Multidimensional analog of the two-dimensional perron effect of sign change of characteristic exponents for infinitely differentiable differential systems

We obtain a general n-dimensional analog of the two-dimensional (partial) Perron effect of sign change of all arbitrarily prescribed negative characteristic exponents of an n-dimensional differential system of the linear approximation with infinitely differentiable bounded coefficients to the positive sign for the characteristic exponents of all nontrivial solutions of a nonlinear n-dimensional differential system with infinitely differentiable perturbations of arbitrary order m > 1 of smallness in a neighborhood of the origin and growth outside it. These positive exponents take n values distributed over n arbitrarily prescribed disjoint intervals and are realized on solutions issuing from nested subspaces R ¹ ? R ² ? ... ? R ⁿ .     

Blow-up for the Timoshenko-type equation with variable exponents

The finite time blow-up of solutions to a nonlinear Timoshenko-type equation with variable exponents is studied. More concretely, we prove that the solutions blow up in finite time with positive initial energy. Also, the existence of finite time blow-up solutions with arbitrarily high initial energy is established. Meanwhile, the upper and lower bounds of the blow-up time are derived. These results deepen and generalize the ones obtained in [Nonlinear Anal. Real World Appl., 61: Paper No. 103341, 2021].     

Continual Version of the Perron Effect of Change in Values of Characteristic Exponents

A nonlinear perturbed differential system with a linear approximation is considered. An open question has been the validity of a (continual) version of the Perron effect when the set of Lyapunov exponents of all nontrivial solutions (necessarily infinitely extendable on the right) of the corresponding nonlinear perturbed system with a perturbation of arbitrary higher order of smallness in a neighborhood of the origin is measurable, lies entirely on the positive half-line, and has the cardinality of the continuum and even a positive Lebesgue measure. The positive answer to this question is given by the presented theorem, which generally determines an explicit representation of the Lyapunov exponents of all nontrivial solutions to the nonlinear system in terms of their initial values.     

On the perron sign change effect for Lyapunov characteristic exponents of solutions of differential systems

The Perron effect is the effect in which the characteristic Lyapunov exponents of solutions of a differential system change sign from negative to positive when passing to a perturbed system. We show that this effect is realized on all nontrivial solutions of two two-dimensional systems: an original linear system with negative characteristic exponents and a perturbed system with small perturbations of arbitrary order m > 1 in a neighborhood of the origin, all of whose nontrivial solutions have positive characteristic exponents. We compute the exact positive value of the characteristic exponents of solutions of the two-dimensional nonlinear Perron system with small second-order perturbations, which realizes only a partial Perron effect.     

A global solution curve for a class of periodic problems, including the pendulum equation

Using continuation methods and bifurcation theory, we study the exact multiplicity of periodic solutions, and the global solution structure, for a class of periodically forced pendulum-like equations. Our results apply also to the first order equations. We also show that by choosing a forcing term, one can produce periodic solutions with any number of Fourier coefficients arbitrarily prescribed.     

On the Baire Classification of Positive Characteristic Exponents in the Perron Effect of Change of Their Values

In the complete Perron effect of change of values of characteristic exponents, where all nontrivial solutions y(t, y₀) of the perturbed two-dimensional differential system are infinitely extendible and have finite positive exponents (the exponents of the linear approximation system being negative), we prove that the Lyapunov exponent λ[y(·, y₀)] of these solutions is a function of the second Baire class of their initial vectors y₀ ∈ ?ⁿ {0}.     

Localized solutions for the finite difference semi-discretization of the wave equation

We study the propagation properties of the solutions of the finite difference space semi-discrete wave equation on a uniform grid of the whole Euclidean space. We provide a construction of high frequency wave packets that propagate along the corresponding bi-characteristic rays of Geometric Optics with a group velocity arbitrarily close to zero. Our analysis is motivated by control theoretical issues. In particular, the continuous wave equation has the so-called observability property: for a sufficiently large time, the total energy of its solutions can be estimated in terms of the energy concentrated in the exterior of a compact set. This fails to be true, uniformly on the mesh-size parameter, for the semi-discrete schemes and the observability constant blows-up at an arbitrarily large polynomial order. Our contribution consists in providing a rigorous derivation of those wave packets and in analyzing their behavior near that ray, by taking into account the subtle added dispersive effects that the numerical scheme introduces.     

An algebraic method with computerized symbolic computation for the one-dimensional generalized BBM equation of any order

In this paper, an extended algebraic method with symbolic computation is applied to construct a series of travelling wave solutions of the one-dimensional generalized BBM equation of any order with positive and negative exponents. As a result, the proposed method gives many explicit exact solutions such as solitary wave solutions, periodic solutions, solitary patterns solutions and compacton solutions.     

