Blow-up of solutions for a nonlinear beam equation with fractional feedback

A nonlinear beam equation describing the transversal vibrations of a beam with boundary feedback is considered. The boundary feedback involves a fractional derivative. We discuss the asymptotic behavior of solutions. In fact, we prove that solutions blow up in finite time under certain assumptions on the nonlinearity.     

Some new nonlinear inequalities and applications to boundary value problems

In this paper, we establish some new nonlinear integral inequalities of the Gronwall–Bellman–Ou-Iang-type in two variables. These on the one hand generalizes and on the other hand furnish a handy tool for the study of qualitative as well as quantitative properties of solutions of differential equations. We illustrate this by applying our new results to certain boundary value problem.     

Global existence and nonexistence of solutions for a viscoelastic wave equation with nonlinear boundary source term

In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem for a viscoelastic wave equation with nonlinear boundary source term. First of all, we introduce a family of potential wells and prove the invariance of some sets. Then we establish the existence and nonexistence of global weak solution with small initial energy under suitable assumptions on the relaxation function , nonlinear function , the initial data and the parameters in the equation. Furthermore, we obtain the global existence of weak solution for the problem with critical initial conditions and .     

Blow-up problems for nonlinear parabolic equations on locally finite graphs

Let G=(V,E) be a locally finite connected weighted graph, and Δ be the usual graph Laplacian. In this article, we study blow-up problems for the nonlinear parabolic equation u_t=Δu + f(u) on G. The blow-up phenomenons for u_t=Δu + f(u) are discussed in terms of two cases: (i) an initial condition is given; (ii) a Dirichlet boundary condition is given. We prove that if f satisfies appropriate conditions, then the corresponding solutions will blow up in a finite time.     

Critical exponent for damped wave equations with nonlinear memory

We consider the Cauchy problem in Rⁿ,n≥1, for a semilinear damped wave equation with nonlinear memory. Global existence and asymptotic behavior as t→∞ of small data solutions have been established in the case when 1≤n≤3. We also derive a blow-up result under some positive data in any dimensional space.

Explicit bounds on some new nonlinear integral inequalities with delay

The purpose of the present note is to establish some new delay integral inequalities, which provide explicit bounds on unknown functions and generalize some results of Li et al. [Some new delay integral inequalities and their applications, J. Comput. Appl. Math. 180 (2005) 191–200]. The inequalities given here can be used to investigate the qualitative properties of certain delay differential equations and delay integral equations.

Blow-up behavior outside the origin for a semilinear wave equation in the radial case

We consider the semilinear wave equation in the radial case with conformal subcritical power nonlinearity. If we consider a blow-up point different from the origin, then we exhibit a new Lyapunov functional which is a perturbation of the one-dimensional case and extend all our previous results known in the one-dimensional case. In particular, we show that the blow-up set near non-zero non-characteristic points is of class C¹, and that the set of characteristic points is made of concentric spheres in finite number in for any R>1.

We take up the existence and global behavior of positive continuous solutions of the following nonlinear parabolic equation in (n?2) with boundary conditions u=0 on and u(x,0)=u₀(x). The nonlinear term is required to satisfy some conditions related to a functional class , which we introduce in this paper and will be called parabolic Kato class in the half space. Our approach is based on potential theory.

We prove the existence of positive solutions to the scalar equation y^″(x)+F(x,y,y^′)=0$y^{″}(x)+F(x,y,y^{\prime })=0$. Applications to semilinear elliptic equations in exterior domains are considered.     

Piecewise multiplier method and nonlinear integral inequalities for Petrowsky equation with nonlinear dissipation

This work is concerned with obtention of energy decay estimates for Petrowsky equation with a nonlinear dissipation which is active only in an interior subset of the domain. We prove that the piecewise multiplier method as introduced by [20] and [22] for the wave equation can be extended to the Petrowsky equation. Moreover, we also apply some recent results by the author to obtain precise decay rate estimates for the energy, without specifying the growth of the nonlinear dissipation close to the origin by means of convex properties and nonlinear integral inequalities for the energy of the solutions.
