Nonradial Solutions of a Mixed Concave-Convex Elliptic Problem

We study the homogeneous Dirichlet problem in a ball for semi-linear elliptic problems derived from the Brezis-Nirenberg one with concave-convex nonlinearities. We are interested in determining non-radial solutions which are invariant with respect to some subgroup of the orthogonal group. We prove that unlike separated nonlinearities, there are two types of solutions, one converging to zero and one diverging. We conclude at the end on the classification of non radial solutions related to the nonlinearity used.     

MULTIPLE SOLUTIONS AND THEIR LIMITING BEHAVIOR OF COUPLED NONLINEAR SCHRDINGER SYSTEMS

We study the multiplicity of positive solutions and their limiting behavior as ε tends to zero for a class of coupled nonlinear Schrdinger system in RN . We relate the number of positive solutions to the topology of the set of minimum points of the least energy function for ε suffciently small. Also, we verify that these solutions concentrate at a global minimum point of the least energy function.     

EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO SEMILINEAR ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS IN IRN WITH ZERO MASS

In this paper, we prove the existence of at least one positive solution pairto the following semilinear elliptic systemby using a linking theorem, where K（x）is a positive function in L^s（R^N） for some s 〉 1and the nonnegative functions f, g ∈ C（R, R） are of quasicritical growth, superlinear atinfinity. We do not assume that f or g satisfies the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition as usual. Our main result can be viewed as a partial extension of a recent result of Alves, Souto and Montenegro in [1] concerning the existence of a positive solution to the following semilinear elliptic problemand a recent result of Li and Wang in [22] concerning the existence of nontrivial solutions to a semilinear elliptic system of Hamiltonian type in R^N.

APPROXIMATION OF FIXED POINTS AND VARIATIONAL SOLUTIONS FOR PSEUDO-CONTRACTIVE MAPPINGS IN BANACH SPACES

Let K be a nonempty, closed and convex subset of a real reflexive Banach space E which has a uniformly Gteaux differentiable norm. Assume that every nonempty closed convex and bounded subset of K has the fixed point property for nonexpansive mappings. Strong convergence theorems for approximation of a fixed point of Lipschitz pseudo-contractive mappings which is also a unique solution to variational inequality problem involving φ-strongly pseudo-contractive mappings are proved. The results presented in this article can be applied to the study of fixed points of nonexpansive mappings, variational inequality problems, convex optimization problems, and split feasibility problems. Our result extends many recent important results.     

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR WEAKLY COUPLED NONLINEAR ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS

In this article,we consider the existence of positive solutions for weakly cou-pled nonlinear elliptic systems {-△u+u (1+a(x))|u| p-1 u+μ|u| α-2 u|v|β+λv in R~N,-△v+v=(1+bx))|v|p-1v+μ|u|α|v|β-2v+λu in R N.(0.1) To find nontrivial solutions,we first investigate autonomous systems.In this case,results of bifurcation from semi-trivial solutions are obtained by the implicit function theorem.Next,the existence of positive solutions of problem(0.1) is obtained by variational methods.     

EXISTENCE OF ENTROPY SOLUTIONS TO TWO-DIMENSIONAL STEADY EXOTHERMICALLY REACTING EULER EQUATIONS

We are concerned with the global existence of entropy solutions of the twodimensional steady Euler equations for an ideal gas, which undergoes a one-step exothermic chemical reaction under the Arrhenius-type kinetics. The reaction rate function φ(T) is assumed to have a positive lower bound. We first consider the Cauchy problem(the initial value problem), that is, seek a supersonic downstream reacting flow when the incoming flow is supersonic, and establish the global existence of entropy solutions when the total variation of the initial data is suffciently small. Then we analyze the problem of steady supersonic, exothermically reacting Euler flow past a Lipschitz wedge, generating an additional detonation wave attached to the wedge vertex, which can be then formulated as an initial-boundary value problem. We establish the global existence of entropy solutions containing the additional detonation wave(weak or strong, determined by the wedge angle at the wedge vertex) when the total variation of both the slope of the wedge boundary and the incoming flow is suitably small. The downstream asymptotic behavior of the global solutions is also obtained.     

