The existence of global solutions (in time) is established under weak assumptions onf. An application in heat flow is also indicated.     

Time periodic solutions of nonlinear wave equations

Existence and regularity of solutions of $$(1)u_{tt} - u_{xx} = \varepsilon K(x,t,u,u_t )0< x< \pi ,0 \leqslant t \leqslant 2\pi $$ together with the periodicity and boundary conditions $$(2)u(x,t + 2\pi ) = u(x,t),u(0,t) = 0 = u(\pi ,t)$$ is studied both with an without the dissipation u_t. A solution is a pair (χ, u). A main feature of interest here is an infinite dimensional biofurcation problem.

WEAK TRAVELLING WAVE FRONT SOLUTIONS OF GENERALIZED DIFFUSION EQUATIONS WITH REACTION

The author demonstrate that the two-point boundary value problem {p′(s)=f′(s)-λp^β(s)for s∈(0,1);β∈(0,1),p(0)=p(1)=0,p(s)&gt;0 if s∈(0,1),has a solution(λ^-，p^-（s）),where |λ^-| is the smallest parameter,under the minimal stringent restrictions on f(s), by applying the shooting and regularization methods. In a classic paper, Kohmogorov et.al.studied in 1937 a problem which can be converted into a special case of the above problem. The author also use the solution(λ^-,p^-(s)) to construct a weak travelling wave front solution u(x,t)=y(ξ),ξ=x-Ct,C=λ^-N/(N+1),of the generalized diffusion equation with reaction δ/δx（k（u）|δu/δx|^n-1 δu/δx)-δu/δt=g（u），where N&gt;0,k(s)&gt;0 a.e.on(0,1),and f(a):=n+1/N∫0ag(t)k^1/N(t)dt is absolutely continuous ou[0,1],while y(ξ) is increasing and absolutely continuous on (-∞,+∞) and (k(y(ξ))|y′(ξ)|^N)′=g(y(ξ))-Cy′(ξ)a.e.on(-∞，+∞）,y(-∞)=0,y(+∞)=1.

Stability of the Faedo-Galerkin approximation of nonlinear wave-equations

Present investigation analyses the Ljapunov stability of the systems of ordinary differential equations arising in then-th step of the Faedo-Galerkin approximation for the nonlinear wave-equation $$\begin{gathered} u_{tt} - u_{xx} + M(u) = 0 \hfill \\ u(0,t) = u(1,t) = 0 \hfill \\ u(x,0) = \Phi (x); u_t (x,0) = \Psi (x). \hfill \\ \end{gathered}$$ For the nonlinearities of the classM (u)=u ^{2 p+1} ,p ∈N, ann-independent stability result is given. Thus also the stability of the original equation is shown.     

The Chebyshev Spectral Method for Burgers-Like Equations

The Chebyshev polynomials have good approximation properties which are not affected by boundary values. They have higher resolution near the boundary than in the interior and are suitable for problems in which the solution changes rapidly near the boundary. Also, they can be calculated by FFT. Thus they are used mostly for initial-boundary value problems for P.D.E.'s (see [1, 3-4, 6, 8-11]). Maday and Quarterom discussed the convergence of Legendre and Chebyshev spectral approximations to the steady Burgers equation. In this paper we consider Burgers-like equations.$$\begin{cases}∂_iu+F(u)_x-vu_{zx}=0, & -1≤x≤1, 0＜t≤T \\ u (-1,t) =u (1,t) =0, & 0≤t≤T & (0.1)\\ u (x,0) =u_0(x), & -1≤x≤1\end{cases}$$ where $F\in C(R)$ and there exists a positive function $A\in C(R)$ and a constant $p＞1$ such that $$|F(z+y)-F(z)|\leq A(z)(|y|+|y|^p).$$ We develop a Chebyshev spectral scheme and a pseudospectral scheme for solving (0.1) and establish their generalized stability and convergence.     

On Global Solvability of Nonlinear Kirchhoff Model in Infinitely Increasing Moving Domains

The purpose of this article is to study the existence and uniqueness of global solution for the nonlinear hyperbolic-parabolic equation of Kirchhoff-Carrier type: $$ u_{tt} + \mu u_t - M\left (\int _{\Omega _t}|\nabla u|^2dx\right )\Delta u = 0\quad \hbox {in}\ \Omega _t\quad \hbox {and}\quad u|_{\Gamma _t} = \dot \gamma $$ where $ \Omega _t = \{x\in {\shadR}^2 | \ x = y\gamma (t), \ y\in \Omega \} $ with boundary o t , w is a positive constant and n ( t ) is a positive function such that lim t M X n ( t ) = + X . The real function M is such that $ M(r) \geq m_0 \gt 0 \forall r\in [0,\infty [ $ .     

