Asymptotic regularity for some dissipative equations

This paper is devoted to proving some asymptotic regularity, for both reaction-diffusion equation with a polynomially growing nonlinearity of arbitrary order and strongly damped wave equation with critical nonlinearity, which excel the sharp regularity allowed by the corresponding stationary equations (equilibrium points). Based on this regularity, the existence of the finite-dimensional global and exponential attractors can be obtained easily.     

Remarks on some families of fractional-order differential equations

The main purpose of this note is to draw the reader's attention towards some errors and omissions in a recent work involving solutions of some families of fractional-order differential equations, which was published in this Journal (see, for details, [Tomovski ?, Hilfer R, Srivastava HM. Fractional and operational calculus with generalized fractional derivative operators and Mittag–Leffler type functions. Integral Transforms Spec Funct. 2010;21:797–814]). Several relevant remarks and observations on some other related recent developments on this subject are also presented.     

Boundary feedback stabilization of coupled sine-Gordon equations

^** Email: koba{at}cntl.kyutech.ac.jp^*** Email: sakamoto{at}cntl.kyutech.ac.jp This paper is concerned with global stabilization of the systemgoverned by coupled sine-Gordon equations without damping. Astabilizer is constructed by boundary velocity feedback. Theclosed-loop system is shown to be well posed by the non-linearsemigroup approach. Moreover, using a multiplier method, globalexponential stabilization of the closed-loop system is proved.     

Remarks on the energy decay for nonlinear wave equations with nonlinear localized dissipative terms

We derive an energy decay estimate for solutions to the initial-boundary value problem of a semilinear wave equation with a nonlinear localized dissipation. To overcome a difficulty related to derivative-loss mechanism we employ a ‘loan’ method.

Remarks on non-linear noise excitability of some stochastic heat equations

We consider nonlinear parabolic SPDEs of the form ${\partial }_{t}u=\Delta u+\lambda \sigma \left(u\right)\dot{w}$ on the interval $(0,L)$, where $\dot{w}$ denotes space–time white noise, $\sigma$ is Lipschitz continuous. Under Dirichlet boundary conditions and a linear growth condition on $\sigma$, we show that the expected $L^2$-energy is of order $exp[\text{const}\times {\lambda }^4]$ as $\lambda \to \infty$. This significantly improves a recent result of Khoshnevisan and Kim. Our method is very different from theirs and it allows us to arrive at the same conclusion for the same equation but with Neumann boundary condition. This improves over another result in Khoshnevisan and Kim.     

A new sine-Gordon equation expansion algorithm to investigate some special nonlinear differential equations

A new transformation method is developed using the general sine-Gordon travelling wave reduction equation and a generalized transformation. With the aid of symbolic computation, this method can be used to seek more types of solutions of nonlinear differential equations, which include not only the known solutions derived by some known methods but new solutions. Here we choose the double sine-Gordon equation, the Magma equation and the generalized Pochhammer–Chree (PC) equation to illustrate the method. As a result, many types of new doubly periodic solutions are obtained. Moreover when using the method to these special nonlinear differential equations, some transformations are firstly needed. The method can be also extended to other nonlinear differential equations.     

Sharp estimates of bounded solutions to some semilinear second order dissipative equations

Let H, V be two real Hilbert spaces such that VH with continuous and dense imbedding, and let FC¹(V) be convex. By using differential inequalities, a close-to-optimal ultimate bound of the energy is obtained for solutions in to u^″+cu^′+bu+F(u)=f(t) whenever .
