Strong full bounded solutions of nonlinear parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions

We study the existence of (generalized) bounded solutions existing for all times for nonlinear parabolic equations with nonlinear boundary conditions on a domain that is bounded in space and unbounded in time (the entire real line). We give a counterexample which shows that a (weak) maximum principle does not hold in general for linear problems defined on the entire real line in time. We consider a boundedness condition at minus infinity to establish (one-sided) L^∞-a priori estimates for solutions to linear boundary value problems and derive a weak maximum principle which is valid on the entire real line in time. We then take up the case of nonlinear problems with (possibly) nonlinear boundary conditions. By using comparison techniques, some (delicate) a priori estimates obtained herein, and nonlinear approximation methods, we prove the existence and, in some instances, positivity and uniqueness of strong full bounded solutions existing for all times.     

First-order advanced difference equations

We investigate the existence of solutions to nonlinear first-order difference problems with advanced arguments. Sufficient conditions when such problems have solutions (extremal or unique) are given. Linear advanced difference inequalities are also discussed. According to my knowledge, it is a first paper when a monotone iterative method is applied to nonlinear boundary value problems for first-order difference equations with advanced arguments. An example illustrates the theoretical results.     

On the blow-up of solutions of equations of hydrodynamic type under special boundary conditions

We use the nonlinear capacity method to prove the blow-up of solutions of initial-boundary value problems of hydrodynamic type in bounded domains. We present sufficient boundary conditions ensuring the blow-up of the solution of an equation that is globally solvable under the classical boundary conditions. We estimate the blow-up time of solutions under given initial conditions. Note that it is the first result concerning blow-up for one of the problems considered.     

Four-Point Boundary-Value Problems for Differential–Algebraic Systems

We apply the monotone iterative method to nonlinear four-point boundary conditions for differential–algebraic systems with causal operators. Sufficient conditions under which such problems have solutions (extremal or unique) are given. An example illustrates the theoretical results.     

Weakly nonlinear boundary-value problem in a special critical case

We investigate the problem of the determination of conditions for the existence of solutions of weakly nonlinear Noetherian boundary-value problems for systems of ordinary differential equations and the construction of these solutions. We consider the special critical case where the equation for finding the generating solution of a weakly nonlinear Noetherian boundary-value problem turns into an identity. We improve the classification of critical cases and construct an iterative algorithm for finding solutions of weakly nonlinear Noetherian boundary-value problems in the special critical case.     

The Lagrange-Newton method for nonlinear optimal control problems

We investigate local convergence of the Lagrange-Newton method for nonlinear optimal control problems subject to control constraints including the situation where the terminal state is fixed. Sufficient conditions for local quadratic convergence of the method based on stability results for the solutions of nonlinear control problems are discussed.

On a new analytical method for flow between two inclined walls

Efficient analytical methods for solving highly nonlinear boundary value problems are rare in nonlinear mechanics. The purpose of this study is to introduce a new algorithm that leads to exact analytical solutions of nonlinear boundary value problems and performs more efficiently compared to other semi-analytical techniques currently in use. The classical two-dimensional flow problem into or out of a wedge-shaped channel is used as a numerical example for testing the new method. Numerical comparisons with other analytical methods of solution such as the Adomian decomposition method (ADM) and the improved homotopy analysis method (IHAM) are carried out to verify and validate the accuracy of the method. We show further that with a slight modification, the algorithm can, under certain conditions, give better performance with enhanced accuracy and faster convergence.     

On differential inequalities with point singularities on the boundary

We prove the nonexistence of solutions for some nonlinear ordinary differential equations and inequalities, for quasilinear partial differential equations and inequalities in bounded domains with singular points on the boundary, and for systems of such equations and inequalities. The proofs are based on the method of nonlinear capacity. We also give examples demonstrating that the conditions obtained are sharp in the class of problems under consideration.     

