Oscillation criteria related to integral averaging technique for linear matrix Hamiltonian systems

By employing a generalized Riccati technique and an integral averaging technique, new oscillation criteria are established for the linear matrix Hamiltonian system U′=A(x)U+B(x)V, V′=C(x)U−A∗(x)V under the assumption that all A(x), B(x)=B∗(x)>0, and C(x)=C∗(x) are n×n matrices of real-valued continuous functions on the interval I=[x₀,∞) (−∞<x₀). These criteria extend, improve, and unify a number of existing results and also handle cases not covered by known criteria. Several interesting examples that illustrate the importance of our results are included.     

Nonintegral criterion for oscillations of linear Hamiltonian matrix systems

In this paper we present nonintegral criteria for oscillation of linear Hamiltonian matrix system U^′=A(x)U+B(x)V, V^′=C(x)U−A^*(x)V under the hypothesis (H): A(x), B(x)=B^*(x)>0, and C(x)=C^*(x) are 2×2 matrices of real valued continuous functions on the interval I=[a,∞),(−∞<a). These criteria are conditions of algebraic type only. Our results are also useful for the detection of the oscillation of particular matrix differential systems.     

Oscillation of linear Hamiltonian systems

We establish new oscillation criteria for linear Hamiltonian systems using monotone functionals on a suitable matrix space. In doing so we develop new criteria for oscillation involving general monotone functionals instead of the usual largest eigenvalue. Our results are new even in the particular case of self-adjoint second order differential systems.

     

Oscillatory behavior of linear matrix Hamiltonian systems

We establish some new oscillation criteria for the matrix linear Hamiltonian system X ′ = A (t)X + B (t)Y, Y ′ = C (t)X –A *(t)Y by using a new function class X and monotone functionals on a suitable matrix space. In doing so, many existing results are generalized and improved. (© 2007 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

New oscillation criteria for linear matrix Hamiltonian systems

Some new oscillation criteria are established for the matrix linear Hamiltonian system X′=A(t)X+B(t)Y, Y′=C(t)X−A∗(t)Y under the hypothesis: A(t), B(t)=B∗(t)>0, and C(t)=C∗(t) are n×n real continuous matrix functions on the interval [t₀,∞), (−∞<t₀). These results are sharper than some previous results even for self-adjoint second order matrix differential systems.

Self-adjoint extensions for linear Hamiltonian systems with two singular endpoints

This paper is concerned with self-adjoint extensions for a linear Hamiltonian system with two singular endpoints. The domain of the closure of the corresponding minimal Hamiltonian operator H₀ is described by properties of its elements at the endpoints of the discussed interval, decompositions of the domains of the corresponding left and right maximal Hamiltonian operators are provided, and expressions of the defect indices of H₀ in terms of those of the left and right minimal operators are given. Based on them, characterizations of all the self-adjoint extensions for a Hamiltonian system are obtained in terms of square integrable solutions. As a consequence, the characterizations of all the self-adjoint extensions are given for systems in several special cases.

Linear transformation and oscillation criteria for Hamiltonian systems

Using a linear transformation similar to the Kummer transformation, some new oscillation criteria for linear Hamiltonian systems are established. These results generalize and improve the oscillation criteria due to I.S. Kumari and S. Umanaheswaram [I. Sowjaya Kumari, S. Umanaheswaram, Oscillation criteria for linear matrix Hamiltonian systems, J. Differential Equations 165 (2000) 174-198], Q. Yang et al. [Q. Yang, R. Mathsen, S. Zhu, Oscillation theorems for self-adjoint matrix Hamiltonian systems, J. Differential Equations 190 (2003) 306-329], and S. Chen and Z. Zheng [Shaozhu Chen, Zhaowen Zheng, Oscillation criteria of Yan type for linear Hamiltonian systems, Comput. Math. Appl. 46 (2003) 855-862]. These criteria also unify many of known criteria in literature and simplify the proofs.     

Spectral theory of discrete linear Hamiltonian systems

This paper is concerned with spectral problems for a class of discrete linear Hamiltonian systems with self-adjoint boundary conditions, where the existence and uniqueness of solutions of initial value problems may not hold. A suitable admissible function space and a difference operator are constructed so that the operator is self-adjoint in the space. Then a series of spectral results are obtained: the reality of eigenvalues, the completeness of the orthogonal normalized eigenfunction system, Rayleigh's principle, the minimax theorem and the dual orthogonality. Especially, the number of eigenvalues including multiplicities and the number of linearly independent eigenfunctions are calculated.

The Glazman-Krein-Naimark theory for a class of discrete Hamiltonian systems

In this paper, the Glazman-Krein-Naimark theory for a class of discrete Hamiltonian systems is developed. A minimal and a maximal operators, GKN-sets, and a boundary space for the system are introduced. Algebraic characterizations of the domains of self-adjoint extensions of the minimal operator are given. A close relationship between the domains of self-adjoint extensions and the GKN-sets is established. It is shown that there exist one-to-one correspondences among the set of all the self-adjoint extensions, the set of all the d-dimensional Lagrangian subspaces of the boundary space, and the set of all the complete Lagrangian subspaces of the boundary space.     

Oscillation theorems for linear Hamiltonian systems with nonlinear dependence on the spectral parameter and the comparative index

We consider linear Hamiltonian differential systems which depend in general nonlinearly on the spectral parameter and with Dirichlet boundary conditions. In our consideration we do not impose any controllability and strict normality assumptions and omit the Legendre condition for the Hamiltonian. We adapt the theory developed by A.A. Abramov for the Hamiltonian spectral problems based on piecewise constant transformations of their conjoined bases using the notion of the comparative index. We introduce the concept of oscillation numbers which generalize the notion of proper focal points and prove the oscillation theorem relating the number of finite eigenvalues in the given interval with the values of the oscillation numbers at the end points of this interval.     

Oscillation theorems and Rayleigh principle for linear Hamiltonian and symplectic systems with general boundary conditions

The aim of this paper is to establish the oscillation theorems, Rayleigh principle, and coercivity results for linear Hamiltonian and symplectic systems with general boundary conditions, i.e., for the case of separated and jointly varying endpoints, and with no controllability (normality) and strong observability assumptions. Our method is to consider the time interval as a time scale and apply suitable time scales techniques to reduce the problem with separated endpoints into a problem with Dirichlet boundary conditions, and the problem with jointly varying endpoints into a problem with separated endpoints. These more general results on time scales then provide new results for the continuous time linear Hamiltonian systems as well as for the discrete symplectic systems. This paper also solves an open problem of deriving the oscillation theorem for problems with periodic boundary conditions. Furthermore, the present work demonstrates the utility and power of the analysis on time scales in obtaining new results especially in the classical continuous and discrete time theories.     

Some remarks concerning weakly disconjugate linear Hamiltonian systems

We study properties of weakly disconjugate linear Hamiltonian systems. We characterize this concept in terms of a nonoscillation condition. We then show how to approximate a weakly disconjugate system by one with an exponential dichotomy.
