Positive Solutions for Third Order Three-Point Boundary Value Problems with $p$-Laplacian

In this paper, the existence of positive solutions of the following third-order three-point boundary value problem with $p$-Laplacian \begin{equation*} \begin{gathered} \ \ \left\{ \begin{array}{l}\displaystyle(\phi_{p}(u''(t)))''+f(t,u(t))=0,\ t\in (0,1),\u(0)=\alpha u(\eta), u(1)=\alpha u(\eta), u''(0)=0,\end{array} \right. \end{gathered} \end{equation*} is studied, where $\phi_{p}(s)=|s|^{p-2}s$, $p>1$. By using the fixed point index method, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one or at least two positive solutions for the above boundary value problem. The main result is demonstrated by providing an example as an application.     

Initial Boundary Value Problem of an Equation from Mathematical Finance

Consider the initial boundary value problem of the strong degenerate parabolic equation ?_(xx)u + u?_yu-?_tu = f(x, y, t, u),(x, y, t) ∈ Q_T = Ω×(0, T)with a homogeneous boundary condition. By introducing a new kind of entropy solution, according to Oleinik rules, the partial boundary condition is given to assure the well-posedness of the problem. By the parabolic regularization method, the uniform estimate of the gradient is obtained, and by using Kolmogoroff 's theorem, the solvability of the equation is obtained in BV(Q_T) sense. The stability of the solutions is obtained by Kruzkov's double variables method.

In this paper, we study mixed non-linear fractional delay differential equations with integral boundary conditions. We obtain an equivalence result between the proposed problem and non-linear Fredholm integral equation of the second kind. Further, we establish existence and uniqueness of positive solutions for the problem using Guo-Krasnoseleskii’s fixed point theorem and Banach contraction principle.     

Existence and Non-existence of Positive Solutions for a Discrete Fractional Boundary Value Problem

In this work, we deal with two-point boundary problem for a finite nabla fractional difference equation. First, we establish an associated Green''s function and state some of its properties. Under suitable conditions, we deduce the existence and non-existence of positive solutions to the considered problem. Finally, we construct a few examples to illustrate the established results.     

Fractional Differential Equations with Anti-Periodic Boundary Conditions

We are concerned with the existence of solutions of a class of fractional differential equations with anti-periodic boundary conditions involving the Caputo fractional derivative. We give two results: the first is based on Banach's fixed-point theorem, and the second is based on Schauder's fixed-point theorem.     

Boundary value problems in the theory of thermoporoelasticity for materials with double porosity

In this paper the linear quasi-static theory of thermoelasticity for solids with double porosity is considered. The system of equations of this theory is based on the equilibrium equations for solids with double porosity, conservation of fluid mass, constitutive equations, Darcy's law for materials with double porosity and Fourier's law for heat conduction. The basic internal and external boundary value problems (BVPs) of steady vibrations are formulated. The uniqueness and existence theorems for classical solutions of the above mentioned BVPs are proved by means of the potential method (boundary integral equation method) and the theory of singular integral equations.

一类新四阶边值问题的唯一性结果

In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a new fourth-order differential equation boundary value problem:{u(4)(t) = f(t, u(t))-b, 0 t 1,u(0) = u′(0) = u′(1) = u(3)(1) = 0,where f ∈ C([0,1] ×(-∞,+∞),(-∞, +∞)),b ≥ 0 is a constant. The novelty of this paper is that the boundary value problem is a new type and the method is a new fixed point theorem ofφ-(h,e)-concave operators.     

On the Vekua Pair in Spheroidal Geometry and its Role in Solving Boundary Value Problems

The Vekua pair forms a transformation between the kernel of the Laplace's and the kernel of the Helmholtz's operator. In fact, it provides an interior solution of the Helmholtz's equation once an interior harmonic function is given, and conversely, given an interior solution of the Helmhotz's equation an interior harmonic function is constructed. Consequently, it seems that the Vekua connection offers the perfect ground to obtain solutions of boundary value problems connected with Helmholtz operator. Vekua expressed his transformation in spherical coordinates. Nevertheless, when a change of coordinates is applied, the transformation assumes a much more complicated form, but it still remains a very useful technique for dealing with solutions of the equations of Laplace and Helmholtz. Here we extend the Vekua theory to a new integral transformation pair concerning solutions of the aforementioned operators in exterior domains. In addition, the form of the Vekua transformation is analyzed in spheroidal coordinates and its implication to boundary value problems is investigated.     

