Linear and nonlinear abstract equations with parameters

This paper focuses on nonlocal boundary value problems for linear and nonlinear abstract elliptic equations in Banach spaces. Here equations and boundary conditions contain certain parameters. The uniform separability of the linear problem and the existence and uniqueness of maximal regular solution of nonlinear problem are obtained in L_p spaces. For linear case the discreteness of spectrum of corresponding parameter dependent differential operator is obtained. The behavior of solution when the parameter approaches zero and its smoothness with respect to the parameter is established. Moreover, we show the estimate for analytic semigroups in terms of interpolation spaces. This fact can be used to obtain maximal regularity properties for abstract boundary value problems.     

Study of degenerate evolution equations with memory by operator semigroup methods

We reduce the problem with some history prescribed for an integrodifferential equation in a Banach space including memory effect to the Cauchy problem for some evolution system with a constant operator in a larger space that possesses a resolvent (C₀)-semigroup. This enables us to state conditions for the existence of a unique classical solution to the original problem. We use the results to study the unique solvability of problems with history prescribed for degenerate linear evolution equations with memory in Banach spaces. We show that the initial-boundary value problem for the linearized integrodifferential Oskolkov system describing the dynamics of Kelvin–Voigt fluids in linear approximation belongs to this class of problems.     

Second Order Elliptic Differential-Operator Equations with Unbounded Operator Boundary Conditions in <Emphasis Type="Italic">UMD</Emphasis> Banach Spaces

In a UMD Banach space E, we consider a boundary value problem for a second order elliptic differential-operator equation with a spectral parameter when one of the boundary conditions, in the principal part, contains a linear unbounded operator in E. A theorem on an isomorphism is proved and an appropriate estimate of the solution with respect to the space variable and the spectral parameter is obtained. In this way, Fredholm property of the problem is shown. Moreover, discreteness of the spectrum and completeness of a system of root functions corresponding to the homogeneous problem are established. Finally, applications of obtained abstract results to nonlocal boundary value problems for elliptic differential equations with a parameter in non-smooth domains are given.     

Existence of solutions to nonlinear Hammerstein integral equations and applications

In this paper, we study the existence and multiplicity of solutions of the operator equation Kfu=u in the real Hilbert space L²(G). Under certain conditions on the linear operator K, we establish the conditions on f which are able to guarantee that the operator equation has at least one solution, a unique solution, and infinitely many solutions, respectively. The monotone operator principle and the critical point theory are employed to discuss this problem, respectively. In argument, quadratic root operator K1/2 and its properties play an important role. As an application, we investigate the existence and multiplicity of solutions to fourth-order boundary value problems for ordinary differential equations with two parameters, and give some new existence results of solutions.     

Bounded mild solutions to fractional integro-differential equations in Banach spaces

We study the existence and uniqueness of bounded solutions for the semilinear fractional differential equation $$D^\alpha u(t)= Au(t)+ \int_{-\infty}^t a(t-s)Au(s)ds+ f \bigl(t,u(t) \bigr), \quad t \in\mathbb{R}, $$ where A is a closed linear operator defined on a Banach space X, α>0, a∈L ¹(?₊) is a scalar-valued kernel and f:?×X→X satisfies some Lipschitz type conditions. Sufficient conditions are established for the existence and uniqueness of an almost periodic, almost automorphic and asymptotically almost periodic solution, among other.     

Solvability for p-Laplacian generalized fractional coupled systems with two-sided memory effects

This paper determines the solvability of multipoint boundary value problems for p-Laplacian generalized fractional differential systems with Riesz–Caputo derivative, which exhibits two-sided nonlocal memory effects. An equivalent integral form for the generalized fractional differential system is deduced by transformation. First, we obtain the existence of solutions on the basis of the upper–lower solutions method, in which an explicit iterative approach for approximating the solution is established. Second, we deal with a special case of our fractional differential system; in order to obtain novel results, an abstract sum-type operator equation A(x,x)+Bx+e=x on ordered Banach space is discussed. Without requiring the existence of upper–lower solutions or compactness conditions, we get several unique results of solutions for this operator equation, which provide new inspiration for the study of boundary value problems. Then, we apply these abstract results to get the uniqueness of solutions for our differential system.     

Weighted pseudo almost periodic mild solutions of semilinear evolution equations with nonlocal conditions

In this paper, applying the theory of semigroups of operators to evolution families and Banach fixed point theorem, we prove the existence and uniqueness of the weighted pseudo almost periodic mild solution of the semilinear evolution equation x^′(t)=A(t)x(t)+f(t,x(t)) with nonlocal conditions x(0)=x₀+g(x) in Banach space X under some suitable hypotheses.     

Probability methods and nonlinear analysis

The concepts of accretive and differentiable operator in a Banach space B are used to show that certain approximations to a solution of a nonlinear evolution equation converge. When B is a space of continuous functions it is shown that the approximations and the solution be represented as integrals with respect to a signed measure on a function space. As an example, a new proof is given for the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a nonlinear parabolic differential equations with coefficients dependent upon solutions. Integral representations of these solutions follow.     

