Robustness of strong stability of semigroups

In this paper we study the preservation of strong stability of strongly continuous semigroups on Hilbert spaces. In particular, we study a situation where the generator of the semigroup has a finite number of spectral points on the imaginary axis and the norm of its resolvent operator is polynomially bounded near these points. We characterize classes of perturbations preserving the strong stability of the semigroup. In addition, we improve recent results on preservation of polynomial stability of a semigroup under perturbations of its generator. Theoretic results are illustrated with an example where we consider the preservation of the strong stability of a multiplication semigroup.     

A stability and numerical study of the solutions of a Timoshenko system with distributed delay

In this work, we analyze the stability of the semigroup associated with a Timoshenko beam model with distributed delay in the rotation angle equation. We show that the type of stability resulting from the semigroup is directly related to some model coefficients, which constitute the velocities of the system's component equations. In the case of stability of the polynomial type, we prove that rate obtained is optimal. We conclude the work performing a numerical study of the solutions and their energies, associated to discrete system.     

Well‐posedness and energy decay of solutions to a wave equation with a general boundary control of diffusive type

In this paper, we study well‐posedness and asymptotic stability of a wave equation with a general boundary control condition of diffusive type. We prove that the system lacks exponential stability. Furthermore, we show an explicit and general decay rate result, using the semigroup theory of linear operators and an estimate on the resolvent of the generator associated with the semigroup.     

Robustness of strongly and polynomially stable semigroups

In this paper we study the robustness properties of strong and polynomial stability of semigroups of operators. We show that polynomial stability of a semigroup is robust with respect to a large and easily identifiable class of perturbations to its infinitesimal generator. The presented results apply to general polynomially stable semigroups and bounded perturbations. The conditions on the perturbations generalize well-known criteria for the preservation of exponential stability of semigroups. We also show that the general results can be improved if the perturbation is of finite rank or if the semigroup is generated by a Riesz-spectral operator. The theory is applied to deriving concrete conditions for the preservation of stability of a strongly stabilized one-dimensional wave equation.     

Stability and asymptotic behavior of solutions for some linear partial functional differential equations in critical cases

In this work, we study the stability of the solution semigroup for some linear partial functional differential equations with infinite delay in a Banach space when the exponential stability fails. We use the so-called characteristic equation to compute the order of each pole of the resolvent operator associated with the infinitesimal generator of the solution semigroup. This result allows us to give sufficient conditions for having stability of the solution semigroup.     

On the decay of solutions in nonsimple elastic solids with memory

The decay of solutions in nonsimple elasticity with memory is addressed, analyzing how the decay rate is influenced by the different dissipation mechanisms appearing in the equations. In particular, a first order dissipation is shown to guarantee the asymptotic stability of the related solution semigroup, but is not strong enough to entail exponential stability. The latter occurs for a dissipation mechanism of the second order, that is, the same order as the one of the leading operator.     

Mindlin–Timoshenko systems with Kelvin–Voigt: analyticity and optimal decay rates

This paper is concerned with asymptotic stability of Mindlin–Timoshenko plates with dissipation of Kelvin–Voigt type on the equations for the rotation angles. We prove that the corresponding evolution semigroup is analytic if a viscoelastic damping is also effective over the equation for the transversal displacements. On the contrary, if the transversal displacement is undamped, we show that the semigroup is neither analytic nor exponentially stable. In addition, in the latter case, we show that the solution decays polynomially and we prove that the decay rate found is optimal.     

Stability of Jensen functional equation on semigroups

In this paper we introduce a Jensen type functional equation on semigroups and study the Hyers-Ulam stability of this equation. It is proved that every semigroup can be embedded into a semigroup in which the Jensen equation is stable.

Existence,uniqueness, and stability of nonlinear evolution equations

In this paper we study existence, uniqueness, and stability of nonlinear evolution equations. We develop a new type of perturbation result for a C₀ semigroup in Banach space, where the nonlinear operators are not necessarily m-accretive or everywhere defined. Assuming that the semigroup has a smoothing property we obtain local existence, uniqueness and regularity results. We then establish a Liapunov theory which enables us to examine stability. To illustrate our theory several simple examples are presented.     

