On the relationship between uniqueness and stability in sum-aggregative,symmetric and general differentiable games

This article explores the relationship between uniqueness and stability in differentiable regular games, with a major focus on the important classes of sum-aggregative, two-player and symmetric games. We consider three types of popular dynamics, continuous-time gradient dynamics as well as continuous- and discrete-time best-reply dynamics, and include aggregate-taking behavior as a non-strategic behavioral variant. We show that while in general games stability conditions are only sufficient for uniqueness, they are likely to be necessary as well in models with sum-aggregative or symmetric payoff functions. In particular, a unique equilibrium always verifies the stability conditions of all dynamics if strategies are equilibrium complements, and this also holds for both continuous-time dynamics if strategies are equilibrium substitutes with bounded slopes. These findings extend to the case of aggregate-taking equilibria. We further analyze the stability relations between the various dynamics, and demonstrate that the restrictive nature of the discrete dynamics originates from simultaneity of adjustments. Asynchronous decisions or heterogeneous forward thinking may stabilize the adjustment process.

On a generalized proximal point method for solving equilibrium problems in Banach spaces

We introduce a regularized equilibrium problem in Banach spaces, involving generalized Bregman functions. For this regularized problem, we establish the existence and uniqueness of solutions. These regularizations yield a proximal-like method for solving equilibrium problems in Banach spaces. We prove that the proximal sequence is an asymptotically solving sequence when the dual space is uniformly convex. Moreover, we prove that all weak accumulation points are solutions if the equilibrium function is lower semicontinuous in its first variable. We prove, under additional assumptions, that the proximal sequence converges weakly to a solution.     

Global dynamics of a predator-prey model

This paper deals with the dynamics of a predator-prey model with Hassell-Varley-Holling functional response. First, we show that the predator coexists with prey if and only if predator's growth ability is greater than its death rate. Second, using a blow-up technique, we prove that the origin equilibrium point is repelling and extinction of both predator and prey populations is impossible. Third, the local and global stability of the positive steady state coincide when the predator interference is large. Finally, for a typical biological case, we show instability of the positive equilibrium implies global stability of the limit cycle. Numerical simulations are carried out for a hypothetical set of parameter values to substantiate our analytical findings.     

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.

On Classical Solutions of the Nordström-Vlasov System

Abstract

The Nordström-Vlasov system describes the dynamics of a self-gravitating ensemble of collisionless particles in the framework of the Nordström scalar theory of gravitation. We prove existence and uniqueness of classical solutions of the Cauchy problem in three dimensions and establish a condition which guarantees that the solution is global in time. Moreover, we show that if one changes the sign of the source term in the field equation, which heuristically corresponds to the case of a repulsive gravitational force, then solutions blow up in finite time for a large class of initial data. Finally, we prove global existence of classical solutions for the one dimensional version of the system with the correct sign in the field equation.     

A conjecture on the stability of the periodic solutions of Ricker’s equation with periodic parameters

In this work, we propose a conjecture about the stability of the periodic solutions of the Ricker equation with periodic parameters, which goes beyond the existing theory, and for the special case of period-two parameters we analytically show the conjecture is true. For this case we show that the stability region in parameter space obtained from the conjecture is larger than a previously proposed stability region. The period-three case is investigated numerically and similar extensions are realized. This suggests that the current theory cited in this paper, while giving sufficient conditions for stability is far from optimal.     

Partial differential equations with delayed random perturbations: existence uniqueness and stability of solutions

We consider a stochastic non–linear Partial Differential Equation with delay which may be regarded as a perturbed equation. First, we prove the existence and the uniqueness of solutions. Next, we obtain some stability results in order to prove the following: if the unperturbed equation is exponentially stable and the stochastic perturbation is small enough then, the perturbed equations remains exponentially stable. We impose standard assumptions on the differential operators and we use strong and mild solutions     

Uniqueness of Limit Cycles in a Predator-Prey Model with Sigmoid Functional Response

In this paper, we prove that a predator-prey model with sigmoid functional response and logistic growth for the prey has a unique stable limit cycle, if the equilibrium point is locally unstable. This extends the results of the literature where it was proved that the equilibrium point is globally asymptotically stable, if it is locally stable. For the proof, we use a combination of three versions of Zhang Zhifen''s uniqueness theorem for limit cycles in Li$\acute{\rm e}$nard systems to cover all possible limit cycle configurations. This technique can be applied to a wide range of differential equations where at most one limit cycle occurs.     

Linearizing non-linear inverse problems and an application to inverse backscattering

We propose an abstract approach to prove local uniqueness and conditional Hölder stability to non-linear inverse problems by linearization. The main condition is that, in addition to the injectivity of the linearization A, we need a stability estimate for A as well. That condition is satisfied in particular, if A^∗A is an elliptic pseudo-differential operator. We apply this scheme to show uniqueness and Hölder stability for the inverse backscattering problem for the acoustic equation near a constant sound speed.     

