Positive solutions and eigenvalue intervals of nonlocal boundary value problems with delays

The paper is concerned with the delay differential equation u^″+λb(t)f(u(t−τ))=0 satisfying u(t)=0 for −τ?t?0 and , where denotes the Riemann-Stieltjes integral. By applying the fixed point theorem in cones, we show the relationship between the asymptotic behaviors of the quotient (at zero and infinity) and the open intervals (eigenvalue intervals) of the parameter λ such that the problem has zero, one and two positive solution(s). If g(t)=t, by using a property of the Riemann-Stieltjes integral, the above nonlocal boundary value problem educes a three-point boundary value problem with delay, for which some similar results are established.     

Non-autonomous scalar discontinuous ordinary differential equation

In this paper we prove that the problem x^′(t)=f(x(t))+h(t), x(0)=0, where f and h are non-negative, f is finite a.e. and , h are Lebesgue integrable, has an absolutely continuous solution.     

Growth theorems and coefficient bounds for univalent holomorphic mappings which have parametric representation

Let B be the unit ball in Cn with respect to an arbitrary norm and let f(z,t) be a g-Loewner chain such that e−tf(z,t)−z has a zero of order k+1 at z=0. In this paper, we obtain growth and covering theorems for . Moreover, we consider coefficient bounds and examples of mappings in .     

A generalization of Barbashin-Krasovski theorem

The classical criterion of asymptotic stability of the zero solution of equations x^′=f(t,x) is that there exists a function V(t,x), a(‖x‖)?V(t,x)?b(‖x‖) for some a,b∈K, such that for some c∈K. In this paper we prove that if f(t,x) is bounded, is uniformly continuous and bounded, then the condition that can be weakened and replaced by and contains no complete trajectory of , t∈[−T,T], where , uniformly for (t,x)∈[−T,T]×BH.     

Generalized almost periodic and ergodic solutions of linear differential equations on the half-line in Banach spaces

The Bohl-Bohr-Amerio-Kadets theorem states that the indefinite integral y=Pφ of an almost periodic (ap) is again ap if y is bounded and the Banach space X does not contain a subspace isomorphic to c₀. This is here generalized in several directions: Instead of it holds also for φ defined only on a half-line , instead of ap functions abstract classes with suitable properties are admissible, can be weakened to φ in some “mean” class , then ; here contains all f∈L¹_loc with in for all h>0 (usually strictly); furthermore, instead of boundedness of y mean boundedness, y in some , or in , ergodic functions, suffices. The Loomis-Doss result on the almost periodicity of a bounded Ψ for which all differences Ψ(t+h)−Ψ(t) are ap for h>0 is extended analogously, also to higher order differences. Studying “difference spaces” in this connection, we obtain decompositions of the form: Any bounded measurable function is the sum of a bounded ergodic function and the indefinite integral of a bounded ergodic function. The Bohr-Neugebauer result on the almost periodicity of bounded solutions y of linear differential equations P(D)y=φ of degree m with ap φ is extended similarly for ; then provided, for example, y is in some with U=L^∞ or is totally ergodic and, for the half-line, Reλ?0 for all eigenvalues P(λ)=0. Analogous results hold for systems of linear differential equations. Special case: φ bounded and Pφ ergodic implies Pφ bounded. If all Reλ>0, there exists a unique solution y growing not too fast; this y is in if , for quite general .     

Sum of graphs of continuous functions and boundedness of additive operators

Assume that and are uniformly continuous functions, where D₁,D₂⊂X are nonempty open and arc-connected subsets of a real normed space X. We prove that then either f and g are affine functions, that is f(x)=x^∗(x)+a and g(x)=x^∗(x)+b with some x^∗∈X^∗ and a,b∈R or the algebraic sum of graphs of functions f and g has a nonempty interior in a product space X×R treated as a normed space with a norm .     

Bi-Sobolev mappings with differential matrices in Orlicz Zygmund classes

Bi-Sobolev mappings have been defined as those homeomorphisms such that f and f−1 belong to . We deduce regularity properties of the distortion of f from the regularity of the differential matrix Df−1 and conversely.
