A product formula for semigroups of Lipschitz operators associated with abstract quasilinear evolution equations

The notion of semigroups of Lipschitz operators associated with abstract quasilinear evolution equations is introduced and a product formula for such semigroups is established. The product formula obtained in the paper is applied to the solvability of the Cauchy problem for a first order quasilinear system through a finite difference scheme of the Lax‐Friedrichs type.     

On stability for a class of semilinear stochastic evolution equations

Sufficient conditions for almost surely asymptotic stability with a certain decay function of sample paths, which are given by mild solutions to a class of semilinear stochastic evolution equations, are presented. The analysis is based on introducing approximating system with strong solution and using a limiting argument to pass on some properties of strong solution to our purposes. Several examples are studied to illustrate our theory. In particular, by means of the derived results we lose conditions of certain stochastic evolution systems from Haussmann (1978) to obtain the pathwise stability for mild solution with probability one.     

Minimal periods of semilinear evolution equations with Lipschitz nonlinearity

It is known that any periodic orbit of a Lipschitz ordinary differential equation must have period at least 2π/L, where L is the Lipschitz constant of f. In this paper, we prove a similar result for the semilinear evolution equation du/dt=-Au+f(u): for each α with 0?α?1/2 there exists a constant K_α such that if L is the Lipschitz constant of f as a map from D(A^α) into H then any periodic orbit has period at least K_αL^-1/(1-α). As a concrete application we recover a result of Kukavica giving a lower bound on the period for the 2d Navier-Stokes equations with periodic boundary conditions.     

Stochastic partial functional differential equations with locally monotone coefficients,locally Lipschitz non-linearity and delay

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions for stochastic partial functional differential equations with locally monotone coefficients, locally Lipschitz non-linearity, and time delay. Our results extend previous results obtained by Liu–Röckner, Caraballo et al. and Taniguchi et al. Examples are given to illustrate the wide applicability of our results.     

Global solvability for abstract semilinear evolution equations

The Cauchy problem for the abstract semilinear evolution equation u^′(t) = Au (t) + B (u (t)) + C (u (t)) is discussed in a general Banach space X. Here A is the so‐called Hille‐Yosida operator in X, B is a differentiable operator from D (A) into X, and C is a locally Lipschitz continuous operator from D (A) into itself. A vectorvalued functional defined only on X is used and appropriate conditions on the nonlinear operators B and C are imposed so that a vector‐valued functional defined on the domain of the operator A may be constructed in order to specify the growth of a global solution. The advantage of our formulation lies in the fact that it is possible to obtain a global solution by checking some energy inequalities concerning only low order derivatives (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Maximal operators of commutators of Bochner-Riesz means with Lipschitz functions

This paper presents a weighted L ² estimate with power weights for the maximal operator of commutators generated by compactly supported multipliers and Lipschitz functions. As an application, we study the almost convergence of the commutators, which is generated by the Bochner-Riesz means under the critical index and Lipschitz functions, for functions in L ^p (p ⩾ 2).     

Mild solutions of non‐Lipschitz stochastic integrodifferential evolution equations

In this work, we study the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for stochastic partial integrodifferential equations under local non‐Lipschitz conditions on the coefficients. Our analysis makes use of the theory of resolvent operators as developed by R. Grimmer as well as a stopping time technique. Our results complement and improve several earlier related works. An example is provided to illustrate the theoretical results. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A product formula for semigroups of Lipschitz operators associated with semilinear evolution equations of parabolic type

A product formula for semigroups of Lipschitz operators associated with semilinear evolution equations of parabolic type is discussed under a new type of stability condition which admits “error term”. The result obtained here is applied to showing the convergence of approximate solutions constructed by a fractional step method to the solution of the complex Ginzburg–Landau equation.     

Almost automorphic and weighted pseudo almost automorphic solutions of semilinear evolution equations

In this paper, applying the theory of semigroups of operators to evolution family and Banach fixed point theorem, we prove the existence and uniqueness of an (a) almost automorphic (weighted pseudo almost automorphic) mild solution of the semilinear evolution equation x^′(t)=A(t)x(t)+f(t,x(t)) in Banach space under conditions.     

Stability of discrete-time positive evolution operators on ordered Banach spaces and applications

In this paper we discuss stability problems for a class of discrete-time evolution operators generated by linear positive operators acting on certain ordered Banach spaces. Our approach is based upon a new representation result that links a positive operator with the adjoint operator of its restriction to a Hilbert subspace formed by sequences of Hilbert–Schmidt operators. This class includes the evolution operators involved in stability and optimal control problems for linear discrete-time stochastic systems. The inclusion is strict because, following the results of Choi, we have proved that there are positive operators on spaces of linear, bounded and self-adjoint operators which have not the representation that characterize the completely positive operators. As applications, we introduce a new concept of weak-detectability for pairs of positive operators, which we use to derive sufficient conditions for the existence of global and stabilizing solutions for a class of generalized discrete-time Riccati equations. Finally, assuming weak-detectability conditions and using the method of Lyapunov equations we derive a new stability criterion for positive evolution operators.     

Existence of sign-changing solutions for semilinear singular elliptic equations with critical Sobolev exponents

We consider the semilinear elliptic problem in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where 0∈Ω is a smooth bounded domain in RN, N?4, , is the critical Sobolev exponent, f(x,⋅) has subcritical growth at infinity, K(x)>0 is continuous. We prove the existence of sign-changing solutions under different assumptions when Ω is a usual domain and a symmetric domain, respectively.     

Optimal interval lengths for nonlocal boundary value problems associated with third order Lipschitz equations

For the third order differential equation, y^?=f(x,y,y^′,y^″), where f(x,y₁,y₂,y₃) is Lipschitz continuous in terms of yi, i=1,2,3, we obtain optimal bounds on the length of intervals on which there exist unique solutions of certain nonlocal three and four point boundary value problems. These bounds are obtained through an application of the Pontryagin Maximum Principle from the theory of optimal control.     

Tent spaces associated with semigroups of operators

We study tent spaces on general measure spaces (Ω,μ). We assume that there exists a semigroup of positive operators on Lp(Ω,μ) satisfying a monotone property but do not assume any geometric/metric structure on Ω. The semigroup plays the same role as integrals on cones and cubes in Euclidean spaces. We then study BMO spaces on general measure spaces and get an analogue of Fefferman's H¹-BMO duality theory. We also get a H¹-BMO duality inequality without assuming the monotone property. All the results are proved in a more general setting, namely for noncommutative Lp spaces.     

Existence of non-radially symmetric viscosity solutions to semilinear degenerate elliptic equations with radially symmetric coefficients in the plane, Part I

We prove the existence of non-radially symmetric solutions for semilinear degenerate elliptic equations with radially symmetric coefficients in the plane. We adapt the viscosity solution for the weak solution. The key arguments consist of the analysis of the structure of 2π-periodic solutions for the associated Laplace-Beltrami operator and construction of super- and sub-solutions which have the prescribed asymptotic structures.
