Generalized H-KKM Type Theorems in H-Metric Spaces with Applications

The new notions of H-metric spaces and generalized H-KKM mappings were introduced. Some generalized H-KKM type theorems for generalized H-KKM mappings with finitely metrically compactly closed values and finitely metrically compactly open values were established in H-metric spaces. These theorems generalized recent results of Khamsi and Yuan. As applications, some Ky Fan type matching theorems for finitely metrically compactly open covers and finitely metrically compactly closed covers, fixed point theorems and minimax inequality are obtained in H-metric spaces. These results generalize a number of know results in recent literature.

Lyapunov’s first and second instability theorems for Caputo fractional-order systems

As well as proving stability, Lyapunov functions can also be used to prove instability, for which there are two well-known theorems: Lyapunov’s first and second instability theorems, in the integer-order (ordinary differential equation) case. However, these instability theorems for Caputo fractional-order systems remain blank, due to the long lack of general results on continuation of solution and Caputo fractional derivative of Lyapunov functions along trajectories. In this paper, based on recent advances in these two aspects, the Lyapunov’s first and second instability theorems for Caputo fractional-order systems are presented with proofs and then illustrated by examples.

     

Consistency between independence theorems and generalized self-consistent method

Recently Zheng & Hwang established a series of independence theorems concerning with planar effective elastic properties. It is manifested that the estimation of the effective elastic properties of microcracked solids through the generalized self-consistent method (GSCM) contradicts with these independence theorems. In this paper it is shown that such contradiction is actually caused by the approximate algorithm adopted, while the exact solution of GSCM is consistent with these rigorously established independence theorems. Since only an approximate algorithm in GCSM is available in dealing with problems involving non-circular inclusions or holes, an intrinsic GSCM is proposed, which can be performed based on an approximate algorithm and the corresponding estimations are consistent with the independence theorems.     

Some coincidence theorems of set-valued mappings

Browder^[1] obtained the sharpened forms of the Schauder fixed point theorem. Many authors generalized Browder’s results in several aspects. Recently, H.M. Ko and K.K. Tan^[2,3] generalized Browder’s theorems to the coincidence theorems of set-valued mappings. In this paper, we also show some coincidence theorems oj set-valued mappings. They improve and generalize the important results in [1,2,3].

Positive solution of a class of equations involving noncompact mappings

In this paper, we define a generalized relative degree for A-proper mappings from a relative open subset of a Banach space into another Banach space and introduce the concepts of generalized P-compact and P₁-compact mappings. Next, we show several existence theorems of positive solutions for the equations involving these mappings. Our theorems improve and extend some recent results.

The author defines a concept of fixed point index of ultimately compact set-valued mappings in Hausdorff locally convex spaces. Using this concept, the author establishes several nonzero fixed point theorems of set-valued -condensing mappings. These theorems extend some known results in [1,2,7,8,9].Projects Supported by the Science Fund of the Chinese Academy of Sciences

Generalized reciprocal theorems and their applications

Generalized reciprocal theorems of non-coupled and coupled systems, which are valid for two deformed bodies with different constitutive relations are established by generalizing the idea of Betti's reciprocal theorem. When the consitutive relations of the two deformed bodies are all alike and linear elastic, the generalized reciprocal theorem of non-coupled systems just becomes Betti's. Meanwhile, the generalized reciprocal theorems are applied to simulate calculations in elasticity.

Comparison theorems for problems of nonlinear anisotropic flow through porous media

Flow law constraints that make it possible to establish comparison theorems (analogs of the theorems of [1, 2]) for nonlinear flows in an anisotropic inhomogeneous medium are formulated. In the theorems obtained the changes in the values of the pressure head and, moreover, the flow rate, filter velocity and pressure head gradients for such perturbations of the problem as the depression of individual surfaces, changes in the given boundary values of the head, etc., are established. The strict monotonicity of the relation between the flow rate and the pressure head difference in a region of the enlarged stream tube type and the possibility of an increase in flow rate with increase in flow resistance are demonstrated. The question of the correspondence between the constraints introduced and certain common models of porous media is discussed. Kazan'.
