Non‐self‐adjoint singular second‐order dynamic operators on time scale

In this study, maximal dissipative second‐order dynamic operators on semi‐infinite time scale are studied in the Hilbert space , that the extensions of a minimal symmetric operator in limit‐point case. We construct a self‐adjoint dilation of the dissipative operator together with its incoming and outgoing spectral representations so that we can determine the scattering function of the dilation as stated in the scheme of Lax‐Phillips. Moreover, we construct a functional model of the dissipative operator and identify its characteristic function in terms of the Weyl‐Titchmarsh function of a self‐adjoint second‐order dynamic operator. Finally, we prove the theorems on completeness of the system of root functions of the dissipative and accumulative dynamic operators.     

Spectral analysis of the Euler‐Bernoulli beam model with fully nonconservative feedback matrix

The Euler‐Bernoulli beam model with fully nonconservative boundary conditions of feedback control type is investigated. The output vector (the shear and the moment at the right end) is connected to the observation vector (the velocity and its spatial derivative on the right end) by a 2 × 2 matrix (the boundary control matrix), all entries of which are nonzero real numbers. For any combination of the boundary parameters, the dynamics generator, , of the model is a non–self‐adjoint matrix differential operator in the state Hilbert space. A set of 4 self‐adjoint operators, defined by the same differential expression as on different domains, is introduced. It is proven that each of these operators, as well as , is a finite‐rank perturbation of the same self‐adjoint dynamics generator of a cantilever beam model. It is also shown that the non–self‐adjoint operator, , shares a number of spectral properties specific to its self‐adjoint counterparts, such as (1) boundary inequalities for the eigenfunctions, (2) the geometric multiplicities of the eigenvalues, and (3) the existence of real eigenvalues. These results are important for our next paper on the spectral asymptotics and stability for the multiparameter beam model.     

Convergence estimates of the dynamics of a hyperbolic system with variable coefficients

A damped hyperbolic equation with a dissipative nonlinearity posed in the energy space is considered. The differential operator involved is not the Laplace operator but rather the operator ? div(a_?(x) ? ( · )) that has its coefficient depending on a parameter ?. We analyze the behavior of the global attractors as the parameter ? tends to 0. It is assumed that the coefficient a_?(x) has a well determined behavior with the parameter, and the idea is to relate the distance of the global attractors with the magnitude a_? ? a₀, measured in an appropriate norm.

Numerical calculation of the discrete spectra of one‐dimensional Schrödinger operators with point interactions

In this paper, we consider one‐dimensional Schrödinger operators S_q on with a bounded potential q supported on the segment and a singular potential supported at the ends h₀, h₁. We consider an extension of the operator S_q in defined by the Schrödinger operator and matrix point conditions at the ends h₀, h₁. By using the spectral parameter power series method, we derive the characteristic equation for calculating the discrete spectra of operator . Moreover, we provide closed‐form expressions for the eigenfunctions and associate functions in the Jordan chain given in the form of power series of the spectral parameter. The validity of our approach is proven in several numerical examples including self‐adjoint and nonself‐adjoint problems involving general point interactions described in terms of δ‐ and δ′‐distributions.     

Positive solutions for asymptotically linear Schrödinger–Kirchhoff‐type equations

In this paper, we focus on the Schrödinger–Kirchhoff‐type equation (SK) where a,b > 0 are constants, may not be radially symmetric, and f(x,u) is asymptotically linear with respect to u at infinity. Under some technical assumptions on V and f, we prove that the problem (SK) has a positive solution. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Complete systems of recursive integrals and Taylor series for solutions of Sturm–Liouville equations

Given a regular nonvanishing complex valued solution y₀ of the equation , x ∈ (a,b), assume that it is n times differentiable at a point x₀ ∈ [a,b]. We present explicit formulas for calculating the first n derivatives at x₀ for any solution of the equation . That is, a map transforming the Taylor expansion of y₀ into the Taylor expansion of u is constructed. The result is obtained with the aid of the representation for solutions of the Sturm‐Liouville equation in terms of spectral parameter power series. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A new approach toward boundedness in a two‐dimensional parabolic chemotaxis system with singular sensitivity

