Estimates of the solutions of two-point boundary-value problems for systems of first-order integrodifferential equations and the method of lines

One proves theorems on the estimates of the solutions of the systems of first-order integrodifferential equations with the boundary conditions On the basis of these theorems, one suggests a method for estimating the norms of integrodifferential equations by the method of the lines for the solutions of the periodic boundary-value problems for second-order integrodifferential equations of parabolic type. On the basis of the established theorem, on the solvability and on the estimate of the solution of the nonlinear equation $$Tx + F\left( x \right) = 0$$ in a Banach space X, where T is a linear unbounded operator, one investigates the convergence of the method of lines for solving the periodic boundary-value problem for a second-order nonlinear integrodifferential equation of parabolic type.     

Two-Parameter Asymptotics in a Bisingular Cauchy Problem for a Parabolic Equation

The Cauchy problem for a quasilinear parabolic equation with a small parameter ε at the highest derivative is considered. The initial function, which has the form of a smoothed step, depends on a “stretched” variable x/ρ, where ρ is another small parameter. This problem statement is of interest for applications as a model of propagation of nonlinear waves in physical systems in the presence of small dissipation. In the case corresponding to a compression wave, asymptotic solutions of the problem are constructed in the parameters ε and ρ independently tending to zero. It is assumed that ε/ρ → 0. Far from the line of discontinuity of the limit solution, asymptotic solutions are constructed in the form of series in powers of ε and ρ. In a small domain of linear approximation, an asymptotic solution is constructed in the form of a series in powers of the ratio ρ/ε. The coefficients of the inner expansion are determined from a recursive chain of initial value problems. The asymptotics of these coefficients at infinity is studied. The time of reconstruction of the scale of the internal space variable is determined.     

Remarks on the Shape of Least-energy Solutions to a Semilinear Dirichlet Problem

Structure of least-energy solutions to singularly perturbed semilinear Dirichlet problem ε²Δu - u^α + g(u) = 0 in Ω,u = 0 on ∂Ω, Ω ⊂ ⋅R^N a bounded smooth domain, is precisely studied as ε → 0^+, for 0 < α < 1 and a superlinear, subcritical nonlinearity g(u). It is shown that there are many least-energy solutions for the problem and they are spike-layer solutions. Moreover, the measure of each spike-layer is estimated as ε → 0^+ .

On a semilinear volterra integrodifferential equation

The Volterra integrodifferential equation $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {u_t (t,x) + \smallint '_0 a(t - s)( - \Delta u(s,x) + f(x,u(s,x)))ds = h(t,x),,} \\ {t > 0,x \in \Omega \subset R^N ,} \\ \end{array} $$ together with boundary and initial conditions is considered. The existence of global solutions (in time) is established under weak assumptions onf. An application in heat flow is also indicated.

Convergence of global attractors of a 2D non-Newtonian system to the global attractor of the 2D Navier-Stokes system

This paper discusses the relation between the long-time dynamics of solutions of the two-dimensional(2D) incompressible non-Newtonian fluid system and the 2D Navier-Stokes system.We first show that the solutions of the non-Newtonian fluid system converge to the solutions of the Navier-Stokes system in the energy norm.Then we establish that the global attractors {AHε} 0<ε≤1 of the non-Newtonian fluid system converge to the global attractor AH0 of the Navier-Stokes system as → 0.We also construct the minimal limit AHmin of the global attractors {AHε}0<ε≤1 as ε→ 0 and prove that AHmin is a strictly invariant and connected set.     

Preservation of stability and asymptotic behaviour of perturbed integrodifferential equations in a Banach space

In this paper stability and asymptotic behaviour of solutions of the integrodifferential system in a Banach space is related to that of the integrodifferential system in a Banach space. The results obtained constitute a generalization of similar results for ordinary differential equations in a Banach space, which motivate the approach and proofs.     

On the Solvability and Optimal Controls of Fractional Integrodifferential Evolution Systems with Infinite Delay

In this paper, we study the solvability and optimal controls of a class of fractional integrodifferential evolution systems with infinite delay in Banach spaces. Firstly, a more appropriate concept for mild solutions is introduced. Secondly, existence and continuous dependence of mild solutions are investigated by utilizing the techniques of a priori estimation and extension of step by steps. Finally, existence of optimal controls for system governed by fractional integrodifferential evolution systems with infinite delay is proved.     

Quadratic matrix polynomials with a parameter

In this paper we examine matrix polynomials of the form L(λ) = Aλ² + εBλ + C in which ε is a parameter and A, B, C are positive definite. This arises in a natural way in the study of damped vibrating systems. The main results are concerned with the generic case in which det L(λ) has at least 2n − 1 distinct zeros for all ε ϵ [0, ∞). The values of ε at which there is a multiple zero of det L(λ) are of major interest in this analysis. The dependence of first degree factors of L(λ) on ε is also discussed.     

Integrodifferential equations with applications to a plate equation with memory

In this paper we study local existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence of an abstract integrodifferential equation. We also present a result on unique continuation and a blow‐up alternative for mild solutions of the integrodifferential equation. Finally, we apply our results to an interesting strongly damped plate equation with memory.     