Existence of Global Solutions for a Class of Abstract Second-Order Nonlocal Cauchy Problem with Impulsive Conditions in Banach Spaces

In this paper, we are concerned with a class of abstract second-order nonlocal Cauchy problem with impulsive conditions in Banach spaces. First, we study the existence of mild solutions for a class of second-order nonlocal Cauchy problem with impulsive conditions in Banach spaces on an interval [0,a]. Later, we study a couple of cases where we can establish the existence of global solutions for a class of abstract second-order nonlocal Cauchy problem with impulsive conditions in Banach spaces. We apply our theory to study the existence of solutions for impulsive partial differential equations.     

On analytic solutions of operator differential equations

We find conditions on a closed operator A in a Banach space that are necessary and sufficient for the existence of solutions of a differential equation y′(t) = Ay(t), t ∈[0,∞),in the classes of entire vector functions with given order of growth and type. We present criteria for the denseness of classes of this sort in the set of all solutions. These criteria enable one to prove the existence of a solution of the Cauchy problem for the equation under consideration in the class of analytic vector functions and to justify the convergence of the approximate method of power series. In the special case where A is a differential operator, the problem of applicability of this method was first formulated by Weierstrass. Conditions under which this method is applicable were found by Kovalevskaya.     

The method of lines applied to nonlinear nonlocal functional differential equations

Well-posedness of an infinite system of partial differential equations modelling parasitic infection in an age-structured host

We study a deterministic model for the dynamics of a population infected by macroparasites. The model consists of an infinite system of partial differential equations, with initial and boundary conditions; the system is transformed in an abstract Cauchy problem on a suitable Banach space, and existence and uniqueness of the solution are obtained through multiplicative perturbation of a linear C₀-semigroup. Positivity and boundedness are proved using the specific form of the equations.     

Formulation and well-posedness of the Cauchy problem for a diffusion equation with discontinuous degenerating coefficients

The choice of a differential diffusion operator with discontinuous coefficients that corresponds to a finite flow velocity and a finite concentration is substantiated. For the equation with a uniformly elliptic operator and a nonzero diffusion coefficient, conditions are established for the existence and uniqueness of a solution to the corresponding Cauchy problem. For the diffusion equation with degeneration on a half-line, it is proved that the Cauchy problem with an arbitrary initial condition has a unique solution if and only if there is no flux from the degeneration domain to the ellipticity domain of the operator. Under this condition, a sequence of solutions to regularized problems is proved to converge uniformly to the solution of the degenerate problem in L ₁(R) on each interval.     

Degenerate Linear Evolution Equations with the Riemann–Liouville Fractional Derivative

We study the unique solvability of the Cauchy and Schowalter–Sidorov type problems in a Banach space for an evolution equation with a degenerate operator at the fractional derivative under the assumption that the operator acting on the unknown function in the equation is p-bounded with respect to the operator at the fractional derivative. The conditions are found ensuring existence of a unique solution representable by means of the Mittag-Leffler type functions. Some abstract results are illustrated by an example of a finite-dimensional degenerate system of equations of a fractional order and employed in the study of unique solvability of an initial-boundary value problem for the linearized Scott-Blair system of dynamics of a medium.     

Monotone Iterative Technique for a Class of Semilinear Evolution Equations with Nonlocal Conditions

This paper discusses the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for a class of semilinear evolution equations with nonlocal conditions in an ordered Banach space E. Under some monotonicity conditions and noncompactness measure conditions of the nonlinearity, a new monotone iterative method on the evolution equations with nonlocal conditions has been established. Particularly, an existence result without using noncompactness measure condition is obtained in ordered and weakly sequentially complete Banach spaces, which is very convenient for application. An example to illustrate our main results is also given.     

Existence and quasilinearization in Banach spaces

We establish some existence results for the nonlinear problem Au=f in a reflexive Banach space V, without and with upper and lower solutions. We then consider the application of the quasilinearization method to the above mentioned problem. Under fairly general assumptions on the nonlinear operator A and the Banach space V, we show that this problem has a solution that can be obtained as the strong limit of two quadratically convergent monotone sequences of solutions of certain related linear equations.     

Faedo–Galerkin Approximation of Solution for a Nonlocal Neutral Fractional Differential Equation with Deviating Argument

In this work, we study a class of nonlocal neutral fractional differential equations with deviated argument in the separable Hilbert space. We obtain an associated integral equation and then, consider a sequence of approximate integral equations. We investigate the existence and uniqueness of the mild solution for every approximate integral equation by virtue of the theory of analytic semigroup theory via the technique of Banach fixed point theorem. Next we demonstrate the convergence of the solutions of the approximate integral equations to the solution of the associated integral equation. The Faedo–Galerkin approximation of the solution is studied and demonstrated some convergence results. Finally, we give an example.

     

Abstract time-dependent transport equations

We consider the abstract time-dependent linear transport equation as an initial-boundary value evolution problem in the Banach spaces L_p, 1 ⩽ p < ∞, or on a space of measures on a (possibly time-dependent) kinetic phase space. Existence, uniqueness, dissipativity, and positivity results are proved for very general, possibly time-dependent, transport operators and boundary conditions. When the phase space, boundary conditions, and transport operator are independent of time, corresponding results are obtained for the associated semigroup.     

On a class of essentially nonlinear elliptic differential-difference equations

An essentially nonlinear differential-difference equation containing the product of the p-Laplacian and a difference operator is considered. Sufficient conditions are obtained for the corresponding nonlinear differential-difference operator to be coercive and pseudomonotone in the case of nonvariational statement of the differential equation. The existence of a generalized solution to the Dirichlet problem for the nonlinear equation is proved.