A globally convergent semi-smooth Newton method for control-state constrained DAE optimal control problems

We investigate a semi-smooth Newton method for the numerical solution of optimal control problems subject to differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) and mixed control-state constraints. The necessary conditions are stated in terms of a local minimum principle. By use of the Fischer-Burmeister function the local minimum principle is transformed into an equivalent nonlinear and semi-smooth equation in appropriate Banach spaces. This nonlinear and semi-smooth equation is solved by a semi-smooth Newton method. We extend known local and global convergence results for ODE optimal control problems to the DAE optimal control problems under consideration. Special emphasis is laid on the calculation of Newton steps which are given by a linear DAE boundary value problem. Regularity conditions which ensure the existence of solutions are provided. A regularization strategy for inconsistent boundary value problems is suggested. Numerical illustrations for the optimal control of a pendulum and for the optimal control of discretized Navier-Stokes equations conclude the article.

Boundary value problems for difference equations with causal operators

By using the monotone iterative method, some new results are established for nonlinear boundary conditions of difference problems with causal operators. We formulate sufficient conditions under which such problems have extremal solutions. Difference inequalities with causal operators are also discussed. Two examples are added to illustrate the results.     

Difference inequalities generated by impulsive parabolic differential-functional problems

The paper deals with parabolic differential-functional equations. Initial-boundary value problems are considered with impulses given in fixed points. We prove theorems on difference-functional impulsive inequalities generated by original problems.Explicit finite difference schemes are used to approximate the solutions of the original problems. We give sufficient conditions for the convergence of sequences of approximate solutions under the assumptions that the right-hand sides satisfy the nonlinear estimates of the Perron type with respect to the functional argument. In proof of the convergence of difference methods we apply theorems on difference-functional impulsive inequalities.     

Controllability of semilinear boundary problems with nonlocal initial conditions

The main purpose of this paper is the existence of solutions and controllability for semilinear boundary problems with nonlocal initial conditions. We show that the solutions are given by a variation of constants formula which allows us to study the exact controllability for this kind of problems with control and nonlinear terms at the boundary. The included application to a size structured population equation provides a motivation for abstract results.     

Blowup of solutions of a Korteweg-de Vries-type equation

We investigate the nonlinear third-order differential equation (u_xx ? u)_t + u _xxx + uu_x = 0 describing the processes in semiconductors with a strong spatial dispersion. We study the problem of the existence of global solutions and obtain sufficient conditions for the absence of global solutions for some initial boundary value problems corresponding to this equation. We consider examples of solution blowup for initial boundary value and Cauchy problems. We use the Mitidieri-Pokhozhaev nonlinear capacity method.     

Existence of solutions for nonlinear impulsive differential equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions

In this paper, we consider the existence of solutions for a class of nonlinear impulsive problems with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We obtain some new existence theorems of solutions for the nonlinear impulsive problem by using critical point theory. We extend and improve some recent results.     

Existence and Uniqueness of Solutions for Homogeneous Cone Complementarity Problems

We consider existence and uniqueness properties of a solution to homogeneous cone complementarity problem. Employing an algebraic characterization of homogeneous cones due to Vinberg from the 1960s, we generalize the properties of existence and uniqueness of solutions for a nonlinear function associated with the standard nonlinear complementarity problem to the setting of homogeneous cone complementarity problem. We provide sufficient conditions for a continuous function so that the associated homogeneous cone complementarity problems have solutions. In particular, we give sufficient conditions for a monotone continuous function so that the associated homogeneous cone complementarity problem has a unique solution (if any). Moreover, we establish a global error bound for the homogeneous cone complementarity problem under some conditions.     

A nonlocal nonlinear diffusion equation with blowing up boundary conditions

We deal with boundary value problems (prescribing Dirichlet or Neumann boundary conditions) for a nonlocal nonlinear diffusion operator which is analogous to the porous medium equation. First, we prove existence, uniqueness and the validity of a comparison principle for these problems. Next, we impose boundary data that blow up in finite time and study the behavior of the solutions.
