Generalized Cameron–Storvick theorem and its applications

The goal of this paper is to establish a more generalized Cameron–Storvick theorem with respect to the conditional generalized integral transform (CGIT) and the generalized first variation. Many results and formulas for Cameron–Storvick theorems established in previous papers are included. We first introduce a CGIT and a generalized first variation of functionals by using the concept of the Gaussian process and bounded linear operators. We then give the existence of them for the exponential functionals on function space. We next establish a generalized Cameron–Storvick theorem. Finally, we describe some applications.     

A recurrence formula with respect to the Cameron–Storvick type theorem of the 𝒯-transform

ABSTRACT

In this paper, we define a transform which has the kernel in its definition and a concept of derivative for functionals on Wiener space. We then establish some results and formulas for the transforms of functionals on Wiener space. We also establish the Cameron–Storvick type theorem for the transform. Finally, we obtain the recurrence formula for the transforms to evaluate formulas involving the multi-dimensional derivative.     

New expressions of the modified generalized integral transform via the translation theorem with applications

In this paper, we obtain very natural basic formulas for the modified generalized integral transform (MGIT) on function space. In order to do this, we first introduce an MGIT of functionals on function space. We next establish some basic formulas with respect to the MGIT and the first variation. Finally, we obtain a new version of the Cameron–Storvick theorem via the translation theorem. Some applications are demonstrated as examples which are used in classification of nanoparticles.     

A discontinuous functional differential equation

In this paper we give a sufficient condition for the existence of maximal and minimal solutions to a discontinuous functional differential equation x′(t)=f(t,x(t),x(·)), x(0)=0. We apply the result to establish an existence theorem for the Darboux problem for a partial differential equation.     

Monotonic solutions of a perturbed quadratic fractional integral equation

We present an existence theorem for monotonic solutions of a perturbed quadratic fractional integral equation in C[0,1]. The concept of a measure of noncompactness and a fixed point theorem due to Darbo are the main tools in carrying out our proof. Finally, we give an example for indicating the natural realizations of our abstract result presented in the paper.     

Fourier-Feynman transforms and the first variation

In this paper we complete the following four objectives: 1. We obtain an integration by parts formula for analytic Feynman integrals. 2. We obtain an integration by parts formula for Fourier-Feynman transforms. 3. We find the Fourier-Feynman transform of a functionalF from a Banach algebra after it has been multiplied byn linear factors. 4. We evaluate the analytic Feynman integral of functionals like those described in 3 above. A very fundamental result by Cameron and Storvick [5, Theorem 1], in which they express the analytic Feynman integral of the first variation of a functionalF in terms of the analytic Feynman integral ofF multiplied by a linear factor, plays a key role throughout this paper.     

Evaluation Formulas for a Conditional Feynman Integral Over Wiener Paths in Abstract Wiener Space

In this paper, we introduce a simple formula for conditional Wiener integrals over , the space of abstract Wiener space valued continuous functions. Using this formula, we establish various formulas for a conditional Wiener integral and a conditional Feynman integral of functionals on in certain classes which correspond to the classes of functionals on the classical Wiener space introduced by Cameron and Storvick. We also evaluate the conditional Wiener integral and conditional Feynman integral for functionals of the form which are of interest in Feynman integration theories and quantum mechanics.     

On an integral equation approach for the exterior Robin problem for the Helmholtz equation

A boundary integral equation for the exterior Robin problem for Helmholtz's equation is analyzed in this paper. This integral operator is not compact. A proof based on a suitable regularization of this integral operator and the Fredholm alternative for the regularized compact operator was given by other authors. In this paper, we will give a direct existence and uniqueness proof for the boundary non-compact integral equation in the space settings C^1,λ(S) and C^0,λ(S), where S is a closed bounded smooth surface.     

A proof for the Burton and Miller integral equation approach for the Helmholtz equation

The A. J. Burton and G. F. Miller integral equation formulation for the exterior Neumann problem for the Helmholtz equation [Proc. Roy. Soc. London Ser. A323 (1971), 201–210] is one of the most important integral equation approaches in that area. However, the kind of space settings they are working with is not clear. Evidently, the Fredholm integral equation of the second kind which they deduced is not well defined on the usual C(S) or L²(S), where S is a closed bounded smooth surface. In this paper, appropriate space settings are found and a rigorous existence and uniqueness proof for their integral equation formulation is given.     

On a nonlinear heat equation with functional dependence

We reduce the Cauchy problem for a heat equation with the nonlinear right-hand side which depends on some functionals to an equivalent integral equation. Considering mainly Banach spaces of continuous, bounded and exponentially bounded functions, we give some natural sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to these equations. We give a counterexample which shows that the Lipschitz condition is, in general, insufficient for the Cauchy problem with unbounded data and with functional dependence to guarantee an existence result     

Sequential Fourier-Feynman transform, convolution and first variation

Cameron and Storvick introduced the concept of a sequential Fourier-Feynman transform and established the existence of this transform for functionals in a Banach algebra of bounded functionals on classical Wiener space. In this paper we investigate various relationships between the sequential Fourier-Feynman transform and the convolution product for functionals which need not be bounded or continuous. Also we study the relationships involving this transform and the first variation.

