On the exponential stability of solutions of periodic systems of the neutral type with several delays

We obtain conditions for the exponential stability of the zero solution of linear periodic systems of differential equations of the neutral type with several constant delays, which are stated in terms of a Lyapunov–Krasovskii functional of a special form. We derive estimates that specify the decay rate of solutions at infinity.     

Estimates of solutions to a class of systems of nonlinear delay differential equations

Under study are the systems of nonlinear delay differential equations with periodic coefficients of the linear terms. Some sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the zero solution are established. We obtain the estimates that characterize the decay rate of solutions at infinity and describe the attraction sets of the zero solution.     

Stability of solutions to delay differential equations with periodic coefficients of linear terms

Under study are the systems of quasilinear delay differential equations with periodic coefficients of linear terms. We establish sufficient conditions for the asymptotic stability of the zero solution, obtain estimates for solutions which characterize the decay rate at infinity, and find the attractor of the zero solution. Similar results are obtained for systems with parameters.     

A Branching Method for Studying Stability of a Solution to a Delay Differential Equation

We introduce a one-parameter family of periodic solutions to a special system of ordinary differential equations with a variable period. Conditions for stability of an antisymmetric periodic solution to a delay differential equation are stated in terms of this period function.

An Estimate for the Attraction Domains of Difference Equations with Periodic Linear Terms

We consider the quasilinear systems of difference equations with periodic coefficients in linear terms. We obtain estimates for the attraction domain of the zero solution and establish inequalities for the norms of solutions. The results are stated in terms of Lyapunov-type matrix series.     

Multipoint problem for typeless factorized differential operators

We analyze the well-posedness of a problem with multipoint conditions in the time variable and periodic conditions in the spatial coordinates for differential operators decomposable into operators of the first order with complex coefficients. We establish conditions for the existence and uniqueness of the classical solution of the problem under consideration and prove metric theorems for the lower estimates of small denominators appearing in the process of construction of the solution.     

Existence of Small Periodic Solutions of Nonlinear Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations

We investigate the case where conditions for the existence of a nonzero periodic solution of a system of ordinary differential equations are determined by the properties of elements of the matrix of linear approximation and the properties of nonlinear terms.     

Applicability of the Interval Taylor Model to the Computational Proof of Existence of Periodic Trajectories in Systems of Ordinary Differential Equations

We consider the construction of the interval Taylor model used to prove the existence of periodic trajectories in systems of ordinary differential equations. Our model differs from the ones available in the literature in the method for describing the algorithms for the computation of arithmetic operations over Taylor models. In the framework of the current model, this permits reducing the computational expenditures for obtaining interval estimates on computers. We prove an assertion that permits establishing the existence of a periodic solution of a system of ordinary differential equations by verifying the convergence of the Picard iterations in the sense of embedding of the proposed Taylor models. An example illustrating how the resulting assertion can be used to prove the existence of a closed trajectory in the van der Pol system is given.     

Estimates for the embedding operator of a sobolev space of periodic functions and for the solutions of differential equations with periodic coefficients

We obtain estimates for the embedding operator of a Sobolev space in the space of continuous periodic functions and use them to estimate the solutions of differential equations with periodic coefficients. We prove a theorem on a necessary and sufficient condition for the invertibility of a differential operator with unbounded operator coefficients.     

Stability of piecewise polynomial collocation for computing periodic solutions of delay differential equations

Summary. We prove numerical stability of a class of piecewise polynomial collocation methods on nonuniform meshes for computing asymptotically stable and unstable periodic solutions of the linear delay differential equation by a (periodic) boundary value approach. This equation arises, e.g., in the study of the numerical stability of collocation methods for computing periodic solutions of nonlinear delay equations. We obtain convergence results for the standard collocation algorithm and for two variants. In particular, estimates of the difference between the collocation solution and the true solution are derived. For the standard collocation scheme the convergence results are “unconditional”, that is, they do not require mesh-ratio restrictions. Numerical results that support the theoretical findings are also given. Received June 9, 2000 / Revised version received December 14, 2000 / Published online October 17, 2001     

