Non-autonomous perturbation of autonomous semilinear differential equations: Continuity of local stable and unstable manifolds

In this paper we prove a result on lower semicontinuity of pullback attractors for dynamical systems given by semilinear differential equations in a Banach space. The situation considered is such that the perturbed dynamical system is non-autonomous whereas the limiting dynamical system is autonomous and has an attractor given as union of unstable manifold of hyperbolic equilibrium points. Starting with a semilinear autonomous equation with a hyperbolic equilibrium solution and introducing a very small non-autonomous perturbation we prove the existence of a hyperbolic global solution for the perturbed equation near this equilibrium. Then we prove that the local unstable and stable manifolds associated to them are given as graphs (roughness of dichotomy plays a fundamental role here). Moreover, we prove the continuity of this local unstable and stable manifolds with respect to the perturbation. With that result we conclude the lower semicontinuity of pullback attractors.     

Algorithms for solutions of extended general mixed variational inequalities and fixed points

In this paper, we introduce and study a new class of extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities and a new class of extended general resolvent equations and establish the equivalence between the extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities and implicit fixed point problems as well as the extended general resolvent equations. Then by using this equivalent formulation, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of solution of the problem of extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities. Applying the aforesaid equivalent alternative formulation and a nearly uniformly Lipschitzian mapping S, we construct some new resolvent iterative algorithms for finding an element of set of the fixed points of nearly uniformly Lipschitzian mapping S which is the unique solution of the problem of extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities. We study convergence analysis of the suggested iterative schemes under some suitable conditions. We also suggest and analyze a class of extended general resolvent dynamical systems associated with the extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities and show that the trajectory of the solution of the extended general resolvent dynamical system converges globally exponentially to the unique solution of the extended general nonlinear mixed variational inequalities. The results presented in this paper extend and improve some known results in the literature.     

On the new solutions of the generalized Burgers–Huxley equation

In this paper, we investigate a class of generalized Burgers–Huxley equation by employing the bifurcation method of planar dynamical systems. Firstly, we reduce the equation to a planar system via the traveling wave solution ansatz; then by computing the singular point quantities, we obtain the conditions of integrability and determine the existence of one stable limit cycle from Hopf bifurcation in the corresponding planar system. From this, some new exact solutions and a special periodic traveling wave solution, which is isolated as a limit, are obtained. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Bifurcations of fuzzy nonlinear dynamical systems

We present some recent developments of the fuzzy generalized cell mapping method (FGCM) in this paper. The topological property of the FGCM and its finite convergence of membership distribution vector are discussed. Powerful algorithms of digraphs are adopted for the analysis of topological properties of the FGCM systems. Bifurcations of fuzzy nonlinear dynamical systems are studied by using the FGCM method. A backward algorithm is introduced to study the unstable equilibrium solutions and their bifurcation. We have found that near the deterministic bifurcation point, the fuzzy system undergoes a complex transition as the control parameter varies. In this transition region, the steady state membership distribution is dependent on the initial condition. If we use the measure and topology of the α-cut (α = 1) of the steady state membership function of the persistent group representing the stable fuzzy equilibrium solution to characterize the fuzzy bifurcation, assuming the uniform initial condition within the persistent group, the bifurcation of the fuzzy dynamical system is then completed within an interval of the control parameter, rather than at a point as is the case of deterministic systems.     

Synthesis of minimum-order robust inverters

In the present paper, we consider the inversion problem for dynamical systems, that is, the problem of reconstruction of the unknown input signal ξ(t) of a given system on the basis of known information (about either the complete phase vector or a measurable output of the system). An auxiliary dynamical system forming the desired estimate of the signal ξ(t) is called an inverter.In earlier papers of the authors, attention was mainly paid to the possibility of inversion of a dynamical system in different cases in principle. In this relation, a model of dynamical systems with some stabilizing control was used as an inverter for the solution of the problem; moreover, this control was often designed with the use of an additional dynamical system, an observer of the phase vector of the original system or the system in deviations. Thus, a dynamical system whose dimension either coincides with the dimension of the original system or exceeds it was considered as an inverter.In the solution of practical problems, it is often required to synthesize inverters of minimal order. (This requirement is related to constraints on the complexity, cost, and operation speed of automated control systems.) In the present paper, we consider the problem on the possible reduction of the order of the inverter in various cases and the problem on the construction of inverters of minimal order.     

Exponential attractors for first-order lattice dynamical systems

In l², we investigate the existence of an exponential attractor for the solution semigroup of a first-order lattice dynamical system acting on a closed bounded positively invariant set which needs not to be compact since l² is infinite dimensional. Up to our knowledge, this is the first time to examine the existence of exponential attractors for lattice dynamical systems.     