Stability of global and exponential attractors for a three‐dimensional conserved phase‐field system with memory

We consider a conserved phase‐field system on a tri‐dimensional bounded domain. The heat conduction is characterized by memory effects depending on the past history of the (relative) temperature ?, which is represented through a convolution integral whose relaxation kernel k is a summable and decreasing function. Therefore, the system consists of a linear integrodifferential equation for ?, which is coupled with a viscous Cahn–Hilliard type equation governing the order parameter χ. The latter equation contains a nonmonotone nonlinearity ? and the viscosity effects are taken into account by a term ?αΔ?_tχ, for some α?0. Rescaling the kernel k with a relaxation time ε>0, we formulate a Cauchy–Neumann problem depending on ε and α. Assuming a suitable decay of k, we prove the existence of a family of exponential attractors {?_α,ε} for our problem, whose basin of attraction can be extended to the whole phase–space in the viscous case (i.e. when α>0). Moreover, we prove that the symmetric Hausdorff distance of ?_α,ε from a proper lifting of ?_α,0 tends to 0 in an explicitly controlled way, for any fixed α?0. In addition, the upper semicontinuity of the family of global attractors {??_α,ε} as ε→0 is achieved for any fixed α>0. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Global Attractivity and ‘Level-Crossings’ in a Periodic Logistic Integrodifferential Equation

Sufficient conditions are obtained for the existence of a globally attracting positive periodic solution of the logistic integrodifferential equation where a, b are continuous positive periodic functions and K is a nonnegative integrable function defined on {0, ∞). We also derive sufficient conditions for all positive solutions to have “level crossings” about the unique positive periodic solution.     

Analysis of a model for transport of charged particles in a random magnetic field

A model for the transport of charged particles in a random magnetic field is a Volterra integrodifferential equation with a long-range kernel. The integrodifferential equation is solved numerically with the method of Bellman, Kalaba, and Lockett (“Numerical Inversion of the Laplace Transform,” Elsevier, New York, 1966). The results are shown to be in excellent agreement with analytical asymptotic results.     

Well‐posedness and asymptotic analysis for a Penrose–Fife type phase field system

In this paper, an asymptotic analysis of the (non‐conserved) Penrose–Fife phase field system for two vanishing time relaxation parameters ε and δ is developed, in analogy with the similar analyses for the phase field model proposed by G. Caginalp (Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 1986; 92 :205–245), which were carried out by Rossi and Stoth (Adv. Math. Sci. Appl. 2003; 13 :249–271; Quart. Appl. Math. 1995; 53 :695–700). Although formally the singular limits for ε ↓ 0 and for ε and δ ↓ 0 are, respectively, the viscous Cahn–Hilliard equation and the Cahn–Hilliard equation, it turns out that the Penrose–Fife system is indeed a bad approximation for these equations. Therefore, we consider an alternative approximating phase field system, which could be viewed as a generalization of the classical Penrose–Fife phase field system, featuring a double non‐linearity given by two maximal monotone graphs. A well‐posedness result is proved for such a system, and it is shown that the solutions converge to the unique solution of the viscous Cahn–Hilliard equation as ε ↓ 0, and of the Cahn–Hilliard equation as ε ↓ 0 and δ ↓ 0.

Properties of finite-difference schemes for singular integrodifferential equations of index 1

Systems of integrodifferential equations with a singular matrix multiplying the highest derivative of the unknown vector function are considered. An existence theorem is formulated, and a numerical solution method is proposed. The solutions to singular systems of integrodifferential equations are unstable with respect to small perturbations in the initial data. The influence of initial perturbations on the behavior of numerical processes is analyzed. It is shown that the finite-difference schemes proposed for the systems under study are self-regularizing.     

Singular Perturbations of Elliptic Problems on Domains with Small Holes

Singular perturbation techniques are used to study the solutions of nonlinear second order elliptic boundary value problems defined on arbitrary plane domains from which a finite number of small holes of radius ρ_i(ε) have been removed, in the limit ε → 0. Asymptotic outer and inner expansions are constructed to describe the behavior of solutions at simple bifurcation and limit points. Since bifurcation usually occurs a eigenvalues of a linearized problem, we study in detail the dependence of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions on ε, for ε → 0. These results are applied to the vibration of a rectangular membrane with one or two circular holes. The asymptotic analysis predicts a remarkably large sensitivity of eigenvalues and limit points to the ε-domain perturbation considered in this paper.     

Neutral Stochastic Integrodifferential Equations Driven by a Fractional Brownian Motion with Impulsive Effects and Time-varying Delays

This paper deals with the existence,uniqueness and asymptotic behaviors of mild solutions to neutral stochastic delay functional integrodifferential equations with impulsive effects, perturbed by a fractional Brownian motion B ^H , with Hurst parameter \({H \in (\frac{1}{2},1)}\). We use the theory of resolvent operators developed in Grimmer (Trans Am Math Soc 273(1982):333–349, 2009) to show the existence of mild solutions. An example is provided to illustrate the results of this work.