Inverse problem for an equation of parabolic-hyperbolic type with a nonlocal boundary condition

For an equation of the parabolic-hyperbolic type, we consider an inverse problem with a nonlocal condition relating solution derivatives that belong to different types of the equation in question. We justify a uniqueness criterion and prove the existence of a solution of the problem by the spectral analysis method. We prove the stability of the solution with respect to the nonlocal boundary condition.     

The Cahn–Hilliard–Hele–Shaw system with singular potential

The Cahn–Hilliard–Hele–Shaw system is a fundamental diffuse-interface model for an incompressible binary fluid confined in a Hele–Shaw cell. It consists of a convective Cahn–Hilliard equation in which the velocity u is subject to a Korteweg force through Darcy's equation. In this paper, we aim to investigate the system with a physically relevant potential (i.e., of logarithmic type). This choice ensures that the (relative) concentration difference φ takes values within the admissible range. To the best of our knowledge, essentially all the available contributions in the literature are concerned with a regular approximation of the singular potential. Here we first prove the existence of a global weak solution with finite energy that satisfies an energy dissipative property. Then, in dimension two, we further obtain the uniqueness and regularity of global weak solutions. In particular, we show that any two-dimensional weak solution satisfies the so-called strict separation property, namely, if φ is not a pure state at some initial time, then it stays instantaneously away from the pure states. When the spatial dimension is three, we prove the existence of a unique global strong solution, provided that the initial datum is regular enough and sufficiently close to any local minimizer of the free energy. This also yields the local Lyapunov stability of the local minimizer itself. Finally, we prove that under suitable assumptions any global solution converges to a single equilibrium as time goes to infinity.     

Extinction and permanence of a two-prey two-predator system with impulsive on the predator

In this paper, the dynamic behaviors of a two-prey two-predator system with impulsive effect on the predator of fixed moment are investigated. By applying the Floquet theory of liner periodic impulsive equation, we show that there exists a globally asymptotically stable two-prey eradication periodic solution when the impulsive period is less than some critical value. Further, we prove that the system is permanent if the impulsive period is large than some critical value, and meanwhile the conditions for the extinction of one of the two prey and permanence of the remaining three species are given. Finally, numerical simulation shows that there exists a stable positive periodic solution with a maximum value no larger than a given level. Thus, we can use the stability of the positive periodic solution and its period to control insect pests at acceptably low levels.     

Blowup,Global Fast and Slow Solutions for a Semilinear Combustible System

In this paper, we investigate a semilinear combustible system $u_t-du_{xx}=v^p, v_t-dv_{xx}=u^q$ with double fronts free boundary, where p ≥ 1, q ≥ 1. For such a problem, we use the contraction mapping theorem to prove the local existence and uniqueness of the solution. Also we study the blowup and global existence property of the solution. Our results show that when pq › 1 blowup occurs if the initial datum is large enough and the solution is global and slow, whose decay rate is at most polynomial if the initial value is suitably large, while when p › 1, q › 1 there is a global and fast solution, which decays uniformly at an exponential rate if the initial datum is small.     

Regularization by Noise in One-Dimensional Continuity Equation

A linear stochastic continuity equation with non-regular coefficients is considered. We prove existence and uniqueness of strong solution, in the probabilistic sense, to the Cauchy problem when the vector field has low regularity, in which the classical DiPerna-Lions-Ambrosio theory of uniqueness of distributional solutions does not apply. We solve partially the open problem that is the case when the vector-field has random dependence. In addition, we prove a stability result for the solutions.

     

Some linear fractional stochastic equations

Using the multiple stochastic integrals, we prove an existence and uniqueness result for a linear stochastic equation driven by the fractional Brownian motion with any Hurst parameter. We study both the one- and two-parameter cases. When the drift is zero, we show that in the one-parameter case the solution is an exponential—thus positive—function while in the two-parameter setting the solution is negative on a non-negligible set.     

Dirichlet problem for the generalized Laplace equation with the Caputo derivative

For a partial differential equation with the Caputo fractional derivative with respect to one of two independent variables, we solve the Dirichlet problem in a rectangular domain. The considered equation becomes the Laplace equation if the order of the fractional derivative is equal to 2. By using a method based on the completeness of the system of eigenfunctions of the Sturm-Liouville problem, we prove the uniqueness of the solution.     

On a problem with three variants of shift conditions for mixed type equation

For mixed type equation we study a problem where shift conditions are given in inner characteristics, on degeneration line, and on the boundary of elliptic domain. With the help of the maximum principle we prove the uniqueness of a solution to the problem, and with the help of the method of integral equations we prove the existence of a solution to the problem.
