Extinction,periodicity and multistability in a Ricker model of stage-structured populations

We study the dynamics of a second-order difference equation that is derived from a planar Ricker model of two-stage (adult-juvenile) biological populations. We obtain sufficient conditions for global convergence to zero in the non-autonomous case yielding general conditions for extinction in the biological context. We also study the dynamics of an autonomous special case of the equation that generates multistable periodic and non-periodic orbits in the positive quadrant of the plane.     

Global periodic conservative solutions of a periodic modified two-component Camassa-Holm equation

In the paper, we first show the existence of global periodic conservative solutions to the Cauchy problem for a periodic modified two-component Camassa-Holm equation. Then we prove that these solutions, which depend continuously on the initial data, construct a semigroup.     

Positive periodic solutions for a nonlinear differential system with two parameters

In this article, we investigate a nonlinear system of differential equations with two parameters $$\left\{ \begin{array}{l} x"(t)=a(t)x(t)-\lambda f(t, x(t), y(t)),\y"(t)=-b(t)y(t)+\mu g(t, x(t), y(t)),\end{array}\right.$$ where $a,b \in C(\textbf{R},\textbf{R}_+)$ are $\omega-$periodic for some period $\omega > 0$, $a,b \not\equiv 0$, $f,g \in C(\textbf{R} \times \textbf{R}_+ \times \textbf{R}_+ ,\textbf{R}_+)$ are $\omega-$periodic functions in $t$, $\lambda$ and $\mu$ are positive parameters. Based upon a new fixed point theorem, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of positive periodic solutions to this system for any fixed $\lambda,\mu>0$. Finally, we give a simple example to illustrate our main result.

Time periodic solutions of porous medium equation

In this article, we study the time periodic solutions to the following porous medium equation under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition: The existence of nontrivial nonnegative solution is established provided that 0≤α<m. The existence is also proved in the case α=m but with an additional assumption $\mathop{\min}\nolimits_{\overline{\Omega}\times[0,T]}a(x,t){>}{\lambda}_1In this article, we study the time periodic solutions to the following porous medium equation under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition: The existence of nontrivial nonnegative solution is established provided that 0≤α<m. The existence is also proved in the case α=m but with an additional assumption $\mathop{\min}\nolimits_{\overline{\Omega}\times[0,T]}a(x,t){>}{\lambda}_1$, where λ₁ is the first eigenvalue of the operator ?Δ under the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. We also show that the support of these solutions is independent of time by providing a priori estimates for their upper bounds using Moser iteration. Further, we establish the attractivity of maximal periodic solution using the monotonicity method. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Positive periodic solution for second-order nonlinear differential equation with singularity of attractive type

This paper is devoted to investigate the following second-order nonlinear differential equation with singularity of attractive type $$ x''-a(t)x=f(t,x)+e(t), $$ where the nonlinear term $f$ has a singularity at the origin. By using the Green''s function of the linear differential equation with constant coefficient and Schauder''s fixed point theorem, we establish some existence results of positive periodic solutions.     

Several types of periodic wave solutions and their relations of a Fujimoto--Watanabe equation

In this paper, we study periodic wave solutions of a Fujimoto--Watanabe equation by exploiting the bifurcation method of dynamical systems. We obtain all possible bifurcations of phase portraits of the system in different regions of the parametric space, and then give the sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence of several types of periodic wave solutions. What"s more, we present their exact expressions and reveal their inside relations as well as their relations with solitary wave solutions.

Existence and asymptotic behaviour of solutions to first- and second-order difference equations with periodic forcing

By using previous results of Djafari Rouhani for non-expansive sequences in Refs (Djafari Rouhani, Ergodic theorems for nonexpansive sequences in Hilbert spaces and related problems, Ph.D. Thesis, Yale University, Part I (1981), pp. 1–76; Djafari Rouhani, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 147 (1990), pp. 465–476; Djafari Rouhani, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 151 (1990), pp. 226–235), we study the existence and asymptotic behaviour of solutions to first-order as well as second-order difference equations of monotone type with periodic forcing. In the first-order case, our result extends to general maximal monotone operators, the discrete analogue of a result of Baillon and Haraux (Rat. Mech. Anal. 67 (1977), 101–109) proved for subdifferential operators. In the second-order case, our results extend among other things, previous results of Apreutesei (J. Math. Anal. Appl. 288 (2003), 833–851) to the non-homogeneous case, and show the asymptotic convergence of every bounded solution to a periodic solution.

Periodic solutions for planar autonomous systems with nonsmooth periodic perturbations

In this paper we consider a class of planar autonomous systems having an isolated limit cycle x₀ of smallest period T>0 such that the associated linearized system around it has only one characteristic multiplier with absolute value 1. We consider two functions, defined by means of the eigenfunctions of the adjoint of the linearized system, and we formulate conditions in terms of them in order to have the existence of two geometrically distinct families of T-periodic solutions of the autonomous system when it is perturbed by nonsmooth T-periodic nonlinear terms of small amplitude. We also show the convergence of these periodic solutions to x₀ as the perturbation disappears and we provide an estimation of the rate of convergence. The employed methods are mainly based on the theory of topological degree and its properties that allow less regularity on the data than that required by the approach, commonly employed in the existing literature on this subject, based on various versions of the implicit function theorem.
