Rethinking pedagogy for second-order differential equations: a simplified approach to understanding well-posed problems

Knowing an equation has a unique solution is important from both a modelling and theoretical point of view. For over 70 years, the approach to learning and teaching ‘well posedness’ of initial value problems (IVPs) for second- and higher-order ordinary differential equations has involved transforming the problem and its analysis to a first-order system of equations. We show that this excursion is unnecessary and present a direct approach regarding second- and higher-order problems that does not require an understanding of systems.     

Weighted convergent and bounded solutions of vdterra difference systems with infinite delay

By using a weighted p-summable dichotomies and the contraction mapping principle we prove the existence of convergent and bounded solutions of Volterra difference equation with infinite delay     

Weighted pseudo almost automorphic functions and WPAA solutions to semilinear evolution equations

In this paper, we reveal several basic properties about nonlinear vector-valued weighted pseudo almost automorphic functions, including equivalence, completeness, translation invariance, composition theorem, and convolution theorem of these functions. We also give some concrete examples to illustrate our results. Finally, we obtain a new existence theorem of nonlinear weighted pseudo almost automorphic solutions for semilinear evolution equations in Banach spaces.

We study the existence of renormalized solutions for a class of nonlinear degenerated parabolic problem. The Carathéodory function satisfying the coercivity condition, the growth condition and only the large monotonicity. The data belongs to L^1(Ω).     

Multiplicity of Solutions of the Weighted p-Laplacian with Isolated Singularity and Diffusion Suppressed by Convection

In this paper, the authors study the multiplicity of solutions to the weighted p-Laplacian with isolated singularity and di?usion suppressed by convection ?div(|x|^α|?u|^p?2?u) + λ 1/|x|^β |?u|^p?2?u · x = |x|^γg(|x|) in B \ {0} subject to nonlinear Robin boundary value condition |x|^α|?u|^p?2?u · ?n = A ? ρu on ?B,where λ > 0, B ? R^N(N ≥ 2) is the unit ball centered at the origin, α > 0, p > 1, β ∈ R, γ > ?N, g ∈ C([0,1]) with g(0) > 0, A ∈ R, ρ > 0 and ?n is the unit outward normal. The same problem with di?usion promoted by convection, namely λ ≤ 0, has already been discussed by the last two authors (Song-Yin (2012)), where the existence, nonexistence and classi?cation of singularities for solutions are presented. Completely di?erent from [Song, H. J. and Yin, J. X., Removable isolated singularities of solutions to the weighted p-Laplacian with singular convection, Math. Meth. Appl. Sci., 35, 2012, 1089–1100], in the present case λ > 0, namely the di?usion is suppressed by the convection, non-singular solutions are not only existent but also may be in?nite which vary according only to the values of solutions at the isolated singular point. At the same time, the singular solutions may exist only if the di?usion dominates the convection.     

Combined effects for magnetic Laplace equations with lack of compactness

We are concerned with qualitative analysis of weak solutions for a class of magnetic Laplace equations with lack of compactness. By variational arguments, we establish related nonexistence, existence and multiplicity results.     

Convergence rate of solutions toward stationary solutions to a two-phase model with magnetic field in a half line

In this paper, we study an asymptotic behavior of a solution to the outflow problem for a two-phase model with magnetic field. Our idea mainly comes from [1] and [2] which investigate the asymptotic stability and convergence rates of stationary solutions to the outflow problem for an isentropic Navier–Stokes equation. For the two-phase model with magnetic field, we also obtain the asymptotic stability and convergence rates of global solutions towards corresponding stationary solutions if the initial perturbation belongs to the weighted Sobolev space. The proof is based on the weighted energy method.     

A generalized h-fractional Gronwall's inequality and its applications for nonlinear h-fractional difference systems with ‘maxima’

ABSTRACT

This paper gives a generalized h-fractional Gronwall's inequality. Applying this result, we prove the uniqueness and give bounds on solutions for a nonlinear h-fractional difference system with ‘maxima’. Finally, we give an example to illustrate one of our main results.     

On the almost periodic solutions of Lattices equations

By using the Ekeland variational principle and the calculus of variations in mean, we study the existence of almost periodic solutions of a class of advanced-retarded differential equation. We show that under some hypothesis, for any given almost periodic forcing term can be ‘perturbed’ so that the corresponding forced equation admits an almost periodic solution.     

On the Hénon equation: Asymptotic profile of ground states, II

This paper is concerned with analyzing the limiting behavior of the least energy solutions for the Hénon equation. We study the problems in bounded domains with smooth or non-smooth boundaries, and in particular we examine the effect of the boundary on the limiting profile of the solutions.     

Some heteroclinic solutions of a model of skin pattern formation

In this paper we study travelling wave solutions to a system of four non‐linear partial differential equations, which arise in a tissue interaction model for skin morphogenesis. Under the ‘small‐stress’ assumption we prove the existence and uniqueness (up to a translation) of solutions with the dermis and epidermis cell densities being positive, which are a perturbation of a uniform epidermal cell density. We discuss the problem of the minimal wave‐speed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A unifying approach to solve a class of rank-three programs involving linear and quadratic functions

The aim of this paper is two-fold. First, the so-called ‘optimal level solutions’ method is described in a new unifying framework with the aim to provide an algorithmic scheme able to approach various different classes of problems. Then, the ‘optimal level solutions’ method is used to solve a class of low-rank programmes involving linear and quadratic functions and having a polyhedral feasible region. In particular, the considered class of programmes covers, among all, rank-three d.c., multiplicative and fractional programmes. Some optimality conditions are used to improve the performance of the proposed algorithm.

A geometrical task is presented with multiple solutions using different methods, in order to show the connection between various branches of mathematics and to highlight the importance of providing the students with an extensive ‘mathematical toolbox’. Investigation of the property that appears in the task was carried out using a computerized tool.
