Solutions of the generalized Lennard-Jones system

In this paper, we study solution structures of the following generalized Lennard-Jones system in R~n,x=(-α/|x|~(α+2)+β/|x|~(β+2))x,with 0 α β. Considering periodic solutions with zero angular momentum, we prove that the corresponding problem degenerates to 1-dimensional and possesses infinitely many periodic solutions which must be oscillating line solutions or constant solutions. Considering solutions with non-zero angular momentum, we compute Morse indices of the circular solutions first, and then apply the mountain pass theorem to show the existence of non-circular solutions with non-zero topological degrees. We further prove that besides circular solutions the system possesses in fact countably many periodic solutions with arbitrarily large topological degree, infinitely many quasi-periodic solutions, and infinitely many asymptotic solutions.     

Recurrent solutions of the linearly coupled complex cubic‐quintic Ginzburg‐Landau equations

In this paper, we will establish the bounded solutions, periodic solutions, quasiperiodic solutions, almost periodic solutions, and almost automorphic solutions for linearly coupled complex cubic‐quintic Ginzburg‐Landau equations, under suitable conditions. The main difficulty is the nonlinear terms in the equations that are not Lipschitz‐continuity, traditional methods cannot deal with the difficulty in our problem. We overcome this difficulty by the Galerkin approach, energy estimate method, and refined inequality technique.     

On front solutions of the saturation equation of two-phase flow in porous media

We investigate the existence of “front” solutions of the saturation equation of two-phase flow in porous media. By front solution we mean a monotonic solution connecting two different saturations. The Brooks–Corey and the van Genuchten models are used to describe the relative-permeability – and capillary pressure–saturation relationships. We show that two classes of front solutions exist: self-similar front solutions and travelling-wave front solutions. Self-similar front solutions exist only for horizontal displacements of fluids (without gravity). However, travelling-wave front solutions exist for both horizontal and vertical (including gravity) displacements. The stability of front solutions is confirmed numerically.     

Multiple soliton solutions and other exact solutions for a two‐mode KdV equation

In this work, we study the two‐mode Korteweg–de Vries (TKdV) equation, which describes the propagation of two different waves modes simultaneously. We show that the TKdV equation gives multiple soliton solutions for specific values of the nonlinearity and dispersion parameters involved in the equation. We also derive other distinct exact solutions for general values of these parameters. We apply the simplified Hirota's method to study the specific of the parameters, which gives multiple soliton solutions. We also use the tanh/coth method and the tan/cot method to obtain other set of solutions with distinct physical structures. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Generalized Maximin Solutions in Multicriteria Bargaining

In this paper we address bargaining games where the agents have to take into account different criteria to value the decisions. We propose the class of generalized maximin solutions, as the natural extension for these games of the maximin solutions in conventional bargaining. In order to refine this solution concept, we define a multicriteria lexicographic partial ordering and present the class of generalized leximin solutions as those that are nondominated with respect to this relation. We establish some properties of these solutions and characterize them as solutions of multicriteria problems.

Blow-up and global solutions for nonlinear reaction-diffusion equations with nonlinear boundary condition

This paper deals with the blow-up of positive solutions for a nonlinear reaction-diffusion equation subject to nonlinear boundary conditions. We obtain the conditions under which the solutions may exist globally or blow up in finite time. Moreover, an upper bound of the blow-up time, an upper estimate of the blow-up rate, and an upper estimate of the global solutions are given. At last we give two examples to which the theorems obtained in the paper may be applied.

This paper studies the problem of uniformly dissipative solutions of somefifth order non-linear differential equations by the use of frequency domaintechnique. We use the generalized theorem of Yacubovich on dissipativity toobtain some new sufficient conditions of the existence of solutions that aredissipative for (1.1) and (1.2).     

PERIODIC CHARACTER OF A DIFFERENCE EQUATION WITH MAXIMUM

New concentration phenomena for a class of radial fully nonlinear equations

We study radial sign-changing solutions of a class of fully nonlinear elliptic Dirichlet problems in a ball, driven by the extremal Pucci's operators and with a power nonlinear term. We first determine a new critical exponent related to the existence or nonexistence of such solutions. Then we analyze the asymptotic behavior of the radial nodal solutions as the exponents approach the critical values, showing that new concentration phenomena occur. Finally we define a suitable weighted energy for these solutions and compute its limit value.     

Exact and traveling-wave solutions for convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power-law nonlinearity

Based on the simplest equation method, we propose exact and traveling-wave solutions for a nonlinear convection-diffusion-reaction equation with power law nonlinearity. Such equation can be considered as a generalization of the Fisher equation and other well-known convection-diffusion-reaction equations. Two important cases are considered. The case of density-independent diffusion and the case of density-dependent diffusion. When the parameters of the equation are constant, the Bernoulli equation is used as the simplest equation. This leads to new traveling-wave solutions. Moreover, some wavefront solutions can be derived from the traveling-wave ones. The case of time-dependent velocity in the convection term is studied also. We derive exact solutions of the equations by using the Riccati equation as simplest equation. The exact and traveling-wave solutions presented in this paper can be used to explain many biological and physical phenomena.

Periodic solutions of abstract functional differential equations with state‐dependent delay

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of solutions of systems determined by abstract functional differential equations with infinite and state‐dependent delay. We establish the existence of mild solutions and the existence of periodic solutions. Our results are based on local Lipschitz conditions of the involved functions. We apply our results to study the existence of periodic solutions of a partial differential equation with infinite and state‐dependent delay. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Inequality averse multi-utilitarian bargaining solutions

This paper introduces and analyzes the class of inequality averse multi-utilitarian solutions for cooperative bargaining problems. We show that generalized Gini solutions and inequality averse Choquet solutions are particular cases of this new multi-valued solution concept and provide a complete characterization in which an invariance property, consisting of a weakening of both the linear invariance axiom in Blackorby et al. (Econometrica 62:1161–1178, 1994) and the restricted invariance axiom in Ok and Zhou (Games Econ Behav 33:249–264, 2000), plays an important role. Moreover, by relaxing the assumptions involved in the characterization, the class is extended to include inequality loving multi-utilitarian solutions which are also studied in the paper.     

Boundedness of global solutions of a supercritical parabolic equation

We study radially symmetric classical solutions of the Dirichlet problem for a heat equation with a supercritical nonlinear source. We give a sufficient condition under which blow-up in infinite time cannot occur. This condition involves only the growth rate of the source term at infinity. We do not need the homogeneity property which played a key role in previous proofs of similar results. We also establish the blow-up rate for a class of solutions which blow up in finite time.     

A study on a two‐wave mode Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation: conditions for multiple soliton solutions to exist

We establish a two‐wave mode equation for the integrable Kadomtsev–Petviashvili equation, which describes the propagation of two different wave modes in the same direction simultaneously. We determine the necessary conditions that make multiple soliton solutions exist for this new equation. The simplified Hirota's method will be used to conduct this work. We also use other techniques to obtain other set of periodic and singular solutions for the two‐mode Kadomtsev‐Petviashvili equation. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Weakly and properly nonessential objectives in multiobjective optimization problems

In this work we characterize objective functions which do not change the set of efficient solutions (weakly efficient solutions, properly efficient solutions). Necessary and sufficient conditions for an objective function to be weakly nonessential (properly nonessential) are presented. We establish relations between weakly nonessential, properly nonessential and nonessential functions.
