Entire Solutions of Superlinear Problems with Indefinite Weights and Hardy Potentials

We provide the structure of regular/singular fast/slow decay radially symmetric solutions for a class of superlinear elliptic equations with an indefinite weight. In particular we are interested in the case where such a weight is positive in a ball and negative outside, or in the reversed situation. We extend the approach to elliptic equations in presence of Hardy potentials, i.e. to

$$\begin{aligned} \varDelta u +\frac{h(|\text {x}|)}{|\text {x}|^2} u+ f(u, |\text {x}|)=0 \end{aligned}$$

where h is not necessarily constant. By the use of Fowler transformation we study the corresponding dynamical systems, presenting the construction of invariant manifolds when the global existence of solutions is not ensured.

How to Approximate the Heat Equation with Neumann Boundary Conditions by Nonlocal Diffusion Problems

We present a model for nonlocal diffusion with Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded smooth domain prescribing the flux through the boundary. We study the limit of this family of nonlocal diffusion operators when a rescaling parameter related to the kernel of the nonlocal operator goes to zero. We prove that the solutions of this family of problems converge to a solution of the heat equation with Neumann boundary conditions.     

Multiplicity Results on Period Solutions to Higher Dimensional Differential Equations with Multiple Delays

This paper deals with the existence and multiplicity of periodic solutions to delay differential equations of the form

$\dot{z}(t)=-f(z(t-1))- f(z(t-2))-\cdots- f(z(t-2n+1)) $

where \({z\in {\bf R}^N, f\in C({\bf R}^{N}, {\bf R}^N)}\). By using the S ¹ pseudo geometrical index theory in the critical point theory, some known results for Kaplan–Yorke type differential delay equations are generalized to higher dimensional case. As a result, the Kaplan–Yorke’s conjecture is proved to be true in the case of higher dimensional systems.

     

Convergence of Global and Bounded Solutions of Some Nonautonomous Second Order Evolution Equations with Nonlinear Dissipation

In this paper we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the following nonautonomous wave equation with nonlinear dissipation.

$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} u_{tt}+\vert u_{t}\vert^{\alpha}u_{t}-\Delta u +f(u)=g(t,x),\quad{\rm in}\,\mathbb{R}_{+}\times\Omega,\\ \qquad\qquad u(t,x)=0,\quad\, {\rm on}\,\mathbb{R}_{+}\times\partial\Omega,\end{array}\right.$

where f is an analytic function, α is a small positive real and g(t, ·) tends to 0 sufficiently fast in L ²(Ω) as t tends to ∞.

We also obtain a general convergence result and the rate of decay of solutions for a class of second order ODE containing as a special case

$\left\{\begin{array}{ll} \ddot{U}(t)+\Vert\dot{U}(t)\Vert^{\alpha}\dot{U}(t)+\nabla F(U(t))=g(t),\quad t \in \mathbb{R}_+,\\ \qquad U(0)=U_{0}\,\in \mathbb{R}^{N},\quad\dot{U}(0)=U_{1}\in \mathbb{R}^{N}. \end{array}\right.$

     

Estimates of Solutions and Asymptotic Symmetry for Parabolic Equations on Bounded Domains

We consider fully nonlinear parabolic equations on bounded domains under Dirichlet boundary conditions. Assuming that the equation and the domain satisfy certain symmetry conditions, we prove that each bounded positive solution of the Dirichlet problem is asymptotically symmetric. Compared with previous results of this type, we do not assume certain crucial hypotheses, such as uniform (with respect to time) positivity of the solution or regularity of the nonlinearity in time. Our method is based on estimates of solutions of linear parabolic problems, in particular on a theorem on asymptotic positivity of such solutions.     

Multiple Periodic Solutions of an Equation with State-Dependent Delay

Given \({N \in \mathbb N}\) we prove the existence, for parameter values in a certain range, of N distinct periodic solutions of a state-dependent delay equation studied by Walther (Differ Integral Equ 15:923–944, 2002).     

Self-Excited Oscillators with Asymmetric Nonlinearities and One-to-Two Internal Resonance

An analysis is presented on the dynamics of asymmetric self-excited oscillators with one-to-two internal resonance. The essential behavior of these oscillators is described by a two degree of freedom system, with equations of motion involving quadratic nonlinearities. In addition, the oscillators are under the action of constant external loads. When the nonlinearities are weak, the application of an appropriate perturbation approach leads to a set of slow-flow equations, governing the amplitudes and phases of approximate motions of the system. These equations are shown to possess two different solution types, generically, corresponding to static or periodic steady-state responses of the class of oscillators examined. After complementing the analytical part of the work with a method of determining the stability properties of these responses, numerical results are presented for an example mechanical system. Firstly, a series of characteristic response diagrams is obtained, illustrating the effect of the technical parameters on the steady-state response. Then results determined by the application of direct numerical integration techniques are presented. These results demonstrate the existence of other types of self-excited responses, including periodically-modulated, chaotic, and unbounded motions.

On Global Attraction to Stationary States for Wave Equations with Concentrated Nonlinearities

The global attraction to stationary states is established for solutions to 3D wave equations with concentrated nonlinearities: each finite energy solution converges as \(t\rightarrow \pm \infty \) to stationary states. The attraction is caused by nonlinear energy radiation.

Analytical Solutions to Gas Flow Problems in Low Permeability Porous Media

In most of conventional porous media the flow of gas is basically controlled by the permeability and the contribution of gas flow due to gas diffusion is ignored. The diffusion effect may have significant impact on gas flow behavior, especially in low permeability porous media. In this study, a dual mechanism based on Darcy flow as well as diffusion is presented for the gas flow in homogeneous porous media. Then, a novel form of pseudo pressure function was defined. This study presents a set of novel analytical solutions developed for analyzing steady-state and transient gas flow through porous media including effective diffusion. The analytical solutions are obtained using the real gas pseudo pressure function that incorporates the effective diffusion. Furthermore, the conventional assumption was used for linearizing the gas flow equation. As application examples, the new analytical solutions have been used to design new laboratory and field testing method to determine the porous media parameters. The proposed laboratory analysis method is also used to analyze data from steady-state flow tests of three core plugs. Then, permeability (k) and effective diffusion coefficient (D _e) was determined; however, the new method allows one to analyze data from both transient and steady-state tests in various flow geometries.
