-Σ2) symmetry-breaking bifurcation points on the branch of the D4 symmetric positive solutions are found via the extended systems. Finally, Σd(Σ1, Σ2) sym- metric positive solutions are computed by the branch switching method based on the Liapunov-Schmidt reduction.     

Bifurcation method for solving multiple positive solutions to Henon equation on the unit cube

Three algorithms based on the bifurcation method are applied to solving the D₄(3) symmetric positive solutions to the boundary value problem of Henon equation. Taking r in Henon equation as a bifurcation parameter, the symmetry-breaking bifurcation points are found via the extended systems on the branch of the D₄(3) symmetric positive solutions. Finally, other symmetric positive solutions are computed by the branch switching method based on the Liapunov–Schmidt reduction.     

On homotopy continuation method for computing multiple solutions to the Henon equation

Motivated by numerical examples in solving semilinear elliptic PDEs for multiple solutions, some properties of Newton homotopy continuation method, such as its continuation on symmetries, the Morse index, and certain functional structures, are established. Those results provide useful information on selecting initial points for the method to find desired solutions. As an application, a bifurcation diagram, showing the symmetry/peak breaking phenomena of the Henon equation, is constructed. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Bifurcation and stability of solutions to a logistic equation with harvesting

In this paper, we study the global structure of the positive solutions to a logistic equation with constant yield harvesting under Neumann boundary value conditions. Moreover, we show that the logistic equation with the variable coefficients has exactly either zero, or one, or two solutions depending on the harvesting parameter.

Bifurcation of periodic solutions for a semilinear wave equation

Bifurcation of time periodic solutions and their regularity are proved for a semilinear wave equation, u_tt?u_xx?λu=f(λ,x,u),x?(0,π), t?R, together with Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions at x = 0 and x = π. The set of values of the real parameter λ where bifurcation from the trivial solution u = 0 occurs is dense in $\text{R}$.

On positive solutions of a semilinear equation

A semilinear elliptic equation is considered in a domain with smooth boundary. The authors prove the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions of different types, singular at an inner point, subject to the Dirichlet boundary conditions. Bibliography: 13 titles.

Bifurcation of travelling wave solutions for the modified dispersive water wave equation

The method of bifurcation of planar dynamical systems and method of numerical simulation of differential equations are employed to investigate the modified dispersive water wave equation. We obtain the parameter bifurcation sets that divide the parameter space into different regions which correspond to qualitatively different phase portraits. In different regions, different types of travelling solutions including solitary wave solutions, shock wave solutions and periodic wave solutions are simulated. Furthermore, with a generalized projective Riccati equation method, several new explicit exact solutions are obtained.     

Properties of positive solutions to an elliptic equation with negative exponent

In this paper, we study some quantitative properties of positive solutions to a singular elliptic equation with negative power on the bounded smooth domain or in the whole Euclidean space. Our model arises in the study of the steady states of thin films and other applied physics as well as differential geometry. We can get some useful local gradient estimate and L¹ lower bound for positive solutions of the elliptic equation. A uniform positive lower bound for convex positive solutions is also obtained. We show that in lower dimensions, there is no stable positive solutions in the whole space. In the whole space of dimension two, we can show that there is no positive smooth solution with finite Morse index. Symmetry properties of related integral equations are also given.     

Bifurcation of periodic solutions of delay differential equation with two delays

In this paper, we develop Kaplan-Yorke's method and consider the existence of periodic solutions for delay differential equations with two delays. Especially, we study Hopf and saddle-node bifurcations of periodic solutions for the equation with parameters, and give conditions under which the bifurcations occur.     

On two classes of matrices with positive diagonal solutions to the Lyapunov equation

We characterize real indecomposable quasi-Jacobi matrices of class $\text{D}$, i.e., those which satisfy the Lyapunov equation PA + A′P = ?Q with P diagonal and both P and Q positive definite. The subclass $\text{D}$₂ (of class $\text{D}$) when also Q is diagonal is also characterized in the case of general indecomposable real matrices.     

Bifurcation of travelling wave solutions in a nonlinear variant of the RLW equation

By using the method of planar dynamical systems to a nonlinear variant of the regularized long-wave equation (RLW equation in short), the existence of smooth and non-smooth solitary wave (so called peakon and valleyon) and infinite many periodic wave solutions is shown. Under different regions of parametric spaces, various sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of above solutions are given. The formulas to compute the travelling waves are also educed. We notice that some results in [Wazwaz AM. Analytic study on nonlinear variants of the RLW and the PHI-four equations.