Uniform exponential attractors for second order non-autonomous lattice dynamical systems

In this paper, the existence of a uniform exponential attractor for a second order non-autonomous lattice dynamical system with quasiperiodic symbols acting on a closed bounded set is considered. Firstly, the existence and uniqueness of solutions for the considered systems which generate a family of continuous processes is shown, and the existence of a uniform bounded absorbing sets for the processes is proved. Secondly, a semigroup defined on a extended space is introduced, and the Lipschitz continuity, α-contraction and squeezing property of this semigroup are proved. Finally, the existence of a uniform exponential attractor for the family of processes associated with the studied lattice dynamical systems is obtained.     

Gap Functions and Lyapunov Functions

Equilibrium problems play a central role in the study of complex and competitive systems. Many variational formulations of these problems have been presented in these years. So, variational inequalities are very useful tools for the study of equilibrium solutions and their stability. More recently a dynamical model of equilibrium problems based on projection operators was proposed. It is designated as globally projected dynamical system (GPDS). The equilibrium points of this system are the solutions to the associated variational inequality (VI) problem. A very popular approach for finding solution of these VI and for studying its stability consists in introducing the so-called "gap-functions", while stability analysis of an equilibrium point of dynamical systems can be made by means of Lyapunov functions. In this paper we show strict relationships between gap functions and Lyapunov functions.     

The stability of constant equilibrium states in relaxation models

We consider various first-order systems of PDEs with partial dissipation, as well as partial conservation. This class includes relaxation models, for instance the one designed by S. Jin and Z. Xin, as well as discrete velocity models for gases, as the Broadwell system. As we showed in a recent paper, the Jin-Xin model admits a convex compact positively invariant region, whenever the equilibrium system does. As a by-product, we obtained the existence of global weak solutions for the Cauchy problem with large data. For more general systems, the global existence of a uniformly bounded entropy solution will be a basic assumption in this work. We consider one-dimensional data which are either space periodic or square integrable. We prove that the (expected globally bounded) entropy solution relaxes to the equilibrium state; the latter is either zero or is determined by the mean value of the conserved components. We emphasize that we do not need any assumption about the nonlinearity of the underlying equilibrium system. We give two different proofs of the stabilization, which apply in different contexts. The first one uses compensated compactness and has a rather broad efficiency. For instance, it applies to several quasi-linear models. But the convergence result does not provide any decay rate in the periodic setting. The other one uses a dispersion estimate for the principal part of the model. It applies to periodic data and needs the strong assumption of semi-linearity, but yields an exponential decay in theL ²-norm. We expect that it could extend to multi-dimensional contexts.     

ASYMPTOTIC SOLUTION OF SINGULARLY PERTURBED HYBRID DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

In this paper, we consider a class of optimal control problem for the singularly perturbed hybrid dynamical systems. By means of variational method, we obtain the necessary conditions of the hybrid dynamical systems. Meanwhile, the existence of solution for the hybrid dynamical system is proved by the sewing method and the uniformly valid asymptotic expansion of the optimal trajectory is constructed by the boundary function method. Finally,an example is presented to illustrate the result.     

Stability analysis for neural networks with inverse Lipschitzian neuron activations and impulses

In this paper, a new concept called α-inverse Lipschitz function is introduced. Based on the topological degree theory and Lyapunov functional method, we investigate global convergence for a novel class of neural networks with impulses where the neuron activations belong to the class of α-inverse Lipschitz functions. Some sufficient conditions are derived which ensure the existence, and global exponential stability of the equilibrium point of neural networks. Furthermore, we give two results which are used to check the stability of uncertain neural networks. Finally, two numerical examples are given to demonstrate the effectiveness of results obtained in this paper.     

Stability of equilibrium solutions of Hamiltonian systems with n-degrees of freedom and single resonance in the critical case

In this paper we give new results for the stability of one equilibrium solution of an autonomous analytic Hamiltonian system in a neighborhood of the equilibrium point with n-degrees of freedom. Our Main Theorem generalizes several results existing in the literature and mainly we give information in the critical cases (i.e., the condition of stability and instability is not fulfilled). In particular, our Main Theorem provides necessary and sufficient conditions for stability of the equilibrium solutions under the existence of a single resonance. Using analogous tools used in the Main Theorem for the critical case, we study the stability or instability of degenerate equilibrium points in Hamiltonian systems with one degree of freedom. We apply our results to the stability of Hamiltonians of the type of cosmological models as in planar as in the spatial case.     

