Approximating crossed symmetric solutions of nonlinear dynamic equations via quasilinearization

Crossed symmetric solutions of nonlinear boundary value dynamic problems play an important role in many applications, in particular in adaptive algorithm designs. This article is devoted to the continuation of our investigation on second-order nonlinear companion dynamic boundary value problems on time scales. Monotonically convergent upper and lower solutions of the problems and their quasilinear approximations are investigated. It is shown that, under proper smoothness constraints, the iterative sequences constructed not only converge to the analytic solutions of the desired companion problems monotonically, but also preserve important crossed symmetry properties. The quasilinearization offers an efficient way in the solution approximation. Computational examples are given to illustrate our results.     

Positive solutions of even order system periodic boundary value problems

We study a class of even order system boundary value problems with periodic boundary conditions. A series of criteria are obtained for the existence of one, two, any arbitrary number, and even a countably infinite number of positive solutions. Criteria for the nonexistence of positive solutions are also derived. As for the second order case, our results extend, improve, and supplement those in the literature for scalar and system boundary value problems. Several examples are given to demonstrate the applications. Moreover, we obtain conditions for system periodic boundary value problems of a different form to have nontrivial solutions by transforming our main results to such problems.     

Estimates of solutions of initial-irregular oblique derivative problems for linear parabolic equations of second order with measurable coefficients

The initial-irregular oblique derivative boundary value problems for linear and nondivergence parabolic complex equations of second order in multiply connected domains are dealt with, where the coefficients of equations are measurable.

A method of convolution of Fourier expansions as applied to solving boundary value problems with intersecting interface lines

An efficient method of construction of solutions to a set of boundary value problems with additional interface conditions, more complicated boundary conditions, and so on on the basis of known solutions to classical boundary value problems is proposed. The method is based on the representation of solutions to classical and more complicated problems in the form of expansions into Fourier series with subsequent reduction of one series to the other. As a result, formulas directly expressing solutions to more complicated problems in terms of solutions to classical problems are obtained. On the basis of the well-known solution to the Dirichlet problem on a half plane, solutions to boundary value problems with interface conditions (including generalized conditions of the type of a crack and a screen) on intersecting straight lines for boundary conditions of the first and the third kind are obtained.     

New fixed point theorems for mixed monotone operators and local existence-uniqueness of positive solutions for nonlinear boundary value problems

In this article we present a new fixed point theorem for a class of general mixed monotone operators, which extends the existing corresponding results. Moreover, we establish some pleasant properties of nonlinear eigenvalue problems for mixed monotone operators. Based on them the local existence-uniqueness of positive solutions for nonlinear boundary value problems which include Neumann boundary value problems, three-point boundary value problems and elliptic boundary value problems for Lane-Emden-Fowler equations is proved. The theorems for nonlinear boundary value problems obtained here are very general.     

Duality and uniqueness of convex solutions to stationary Hamilton-Jacobi equations

Value functions for convex optimal control problems on infinite time intervals are studied in the framework of duality. Hamilton-Jacobi characterizations and the conjugacy of primal and dual value functions are of main interest. Close ties between the uniqueness of convex solutions to a Hamilton-Jacobi equation, the uniqueness of such solutions to a dual Hamilton-Jacobi equation, and the conjugacy of primal and dual value functions are displayed. Simultaneous approximation of primal and dual infinite horizon problems with a pair of dual problems on finite horizon, for which the value functions are conjugate, leads to sufficient conditions on the conjugacy of the infinite time horizon value functions. Consequently, uniqueness results for the Hamilton-Jacobi equation are established. Little regularity is assumed on the cost functions in the control problems, correspondingly, the Hamiltonians need not display any strict convexity and may have several saddle points.

     

On fourth-order elliptic boundary value problems

This paper is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of a solution for a class of fourth-order elliptic boundary value problems. The existence of a solution is proven by the method of upper and lower solutions without any monotone nondecreasing or nonincreasing property of the nonlinear function. Sufficient conditions for the uniqueness of a solution and some techniques for the construction of upper and lower solutions are given. All the existence and uniqueness results are directly applicable to fourth-order two-point boundary value problems.

     

First-order advanced difference equations

We investigate the existence of solutions to nonlinear first-order difference problems with advanced arguments. Sufficient conditions when such problems have solutions (extremal or unique) are given. Linear advanced difference inequalities are also discussed. According to my knowledge, it is a first paper when a monotone iterative method is applied to nonlinear boundary value problems for first-order difference equations with advanced arguments. An example illustrates the theoretical results.

Optimal control problems for the reaction–diffusion–convection equation with variable coefficients

The solvability of optimal control problems is proved on both weak and strong solutions of a boundary value problem for the nonlinear reaction–diffusion–convection equation with variable coefficients. In the second case, the requirements for smoothness of the multiplicative control are reduced. The study of extremal problems is based on the proof of the solvability of the corresponding boundary value problems and on the qualitative analysis of their solutions properties. The large data existence results for weak solutions, the maximum principle as well as the local existence and uniqueness of a strong solution are established. Moreover, an optimal feedback control problem is considered. Using methods of the theory of topological degree for set-valued perturbations (with aspheric image sets) of generalized monotone operators, we obtain sufficient conditions for the solvability of this problem in the class of weak solutions.     

Triple solutions for a nonlocal functional boundary value problem by leggett–williams theorem

The existence of triple solutions for a second-order nonlocal functional boundary value problem is proved by using a fixed-point theorem on cones in Banach spaces due to Leggett and Williams. The obtained results are new even in the ordinary case for three-point boundary value problems discussed quite recently in [Xiaoming He and Weigao Ge (2002). Triple solutions for second-order three-point boundary value problems. J. Math. Anal. Appl., 268, 256–265].
