EXISTENCE AND MOMENT ESTIMATES FOR SOLUTIONS TO NEUTRAL STOCHASTIC FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, we show the existence and uniqueness of solutions to a large class of SFDEs with the generalized local Lipschitzian coefficients. Some moment estima- tes of the solutions are given by establishing new Ito operator inequalities based on the Razumikhin technique. These estimates improve, extend and unify some related results including exponential stability of Mao （1997） [20], decay stability of Wu et al. （2010,2011） [32,33], Pavlovic et al. （2012） [24], asymptotic behavior of Luo et al. （2011） [18] and Song et al. （2013） [26]. Moreover, stochastic version of Wintner theorem in continuous space is established by the comparison principle, which improve and extend the main results of Xu et al. （2008 [39], 2013 [36]）. When the methods presented are applied to the SFDEs with impulses and SFDEs in Hilbert spaces, we extend the related results of Govindana et al. （2013） [7], Liu et al. （2007） [15], Vinod- kumar （2010） [29] and Xu et al. （2012） [35]. Two examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of our results.

THREE POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO BVP FOR p-LAPLACIAN IMPULSIVE FUNCTIONAL DYNAMIC EQUATIONS ON A TIME SCALE

In this paper, we axe interested in the existence of three positive solutions to a BVP for p-Laplacian impulsive functional dynamic equations on a time scale. Using the five-functional fixed theory, we establish a Banach space and an appropriate operator. In this paper, we combine the delta-nabla p-Laplacian BVP with impulsive functional dynamic equations, and obtain some new sufficient conditions for the existence of three positive solutions to the BVP, and our result here generalizes the previous related results.     

NUMERICAL LOCALIZATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC IMPERFECTIONS FROM A PERTURBATION FORMULA IN THREE DIMENSIONS

This work deals with the numerical localization of small electromagnetic inhomogeneities. The underlying inverse problem considers, in a three-dimensional bounded domain, the time-harmonic Maxwell equations formulated in electric field. Typically, the domain contains a finite number of unknown inhomogeneities of small volume and the inverse problem attempts to localize these inhomogeneities from a finite number of boundary measurements. Our localization approach is based on a recent framework that uses an asymptotic expansion for the perturbations in the tangential boundary trace of the curl of the electric field. We present three numerical localization procedures resulting from the combination of this asymptotic expansion with each of the following inversion algorithms： the Current Projection method, the MUltiple Signal Classification （MUSIC） algorithm, and an Inverse Fourier method. We perform a numerical study of the asymptotic expansion and compare the numerical results obtained from the three localization procedures in different settings.

GLOBAL BLOW-UP FOR A LOCALIZED DEGENERATE AND SINGULAR PARABOLIC EQUATION WITH WEIGHTED NONLOCAL BOUNDARY CONDITIONS

This paper deals with the blow-up properties of positive solutions to a localized degenerate and singular parabolic equation with weighted nonlocal boundary condi- tions. Under appropriate hypotheses, the global existence and finite time blow-up of positive solutions are obtained. Furthermore, the global blow-up behavior and the uniform blow-up profile of blow-up solutions are also described. We find that the blow-up set is the whole domain {0, a}, including the boundaries, and this differs from parabolic equations with local sources case or with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions case.     

THE CAUCHY PROBLEM OF THE HARTREE EQUATION

In this paper, we systematically study the wellposedness, illposedness of the Hartree equation, and obtain the sharp local wellposedness, the global existence in Hs, s≥1 and the small scattering result in Hs for 2 〈γ〈 n and s ≥ 2/γ - 1. In addition, we study the nonexistence of nontrivial asymptotically free solutions of the Hartree equation.     

A Nonlinear Diffusion System with Coupled Nonlinear Boundary Flux

This paper studies a nonlinear diffusion system with coupled nonlinear boundary flux and two kinds of inner sources （positive for the first and negative for the second）, where the four nonlinear mechanisms are described by eight nonlinear parameters. The critical exponent of the system is determined by a complete classification of the eight nonlinear parameters, which is represented via the characteristic algebraic system introduced to the problem.     