Poroelastodynamic Boundary Element Method in Time Domain: Numerical Aspects

Based on Biot's theory the governing equations for a poroelastic continuum are given as a coupled set of partial differential equations (PDEs) for the unknowns solid displacements and pore pressure. Using the Convolution Quadrature Method (CQM) proposed by Lubich a boundary time stepping procedure is established based only on the fundamental solutions in Laplace domain. To improve the numerical behavior of the CQM-based Boundary Element Method (BEM) dimensionless variables are introduced and different choices studied. This will be performed as a numerical study at the example of a poroelastic column. Summarizing the results, the normalization to time and spatial variable as well as on Young's modulus yields the best numerical behavior. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Asymptotic Behaviour of Solutions of a Multidimensional Moving Boundary Problem Modeling Tumor Growth

We study a moving boundary problem modeling the growth of multicellular spheroids or in vitro tumors. This model consists of two elliptic equations describing the concentration of a nutrient and the distribution of the internal pressure in the tumor's body, respectively. The driving mechanism of the evolution of the tumor surface is governed by Darcy's law. Finally surface tension effects on the moving boundary are taken into account which are considered to counterbalance the internal pressure. To put our analysis on a solid basis, we first state a local well-posedness result for general initial data. However, the main purpose of our study is the investigation of the asymptotic behaviour of solutions as time goes to infinity. As a result of a centre manifold analysis, we prove that if the initial domain is sufficiently close to a Euclidean ball in the C ^m+μ-norm with m ≥ 3 and μ ∈ (0,1), then the solution exists globally and the corresponding domains converge exponentially fast to some (possibly shifted) ball, provided the surface tension coefficient γ is larger than a positive threshold value γ_*. In the case 0 < γ < γ_* the radially symmetric equilibrium is unstable.

Highly Accurate Numerical Solutions of Elliptic Boundary Value Problems on General Regions

Boundary element approximation for Maxwell's eigenvalue problem

We introduce a new method for computing eigenvalues of the Maxwell operator with boundary finite elements. On bounded domains with piecewise constant material coefficients, the Maxwell solution for fixed wave number can be represented by boundary integrals, which allows to reduce the eigenvalue problem to a nonlinear problem for determining the wave number along with boundary and interface traces. A Galerkin discretization yields a smooth nonlinear matrix eigenvalue problem that is solved by Newton's method or, alternatively, the contour integral method. Several numerical results including an application to the band structure computation of a photonic crystal illustrate the efficiency of this approach. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Existence of Global Weak Solutions for Coupled Thermoelasticity under Non-Linear Boundary Conditions

The existence of global weak solutions for coupled thermoelasticity with non-linear contact boundary conditions corresponding to the friction problem is considered. The time-continuous Galerkin method and a priori estimates obtained with Gronwall's inequality in connection with embedding theorems are applied to accomplish a straightforward generalization of one of the results proved by Martins and Oden 9.

Modified Curvatures on Manifolds with Boundary and Applications

To study the reflecting diffusion processes on manifolds with boundary, some new curvature operators are introduced by using the Bakry-Emery curvature and the second fundamental form. As applications, the gradient estimates, log-Harnack inequality and Poincaré/log-Sobolev inequalities are investigated for the Neumann semigroup on manifolds with boundary.     

Boundary value problems for the one-dimensional Willmore equation

The one-dimensional Willmore equation is studied under Navier as well as under Dirichlet boundary conditions. We are interested in smooth graph solutions, since for suitable boundary data, we expect the stable solutions to be among these. In the first part, classical symmetric solutions for symmetric boundary data are studied and closed expressions are deduced. In the Navier case, one has existence of precisely two solutions for boundary data below a suitable threshold, precisely one solution on the threshold and no solution beyond the threshold. This effect reflects that we have a bending point in the corresponding bifurcation diagram and is not due to that we restrict ourselves to graphs. Under Dirichlet boundary conditions we always have existence of precisely one symmetric solution. In the second part, we consider boundary value problems with nonsymmetric data. Solutions are constructed by rotating and rescaling suitable parts of the graph of an explicit symmetric solution. One basic observation for the symmetric case can already be found in Euler’s work. It is one goal of the present paper to make Euler’s observation more accessible and to develop it under the point of view of boundary value problems. Moreover, general existence results are proved.     

Discrete Sturm-Liouville Problems With Parameter in the Boundary Conditions

This paper deals with discrete second order Sturm-Liouville problems in which the parameter that is part of the Sturm-Liouville difference equation also appears linearly in the boundary conditions. An appropriate Green's formula is developed for this problem, which leads to the fact that the eigenvalues are simple, and that they are real under appropriate restrictions. A boundary value problem can be expressed by a system of equations, and finding solutions to a boundary value problem is equivalent to finding the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the coefficient matrix of a related linear system. Thus, the behavior of eigenvalues and eigenvectors is investigated using techniques in linear algebra, and a linear-algebraic proof is given that the eigenvalues are distinct under appropriate restrictions. The operator is extended to a self-adjoint operator and an expansion theorem is proved.