Almost periodicity for a class of delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous activations

The objective of this paper is to investigate the dynamics of a class of delayed Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous neuron activations. By means of retarded differential inclusions, we obtain a result on the local existence of solutions, which improves the previous related results for delayed neural networks. It is shown that an M-matrix condition satisfied by the neuron interconnections, can guarantee not only the existence and uniqueness of an almost periodic solution, but also its global exponential stability. It is also shown that the M-matrix condition ensures that all solutions of the system display a common asymptotic behavior. In this paper, we prove that the existence interval of the almost periodic solution is (?∞, +∞), whereas the existence interval is only proved to be [0, +∞) in most of the literature. As special cases, we derive the results of existence, uniqueness and global exponential stability of a periodic solution for delayed neural networks with periodic coefficients, as well as the similar results of an equilibrium for the systems with constant coefficients. To the author’s knowledge, the results in this paper are the only available results on almost periodicity for Cohen–Grossberg neural networks with discontinuous activations and delays.     

Two-group SIR epidemic model with stochastic perturbation

A stochastic two-group SIR model is presented in this paper.The existence and uniqueness of its nonnegative solution is obtained,and the solution belongs to a positively invariant set.Furthermore,the globally asymptotical stability of the disease-free equilibrium is deduced by the stochastic Lyapunov functional method if R0 ≤ 1,which means the disease will die out.While if R0 1,we show that the solution is fluctuating around a point which is the endemic equilibrium of the deterministic model in time average.In addition,the intensity of the fluctuation is proportional to the intensity of the white noise.When the white noise is small,we consider the disease will prevail.At last,we illustrate the dynamic behavior of the model and their approximations via a range of numerical experiments.     

On a class of rational p-adic dynamical systems

In this paper we investigate the behavior of trajectories of one class of rational p-adic dynamical systems in complex p-adic field Cp. We studied Siegel disks and attractors of such dynamical systems. We found the basin of the attractor of the system. It is proved that such dynamical systems are not ergodic on a unit sphere with respect to the Haar measure.     

Existence of periodic orbits and chaos in a class of three-dimensional piecewise linear systems with two virtual stable node-foci

In this paper, we consider a new class of piecewise linear (PWL) systems with two virtual stable node-foci (the meaning of “virtual” is from Bernardo et al. (2008)) which exhibits periodic orbits and chaos. This fact that PWL systems have no unstable equilibria but has chaos will unavoidably make the exploration of this chaos more complicated. Particular values for bifurcation diagram are provided. Based on mathematical analysis and Poincaré map, periodic orbits of this kind of system without unstable equilibrium points are derived, the corresponding existence theorems are given, and the obtained results are applied to specific examples.     

Harvesting of a prey–predator fishery in the presence of toxicity

In this model we discuss the bioeconomic harvesting of a prey–predator fishery in which both the species are infected by some toxicants released by some other species. Here both the species are harvested where we use the usual catch-per-unit-effort hypothesis. The dynamical behaviour of the exploited system is examined. The possibility of existence of a bionomic equilibrium is considered. The optimal harvesting policy is studied by using Pontryagin’s maximal principle. Some numerical examples and the corresponding solution curves are studied to illustrate the results of the model. Finally, the existence of limit cycle is discussed.     

Dynamical systems for solving variational inclusion and fixed point problems on Hadamard manifolds

In this paper, we investigate a new class of dynamical systems for solving variational inclusion and fixed point problems on Hadamard manifolds. Then we prove that the dynamical system has a unique solution under some suitable assumptions. Moreover, the global exponential stability and invariance property of the dynamical systems are also established. Our main results in this work are new and extend the existing ones in the literature.     

Stationary Solutions of Fokker-Planck Equations with Nonlinear Reaction Terms in Bounded Domains

Using an operator approach, we discuss stationary solutions to Fokker-Planck equations and systems with nonlinear reaction terms. The existence of solutions is obtained by using Banach, Schauder and Schaefer fixed point theorems, and for systems by means of Perov’s fixed point theorem. Using the Ekeland variational principle, it is proved that the unique solution of the problem minimizes the energy functional, and in case of a system that it is the Nash equilibrium of the energy functionals associated to the component equations.

     

The criteria of ultimate boundedness for nonautonomous Lotka-Volterra tree systems

In this paper, by introducing a concept called the degree of species, we obtain a set of sufficient conditions for the ultimate boundedness of nonautonomous n-species Lotka-Volterra tree systems. As a consequence, we also obtain the criteria of the existence of a globally stable equilibrium point for the autonomous Lotka-Volterra tree system. The criteria in this paper are in explicit forms of the parameters, and thus, are easily verifiable.
