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.

Solvability of a periodic boundary-value problem for systems of functional differential equations with cyclic matrices

We consider first-order systems of linear functional differential equations with regular operators. For families of systems of two equations we obtain the general necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of a periodic boundary-value problem. For families of systems of n linear functional differential equations with cyclic matrices we obtain effective necessary and sufficient conditions for the unique solvability of a periodic boundary-value problem.     

Differential equations with limit-periodic forcings

The present paper is concerned with scalar differential equations of first order which are limit periodic in the independent variable. Some tools provided by the theories of exponential dichotomies and periodic differential equations are applied to prove that, in a generic sense, the existence of a bounded solution implies the existence of a limit periodic solution.

     

Game-theoretic coupled riccati equations associated to controlled linear differential systems with jump markov perturbations

In this paper we investigate several properties of the stabilizing solution of a class of systems of Riccati type differential equations with indefinite sign associated to controlled systems described by differential equations with Markovian jumping.

We show that the existence of a bounded on R ₊ and stabilizing solution for this class of systems of Riccati type differential equations is equivalent to the solvability of a control-theoretic problem, namely disturbance attenuation problem.

If the coefficients of the considered system are theta;-periodic functions then the stabilizing solution is also theta;-periodic and if the coefficients are asymptotic almost periodic functions, then the stabilizing solution is also asymptotic almost periodic and its almost periodic component is a stabilizing solution for a system of Riccati type differential equations defined on the whole real axis. One proves also that the existence of a stabilizing and bounded on R ₊ solution of a system of Riccati differential equations with indefinite sign is equivalent to the existence of a solution to a corresponding system of matrix inequalities. Finally, a minimality property of the stabilizing solution is derived.     

Numbers of subnormal solutions for higher order periodic differential equations

In this paper, we estimate the number of subnormal solutions for higher order linear periodic differential equations, and estimate the growth of subnormal solutions and all other solutions. We also give a representation of subnormal solutions of a class of higher order linear periodic differential equations.     

A monotone iterative scheme for a nonlinear second order equation based on a generalized anti–maximum principle

In this paper, a generalized anti–maximum principle for the second order differential operator with potentials is proved. As an application, we will give a monotone iterative scheme for periodic solutions of nonlinear second order equations. Such a scheme involves the L^p norms of the growth, 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, while the usual one is just the case p = ∞.

P-stable methods for periodic initial value problems of second order differential equations

A class ofP-stable finite difference methods is discussed for solving initial value problems of second order differential equations which have periodic solutions. The methods depend upon a parameterp>0, and reduce to the classical Störmer-Cowell methods forp=0. It is shown that whenp is chosen for linear problems as the square of the frequency of the periodic solution, the methods areP-stable and for some suitable choice ofp, they have extended finite interval of periodicity.     

Almost periodic solutions for undamped nonhomogeneous delay-differential equations

We first establish a result giving conditions that certain undamped delay differential equations with almost periodic time dependence have unique almost periodic solutions. Using this result we obtain conditions that a second order scalar nonlinear delay differential equation with almost periodic forcing will have a unique almost periodic solution having saddle-type stability properties. These results use the method of averaging.

     

Almost Periodic Solutions of Nonlinear Second Order Differential Equations

We provide existence results for almost periodic solutions of nonlinear second order ordinary differential equations. The results extend existence results for periodic solutions of periodic equations, where the existence of periodic sub and supersolutions implied the existence of periodic solutions.     

Stationary backward stochastic differential equations and associated partial differential equations

By replacing the final condition for backward stochastic differential equations (in short: BSDEs) by a stationarity condition on the solution process we introduce a new class of BSDEs. In a natural manner we associate to such BSDEs the periodic solution of second order partial differential equations with periodic structure.

Certain differential equations have only isolated periodic orbits

Summary Some results of Poincaré and Dulac concerning non-isolated periodic orbits and singular cycles in the plane are here extended to certain classes of autonomous analytic ordinary differential equations of higher dimension. The equations in these classes are then shown to have only isolated periodic orbits provided that all their critical points satisfy a simple condition. A further condition at infinity can ensure that the equation has only finitely many periodic orbits.

On the evolution equation for magnetic geodesics

Orbits of charged particles under the effect of a magnetic field are mathematically described by magnetic geodesics. They appear as solutions to a system of (nonlinear) ordinary differential equations of second order. But we are only interested in periodic solutions. To this end, we study the corresponding system of (nonlinear) parabolic equations for closed magnetic geodesics and, as a main result, eventually prove the existence of long time solutions. As generalization one can consider a system of elliptic nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) whose solutions describe the orbits of closed p-branes under the effect of a “generalized physical force”. For the corresponding evolution equation, which is a system of parabolic nonlinear PDEs associated to the elliptic PDE, we can establish existence of short time solutions.     

Periodic and boundary value problems for second order differential equations

In this paper we study second order scalar differential equations with Sturm-Liouville and periodic boundary conditions. The vector fieldf(t,x,y) is Caratheodory and in some instances the continuity condition onx ory is replaced by a monotonicity type hypothesis. Using the method of upper and lower solutions as well as truncation and penalization techniques, we show the existence of solutions and extremal solutions in the order interval determined by the upper and lower solutions. Also we establish some properties of the solutions and of the set they form.     

The numbers of periodic solutions of the polynomial differential equation

This article deals with the number of periodic solutions of the second order polynomial differential equation using the Riccati equation, and applies the property of the solutions of the Riccati equation to study the property of the solutions of the more complicated differential equations. Many valuable criterions are obtained to determine the number of the periodic solutions of these complex differential equations.     

Variational approach to impulsive differential equations with periodic boundary conditions

In this paper, we obtain some new existence results of solutions of impulsive differential equations with periodic boundary conditions. The main tool that we use is critical point theory. Our results generalize some existing results on periodic solutions for second order ordinary differential equations even when the impulses are absent.

The existence of periodic solutions for nonlinear beam equations on by a para‐differential method

This paper focuses on the construction of periodic solutions of nonlinear beam equations on the d‐dimensional tori. For a large set of frequencies, we demonstrate that an equivalent form of the nonlinear equations can be obtained by a para‐differential conjugation. Given the nonresonant conditions on each finite dimensional subspaces, it is shown that the periodic solutions can be constructed for the block diagonal equation by a classical iteration scheme.