The existence of nontrivial solutions to a semilinear elliptic system on without the ambrosetti-rabinowitz condition

In this paper, we prove the existence of at least one positive solution pair （u, v）∈ H1（RN） × H1（RN） to the following semilinear elliptic system {-△u＋u=f（x,v）,x∈RN,-△u＋u=g（x,v）,x∈RN （0.1）,by using a linking theorem and the concentration-compactness principle. The main conditions we imposed on the nonnegative functions f, g ∈C0（RN× R1） are that, f（x, t） and g（x, t） are superlinear at t = 0 as well as at t =＋∞, that f and g are subcritical in t and satisfy a kind of monotonic conditions. We mention that we do not assume that f or g satisfies the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition as usual. Our main result can be viewed as an extension to a recent result of Miyagaki and Souto [J. Diff. Equ. 245（2008）, 3628-3638] concerning the existence of a positive solution to the semilinear elliptic boundary value problem {-△u＋u=f（x,u）,x∈Ω,u∈H0^1（Ω） where Ω ∩→RN is bounded and a result of Li and Yang [G. Li and J. Yang： Communications in P.D.E. Vol. 29（2004） Nos.5＆ 6.pp.925-954, 2004] concerning （0.1） when f and g are asymptotically linear.     

THE NAVIER-STOKES EQUATIONS WITH THE KINEMATIC AND VORTICITY BOUNDARY CONDITIONS ON NON-FLAT BOUNDARIES

We study the initial-boundary value problem of the Navier-Stokes equations for incompressible fluids in a general domain in R^n with compact and smooth boundary, subject to the kinematic and vorticity boundary conditions on the non-flat boundary. We observe that, under the nonhomogeneous boundary conditions, the pressure p can be still recovered by solving the Neumann problem for the Poisson equation. Then we establish the well-posedness of the unsteady Stokes equations and employ the solution to reduce our initial-boundary value problem into an initial-boundary value problem with absolute boundary conditions. Based on this, we first establish the well-posedness for an appropriate local linearized problem with the absolute boundary conditions and the initial condition （without the incompressibility condition）, which establishes a velocity mapping. Then we develop apriori estimates for the velocity mapping, especially involving the Sobolev norm for the time-derivative of the mapping to deal with the complicated boundary conditions, which leads to the existence of the fixed point of the mapping and the existence of solutions to our initial-boundary value problem. Finally, we establish that, when the viscosity coefficient tends zero, the strong solutions of the initial-boundary value problem in R^n（n ≥ 3） with nonhomogeneous vorticity boundary condition converge in L^2 to the corresponding Euler equations satisfying the kinematic condition.     

OPTIMAL INTERIOR PARTIAL REGULARITY FOR NONLINEAR ELLIPTIC SYSTEMS WITH DINI CONTINUOUS COEFFICIENTS

In this article,we consider nonlinear elliptic systems of divergence type with Dini continuous coefficients.The authors use a new method introduced by Duzaar and Grotowski,to prove partial regularity for weak solutions,based on a generalization of the technique of harmonic approximation and directly establish the optimal Ho¨lder exponent for the derivative of a weak solution on its regular set.     

WELL-POSEDNESS OF A COMPRESSIBLE GAS-LIQUID MODEL FOR DEEPWATER OIL WELL OPERATIONS

The main purpose of this paper is two-fold:(i) to generalize an existence result for a compressible gas-liquid model with a friction term recently published by Friis and Evje [SIAM J. Appl. Math., 71(2011), pp. 2014–2047];(ii) to derive a uniqueness result for the same model. A main ingredient in the existence part is the observation that we can consider weaker assumptions on the initial liquid and gas mass, and still obtain an existence result. Compared to the above mentioned work, we rely on a more refined application of the estimates provided by the basic energy estimate. Concerning the uniqueness result, we borrow ideas from Fang and Zhang [Nonlinear Anal. TMA, 58(2004), pp. 719–731] and derive a stability result under appropriate constraints on parameters that determine rate of decay toward zero at the boundary for gas and liquid masses, and growth rate of masses associated with the friction term and viscous coefficient.     

HOLDER ESTIMATES FOR A CLASS OF DEGENERATE ELLIPTIC EQUATIONS

In this paper we study the regularity theory of the solutions of a class of degenerate elliptic equations in divergence form. By introducing a proper distance and applying the compactness method we establish the HSlder type estimates for the weak solutions.     

ON THE BASIC REPRODUCTION NUMBER OF GENERAL BRANCHING PROCESSES

Under a very general condition （TNC condition） we show that the spectral radius of the kernel of a general branching process is a threshold parameter and hence plays a role as the basic reproduction number in usual CMJ processes. We discuss also some properties of the extinction probability and the generating operator of general branching processes. As an application in epidemics, in the final section we suggest a generalization of SIR model which can describe infectious diseases transmission in an inhomogeneous population.     

