On the existence of positive solution for second-order multi-points boundary value problems

Here we are concerned with the existence of positive solution for autonomous and nonautonomous second-order systems with multi-points boundary conditions. For nonautonomous systems we use the Schauder's fixed point theorem in a suitable Banach space, while for autonomous ones using fixed point theorems is usually useless because of the existence of trivial solution and for this we employed a method based on the implicit function theorem and topological degree. In order to verify the obtained results, we have considered some definite systems to verify the results numerically.     

Existence and exponential convergence of almost periodic positive solution for Nicholson's blowflies discrete model with linear harvesting term

This paper deals with a discrete Nicholson's blowflies model with linear harvesting term. By using contraction mapping fixed point theorem, we obtain sufficient conditions for the existence of unique almost periodic positive solution. Moreover, we investigate exponential convergence of the almost periodic positive solution by Lyapunov functional. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Stability of solutions for Ky Fan's section theorem with some applications

In this paper, we prove that “most of” problems in Ky Fan's section theorem (in the sense of Baire category) are essential and that for any problem in Ky Fan's section theorem, there exists at least one essential component of its solution set. As applications, we deduce both the existence of essential components of the set of Ky Fan's points based on Ky Fan's minimax inequality theorem and the existence of essential components of the set of Nash equilibrium points for general n-person non-cooperative games with non-concave payoffs.     

Travelling waves of a predator–prey model with a spatiotemporal delay

This paper is concerned with the existence of traveling waves to a predator–prey model with a spatiotemporal delay. By analyzing the corresponding characteristic equations, the local stability of a positive steady state and each of boundary steady states are established, and the existence of Hopf bifurcation at the positive steady state is also discussed. By constructing a pair of upper–lower solutions and by using the cross‐iteration method as well as the Schauder's fixed‐point theorem, the existence of a traveling wave solution connecting the semi‐trivial steady state and the positive steady state is proved. Numerical simulations are carried out to illustrate the main theoretical results. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Existence and stability results for semilinear systems of impulsive stochastic differential equations with fractional Brownian motion

Some results on the existence and uniqueness of mild solution for a system of semilinear impulsive differential equations with infinite fractional Brownian motions are proved. The approach is based on Perov's fixed point theorem and a new version of Schaefer's fixed point theorem in generalized Banach spaces. The relationship between mild and weak solutions and the exponential stability of mild solutions are investigated as well. The abstract theory is illustrated with an example.     

A Generalization of a Volterra Integral Equation

Sufficient conditions for the existence of a solution to a non-linear Volterra integral equation are given for special cases of the general equation. In the generality given here, this equation has, apparently, not been studied before. The major technique used is the classical fixed point theorem of Banach. An apparent innovation of this article is the use of Banach's theorem to prove both the existence and find the location of a solution to the integral equation and prove the existence and find the location of the derivative to this solution, which exists almost everywhere. Furthermore, it is shown that for some particular choices of the constants, multiple solutions exist to this equation.     

Existence,uniqueness, and multiplicity results on positive solutions for a class of Hadamard-type fractional boundary value problem on an infinite interval

This paper focuses on a class of Hadamard-type fractional differential equation with nonlocal boundary conditions on an infinite interval. New existence, uniqueness, and multiplicity results of positive solutions are obtained by using Schauder's fixed point theorem, Banach's contraction mapping principle, the monotone iterative method, and the Avery-Peterson fixed point theorem. Examples are included to illustrate our main results.     

EXISTENCE OF PERIODIC SOLUTIONS OF A CLASS OF SECOND-ORDER NON-AUTONOMOUS SYSTEMS

Global martingale solution for the stochastic Boussinesq system with zero dissipation

We study the two-dimensional stochastic Boussinesq system with zero dissipation and multiplicative noise. We show the existence of a martingale solution by a priori estimates using stochastic calculus, and applications of Prokhorov's, Skorokhod's, and martingale representation theorems. Due to the lack of dissipation, the proof requires higher regularity estimates, taking advantage of the structure of the nonlinear term. Moreover, we obtain the existence of the pressure term via an application of de Rham's theorem for processes.     

The Exact Limits and Improved Decay Estimates for All Order Derivatives of the Global Weak Solutions to a Two-Dimensional Incompressible Dissipative Quasi-Geostrophic Equation

We will accomplish the exact limits for all order derivatives of the global weak solutions to a two-dimensional incompressible dissipative quasi-geostrophic equation. We will also establish the improved decay estimates with sharp rates for all order derivatives. We will consider two cases for the initial function and the external force and prove the optimal results for both cases. We will couple together existing ideas (including the Fourier transformation and its properties, Parseval''s identity, iteration technique, Lebesgue''s dominated convergence theorem, Gagliardo-Nirenberg-Sobolev interpolation inequality, squeeze theorem, Cauchy-Schwartz''s inequality, etc) existing results (the existence of global weak solutions, the existence of local smooth solution on $(T,\infty)$ and the elementary decay estimate with a sharp rate) and a few novel ideas to obtain the main results.

Stochastic Convolution-Type Heat Equations with Nonlinear Drift

Abstract

In this article, we study the solution of a class of stochastic convolution-type heat equations with nonlinear drift. For general initial condition and coefficients, we prove existence and uniqueness by using the characterization theorem and Banach's fixed-point theorem. We also give an implicit solution, which is a well-defined generalized stochastic process in a suitable distribution space. Finally, we investigate the continuous dependence of the solution on the initial data as well as the dependence on the coefficient.

Positive solutions for quasilinear second order differential equation

It is well known that the Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem is very very important. It was extensively used for studying the boundary value problems. In this article, the Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem is extended. The new fixed point theorem is obtained. The second order quasilinear differential equation (Φ (y′))′+a(t)f(t,y,y′)=0,, 0<t<1 subject to mixed boundary condition is studied, where f is a nonnegative continuous function, Φ (v)= |v|^p-2 v, p>1. We show the existence of at least one positive solution by using the new fixed point theorem in cone.

P. Katerinis obtained a sufficient condition for the existence of a 2-factor in a bipartite graph, in the spirit of Hall's theorem. We show a sufficient condition for the existence of a k-factor in a bipartite graph, as a generalization of Katerinis's theorem and Hall's theorem.     

Periodic solutions of a nonautonomous periodic model of population with continuous and discrete time

In this paper, we employ the Mawhin's continuation theorem to study the existence of positive periodic solutions of the nonautonomous periodic model of population with continuous and discrete time. It is interesting that the conditions to guarantee the existence of positive periodic solutions of discrete time model are similar to those for the corresponding continuous time model.

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.