Polynomial stability of semigroups generated by operator matrices

In this paper, we study the stability properties of strongly continuous semigroups generated by block operator matrices. We consider triangular and full operator matrices whose diagonal operator blocks generate polynomially stable semigroups. As our main results, we present conditions under which also the semigroup generated by the operator matrix is polynomially stable. The theoretical results are used to derive conditions for the polynomial stability of a system consisting of a two-dimensional and a one-dimensional damped wave equation.     

Linear stability and positivity results for a generalized size-structured Daphnia model with inflow§

We employ semigroup and spectral methods to analyze the linear stability of positive stationary solutions of a generalized size-structured Daphnia model. Using the regularity properties of the governing semigroup, we are able to formulate a general stability condition, which permits an intuitively clear interpretation in a special case of model ingredients. Moreover, we derive a comprehensive instability criterion that reduces to an elegant instability condition for the classical Daphnia population model in terms of the inherent net reproduction rate of Daphnia individuals.     

Asymptotics and analytic modes for the wave equation in similarity coordinates

We consider the radial wave equation in similarity coordinates within the semigroup formalism. It is known that the generator of the semigroup exhibits a continuum of eigenvalues and embedded in this continuum there exists a discrete set of eigenvalues with analytic eigenfunctions. Our results show that, for sufficiently regular data, the long-time behaviour of the solution is governed by the analytic eigenfunctions. The same techniques are applied to the linear stability problem for the fundamental self-similar solution χ _T of the wave equation with a focusing power nonlinearity. Analogous to the free wave equation, we show that the long-time behaviour (in similarity coordinates) of linear perturbations around χ _T is governed by analytic mode solutions. In particular, this yields a rigorous proof for the linear stability of χ _T with the sharp decay rate for the perturbations.      

Difference operators as semigroup generators

In this paper we examine difference operators with constant coefficients. We show that the type of the generated semigroup is determined by a matrix \mathbbB\mathbb{B}, originating from the domain of the operator. Moreover, we provide necessary and sufficient conditions for exponential and polynomial stability of the semigroup in terms of the matrix \mathbbB\mathbb{B}, using results of A. Borichev and Y. Tomilov. We close the paper with an application of our results to flows in networks.     

Necessary and sufficient conditions for the regularity and stability of solutions for some partial neutral functional differential equations with infinite delay

In this paper we give necessary and sufficient conditions for the regularity and stability of solutions for some partial neutral functional differential equations with infinite delay. We establish also a generalization and extension of the characterization of the infinitesimal generator of the solution semigroup. To illustrate our abstract results, we study the stability of the neutral Lotka-Volterra model with diffusion.     

Local and Global Properties of Nonautonomous Dynamical Systems and Their Application to Competition Models

We develop the inheritance principle for local properties by the global Poincare mapping of nonautonomous dynamical systems. Namely, if a semigroup property is uniformly locally universal then it is enjoyed by the global Poincare mapping. In studying the global dynamics of competitors in a periodic medium, the crucial role is played by the multiplicative semigroup of the so-called sign-invariant matrices. We give geometric criteria for stability of equilibria (periodic solutions) in competition models.     

On numerical density approximations of solutions of SDEs with unbounded coefficients

We study a numerical method to compute probability density functions of solutions of stochastic differential equations. The method is sometimes called the numerical path integration method and has been shown to be fast and accurate in application oriented fields. In this paper we provide a rigorous analysis of the method that covers systems of equations with unbounded coefficients. Working in a natural space for densities, L ¹, we obtain stability, consistency, and new convergence results for the method, new well-posedness and semigroup generation results for the related Fokker-Planck-Kolmogorov equation, and a new and rigorous connection to the corresponding probability density functions for both the approximate and the exact problems. To prove the results we combine semigroup and PDE arguments in a new way that should be of independent interest.

右型A半群的F-覆盖

A right adequate semigroup of type F is defined as a right adequate semigroup which is an F-rpp semigroup. A right adequate semigroup T of type F is called an F-cover for a right type-A semigroup S if S is the image of T under an L＊-homomorphism. In this paper, we will prove that any right type-A monoid has F-covers and then establish the structure of F-covers for a given right type-A monoid. Our results extend and enrich the related results for inverse semigroups.