We consider the parabolic chemotaxis model in a smooth, bounded, convex two‐dimensional domain and show global existence and boundedness of solutions for χ∈(0,χ₀) for some χ₀>1, thereby proving that the value χ = 1 is not critical in this regard. Our main tool is consideration of the energy functional for a > 0, b≥0, where using nonzero values of b appears to be new in this context. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

The purpose of this work is to investigate the blow‐up dynamics of L²?critical focusing inhomogeneous fractional nonlinear Schrödinger equation: with 0<b<1. For this, we establish a new compactness lemma related to the equation. By applying this lemma, we study the dynamical behavior for blow‐up solutions for initial data satisfying , where Q is the ground state solution of our problem.

On the mixed problem for the semilinear Darcy‐Forchheimer‐Brinkman PDE system in Besov spaces on creased Lipschitz domains

The purpose of this paper is to study the mixed Dirichlet‐Neumann boundary value problem for the semilinear Darcy‐Forchheimer‐Brinkman system in L _p ‐based Besov spaces on a bounded Lipschitz domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^3$, with p in a neighborhood of 2. This system is obtained by adding the semilinear term | u | u to the linear Brinkman equation. First, we provide some results about equivalence between the Gagliardo and nontangential traces, as well as between the weak canonical conormal derivatives and the nontangential conormal derivatives. Various mapping and invertibility properties of some integral operators of potential theory for the linear Brinkman system, and well‐posedness results for the Dirichlet and Neumann problems in L _p ‐based Besov spaces on bounded Lipschitz domains in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$(n ≥3) are also presented. Then, using integral potential operators, we show the well‐posedness in L ₂‐based Sobolev spaces for the mixed problem of Dirichlet‐Neumann type for the linear Brinkman system on a bounded Lipschitz domain in ${\mathbb{R}}^n$(n ≥3). Further, by using some stability results of Fredholm and invertibility properties and exploring invertibility of the associated Neumann‐to‐Dirichlet operator, we extend the well‐posedness property to some L _p ‐based Sobolev spaces. Next, we use the well‐posedness result in the linear case combined with a fixed point theorem to show the existence and uniqueness for a mixed boundary value problem of Dirichlet and Neumann type for the semilinear Darcy‐Forchheimer‐Brinkman system in L _p ‐based Besov spaces, with p ∈(2?ε ,2+ε ) and some parameter ε >0.     

Endpoint regularity criterion for weak solutions of the 3D incompressible liquid crystals system

In this paper, we consider the endpoint case regularity for the 3D liquid crystals system. We prove that if , then weak solution (v,d) is smooth, and our main observation is that the condition is not necessary in this situation. The proof is based on the blow‐up analysis and backward uniqueness for the parabolic operator developed by Escauriaza‐Seregin‐S̆verák.     

The structure of the fractional powers of the noncommutative Fourier law

In the recent years, there has been a lot of interest in fractional diffusion and fractional evolution problems. The spectral theory on the S‐spectrum turned out to be an important tool to define new fractional diffusion operators stating from the Fourier law for nonhomogeneous materials. Precisely, let e_?, e_?=1,2,3 be orthogonal unit vectors in and let be a bounded open set with smooth boundary ?Ω. Denoting by a point in Ω, the heat equation is obtained replacing the Fourier law given by into the conservation of energy law. In this paper, we investigate the structure of the fractional powers of the vector operator T, with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Recently, we have found sufficient conditions on the coefficients a, b, such that the fractional powers of T exist in the sense of the S‐spectrum approach. In this paper, we show that under a different set of conditions on the coefficients a, b, c, the fractional powers of T have a different structure.

Finally, we give some examples.