Computational fixed-point theory for differential delay equations with multiple time lags

We introduce a general computational fixed-point method to prove existence of periodic solutions of differential delay equations with multiple time lags. The idea of such a method is to compute numerical approximations of periodic solutions using Newton?s method applied on a finite dimensional projection, to derive a set of analytic estimates to bound the truncation error term and finally to use this explicit information to verify computationally the hypotheses of a contraction mapping theorem in a given Banach space. The fixed point so obtained gives us the desired periodic solution. We provide two applications. The first one is a proof of coexistence of three periodic solutions for a given delay equation with two time lags, and the second one provides rigorous computations of several nontrivial periodic solutions for a delay equation with three time lags.     

Green's function for second-order periodic boundary value problems with piecewise constant arguments

We obtain, under suitable conditions, the Green's function to express the unique solution for a second-order functional differential equation with periodic boundary conditions and functional dependence given by a piecewise constant function. This expression is given in terms of the solutions for certain associated problems. The sign of the solution is determined taking into account the sign of that Green's function.     

Computation of periodic orbits in three‐dimensional Lotka‐Volterra systems

This paper deals with an adaptation of the Poincaré‐Lindstedt method for the determination of periodic orbits in three‐dimensional nonlinear differential systems. We describe here a general symbolic algorithm to implement the method and apply it to compute periodic solutions in a three‐dimensional Lotka‐Volterra system modeling a chain food interaction. The sufficient conditions to make secular terms disappear from the approximate series solution are given in the paper.     

Navier–Stokes equations and forward–backward SDEs on the group of diffeomorphisms of a torus

We establish a connection between the strong solution to the spatially periodic Navier–Stokes equations and a solution to a system of forward–backward stochastic differential equations (FBSDEs) on the group of volume-preserving diffeomorphisms of a flat torus. We construct representations of the strong solution to the Navier–Stokes equations in terms of diffusion processes.     

CAUCHY PROBLEM FOR A NONLINEAR SINGULAR INTEGRAL-DIFFERENTIAL EVOLUTION SYSTEM

We study the Cauchy problem for a nonlinear evolution system with singularintegral differential terms, By means of some a priori estimates of the solution and the Leray-Schander‘s fixed point theorem, we prove the existence and the uniqueness theorems of the generalized global solution of the mentioned problem.     

On the spectrum of almost periodic solution of second order scalar functional differential equations with piecewise constant argument

We study the spectrum containment of almost periodic solution to neutral delay differential equations with piecewise constant argument (EPCA, for short). We find an important property, which is different from that given by Cartwright for ordinary differential equations (ODE). Some known (periodic solution) results would be expanded. As a corollary, it is shown that EPCA with periodic perturbations possess a quasi-periodic solution and no periodic solution. This new phenomenon is due to the piecewise constant argument and illustrates a crucial difference between ODE and EPCA.

Jorke's Theorem and Wirtinger's Inequality

We consider autonomous systems of ordinary differential equations (of first or higher order) whose right-hand sides satisfy the Lipschitz condition stated in terms of the Euclidean metric and of nonnegative matrices. Using Wirtinger's inequality, we prove theorems on the lower bounds for the periods of periodic nonstationary solutions of autonomous systems, which generalize Jorke's theorem. In the case of nonnegative indecomposable matrices we discuss the sharpness of the estimates obtained.     

Time periodic solutions of compressible Navier-Stokes equations

In this paper, we study the Navier-Stokes equations with a time periodic external force in Rn. We show that a time periodic solution exists when the space dimension n?5 under some smallness assumption. The main idea is to combine the energy method and the spectral analysis for the optimal decay estimates on the linearized solution operator. With the optimal decay estimates, we prove the existence and uniqueness of time periodic solution in some suitable function space by the contraction mapping theorem. In addition, we also study the time asymptotic stability of the time periodic solution.
