ON SOME CONSTANTS OF QUASICONFORMAL DEFORMATION AND ZYGMUND CLASS

Existence results for nonlinear fractional differential equations in <Emphasis Type="Italic">C</Emphasis>[0, <Emphasis Type="Italic">T</Emphasis>)

In this paper, we investigate the existence results for fractional differential equations of the form

$$\begin{aligned} {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} D_{c}^{q}x(t)=f(t,x(t)) \quad t\in [0, T)\left( 0<T\le \infty \right) , \quad q \in (1,2),\\ x(0)=a_{0},\quad x^{'}(0)=a_{1}, \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}$$

(0.1)

and

$$\begin{aligned} {\left\{ \begin{array}{ll} D_{c}^{q}x(t)=f(t,x(t)) \quad t\in [0, T), \quad q \in (0,1),\\ x(0)=a_{0}, \end{array}\right. } \end{aligned}$$

(0.2)

where \(D_{c}^{q}\) is the Caputo fractional derivative. We prove the above equations have solutions in C[0, T). Particularly, we present the existence and uniqueness results for the above equations on \([0,+\infty )\).

The existence of solutions for boundary value problems of two types fractional perturbation differential equations

In this paper, we study the existence of solutions for the boundary value problems of fractional perturbation differential equations

$$\begin{aligned} D^{\alpha }\left( \frac{x(t)}{f(t,x(t))}\right) =g(t,x(t)),\;\;a.e.\;t\in J=[0,1], \end{aligned}$$

or

$$\begin{aligned} D^{\alpha }\left( x(t)-f(t,x(t))\right) =g(t,x(t)),\;\;a.e.\;t\in J, \end{aligned}$$

subject to

$$\begin{aligned} x(0)=y(x),\;\;x(1)=m, \end{aligned}$$

where \(1<\alpha <2,\,D^{\alpha }\) is the standard Caputo fractional derivatives. Using some fixed point theorems, we prove the existence of solutions to the two types. For each type we give an example to illustrate our results.

A note on the norm-continuity for evolution families arising from non-autonomous forms

We consider evolution equations of the form $$\begin{aligned} \dot{u}(t)+{\mathcal {A}}(t)u(t)=0,\ \ t\in [0,T],\ \ u(0)=u_0, \end{aligned}$$where $${\mathcal {A}}(t),\ t\in [0,T],$$ are associated with a non-autonomous sesquilinear form $${\mathfrak {a}}(t,\cdot ,\cdot )$$ on a Hilbert space H with constant domain $$V\subset H.$$ In this note we continue the study of fundamental operator theoretical properties of the solutions. We give a sufficient condition for norm-continuity of evolution families on each spaces V, H and on the dual space $$V'$$ of V. The abstract results are applied to a class of equations governed by time dependent Robin boundary conditions on exterior domains and by Schrödinger operator with time dependent potentials.     

Capacity solution for a perturbed nonlinear coupled system

We shall give the existence of a capacity solution to a nonlinear elliptic coupled system, whose unknowns are the temperature inside a semiconductor material, u, and the electric potential, $$\varphi $$, the model problem we refer to is $$\begin{aligned} \left\{ \begin{array}{l} \Delta _p u+g(x,u)= \rho (u)|\nabla \varphi |^2 \quad \mathrm{in} \quad \Omega ,\\ {{\,\mathrm{div}\,}}(\rho (u)\nabla \varphi ) =0 \quad \mathrm{in} \quad \Omega ,\\ \varphi =\varphi _0 \quad \text{ on } \quad {\partial \Omega },\\ u=0 \quad \mathrm{on} \quad {\partial \Omega }, \end{array} \right. \end{aligned}$$where $$\Omega \subset \mathbb {R}^N$$, $$N\ge 2$$ and $$\Delta _p u=-{\text {div}}\left( |\nabla u|^{p-2} \nabla u\right) $$ is the so-called p-Laplacian operator, and g a nonlinearity which satisfies the sign condition but without any restriction on its growth. This problem may be regarded as a generalization of the so-called thermistor problem, where we consider the case of the elliptic equation is non-uniformly elliptic.     

On the Asymptotic Behavior of Nonoscillatory Solutions of Certain Fractional Differential Equations

We present the conditions under which every nonoscillator solution x(t) of the forced fractional differential equation

$$\begin{aligned} ^{\mathrm{C}}D_{\mathrm{c}}^{\alpha } y ( t ) = e ( t ) +f ( {t, x ( t )} ), c > 1,\alpha \in ( {0,1} ), \quad \mathrm{{and}} \,\, \delta \ge 1, \end{aligned}$$

where \(y(t)= ( {a(t) ( {{x}'(t)} )^{\delta }})^{\prime },c_0 =\frac{y(c)}{\Gamma (1)}= y(c)\), is a real constant which satisfies

$$\begin{aligned} |x(t)|=O\left( {t^{1/\delta }e^{t}\int _{\mathrm{c}}^{t} {a^{-1/\delta }} (s)\mathrm{d}s} \right) , \quad t \rightarrow \infty \end{aligned}$$

It is shown that the technique can be applied to some related fractional differential equations. Examples are inserted to illustrate the relevance of the obtained results.

Positive solutions to singular semipositone boundary value problems of second order coupled differential systems

We establish the existence of positive solutions for the second order singular semipositone coupled Dirichlet systems $$\left\{ \begin{aligned} &x{''} +f_1 \bigl(t,y(t)\bigr)+e_1(t)=0, \\ &y{''} +f_2\bigl(t,x(t) \bigr)+e_2(t)=0, \\ &x(0)=x(1)=0,\qquad y(0)=y(1)=0. \end{aligned} \right. $$ The proof relies on Schauder’s fixed point theorem.     

Perpetual Integrals for Lévy Processes

Given a Lévy process \(\xi \), we find necessary and sufficient conditions for almost sure finiteness of the perpetual integral \(\int _0^\infty f(\xi _s)\hbox {d}s\), where \(f\) is a positive locally integrable function. If \(\mu =\mathbb {E}[\xi _1]\in (0,\infty )\) and \(\xi \) has local times we prove the 0–1 law

$$\begin{aligned} \mathbb {P}\Big (\int _0^\infty f(\xi _s)\,\hbox {d}s<\infty \Big )\in \{0,1\} \end{aligned}$$

with the exact characterization

$$\begin{aligned} \mathbb {P}\Big (\int _0^\infty f(\xi _s)\,\hbox {d}s<\infty \Big )=0\qquad \Longleftrightarrow \qquad \int ^\infty f(x)\,\hbox {d}x=\infty . \end{aligned}$$

The proof uses spatially stationary Lévy processes, local time calculations, Jeulin’s lemma and the Hewitt–Savage 0–1 law.

The stability of additive $(\alpha,\beta)$-functional equations

In this paper, we investigate the following $(\alpha,\beta)$-functional equations $$ 2f(x)+2f(z)=f(x-y)+\alpha^{-1}f(\alpha (x+z))+\beta^{-1}f(\beta(y+z)),~~~~~~~~~(0.1) $$ $$ 2f(x)+2f(y)=f(x+y)+\alpha^{-1}f(\alpha(x+z)) +\beta^{-1}f(\beta(y-z)),~~~~~~~~~~~(0.2) $$ where $\alpha,\beta$ are fixed nonzero real numbers with $\alpha^{-1}+\beta^{-1}\neq 3$. Using the fixed point method and the direct method, we prove the Hyers-Ulam stability of the $(\alpha,\beta)$-functional equations $(0.1)$ and $(0.2)$ in non-Archimedean Banach spaces.
