A new characterization of periodic oscillations in periodic difference equations

In this paper, we characterize periodic solutions of p-periodic difference equations. We classify the periods into multiples of p and nonmultiples of p. We show that the elements of the set of multiples of p follow the well-known Sharkovsky’s ordering multiplied by p. On the other hand, we show that the elements of the set Γ_p of nonmultiples of p are independent in their existence. Moreover, we show the existence of a p-periodic difference equation with infinite Γ_p-set in which the maps are defined on a compact domain and agree exactly on a countable set. Based on the proposed classification, we give a refinement of Sharkovsky’s theorem for periodic difference equations.     

Generalized periodic solutions of quasilinear equations

We study a boundary-value periodic problem for the quasilinear equationu _ff ?u _xx =F[u,u _f u _x ],u(0,t) =u (π,t),u (x, t + π/q) =u(x, t), 0 ≤x ≤π,t ∈ ?,q ∈ ?. We establish conditions under which the theorem on the uniqueness of a smooth solution is true.     

Bifurcation of periodic solutions of periodic evolution equations in a cone

We consider a class of nonlinear periodic evolution equations, leaving invariant a cone in a real Banach space, and satisfying appropriate monotonicity requirements. A necessary and sufficient condition is found for the existence of a (unique, globally attractive) nontrivial periodic solution within the cone. Such a condition is expressed in terms of an associated linear equation. To establish this result, an abstract version of the familiar comparison techniques for parabolic equations is worked out. Applications and examples are also discussed.     

The almost periodic type difference equations

In this paper, we study the existence of almost periodic type solutions of difference equations by means of exponential dichotomy and trichotomy of linear difference equations.

, (1) where x_t(θ) = x(t + θ), ?1 ? θ ? 0, so x_t?C = C([?1, 0], Rⁿ), and $\text{f∈}\textcolor{red}{}\text{=C}{}^{\mathrm{r}}\text{(C,R}{}^{\mathrm{n}}\text{)}$. Let 2 ? r ? ∞ and give $\text{X}$ the appropriate (Whitney) topology. Then the set of $\text{f∈}\textcolor{red}{}$ such that all fixed points and all periodic solutions of (¹) are hyperbolic is residual in

Systems of differential equations with periodic coefficients

We consider linear systems of differential equations with periodic coefficients. We prove the solvability of nonhomogeneous systems in the Sobolev space W ₂ ¹ (R) and establish estimates for the solutions. This result implies a perturbation theorem for the exponential dichotomy of systems of differential equations with periodic coefficients.     

Time periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations

Existence and regularity of solutions of $$(1)u_{tt} - u_{xx} = \varepsilon K(x,t,u,u_t )0< x< \pi ,0 \leqslant t \leqslant 2\pi $$ together with the periodicity and boundary conditions $$(2)u(x,t + 2\pi ) = u(x,t),u(0,t) = 0 = u(\pi ,t)$$ is studied both with an without the dissipation u_t. A solution is a pair (χ, u). A main feature of interest here is an infinite dimensional biofurcation problem. Under appropriate conditions on K, global existence results are obtained by a combination of analytical and topological methods.     

Estimates for periodic solutions of differential equations

A class of infinite delay equations which are per- turbations of finitely delayed equations is considered. Asymptotic estimates are obtained for the solutions from which we get the existence of periodic solutions. We review a few technics for fixed point theorems     

Positive periodic solutions of functional differential equations

We consider the existence, multiplicity and nonexistence of positive ω-periodic solutions for the periodic equation x′(t)=a(t)g(x)x(t)−λb(t)f(x(t−τ(t))), where are ω-periodic, , , f,g∈C([0,∞),[0,∞)), and f(u)>0 for u>0, g(x) is bounded, τ(t) is a continuous ω-periodic function. Define , , i₀=number of zeros in the set and i_∞=number of infinities in the set . We show that the equation has i₀ or i_∞ positive ω-periodic solution(s) for sufficiently large or small λ>0, respectively.     

Almost periodic solutions of discrete Volterra equations

For discrete Volterra equations with or without delay, we obtain several results concerning almost periodic solutions and asymptotically almost periodic solutions under certain conditions. We also investigate the relations among solutions of equations discussed and give an example to illustrate our results.
