On the Existence of Periodic Solutions for a Nonlinear System of Ordinary Differential Equations

Abstract This paper is concerned with the existence of periodic solutions for a nonlinear system of ordinary differential equations. We obtain a Nagumo-type a priori bound for the periodic solutions and then by using this a priori bound we prove the existence of at least one T-periodic solution under some general conditions Research supported by the NNSF of China and the RFDP of China.     

Periodic and almost periodic solutions of conservation laws: Global existence and decay

In this paper we survey recent results on the decay of periodic and almost periodic solutions of conservation laws. We also recall some recent results on the global existence of periodic solutions of conservation laws systems which lie inBV _loc and are constructed through Glimm scheme. The latter motivates a discussion on a possible strategy for solving the open problem of the global existence of periodic solutions of the Euler equations for nonisentropic gas dynamics. We base our decay analysis on a general result about space-time functions which are almost periodic in the space variable, established here for the first time. This result is an abstract version of Theorem 2.1 in [31], which in turn is an extention of the combined result given by Theorems 3.1–3.2 in [9].     

(ω,c)-asymptotically periodic functions,first-order Cauchy problem,and Lasota-Wazewska model with unbounded oscillating production of red cells

In this paper, we study a new class of functions, which we call (ω,c)-asymptotically periodic functions. This collection includes asymptotically periodic, asymptotically antiperiodic, asymptotically Bloch-periodic, and unbounded functions. We prove that the set conformed by these functions is a Banach space with a suitable norm. Furthermore, we show several properties of this class of functions as the convolution invariance. We present some examples and a composition result. As an application, we prove the existence and uniqueness of (ω,c)-asymptotically periodic mild solutions to the first-order abstract Cauchy problem on the real line. Also, we establish some sufficient conditions for the existence of positive (ω,c)-asymptotically periodic solutions to the Lasota-Wazewska equation with unbounded oscillating production of red cells.     

The existence of periodic solutions of higher order nonlinear periodic difference equations

Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one periodic solution of two classes of nonlinear higher order periodic difference equations are established, respectively. The results show us that sufficient conditions for the existence of T ? periodic solutions of difference equation are different from those ones for the existence of T ? periodic solutions of differential equation.

Periodic solutions of second order nonlinear difference equations with discrete -Laplacian

We use Brouwer degree to prove existence and multiplicity results for the periodic solutions of some nonlinear second order difference equations involving discrete -Laplacian. We obtain in particular upper and lower solutions theorems, Ambrosetti–Prodi type multiplicity results, sharp existence conditions for nonlinearities which are bounded from below or from above and necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of positive periodic solutions when the nonlinearity is singular at 0.

Applying the maximal monotone mappings theory, we prove an existence result for weak periodic solutions.

Existence of almost periodic solutions to some stochastic differential equations

Existence of μ−pseudo almost periodic solutions to some evolution equations

In this article, a new approach for pseudo almost periodic solution under the measure theory, under Acquistpace‐Terreni conditions. We make extensive use of interpolation spaces and exponential dichotomy techniques to obtain the existence of μ‐pseudo almost periodic solutions to some classes of nonautonomous partial evolution equations. For illustration, we propose some application to a nonautonomous heat equation. Copyright © 2017 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Multiple periodic solutions for a class of nonlinear nonautonomous wave equations

In this paper, by means of ourZ _p index theory developed recently we study the existence of multiple periodic solutions for asymptotically linear nonautonomous wave equations. All previous known results rely either on the oddness of nonlinear terms, or on autonomous systems, and the best result for the general case is the existence of two nontrivial periodic solutions (Amann, Zehnder, K. C. Chang, S. P. Wu, S. J. Li, Z. Q. Wang). In this paper, under the assumption that the nonlinear term isT/p periodic we discuss multiple periodic solutions of nonautonomous systems and generalize a series of previous results.This research was supported in part by the National Postdoctoral Science Fund.     

Measure Pseudo Almost Periodic Solutions of Shunting Inhibitory Cellular Neural Networks with Mixed Delays

In this work, we consider a class of neutral shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with mixed delays. We study the existence, uniqueness, and the exponential stability of the measure pseudo almost periodic (or μ-pseudo almost periodic) solutions from some models for shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks with mixed delays. An example is provided to illustrate the theory developed in this work.     

A note on some piecewise-linear difference equations with Mersenne-type periodic solutions

This paper studies solutions of some piecewise-linear difference equations. In two particular cases, a descent argument is used to show that all solutions are periodic with either prime period 3(2 ^k  ? 1) or 6(2 ^k  ? 1) for some k ≥ 1. The existence of solutions with such periods is also considered.     

New results of periodic solutions for a kind of Duffing type p-Laplacian equation

C n -almost automorphic solutions for partial neutral functional differential equations

In this work, we study the existence of C ⁿ -almost periodic solutions and C ⁿ -almost automorphic solutions (n?≥?1), for partial neutral functional differential equations. We prove that the existence of a bounded integral solution on ?⁺ implies the existence of C ⁿ -almost periodic and C ⁿ -almost automorphic strict solutions. When the exponential dichotomy holds for the homogeneous linear equation, we show the uniqueness of C ⁿ -almost periodic and C ⁿ -almost automorphic strict solutions.

Existence of homoclinic solutions for higher-order periodic difference equations with p-Laplacian

Using the critical point theory in combination with periodic approximations, we establish sufficient conditions on the existence of homoclinic solutions for higher-order periodic difference equations with p-Laplacian. Our results provide rather weaker conditions to guarantee the existence of homoclinic solutions and considerably improve some existing ones even for some special cases.     

Existence and Attractivity of <Emphasis Type="Italic">k</Emphasis>-Pseudo Almost Automorphic Sequence Solution of a Model of Bidirectional Neural Networks

In this paper we discuss the existence and global attractivity of k-pseudo almost automorphic sequence solution of a model of bidirectional cellular neural networks. We consider the corresponding difference equation analogue of the model system using suitable discretization method and obtain certain conditions for the existence of solution. The k-pseudo almost automorphic sequence solutions generalize the results of pseudo almost periodic, almost periodic and almost automorphic sequences solutions. Moreover the results proved in this paper are new and compliment the existing one.

Almost automorphic solutions for some partial functional differential equations

In this work, we study the existence of almost automorphic solutions for some partial functional differential equations. We prove that the existence of a bounded solution on R⁺ implies the existence of an almost automorphic solution. Our results extend the classical known theorem by Bohr and Neugebauer on the existence of almost periodic solutions for inhomegeneous linear almost periodic differential equations. We give some applications to hyperbolic equations and Lotka-Volterra type equations used to describe the evolution of a single diffusive animal species.

In this paper we prove the existence of periodic solutions for nonlinear impulsive viable problems monitored by differential inclusions of the type x′(t)∈F(t,x(t))+G(t,x(t)). Our existence theorems extend, in a broad sense, some propositions proved in [10] and improve a result due to Hristova-Bainov in [13].
