On Solutions with Power Asymptotics for Differential Equations with Exponential Nonlinearity

We establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of solutions with power asymptotics for two-term differential equations with exponential nonlinearity.     

Second Order Abstract Neutral Functional Differential Equations

In this paper we are concerned with a class of second order abstract neutral functional differential equations with finite delay in a Banach space. We establish the existence of mild and classical solutions for the nonlinear equation, and we show that the map defined by the mild solutions of the linear equation is a strongly continuous semigroup of bounded linear operators on an appropriate space. We use this semigroup to establish a variation of constants formula to solve the inhomogeneous linear equation.     

Positive Solutions to Singular Second and Third Order Differential Equations for Quantum Fluids

We analyze a quantum trajectory model given by a steady-state hydrodynamic system for quantum fluids with positive constant temperature in bounded domains for arbitrary large data. The momentum equation can be written as a dispersive third-order equation for the particle density where viscous effects are incorporated. The phenomena that admit positivity of the solutions are studied. The cases, one space dimensional dispersive or non-dispersive, viscous or non-viscous, are thoroughly analyzed with respect to positivity and existence or non-existence of solutions, all depending on the constitutive relation for the pressure law. We distinguish between isothermal (linear) and isentropic (power law) pressure functions of the density. It is proved that in the dispersive, non-viscous model, a classical positive solution only exists for “small” (positive) particle current densities, both for the isentropic and isothermal case. Uniqueness is also shown in the isentropic subsonic case, when the pressure law is strictly convex. However, we prove that no weak isentropic solution can exist for “large” current densities. The dispersive, viscous problem admits a classical positive solution for all current densities, both for the isentropic and isothermal case, with an “ultra-diffusion” condition. The proofs are based on a reformulation of the equations as a singular elliptic second-order problem and on a variant of the Stampacchia truncation technique. Some of the results are extended to general third-order equations in any space dimension. Accepted July 1, 2000?Published online February 14, 2001     

Propagation of Singularities¶for Solutions of Nonlinear First Order¶Partial Differential Equations

Few results are available in the mathematical literature for studying the structure of the singular set of a weak solution u of F(x,u,Du)=0. This paper provides new techniques to analyse such a set when u is semiconcave and F is a nonlinear convex function with respect to p. The main objective achieved here is a classification of the singularities of u that propagate along Lipschitz arcs. Such a propagation phenomenon is also described by means of a generalized characteristics inclusion.     

Stability and Boundedness Results for Solutions of Certain Third Order Nonlinear Vector Differential Equations

In this paper, we investigate the asymptotic stability of the zero solution and boundedness of all solutions of a certain third order nonlinear ordinary vector differential equation. The results are proved using Lyapunov’s second (or direct method). Our results include and improve some well known results existing in the literature.     

Wide Oscillation Finite Time Blow Up for Solutions to Nonlinear Fourth Order Differential Equations

We give sufficient conditions for local solutions to some fourth order semilinear ordinary differential equations to blow up in finite time with wide oscillations, a phenomenon not visible for lower order equations. The result is then applied to several classes of semilinear partial differential equations in order to characterize the blow up of solutions including, in particular, its applications to a suspension bridge model. We also give numerical results which describe this oscillating blow up and allow us to suggest several open problems and to formulate some related conjectures.     

On the Asymptotic Behavior of Solutions of a System of Nonlinear Differential Equations

We investigate the asymptotic behavior of a system of nonlinear differential equations of a special form at infinity. We also propose a method for the reduction of more general systems of nonlinear differential equations to this form, which enables one to study their asymptotic properties.     

Convergence of Global and Bounded Solutions of Some Nonautonomous Second Order Evolution Equations with Nonlinear Dissipation

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the following nonautonomous wave equation with nonlinear dissipation.

$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} u_{tt}+\vert u_{t}\vert^{\alpha}u_{t}-\Delta u +f(u)=g(t,x),\quad{\rm in}\,\mathbb{R}_{+}\times\Omega,\\ \qquad\qquad u(t,x)=0,\quad\, {\rm on}\,\mathbb{R}_{+}\times\partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$

where f is an analytic function, α is a small positive real and g(t, ·) tends to 0 sufficiently fast in L ²(Ω) as t tends to ∞.

We also obtain a general convergence result and the rate of decay of solutions for a class of second order ODE containing as a special case

$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \ddot{U}(t)+\Vert\dot{U}(t)\Vert^{\alpha}\dot{U}(t)+\nabla F(U(t))=g(t),\quad t \in \mathbb{R}_+,\\ \qquad U(0)=U_{0}\,\in \mathbb{R}^{N},\quad\dot{U}(0)=U_{1}\in \mathbb{R}^{N}. \end{array}\right.$

Integration of Special Linear Equations of the Second Order

Under certain conditions on the coefficients, the Chazy equation with constant coefficients reduces to a second-order linear differential equation with six singular points. Investigating this equation with the use of the Schwarz derivative, we obtain linear equations in which some of these six singular points coincide. An integration procedure for these equations is considered. Their general solutions are obtained in explicit form.     

On Aspects of Asymptotics for Plate Equations

In this paper some initial-boundary value problems for plate equations will be studied. These initial-boundary value problems can be regarded as simple models describing free oscillations of plates on elastic foundations or of plates to which elastic springs are attached on the boundary. It is assumed that the foundations and springs have a different behavior for compression and for extension. An approximation for the solution of the initial-boundary value problem will be constructed by using a two-timescales perturbation method. For specific parameter values it turns out that complicated internal resonances occur.
