Orbital stability of periodic traveling wave solutions to the generalized Long-Short wave equations

This paper investigates the orbital stability of periodic traveling wave solutions to the generalized Long-Short wave equations $\left\{\begin{array}{l}i\varepsilon_{t}+\varepsilon_{xx}=n\varepsilon+\alpha|\varepsilon|^{2}\varepsilon,\\n_{t}=(|\varepsilon|^{2})_{x}, x\in R.\end{array} \right.$ Firstly, we show that there exist a smooth curve of positive traveling wave solutions of dnoidal type with a fixed fundamental period $L$ for the generalized Long-Short wave equations. Then, combining the classical method proposed by Benjamin, Bona et al., and detailed spectral analysis given by using Lame equation and Floquet theory, we show that the dnoidal type periodic wave solution is orbitally stable by perturbations with period $L$. As the modulus of the Jacobian elliptic function $k\rightarrow 1$, we obtain the orbital stability results of solitary wave solution with zero asymptotic value for the generalized Long-Short equations. In particular, as $\alpha=0$, we can also obtain the orbital stability results of periodic wave solutions and solitary wave solutions for the long-short wave resonance equations. The results in the present paper improve and extend the previous stability results of long-shore wave equations and its extension equations.     

Nonlinear stability in reaction-diffusion systems via optimal Lyapunov functions

We define optimal Lyapunov functions to study nonlinear stability of constant solutions to reaction-diffusion systems. A computable and finite radius of attraction for the initial data is obtained. Applications are given to the well-known Brusselator model and a three-species model for the spatial spread of rabies among foxes.     

Orbital stability of periodic traveling wave solutions to the generalized zakharov equations

This paper investigates the orbital stability of periodic traveling wave solutions to the generalized Zakharov equations

$\{\begin{array}{c}i{u}_t+u_{xx}=uv+|u{|}^{2}u,\\ v_{tt}-v_{xx}=\left(|u{|}^2\right)xx\end{array}.$

First, we prove the existence of a smooth curve of positive traveling wave solutions of dnoidal type with a fixed fundamental period L for the generalized Zakharov equations. Then, by using the classical method proposed by Benjamin, Bona et al., we show that this solution is orbitally stable by perturbations with period L. The results on the orbital stability of periodic traveling wave solutions for the generalized Zakharov equations in this paper can be regarded as a perfect extension of the results of [15, 16, 19].

Bounded traveling waves of the oceanic currents motion equations

The bifurcation methods of differential equations are employed to investigate traveling waves of the oceanic currents motion equations. The sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of different kinds of bounded traveling wave solutions are rigorously determined. Further, due to the existence of a singular line in the corresponding traveling wave system, the smooth periodic traveling wave solutions gradually lose their smoothness and evolve to periodic cusp waves. The results of numerical simulation accord with theoretical analysis.     

Nonlinear stability of general linear methods for neutral delay differential equations

This paper is concerned with the numerical solution of neutral delay differential equations (NDDEs). We focus on the stability of general linear methods with piecewise linear interpolation. The new concepts of GS(p)$GS\left(p\right)$-stability, GAS(p)$GAS\left(p\right)$-stability and weak GAS(p)$GAS\left(p\right)$-stability are introduced. These stability properties for (k,p,0)$(k,p,0)$-algebraically stable general linear methods (GLMs) are further investigated. Some extant results are unified.     

Periodically forced nonlinear systems of difference equations

The existance of nontrivial (x=0( periodic solutions of a general class of periodic nonlinear difference equations is proved using bifurcation theory methods. Specifically, the existance of a global continuum of nontrivial periodicsolutions that bifurcates from the trivial solution (x=0) is proved. Conditions are given under which the nontrivial solutions are positive. A prerrequisite Fredholm and adjoint operator theory for linear periodic systems is developed. An application to application dynamics is made.     

Global stability of traveling wavefronts for nonlocal reaction-diffusion equations with time delay

This paper is concerned with the stability of traveling wavefronts for a population dynamics model with time delay. Combining the weighted energy method and the comparison principle, the global exponential stability of noncritical traveling wavefronts(waves with speeds c c_*, where c = c~* is the minimal speed) is established, when the initial perturbations around the wavefront decays to zero exponentially in space as x →-∞, but it can be allowed arbitrary large in other locations, which improves the results in [9, 18, 21].     

Global stability of stationary solutions of reaction-diffusion systems

We give a condition which implies that the trivial solution, U ≡ 0, of a class of reaction-diffusion systems with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions, is a global attractor for all nonnegative solutions. In certain cases, this condition, which relates the diffusion matrix and the domain to a parameter which depends on the nonlinear term, significantly improves similar conditions which can be obtained from energy estimates. Applications are given to equations arising in mathematical ecology.     

Orbital stability of standing waves for semilinear wave equations with indefinite energy

The orbital stability of standing waves for semilinear wave equations is studied in the case that the energy is indefinite and the underlying space domain is bounded or a compact manifold or whole Rn with n?2. The stability is determined by the convexity on ω of the lowest energy d(ω) of standing waves with frequency ω. The arguments rely on the conservation of energy and charge and the construction of suitable invariant manifolds of solution flows.

Blow-up and global solutions for nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with nonlinear boundary condition

This paper deals with the blow-up of positive solutions for a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation subject to nonlinear boundary conditions. We obtain the conditions under which the solutions may exist globally or blow up in finite time. Moreover, an upper bound of the blow-up time, an upper estimate of the blow-up rate, and an upper estimate of the global solutions are given. At last we give two examples to which the theorems obtained in the paper may be applied.     

A remark on stable subharmonic solutions of time-periodic reaction-diffusion equations

This paper is concerned with a time-periodic reaction-diffusion equation. It is known that typical trajectories approach periodic solutions with possibly longer period than that of the equation. Such solutions are called subharmonic solutions. In this paper, for any domain Ω, time-period τ>0 and integer n?2, we construct an example of a time-periodic reaction-diffusion equation on Ω with a minimal period τ which possesses a stable solution of minimal period nτ.