The complexity and randomness of linear multi-secret sharing schemes with non-threshold structures

In a linear multi-secret sharing scheme with non-threshold structures, several secret values are shared among n participants, and every secret value has a specified access structure. The efficiency of a multi- secret sharing scheme is measured by means of the complexity a and the randomness . Informally, the com- plexity a is the ratio between the maximum of information received by each participant and the minimum of information corresponding to every key. The randomness is the ratio between the amount of information distributed to the set of users U = {1, …, n} and the minimum of information corresponding to every key. In this paper, we discuss a and of any linear multi-secret sharing schemes realized by linear codes with non-threshold structures, and provide two algorithms to make a and to be the minimum, respectively. That is, they are optimal.

In this paper,a predator-prey ecosystem with two delays is considered.Firstly,the stability of the equilibrium of the system is investigated by analyzing the characteristic equation.Secondly,by choosing the sum of the two delays as a bifurcation parameter,it is shown that Hopf bifurcation occurs as the parameter passes through a certain critical value.Finally,in order to illustrate our theoretical analysis,some numerical simulations are also included.     

OSCILLATION CRITERIA FOR STRONGLY SUPERLINEAR AND STRONGLY SUBLINEAR HIGHER ORDER DYNAMIC EQUATIONS ON TIME SCALES

ON THE SINGULARITY OF LEAST SQUARES ESTIMATOR FOR MEAN-REVERTING α-STABLE MOTIONS

We study the problem of parameter estimation for mean-reverting α-stable motion, dXt = （a0 - θ0Xt）dt ＋ dZt, observed at discrete time instants. A least squares estimator is obtained and its asymptotics is discussed in the singular case （a0, θ0） = （0, 0）. If a0 = 0, then the mean-reverting α-stable motion becomes Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process and is studied in [7] in the ergodic case θ0 〉 0. For the Ornstein-Uhlenbeck process, asymptotics of the least squares estimators for the singular case （θ0 = 0） and for ergodic case （θ0 〉 0） are completely different.     

EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO A THREE-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR SECOND ORDER DYNAMIC EQUATIONS WITH DERIVATIVE ON TIME SCALES

An example is also presented to illustrate the applications of the results obtained.

The Lie-group formalism is applied to investigate the symmetries of the modified Boussinesq system with variable coefficients. We derived the infinitesimals and the admissible forms of the coefficients that admit the classical symmetry group. The reduced systems of ordinary differential equations deduced from the optimal system of subalgebras are further studied and some exact solutions are obtained.     

CHEBYSHEV METHODS WITH DISCRETE NOISE： THE τ-ROCK METHODS

Stabilized or Chebyshev explicit methods have been widely used in the past to solve stiff ordinary differential equations. Making use of special properties of Chebyshev-like polynomials, these methods have favorable stability properties compared to standard explicit methods while remaining explicit. A new class of such methods, called ROCK, introduced in [Numer. Math., 90, 1-18, 2001] has recently been extended to stiff stochastic differential equations under the name S-ROCK [C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, 345（10）, 2007 and Commun. Math. Sci, 6（4）, 2008]. In this paper we discuss the extension of the S-ROCK methods to systems with discrete noise and propose a new class of methods for such problems, the τ-ROCK methods. One motivation for such methods is the simulation of multi-scale or stiff chemical kinetic systems and such systems are the focus of this paper, but our new methods could potentially be interesting for other stiff systems with discrete noise. Two versions of the τ-ROCK methods are discussed and their stability behavior is analyzed on a test problem. Compared to the τ-leaping method, a significant speed-up can be achieved for some stiff kinetic systems. The behavior of the proposed methods are tested on several numerical experiments.     

ESTIMATION FOR THE ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR OF THE DELAYED COMPETITION MODEL

In ecological dynamic systems, the competition between species is a very universal phenomenon, which can be described by the well-known Volterra-Lotka model in a diffusion form. Noticing that the living space usually changes in a seasonal manner and the population development of the species may also undergo time-delay im- pact, a developed form of this model is investigated in this article. The main approaches employed here are the upper-lower solution method and the energy-estimate technique. The results show that whether the species may sustain survival or not depends on the relations among the birth rate, the death rate, the competition rate, the diffusivity and the time delay. For the survival case, the population evolutions of the two species may appear asymptotic periodicity with distinct upper bound and this bound depends heavily on the time delay. These results can be also checked by the intuitionistic numerical simulations.
