Exponential asymptotic property of a parallel repairable system with warm standby under common-cause failure

We discuss exponential asymptotic property of the solution of a parallel repairable system with warm standby under common-cause failure. This system can be described by a group of partial differential equations with integral boundary. First we show that the positive contraction C₀-semigroup T(t) [Weiwei Hu, Asymptotic stability analysis of a parallel repairable system with warm standby under common-cause failure, Acta Anal. Funct. Appl. 8 (1) (2006) 5-20] which is generated by the operator corresponding to these equations is a quasi-compact operator. Then by using [Weiwei Hu, Asymptotic stability analysis of a parallel repairable system with warm standby under common-cause failure, Acta Anal. Funct. Appl. 8 (1) (2006) 5-20] that 0 is an eigenvalue of the operator with algebraic index one and the C₀-semigroup T(t) is contraction, we conclude that the spectral bound of the operator is zero. By using the above results the exponential asymptotical stability of the time-dependent solution of the system follows easily.     

Differentiability of the age-dependent population system with time delay in the birth process

In this paper, by using semigroup approach, we concerned with the regularity of the age-dependent population system with instantaneous time delay in the birth process. We prove that, under some additional condition, the solution semigroup of the population evolution equation is eventually differentiable, i.e., there exists t₀>0 such that T(t) is differentiable for t>t₀.     

Multiplicity of characteristics with Lagrangian boundary values on symmetric star-shaped hypersurfaces

In this paper, the multiplicity of Lagrangian orbits on C² smooth compact symmetric star-shaped hypersurfaces with respect to the origin in R2n is studied. These Lagrangian orbits begin from one Lagrangian subspace and end on another. An infinitely many existence result is proved via Z₂-index theory. This is a multiplicity result about the Arnold Chord Conjecture in some sense, and is a generalization of the problem about the multiplicity of Lagrangian orbits beginning from and ending on the same Lagrangian subspace which was considered in the authors' previous paper [F. Guo, C. Liu, Multiplicity of Lagrangian orbits on symmetric star-shaped hypersurfaces, Nonlinear Anal. 69 (4) (2008) 1425-1436].

Exact boundary observability for nonautonomous quasilinear wave equations

By means of a direct and constructive method based on the theory of semiglobal C² solution, the local exact boundary observability is shown for nonautonomous 1-D quasilinear wave equations. The essential difference between nonautonomous wave equations and autonomous ones is also revealed.     

Solutions to boundary Cauchy problems with infinite delay

In this paper, we investigate the existence, uniqueness of solutions to boundary Cauchy equations with infinite delay, which are more general than the previous studies. The conclusions are applied to an age dependent population with delay in the birth process.     

Positivity and stability of the essential spectrum for singular transport semigroups with non-vacuum boundary conditions

In this paper we prove some compactness results for a large class of singular transport equations. Our approach relies on some comparison results for positive operators. Our results extend and complete several earlier works. We also provide simpler proofs for several known results in the literature.

Large time behavior of solutions to a nonlinear integro-differential system

Asymptotic behavior of solutions as t→∞ to the nonlinear integro-differential system associated with the penetration of a magnetic field into a substance is studied. Initial-boundary value problems with two kinds of boundary data are considered. The first with homogeneous conditions on whole boundary and the second with non-homogeneous boundary data on one side of lateral boundary. The rates of convergence are given too.

On a generalization of the Evans Conjecture

The Evans Conjecture states that a partial Latin square of order n with at most n-1 entries can be completed. In this paper we generalize the Evans Conjecture by showing that a partial r-multi Latin square of order n with at most n-1 entries can be completed. Using this generalization, we confirm a case of a conjecture of Häggkvist.     

Upper triangular operator matrices with the single-valued extension property

If A=(Aij)_1?i,j?n∈B(X) is an upper triangular Banach space operator such that AiiAij=AijAjj for all 1?i?j?n, then A has SVEP or satisfies (Dunford's) condition (C) or (Bishop's) property (β) or (the decomposition) property (δ) if and only if Aii, 1?i?n, has the corresponding property.     

Uniform stability of solutions of Boltzmann equation for soft potential with external force

The study of Cauchy problem of the Boltzmann equation is important in both theory and applications. Existence of global solutions to the equation and uniform stability of solutions in the absence of external force were introduced in the previous work on the Boltzmann equation. In this paper, we will investigate the uniform stability of solutions in L¹ for the Cauchy problem of the Boltzmann equation when there is an external force for the case of soft potentials.

Boundary feedback stabilization of the undamped Timoshenko beam with both ends free

In this paper, we study a boundary feedback system of a class of nonuniform undamped Timoshenko beam with both ends free. We give some sufficient conditions and some necessary conditions for the system to have exponential stability. Our method is based on the operator semigroup technique, the multiplier technique, and the contradiction argument of the frequency domain method.
