Existence of infinitely many solutions for the one-dimensional Perona-Malik model

We establish the existence of infinitely many weak solutions for the the one-dimensional version of the well-known and widely used Perona-Malik anisotropic diffusion equation model in image processing. We establish the existence result under the homogeneous Neumann condition with smooth non-constant initial values. Our method is to convert the problem into a partial differential inclusion problem.     

Young measure solutions of a class of forward-backward diffusion equations

This paper is devoted to Young measure solutions of a class of forward-backward diffusion equations. Inspired by the idea from a recent work of Demoulini, we first discuss the regular case by introducing the Young measure solutions and prove the existence for such solutions, and then approximate the extreme case by the approach of regularization and establish the existence of Young measure solutions in the class of functions with bounded variation.

Young measure solutions and instability of the one-dimensional Perona-Malik equation

We apply a variational approach to the one-dimensional version of the widely used Perona-Malik equation in image processing. We rephrase the problem into the one related to the quasiconvex hull of a graph in the space of 2×2 matrices M2×2. We then use the solutions of some heat equations as the centre of the mass for the Young measure-valued solutions to construct the approximate solutions by using simple laminates. The approximate solutions can be viewed as solutions of a perturbation problem by W−1,p (or W−1,∞) functions. The sequences of the approximate solutions generates Young measure-valued solutions. Our results also show that the solutions of the one-dimensional Perona-Malik equation are unstable under small W−1,∞ perturbations.     

On the existence of solutions for strongly nonlinear differential equations

The objectives of this paper are twofold. Firstly, to prove the existence of an approximate solution in the mean for some nonlinear differential equations, we also investigate the behavior of the class of solutions which may be associated with the differential equation. Secondly, we aim to implement the homotopy perturbation method (HPM) to find analytic solutions for strongly nonlinear differential equations.     

Approximation and existence of periodic solutions for controlled diffusion equations

This paper concerns the existence of control functions such that a system of controlled stochastic differential equations (SDE) with periodic coefficients has a solution which is periodic in distribution. We show that bounded periodic controls acting in the same direction as the Driving Wiener process will achieve this under some nondegeneracy condition on the diffusion part. The main tool is an approximation theorem for solutions of SDEs which enables one to check certain stability conditions on a more suitable differential equation

Multiple periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with not coercive potential

Under an appropriate oscillating behavior of the nonlinear term, the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions for a class of second order Hamiltonian systems is established. Moreover, the existence of two non-trivial periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with not coercive potential is obtained, and the existence of three periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with coercive potential is pointed out. The approach is based on critical point theorems.
