Global Existence of Positive Periodic Solutions for a Distributed Delay Competition Model

By using the continuation theorem of Mawhin's coincidence degree theory, a sufficient condition is derived for the existence of positive periodic solutions for a distributed delay competition modelwhere ri and r2 are continuous w-periodic functions in R+=[0,∞) with ,ai,ci(i =1,2) are positive continuous w-periodic functions in R+=[0,∞),bi (i = 1,2) is nonnegative continuous w-periodic function in R+=[0,∞), w and T are positive constants. Ki,Lt ∈ C([-T,0], (01 88)) and Ki(s)ds = 1,ds - 1. i = 1,2. Some known results are improved and extended.     

A Priori Bounds for Periodic Solutions of a Kind of Second Order Neutral Functional Differential Equation with Multiple Deviating Arguments

Thc main aim of this paper is to use the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory for studying the existence of periodic solutions to a kind of neutral functional differential equation as follows：（x（t）-^n∑i=1cix（t-ri））″=f（x（t））x′＋g（x（t-τ））＋p（t）.In order to do so, we analyze the structure of the linear difference operator A ： C2π→C2π, [Ax]（t） =x（t）-∑^ni=1cix（t-ri）to determine some flmdamental properties first, which we are going to use throughout this paper. Meanwhile, we also prove some new inequalities which are useful for estimating a priori bounds of periodie solutions.

A Representation of the Lorentz Spin Group and Its Application

For an integer m ≥ 4, we define a set of 2[m/2] × 2[m/2] matrices γj （m）, （j = 0, 1,..., m - 1） which satisfy γj （m）γk （m） ＋γk （m）γj （m） = 2ηjk （m）I[m/2], where （ηjk （m）） 0≤j,k≤m-1 is a diagonal matrix, the first diagonal element of which is 1 and the others are -1, I[m/2] is a 2[m/1] × 2[m/2] identity matrix with [m/2] being the integer part of m/2. For m = 4 and 5, the representation （m） of the Lorentz Spin group is known. For m≥ 6, we prove that （i） when m = 2n, （n ≥ 3）, （m） is the group generated by the set of matrices {T｜T=1/√ξ（（I＋k） 0 ＋ 0 I-K） （ U 0 0 U）, （ii） when m = 2n ＋ 1 （n≥ 3）, （m） is generated by the set of matrices {T｜T=1/√ξ（I -k^- k I）U,U∈ （m-1）,ξ=1-m-2 ∑k,j=0 ηkja^k a^j〉0, K=i[m-3 ∑j=0 a^j γj（m-2）＋a^（m-2） In],K^-=i[m-3∑j=0 a^j γj（m-2）-a^（m-2） In]}

For γ≥1 we consider the solution u=u（x） of the Dirichlet boundary value problem Δu ＋ u^-γ=0 in Ω, u=0 on δΩ. For γ= 1 we find the estimate u（x）=p（δ（x））[1＋A（x）（log 1/δ（x）^-6], where p（r） ≈ r r√2 log（1/r） near r = 0,δ（x） denotes the distance from x to δΩ, 0 〈ε 〈 1/2, and A（x） is a bounded function. For 1 〈 γ 〈 3 we find u（x）=（γ＋1/√2（γ-1）δ（x））^2/γ＋[1＋A（x）（δ（x））2γ-1/γ＋1] For γ3= we prove that u（x）=（2δ（x））^1/2[1＋A（x）δ（x）log 1/δ（x）]

Effective Reducibility of a Class of Linear Differential Equations with Quasiperiodic Coefficients

In this paper we consider the effective reducibility of the following linear differentialequation: x = (A ∈Q(t,∈))x, |∈| ≤ ∈0, where A is a constant matrix, Q(t,e) is quasiperiodic in t, and e is a small perturbation parameter. We prove that if the eigenvalues of A and the basic frequencies of Q satisfy some non-resonant conditions, the linear differential equation can be reduced to y = (A^*(∈) R^*(t, ∈))y, |∈| ≤ ∈o, where R^* is exponentially small in ∈.     

The Asymptotics of the Two-Dimensional Wave Equation for a General Multi-Connected Vibrating Membrane with Piecewise Smooth Robin Boundary Conditions

The asymptotic expansion for small |t| of the trace of the wave kernel ∧↑μ(t) =∑v=1^∞exp(-it μv^1/2), where i= √-1 and {μv}v=1^∞ are the eigenvalues of the negative Laplacian -△=-∑β=1^2(δ/δx^β)^2 in the (x^1, x^2)-plane, is studied for a multi-connected vibrating membrane Ω in R^2 surrounded by simply connected bounded domains Ωj with smooth boundaries δΩj(j=1,...,n), where a finite number of piecewise smooth Robin boundary conditions on the piecewise smooth components Гi(i=1 κj-1,...,κj) of the boundaries δΩj are considered, such that δΩj=∪i=1 κj-1^κj Гi and κ0=0. The basic problem is to extract information on the geometry of Ω using the wave equation approach. Some geometric quantities of Ω (e.g. the area of Ω, the total lengths of its boundary, the curvature of its boundary, the number of the holes of Ω, etc.) are determined from the asymptotic expansion of the trace of the wave kernel ∧↑μ(t) for small |t|.