     

A sum operator equation and applications to nonlinear elastic beam equations and Lane-Emden-Fowler equations

This paper is concerned with an operator equation Ax+Bx+Cx=x on ordered Banach spaces, where A is an increasing α-concave operator, B is an increasing sub-homogeneous operator and C is a homogeneous operator. The existence and uniqueness of its positive solutions is obtained by using the properties of cones and a fixed point theorem for increasing general β-concave operators. As applications, we utilize the fixed point theorems obtained in this paper to study the existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for two classes nonlinear problems which include fourth-order two-point boundary value problems for elastic beam equations and elliptic value problems for Lane-Emden-Fowler equations.     

A Cameron-Storvick Theorem for Analytic Feynman Integrals on Product Abstract Wiener Space and Applications

In this paper we derive a Cameron-Storvick theorem for the analytic Feynman integral of functionals on product abstract Wiener space B ². We then apply our result to obtain an evaluation formula for the analytic Feynman integral of unbounded functionals on B ². We also present meaningful examples involving functionals which arise naturally in quantum mechanics.     

Solvability of a nonlinear model Boltzmann equation in the problem of a plane shock wave

We consider a nonlinear system of integral equations describing the structure of a plane shock wave. Based on physical reasoning, we propose an iterative method for constructing an approximate solution of this system. The problem reduces to studying decoupled scalar nonlinear and linear integral equations for the gas temperature, density, and velocity. We formulate a theorem on the existence of a positive bounded solution of a nonlinear equation of the Uryson type. We also prove theorems on the existence and uniqueness of bounded positive solutions for linear integral equations in the space L ₁[?r, r] for all finite r < +∞. For a more general nonlinear integral equation, we prove a theorem on the existence of a positive solution and also find a lower bound and an integral upper bound for the constructed solution.     

Contractive maps on normed linear spaces and their applications to nonlinear matrix equations

In this paper we will give necessary and sufficient conditions under which a map is a contraction on a certain subset of a normed linear space. These conditions are already well known for maps on intervals in R. Using the conditions and Banach’s fixed point theorem we can prove a fixed point theorem for operators on a normed linear space. The fixed point theorem will be applied to the matrix equation X = I_n + A^∗f(X)A, where f is a map on the set of positive definite matrices induced by a real valued map on (0, ∞). This will give conditions on A and f under which the equation has a unique solution in a certain set. We will consider two examples of f in detail. In one example the application of the fixed point theorem is the first step in proving that the equation has a unique positive definite solution under the conditions on A.     

Galerkin method for a third-order differential-operator equation

We study the Galerkin method for a third-order differential-operator equation with self-adjoint leading operator A and subordinate linear operator K(t) in a separable Hilbert space. We prove a theorem on the existence and uniqueness of a strong solution of the original problem. We derive estimates for the accuracy of the approximate solutions constructed by the Galerkin method. An application of the suggested method to the solution of a model problem is described.     

Application of Wiener-Hopf technique to linear nonhomogeneous integral equations for a new representation of Chandrasekhar's H-function in radiative transfer, its existence and uniqueness

In this paper, the linear nonhomogeneous integral equation of H-functions is considered to find a new form of H-function as its solution. The Wiener-Hopf technique is used to express a known function into two functions with different zones of analyticity. The linear nonhomogeneous integral equation is thereafter expressed into two different sets of functions having the different zones of regularity. The modified form of Liouville's theorem is thereafter used, Cauchy's integral formulae are used to determine functional representation over the cut region in a complex plane. The new form of H-function is derived both for conservative and nonconservative cases. The existence of solution of linear nonhomogeneous integral equations and its uniqueness are shown. For numerical calculation of this new H-function, a set of useful formulae are derived both for conservative and nonconservative cases.     

Positive solutions for a high-order semipositone fractional differential equation with integral boundary conditions

In this paper, we consider the existence of positive solutions for a high-order semipositone fractional differential equation with Riemann-Stieltjes integral boundary conditions. By Krasnoselskii-Zabreiko fixed point theorem and some inequalities associated with Green’s function, two new existence theorems are obtained in the case that the nonlinearity f is allowed to grow both superlinearly and sublinearly. Finally, two examples are given to illustrate the main results.     

Inverse problem of determining the kernel in an integro-differential equation of parabolic type

We study the inverse problem of determining the multidimensional kernel of the integral term in a parabolic equation of second order. As additional information, the solution of the direct problem is given on the hyperplane x _n = 0. We prove a local existence and uniqueness theorem for the inverse problem.     

A new analytical method for the linearization of dynamic equation on measure chains

In this paper, by introducing the concept of topological equivalence on measure chain, we investigate the relationship between the linear system xΔ=A(t)x and the nonlinear system xΔ=A(t)x+f(t,x). Some sufficient conditions are obtained to guarantee the existence of a equivalent function H(t,x) sending the (c,d)-quasibounded solutions of nonlinear system xΔ=A(t)x+f(t,x) onto those of linear system xΔ=A(t)x. Our results generalize the Palmer's linearization theorem in [K.J. Palmer, A generalization of Hartman's linearization theorem, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 41 (1973) 753-758] to dynamic equation measure chains. In the present paper, we give a new analytical method to study the topological equivalence problem on measure chains. As we will see, due to the completely different method to investigate the topological equivalence problem, we have a considerably different result from that in the pioneering work of Hilger [S. Hilger, Generalized theorem of Hartman-Grobman on measure chains, J. Aust. Math. Soc. Ser. A 60 (2) (1996) 157-191]. Moreover, we prove that equivalent function H(t,x) is also ω-periodic when the systems are ω-periodic. Hilger [S. Hilger, Generalized theorem of Hartman-Grobman on measure chains, J. Aust. Math. Soc. Ser. A 60 (2) (1996) 157-191] never considered this important property of the equivalent function H(t,x).
