Approximation and existence of periodic solutions for controlled diffusion equations

This paper concerns the existence of control functions such that a system of controlled stochastic differential equations (SDE) with periodic coefficients has a solution which is periodic in distribution. We show that bounded periodic controls acting in the same direction as the Driving Wiener process will achieve this under some nondegeneracy condition on the diffusion part. The main tool is an approximation theorem for solutions of SDEs which enables one to check certain stability conditions on a more suitable differential equation     

Lame equation and asymptotic higher-order periodic solutions to nonlinear evolution equations

Based on an auxiliary Lame equation and the perturbation method, a direct method is proposed to construct asymptotic higher-order periodic solutions to some nonlinear evolution equations. It is shown that some asymptotic higher-order periodic solutions to some nonlinear evolution equations in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions are explicitly obtained with the aid of symbolic computation.

Reflexive periodic solutions of general periodic matrix equations

Analysis and design of linear periodic control systems are closely related to the periodic matrix equations. The objective of this paper is to provide four new iterative methods based on the conjugate gradient normal equation error (CGNE), conjugate gradient normal equation residual (CGNR), and least‐squares QR factorization (LSQR) algorithms to find the reflexive periodic solutions (X₁,Y₁,X₂,Y₂,…,X_σ,Y_σ) of the general periodic matrix equations for i = 1,2,…,σ. The iterative methods are guaranteed to converge in a finite number of steps in the absence of round‐off errors. Finally, some numerical results are performed to illustrate the efficiency and feasibility of new methods.

The existence of periodic solutions of higher order nonlinear periodic difference equations

Sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one periodic solution of two classes of nonlinear higher order periodic difference equations are established, respectively. The results show us that sufficient conditions for the existence of T ? periodic solutions of difference equation are different from those ones for the existence of T ? periodic solutions of differential equation.

Periodic solutions in periodic state-dependent delay equations and population models

Sufficient and realistic conditions are obtained for the existence of positive periodic solutions in periodic equations with state-dependent delay. The method involves the application of the coincidence degree theorem and estimations of uniform upper bounds on solutions. Applications of these results to some population models are presented. These application results indicate that seasonal effects on population models often lead to synchronous solutions. In addition, we may conclude that when both seasonality and time delay are present and deserve consideration, the seasonality is often the generating force for the often observed oscillatory behavior in population densities.

We study the stability and exact multiplicity of periodic solutions of the Duffing equation with cubic nonlinearities,

Lyapunov stability of periodic solutions of the quadratic Newtonian equation

We will find a positive constant Σ₂ such that for any 2π ‐periodic function h (t) with zero mean value, the quadratic Newtonian equation x ″ + x² = σ + h (t) will have exactly two 2π ‐periodic solutions with one being unstable and another being twist (and therefore being Lyapunov stable), provided that the parameter σ is bigger than the first bifurcation value and is smaller than the constant Σ₂. The construction of Σ₂ is obtained by examining carefully the twist coefficients of periodic solutions (© 2009 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Morse index and stability of elliptic Lagrangian solutions in the planar three-body problem

We illustrate a new way to study the stability problem in celestial mechanics. In this paper, using the variational nature of elliptic Lagrangian solutions in the planar three-body problem, we study the relation between Morse index and its stability via Maslov-type index theory of periodic solutions of Hamiltonian system. For elliptic Lagrangian solutions we get an estimate of the algebraic multiplicity of unit eigenvalues of its monodromy matrix in terms of the Morse index, which is the key to understand the stability problem. As a special case, we provide a criterion to spectral stability of relative equilibrium.

In this paper, a periodic difference equation with saturable nonlinearity is considered. Using the linking theorem in combination with periodic approximations, we establish sufficient conditions on the nonexistence and on the existence of homoclinic solutions. Our results not only solve an open problem proposed by Pankov, but also greatly improve some existing ones even for some special cases.