Positive solutions to generalized Dickman equation

The paper investigates large-time behaviour of positive solutions to a generalized Dickman equation. The asymptotic behaviour of dominant and subdominant positive solutions is analysed and a structure formula describing behaviour of all solutions is proved. A criterion is also given for sufficient conditions on initial functions to generate positive solutions with prescribed asymptotic behaviour with values of their weighted limits computed.     

On the Perron exponents of discrete linear systems

This note studies properties of Perron or lower Lyapunov exponents for discrete time varying system. It is shown that for diagonal system of order s there are at most 2^s-1 lower Lyapunov exponents. By example it is demonstrated that in non-diagonal case it is possible to have arbitrarily many different Perron exponents. Finally it is shown that the exponent is almost everywhere equal to the lower Lyapunov exponent of the matrices coefficient sequence.

Simultaneous attainability of central exponents of a linear Hamiltonian system under Hamiltonian perturbations

We show that, for any linear Hamiltonian system, there exists an arbitrarily close (in the uniform metric on the half-line) linear Hamiltonian system whose upper and lower Lyapunov exponents coincide with the upper and lower upper-limit central Vinograd–Millionshchikov exponents, respectively, of the original system and whose upper and lower Perron exponents coincide with the respective lower-limit exponents of the original system.     

Localization of surface waves by small perturbations of the boundary of a semisubmerged body

It is shown under the condition of symmetry that, by means of formation of a thin groove on the planar surface of a body parallel to the liquid’s horizon in a cylindrical channel, we can achieve the following effect in the linear problem concerning the waves on water: on every arbitrarily short interval (0, d) of the continuous spectrum, any prescribed number of the eigenvalues is formed giving rise to “localized” solutions, i.e., belonging to a Sobolev space.     

Quantitative uniqueness of solutions to second order elliptic equations with singular potentials in two dimensions

In this article, we study the vanishing order of solutions to second order elliptic equations with singular lower order terms in the plane. In particular, we derive lower bounds for solutions on arbitrarily small balls in terms of the Lebesgue norms of the lower order terms for all admissible exponents. Then we show that a scaling argument allows us to pass from these vanishing order estimates to estimates for the rate of decay of solutions at infinity. Our proofs rely on a new \(L^p - L^q\) Carleman estimate for the Laplacian in \(\mathbb {R}^2\).     

Multiple positive solutions for Kirchhoff type of problems with singularity and critical exponents

In this paper, we study multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of Kirchhoff type of equations with the nonlinearity containing both singularity and critical exponents. We obtain two positive solutions via the variational and perturbation methods.     

Existence and Multiple Solutions of the Minimum-Fuel Orbit Transfer Problem

In this paper, the well-known problem of piloting a rocket with a low thrust propulsion system in an inverse square law field (say from Earth orbit to Mars orbit or from Earth orbit to Mars) is considered. By direct methods, it is shown that the existence of a fuel-optimal solution of this problem can be guaranteed, if one restricts the admissible transfer times by an arbitrarily prescribed upper bound. Numerical solutions of the problem with different numbers of thrust subarcs are presented which are obtained by multiple shooting techniques. Further, a general principle for the construction of such solutions with increasing numbers of thrust subarcs is given. The numerical results indicate that there might not exist an overall optimal solution of the Earth-orbit problem with unbounded free transfer time.     

Blow‐up solutions for localized reaction‐diffusion equations with variable exponents

This paper deals with radial solutions to localized reaction‐diffusion equations with variable exponents, subject to homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. The global existence versus blow‐up criteria are studied in terms of the variable exponents. We proposed that the maximums of variable exponents are the key clue to determine blow‐up classifications and describe blow‐up rates for positive solutions.

Estimation over Curves of the Functions Given by Dirichlet Series on a Half-Plane

We study the maximal term of the Hadamard composition of Dirichlet series with real exponents. We obtain a lower estimate for the sum of a Dirichlet series over a curve arbitrarily approaching the convergence line.     

Lack of BV bounds for approximate solutions to the p-system with large data

We consider front tracking approximate solutions to the p-system of isentropic gas dynamics. At interaction times, the outgoing wave fronts have the same strength as in the exact solution of the Riemann problem, but some error is allowed in their speed. For large BV initial data, we construct examples showing that the total variation of these approximate solutions can become arbitrarily large, or even blow up in finite time. This happens even if the density of the gas remains uniformly positive.