STABILIZATION OF MARKOVIAN JUMP LINEAR SYSTEMS VIA RANDOM COMMUNICATION TIME DELAYED AND IMPULSIVE CONTROLLERS

This paper deals with the stabilization problems for a networked control system via time-delayed and impulsive controllers. The random communication delays in the model signal are modeled as a Markov chain. First, we introduce a hybrid controller with delay and impulses for the networked control systems. Then, some sufficient conditions are proposed for the design of a hybrid controller such that the closed-loop system is stochastically stable.     

A CLASS OF MULTIWAVELETS AND PROJECTED FRAMES FROM TWO-DIRECTION WAVELETS

This article aims at studying two-direction refinable functions and two-direction wavelets in the setting Rs, s 1. We give a sufficient condition for a two-direction refinable function belonging to L2(Rs). Then, two theorems are given for constructing biorthogonal(orthogonal) two-direction refinable functions in L2(Rs) and their biorthogonal(orthogonal) two-direction wavelets, respectively. From the constructed biorthogonal(orthogonal)two-direction wavelets, symmetric biorthogonal(orthogonal) multiwaveles in L2(Rs) can be obtained easily. Applying the projection method to biorthogonal(orthogonal) two-direction wavelets in L2(Rs), we can get dual(tight) two-direction wavelet frames in L2(Rm), where m ≤ s. From the projected dual(tight) two-direction wavelet frames in L2(Rm), symmetric dual(tight) frames in L2(Rm) can be obtained easily. In the end, an example is given to illustrate theoretical results.

ON THE ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF HOLOMORPHIC ISOMETRIES OF THE POINCARE DISK INTO BOUNDED SYMMETRIC DOMAINS

In this article we bounded symmetric domains study holomorphic isometries of the Poincare disk into Earlier we solved the problem of analytic continuation of germs of holomorphic maps between bounded domains which are isometrics up to normalizing constants with respect to the Bergman metric, showing in particular that the graph 170 of any germ of holomorphic isometry of the Poincar6 disk A into an irreducible bounded symmetric domain Ω belong to C^N in its Harish-Chandra realization must extend to an affinealgebraic subvariety V belong to C × C^N = C^N＋1, and that the irreducible component of V ∩ （△ × Ω） containing V0 is the graph of a proper holomorphic isometric embedding F ： A→ Ω. In this article we study holomorphie isometric embeddings which are asymptotically geodesic at a general boundary point b ∈ δ△. Starting with the structural equation for holomorphic isometrics arising from the Gauss equation, we obtain by covariant differentiation an identity relating certain holomorphic bisectional curvatures to the boundary behavior of the second fundamental form σ of the holomorphie isometric embedding. Using the nonpositivity of holomorphic bisectional curvatures on a bounded symmetric domain, we prove that ‖σ‖ must vanish at a general boundary point either to the order 1 or to the order 1/2, called a holomorphie isometry of the first resp. second kind. We deal with special cases of non-standard holomorphic isometric embeddings of such maps, showing that they must be asymptotically totally geodesic at a general boundary point and in fact of the first kind whenever the target domain is a Cartesian product of complex unit balls. We also study the boundary behavior of an example of holomorphic isometric embedding from the Poincare disk into a Siegel upper half-plane by an explicit determination of the boundary behavior of holomorphic sectional curvatures in the directions tangent to the embedded Poincare disk, showing that the map is indeed asymptotically totally geodesic at a general boundary point and of the first kind. For the metric computation we make use of formulas for symplectic geometry on Siegel upper half-planes.     

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR PARAMETRIC EQUIDIFFUSIVE p-LAPLACIAN EQUATIONS

We consider a parametric Dirichlet problem driven by the p-Laplacian with a Carath′eodory reaction of equidiffusive type. Our hypotheses incorporate as a special case the equidiffusive p-logistic equation. We show that if λ1 0 is the principal eigenvalue of the Dirichlet negative p-Laplacian and λ λ1(λ being the parameter), the problem has a unique positive solution, while for λ∈(0,λ1], the problem has no positive solution.     

一类六角系统图的特征多项式及应用

Let Ln be the hexagonal chain graph,Fnbe the hexacyclic system graph and Mn be the M¨obius hexacyclic system graph. Derflinger and Sofer gave the spectra of Ln and Fn by using group theoretical method. Later, Gutman gave the spectra of them using a polynomial result due to Godsil and McKay. In this paper, we give a simple and direct method to determine the characteristic polynomial and spectra of Fn and Ln. By the method, we give the characteristic polynomial and spectrum of Mn that is new. Additionally, the exact values of total π-electron energy and the nullities of Ln, Fn and Mn are obtained, and the bounds for the energy of Ln and Mn are also considered.
