A nonhomogeneous boundary value problem for the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation in a quarter plane

We study the initial boundary value problem for the one‐dimensional Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation posed in a half line with nonhomogeneous boundary conditions. Through the analysis of the boundary integral operator, and applying the known results of the Cauchy problem of the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation posed on the whole line , the initial boundary value problem of the Kuramoto–Sivashinsky equation is shown to be globally well‐posed in Sobolev space for any s >?2.

Global existence and asymptotic behavior of classical solutions for a 3D two‐species chemotaxis‐Stokes system with competitive kinetics

This paper considers the 2‐species chemotaxis‐Stokes system with competitive kinetics under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a 3‐dimensional bounded domain with smooth boundary. Both chemotaxis‐fluid systems and 2‐species chemotaxis systems with competitive terms were studied by many mathematicians. However, there have not been rich results on coupled 2‐species–fluid systems. Recently, global existence and asymptotic stability in the above problem with (u·∇)u in the fluid equation were established in the 2‐dimensional case. The purpose of this paper is to give results for global existence, boundedness, and stabilization of solutions to the above system in the 3‐dimensional case when is sufficiently small.     

Forced oscillation of delay difference equations via nonprincipal solution

In this paper, we obtain a new oscillation result for delay difference equations of the form under the assumption that corresponding homogenous equation is nonoscillatory, where τ_n≤n+1. It is observed that the oscillation behaviormay be altered due to presence of the delay. Extensions to forced Emden‐Fowler–type delay difference equations in the sublinear (0<α<1) and the superlinear (1<α) cases are also discussed.

Time‐harmonic and asymptotically linear Maxwell equations in anisotropic media

This paper is focused on following time‐harmonic Maxwell equation: where is a bounded Lipschitz domain, is the exterior normal, and ω is the frequency. The boundary condition holds when Ω is surrounded by a perfect conductor. Assuming that f is asymptotically linear as , we study the above equation by improving the generalized Nehari manifold method. For an anisotropic material with magnetic permeability tensor and permittivity tensor , ground state solutions are established in this paper. Applying the principle of symmetric criticality, we find 2 types of solutions with cylindrical symmetries in particular for the uniaxial material.     

Nonlinear diffusion equations as asymptotic limits of Cahn‐Hilliard systems on unbounded domains via Cauchy's criterion

This paper develops an abstract theory for subdifferential operators to give existence and uniqueness of solutions to the initial‐boundary problem P for the nonlinear diffusion equation in an unbounded domain ( ), written as which represents the porous media, the fast diffusion equations, etc, where β is a single‐valued maximal monotone function on , and T>0. In Kurima and Yokota (J Differential Equations 2017; 263:2024‐2050 and Adv Math Sci Appl 2017; 26:221‐242) existence and uniqueness of solutions for P were directly proved under a growth condition for β even though the Stefan problem was excluded from examples of P . This paper completely removes the growth condition for β by confirming Cauchy's criterion for solutions of the following approximate problem _ε with approximate parameter ε>0: which is called the Cahn‐Hilliard system, even if ( ) is an unbounded domain. Moreover, it can be seen that the Stefan problem excluded from Kurima and Yokota (J Differential Equations 2017; 263:2024‐2050 and Adv Math Sci Appl 2017; 26:221‐242) is covered in the framework of this paper.

The existence of at least one solution is proved by using Banach fixed point theorem and Schaefer's fixed point theorem. Some illustrative examples are also presented.

Analyticity for a class of nonlocal Kuramoto‐Sivashinsky equations arising in interfacial electrohydrodynamics

In this article, we study the analyticity properties of solutions of the nonlocal Kuramoto‐Sivashinsky equations, defined on 2π‐periodic intervals, where ν is a positive constant; μ is a nonnegative constant; p is an arbitrary but fixed real number in the interval [3,4); and is an operator defined by its symbol in Fourier space, with be the Hilbert transform. We establish spatial analyticity in a strip around the real axis for the solutions of such equations, which possess universal attractors. Also, a lower bound for the width of the strip of analyticity is obtained.     

Asymptotic behavior for the singularly perturbed damped Boussinesq equation

This work is focused on the long‐time behavior of solutions to the singularly perturbed damped Boussinesq equation in a 3D case where ε > 0 is small enough. Without any growth restrictions on the nonlinearity f(u), we establish in an appropriate bounded phase space a finite dimensional global attractor as well as an exponential attractor of optimal regularity. The key step is the estimate of the difference between the solutions of the damped Boussinesq equation and the corresponding pseudo‐parabolic equation.Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

In this paper, we study the existence of analytic invariant curves of a iterative equation which from mosquito model. By constructing an invertible analytic solution g(x) of an auxiliary equation of the form invertible analytic solutions of the form g(αg ^{? 1}(x)) for the original iterative functional equation are obtained. Besides the hyperbolic case 0 < | α | < 1, we focus on those α on the unit circle S¹, that is, | α | = 1. We discuss not only those α at resonance, that is at a root of the unity, but also those α near resonance under the Brjuno condition. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