Multiple periodic solutions of a superlinear forced wave equation

We study the existence of forced vibrations of nonlinear wave equation: (*) $$\begin{array}{*{20}c} {u_{tt} - u_{xx} + g(u) = f(x,t),} & {(x,t) \in (0,\pi ) \times R,} \\ {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {u(0,t) = u(\pi ,t) = 0,} \\ {u(x,t + 2\pi ) = u(x,t),} \\ \end{array} } & {\begin{array}{*{20}c} {t \in R,} \\ {(x,t) \in (0,\pi ) \times R,} \\ \end{array} } \\ \end{array}$$ whereg(ξ)∈C(R,R)is a function with superlinear growth and f(x, t) is a function which is 2π-periodic in t. Under the suitable growth condition on g(ξ), we prove the existence of infinitely many solution of (*) for any given f(x, t).     

Finite difference method of first boundary problem for quasilinear parabolic systems (IV)

More work is done to study the explicit, weak and strong implicit difference solution for the first boundary problem of quasilinear parabolic system: $$\begin{gathered} u_t = ( - 1)^{M + 1} A(x,t,u, \cdots ,u_x M - 1)u_x 2M + f(x,t,u, \cdots u_x 2M - 1), \hfill \\ (x,t) \in Q_T = \left| {0< x< l,0< t \leqslant T} \right|, \hfill \\ u_x ^k (0,t) = u_x ^k (l,t) = 0 (k = 0,1, \cdots ,M - 1),0< t \leqslant T, \hfill \\ u(x,0) = \varphi (x),0 \leqslant x \leqslant l, \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ whereu, ?, andf arem-dimensional vector valued functions, A is anm×m positively definite matrix, and $u_t = \frac{{\partial u}}{{\partial t}},u_x ^k = \frac{{\partial ^k u}}{{\partial x^k }}$ . For this problem, the convergence of iteration for the general difference schemes is proved.

A maximum principle for time-lag control problems with bounded state

A maximum principle is obtained for control problems involving a constant time lag τ in both the control and state variables. The problem considered is that of minimizing $$I(x) = \int_{t^0 }^{t^1 } {L (t,x(t), x(t - \tau ), u(t), u(t - \tau )) dt} $$ subject to the constraints 1 $$\begin{gathered} \dot x(t) = f(t,x(t),x(t - \tau ),u(t),u(t - \tau )), \hfill \\ x(t) = \phi (t), u(t) = \eta (t), t^0 - \tau \leqslant t \leqslant t^0 , \hfill \\ \end{gathered} $$ 1 $$\psi _\alpha (t,x(t),x(t - \tau )) \leqslant 0,\alpha = 1, \ldots ,m,$$ 1 $$x^i (t^1 ) = X^i ,i = 1, \ldots ,n$$ . The results are obtained using the method of Hestenes.     

A time fractional functional differential equation driven by the fractional Brownian motion

Let $B^H$ be a fractional Brownian motion with Hurst index $H>\frac12$. In this paper, we prove the global existence and uniqueness of the equation $$ \begin{cases} ^CD_t^{\gamma}x(t)=f(x_t)+G(x_t)\frac{d}{dt}B^H(t),\ \ \ \ &t\in(0,T], \x(t)=\eta(t), \ \ \ \ \ &t\in[-r,0], \end{cases} $$ where $\max\{H,2-2H\}<\gamma<1$, $^CD_t^{\gamma}$ is the Caputo derivative, and $x_t\in \mathcal{C}_r=\mathcal{C}([-r,0],\mathbb{R})$ with $x_t(u)=x(t+u),u\in[-r,0]$. We also study the dependence of the solution on the initial condition.     

Carleman estimates for degenerate parabolic operators with applications to null controllability

We prove an estimate of Carleman type for the one dimensional heat equation $$ u_t - \left( {a\left( x \right)u_x } \right)_x + c\left( {t,x} \right)u = h\left( {t,x} \right),\quad \left( {t,x} \right) \in \left( {0,T} \right) \times \left( {0,1} \right), $$ where a(·) is degenerate at 0. Such an estimate is derived for a special pseudo-convex weight function related to the degeneracy rate of a(·). Then, we study the null controllability on [0, 1] of the semilinear degenerate parabolic equation $$ u_t - \left( {a\left( x \right)u_x } \right)_x + f\left( {t,x,u} \right) = h\left( {t,x} \right)\chi _\omega \left( x \right), $$ where (t, x) ∈(0, T) × (0, 1), ω=(α, β) ⊂⊂ [0, 1], and f is locally Lipschitz with respect to u.

Asymptotic behavior relative to a large parameter of the solution of the Fok-Klein-Gordon equation in the case of a discontinuous initial condition

One considers the problem of the asymptotic behavior for K→+∞ of the solution of the Cauchy problem $$u_{tt} - u_{xx} + \kappa ^2 u = 0; u|_{t = 0} = \theta (x), u_t |_{t = 0} = 0 (t > 0 - fixed)$$ Hereθ(x) is the Heaviside function. In the neighborhood of the characteristics x=±t function u(x,t)_?2 oscillates exceptionally fast (the wavelength is of order k^?2). Near the t axis the asymptotics of u(x,t) contains the Fresnel integral.
