Asymptotic model for free surface flow of an electrically conducting fluid in a high-frequency magnetic field

We study the behaviour of a layer of an electrically conducting inviscid incompressible fluid in a high-frequency alternating magnetic field. We derive nonlinear asymptotic equations governing the evolution of the fluid layer in the high-frequency limit. As a test for the model, we consider the linearised stability problem for an infinite planar free surface of a layer of finite depth.     

Asymptotic stability of traveling waves in a discrete convolution model for phase transitions

In a recent paper [P. Bates, A. Chmaj, A discrete convolution model for phase transition, Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 150 (1999) 281-305], a discrete convolution model for Ising-like phase transition has been derived, and the existence, uniqueness of traveling waves and stability of stationary solution have been studied. This nonlocal model describes l₂-gradient flow for a Helmholts free energy functional with general range interaction. In this paper, by using the comparison principle and the squeezing technique, we prove that the traveling wavefronts with nonzero speed is globally asymptotic stable with phase shift.     

Asymptotic and total stability for generalized dynamical systems

The existence of solutions to a class of nonlinear problems depending on a parameter is proved using the Gaierkin method The principal difficulty is that when the parameter crosses a critical value the bound edness of the approximate solutions is no longer obvious. Applications are indicated.     

Analysis of a Free Boundary Problem Modeling Tumor Growth

In this paper, we study a free boundary problem arising from the modeling of tumor growth. The problem comprises two unknown functions： R = R（t）, the radius of the tumor, and u = u（r, t）, the concentration of nutrient in the tumor. The function u satisfies a nonlinear reaction diffusion equation in the region 0 〈 r 〈 R（t）, t 〉 0, and the function R satisfies a nonlinear integrodifferential equation containing u. Under some general conditions, we establish global existence of transient solutions, unique existence of a stationary solution, and convergence of transient solutions toward the stationary solution as t →∞.     

Asymptotic stability of a mechanical robotics model with damping and delay

In this paper we study the asymptotic stability of a mechanical robotics model with damping and delay. This model yields a certain linear third order delay differential equation. In proving our results we make use of Pontryagin's theory for quasi-polynomials.     

Asymptotic behavior of an unstirred chemostat model with internal inhibitor

This paper deals with a chemostat model with an internal inhibitor. First, the elementary stability and asymptotic behavior of solutions of the system are determined. Second, the effects of the inhibitor are considered. It turns out that the parameter μ, which measures the effect of the inhibitor, plays a very important role in deciding the stability and longtime behavior of solutions of the system. The results show that if μ is sufficiently large, this model has no coexistence solution and one of the semitrivial equilibria is a global attractor when the maximal growth rate a of the species u lies in certain range; but when a belongs to another range, all positive solutions of this model are governed by a limit problem, and two semitrivial equilibria are bistable. The main tools used here include monotone system theory, degree theory, bifurcation theory and perturbation technique.

Asymptotic behavior for a cellular replication and maturation model

We consider a nonlocal first order partial differential equation with time delay that models simultaneous cell replication and maturation processes. We establish a comparison principle and construct monotone sequences to show the existence and uniqueness of the solution to the equation. We then analyze the asymptotic behavior of the solution via upper–lower solution technique.     

Asymptotic behavior of positive solutions of a singular nonlinear Dirichlet problem

Let Ω be a C1,1-bounded domain in Rn for n?2. In this paper, we are concerned with the asymptotic behavior of the unique positive classical solution to the singular boundary-value problem Δu+a(x)u−σ=0 in Ω, u|∂Ω=0, where σ?0, a is a nonnegative function in , 0<α<1 and there exists c>0 such that . Here λ?2, μk∈R, ω is a positive constant and δ(x)=dist(x,∂Ω).     

Asymptotic periodicity of a food-limited diffusive population model with time-delay

In this paper, a general reaction-diffusion food-limited population model with time-delay is proposed. Accordingly, the existence and uniqueness of the periodic solutions for the boundary value problem and the asymptotic periodicity of the initial-boundary value problem are considered. Finally, the effect of the time-delay on the asymptotic behavior of the solutions is given.     

Asymptotic behavior of solutions of a free boundary problem modeling multi-layer tumor growth in presence of inhibitor

In this paper we study well-posedness and asymptotic behavior of solution of a free boundary problem modeling the growth of multi-layer tumors under the action of an external inhibitor. We first prove that this problem is locally well-posed in little Hölder spaces. Next we investigate asymptotic behavior of the solution. By computing the spectrum of the linearized problem and using the linearized stability theorem, we give the rigorous analysis of stability and instability of all stationary flat solutions under the non-flat perturbations. The method used in proving these results is first to reduce the free boundary problem to a differential equation in a Banach space, and next use the abstract well-posedness and geometric theory for parabolic differential equations in Banach spaces to make the analysis.     

Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions to a Class of Semilinear Parabolic Equations with Boundary Degeneracy

This paper concerns the asymptotic behavior of solutions to one-dimensional semilinear parabolic equations with boundary degeneracy both in bounded and unbounded intervals. For the problem in a bounded interval, it is shown that there exist both nontrivial global solutions for small initial data and blowing-up solutions for large one if the degeneracy is not strong. Whereas in the case that the degeneracy is strong enough, the nontrivial solution must blow up in a finite time. For the problem in an unbounded interval, blowing-up theorems of Fujita type are established. It is shown that the critical Fujita exponent depends on the degeneracy of the equation and the asymptotic behavior of the diffusion coefficient at infinity, and it may be equal to one or infinity. Furthermore, the critical case is proved to belong to the blowing-up case.     

Asymptotic behavior and stability of second order neutral delay differential equations

We study the asymptotic behavior of a class of second order neutral delay differential equations by both a spectral projection method and an ordinary differential equation method approach. We discuss the relation of these two methods and illustrate some features using examples. Furthermore, a fixed point method is introduced as a third approach to study the asymptotic behavior. We conclude the paper with an application to a mechanical model of turning processes.
