Existence of periodic solutions of nonlinear systems with nonlinear boundary conditions

In this paper we consider the periodic solutions of nonlinear parabolic systems with nonlinear boundary conditions. By constructing the Poincare operator, we obtain the existence of -periodic weak solutions under some reasonable assumptions.     

Nontrivial solutions for a nonlinear discrete elliptic equation with periodic boundary conditions

In this paper, existence of nontrivial solutions for a nonlinear discrete elliptic equation with periodic boundary conditions is considered by using the monotone operator principle, Mountain pass lemma, Linking theorem and some results in Morse theory. The obtained results are also valid and new for the corresponding difference periodic boundary value problem.

ABSTRACT

For solutions on unbounded domains of boundary value problems for a class of quasilinear elliptic equations which are not uniformly elliptic, we prove that the solutions have the same bounds as those of the boundary data.     

Existence and multiplicity results for periodic solutions of nonlinear difference equations

We use Brouwer degree to prove existence and multiplicity results for the periodic solutions of some nonlinear second-order and first-order difference equations. We obtain, in particular upper and lower solutions theorems, Ambrosetti–Prodi type results and sharp existence conditions for nonlinearities which are bounded from below or above.     

An inverse coefficient problem for a parabolic equation in the case of nonlocal boundary and overdetermination conditions

In this paper, the inverse problem of finding the time‐dependent coefficient of heat capacity together with the solution of heat equation with nonlocal boundary and overdetermination conditions is considered. The existence, uniqueness and continuous dependence upon the data are studied. Some considerations on the numerical solution for this inverse problem are presented with the examples.

Stable periodic traveling waves for a predator-prey model with non-constant death rate and delay

In this paper we will consider a predator-prey model with a non-constant death rate and distributed delay, described by a partial integro-differential system. The main goal of this work is to prove that the partial integro-differential system has periodic orbitally asymptotically stable solutions in the form of periodic traveling waves; i.e. N(x, t) = N(σt − μ · x), P(x, t) = P(σt − μ · x), where σ > 0 is the angular frequency and μ is the vector number of the plane wave, which propagates in the direction of the vector μ with speed c = σ/∥μ∥; and N(x, t) and P(x, t) are the spatial population densities of the prey and the predator species, respectively. In order to achieve our goal we will use singular perturbation’s techniques.     

An inverse coefficient problem for a quasilinear parabolic equation with periodic boundary and integral overdetermination condition

In this paper, the inverse problem of finding the time‐dependent coefficient of heat capacity together with the solution periodic boundary and integral overdetermination conditions is considered. Under some natural regularity and consistency conditions on the input data, the existence, uniqueness, and continuous dependence upon the data of the solution are shown. Some considerations on the numerical solution for this inverse problem are presented with an example. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Existence and stability of periodic solutions for competing species diffusion systems with dirichlet boundary conditions

The article considers positive t-periodic solutions for a periodic system of competing-species diffusion-reaction equations with zero or positive Dirichlet boundary conditions. The asymptotic orbital stability of the periodic solution is also investigated. Some results are applicable to cases when interspecies interactions are not small     

Controllability results for the two-dimensional heat equation with mixed boundary conditions using Carleman inequalities: a linear and a semilinear case

In this paper, we prove controllability results for a two-dimensional semilinear heat equation with mixed boundary conditions. It is well-known that mixed boundary conditions can present a singular behaviour of the solution. First, we will prove global Carleman estimates then we will use these inequalities to obtain controllability results.     

Positive solutions of a nonlinear impulsive equation with periodic boundary conditions

In this paper, we investigate nonlinear second order differential equations subject to linear impulse conditions and periodic boundary conditions. Sign properties of an associated Green’s function are exploited to get existence results for positive solutions of the nonlinear boundary value problem with impulse. Upper and lower bounds for positive solutions are also given. The results obtained yield periodic positive solutions of the corresponding periodic impulsive nonlinear differential equation on the whole real axis.     

Inverse coefficient problem for a second‐order elliptic equation with nonlocal boundary conditions

In this research article, the inverse problem of finding a time‐dependent coefficient in a second‐order elliptic equation is investigated. The existence and the uniqueness of the classical solution of the problem under consideration are established. Numerical tests using the finite‐difference scheme combined with an iteration method are presented, and the sensitivity of this scheme with respect to noisy overdetermination data is illustrated.
