Constructive proof for existence of nonlinear two-point boundary value problems

Owing to the importance of differential equations in physics, the existence of solutions for differential equations has been paid much attention. In this paper, the existence of solution are obtained for the nonlinear second order two-point boundary value problem in the reproducing kernel space. Under certain assumptions on right-hand side, we propose constructive proof for the existence result, and a method is presented to obtain the exact solution expressed by the form of series. This paper is a extension of previous paper [Wei Jiang, Minggen Cui, The exact solution and stability analysis for integral equation of third or first kind with singular kernel, Appl. Math. Comput. 202 (2) (2008) 666-674], which extends a method of solving linear problems to present method for solving nonlinear problems.     

Concerning existence theorems for some problems of elasticity theory

We prove an existence theorem for the statistical elasticity theory equation for a homogeneous incompressible medium and its extension to the second and third boundary value problem case. We demonstrate, in the case of the first, second, and third problems that, as the solution of the elasticity theory equation with Lamé constants and converges to the solutions of the respective equations for incompressible material. An existence theorem in the rectangle is demonstrated for the third boundary value problem inw _q ² .Translated from Matematicheskie Zametki, Vol. 17, No. 4, pp. 599–609, April, 1975.     

General existence theorems, alternative theorems and applications to minimax problems

We establish general theorems on maximal elements, coincidence points and nonempty intersections for set-valued mappings on GFC-spaces and show their equivalence. Applying them we derive equivalent forms of alternative theorems. As applications, we develop in detail general types of minimax theorems. The results obtained improve or include as special cases several recent ones in the literature.     

Constructive existence and uniqueness for some nonlinear two-point boundary value problems

Constructive existence and uniqueness theorems are presented for the problem $\text{y″ = ?(x, y), y(0) = y}{}_0\text{, y(1) = y}{}_1$. Applications to several problems are also given including one in which the boundary values are y′(0) = y′₀, y(1) = y₁.     

Invariant-point theorems and existence of solutions to optimization-related problems

To consider existence of solutions to various optimization-related problems, we first develop some equivalent versions of invariant-point theorems. Next, they are employed to derive sufficient conditions for the solution existence for two general models of variational relation and inclusion problems. We also prove the equivalence of these conditions with the above-mentioned invariant-point theorems. In applications, we include consequences of these results to a wide range of particular cases, from relatively general inclusion problems to classical results as Ekeland’s variational principle, and practical situations like traffic networks and non-cooperative games, to illustrate application possibilities of our general results. Many examples are provided to explain advantages of the obtained results and also to motivate in detail our problem settings.     

On topological existence theorems and applications to optimization-related problems

In this paper, we establish a continuous selection theorem and use it to derive five equivalent results on the existence of fixed points, sectional points, maximal elements, intersection points and solutions of variational relations, all in topological settings without linear structures. Then, we study the solution existence of a number of optimization-related problems as examples of applications of these results: quasivariational inclusions, Stampacchia-type vector equilibrium problems, Nash equilibria, traffic networks, saddle points, constrained minimization, and abstract economies.     

Constructive existence and uniqueness for two-point boundary-value problems with a linear gradient term

Constructive existence and uniqueness theorems are established for nonlinear two-point boundary-value problems governed by the equation y″=f(x, y)+p(x)y′, 0?x?1. The existence and uniqueness is established for functions y(x) that satisfy a certain constraint, i.e., that sfncy(x)sfnc is bounded by a known function or that 0?y(x)?M for some M. Applications to scientific problems in the literature are given.     

Lower closure and existence theorems for optimal control problems with infinite horizon

Lower closure theorems are proved for optimal control problems governed by ordinary differential equations for which the interval of definition may be unbounded. One theorem assumes that Cesari's property (Q) holds. Two theorems are proved which do not require property (Q), but assume either a generalized Lipschitz condition or a bound on the controls in an appropriateL _p-space. An example shows that these hypotheses can hold without property (Q) holding.     

Comparison theorems and existence theorems for ordinary differential equations

We are concerned with uniqueness and existence theorems for two point boundary value problems for the nonlinear differential equation Ly = f(x, y), where L is the classical nth order linear differential operator. In proving our results interesting comparison theorems are proven for linear differential equations.     

New existence theorems for quasi-equilibrium problems and a minimax theorem on complete metric spaces

Motivated by the Suzuki’s type fixed point theorems, we give several new existence theorems for scalar quasi-equilibrium problems, and vector quasi-equilibrium problem on complete metric spaces. We give important examples for our results. Note that the solution of quasi-equilibrium problem (resp. vector quasi-equilibrium problem) is unique under suitable conditions, and we can find the unique solution by the Picard iteration. Besides, we also give a new coincidence theorem on complete metric spaces. Finally, we give a new minimax theorem on complete metric spaces. Note that the solution of minimax theorem is unique under suitable conditions, and we can find the unique solution by the Picard iteration.     

Dual existence theorems for a special class of linear programming problems in reflexive Banach lattices

In this work the existence of dual optimal solutions for a special class of linear programming problems in a reflexive Banach space is investigated. Then these statements are applied to linear optimization problems with Noethebian operator-constraints. Finally, a maximal condition for an optimal control problem with Noehebiari operator: constraints its Derived in L _∞[0,T].

     

Some fixed point theorems and existence of positive solutions of two-point boundary-value problems

Three theorems are obtained for the existence of at least one or three fixed points for a completely continuous mapping, which extend the Krasnoselskii’s compression–expansion theorem in cones. Based on them two theorems for the existence of positive solutions of two-point boundary-value problems are proved under a quite relaxed condition compared with the existing literature.
