Admissibility for discrete Volterra equations

In this paper we develop the theory of admissibility for linear discrete Volterra operators and obtain several necessary and sufficient conditions for admissibility in various sequence spaces. Using the results obtained, we study the existence of solutions (such as bounded, exponential or convergent solutions), of linear or nonlinear discrete Volterra summation equations.     

MULTILEVEL AUGMENTATION METHODS FOR SOLVING OPERATOR EQUATIONS

We introduce multilevel augmentation methods for solving operator equations based on direct sum decompositions of the range space of the operator and the solution space of the operator equation and a matrix splitting scheme. We establish a general setting for the analysis of these methods, showing that the methods yield approximate solutions of the same convergence order as the best approximation from the subspace. These augmentation methods allow us to develop fast, accurate and stable nonconventional numerical algorithms for solving operator equations. In particular, for second kind equations, special splitting techniques are proposed to develop such algorithms. These algorithms are then applied to solve the linear systems resulting from matrix compression schemes using wavelet-like functions for solving Fredholm integral equations of the second kind. For this special case, a complete analysis for computational complexity and convergence order is presented. Numerical examples are included to demonstra     

Long Time Stability in Perturbations of Completely Resonant PDE's

In this paper we will present some results concerning long time stability in nonlinear perturbations of resonant linear PDE's with discrete spectrum. In particular we will prove that if the perturbation satisfies a suitable nondegeneracy condition then there exists a periodic like trajectory, i.e. a closed curve in the phase space with the property that solutions starting close to it remain close to it for very long times. Secondly, in the special case where the average of the main part of the perturbation is integrable we will prove that if the energy is initially essentially concentrated on finitely many modes, then along the corresponding solutions all the actions are approximatively constant for very long times. Applications to nonlinear wave and Schrödinger equations on a segment will also be given.     

Two classes of linear equations of discrete convolution type with harmonic singular operators

In this paper, we investigate two classes of linear equations of discrete convolution type with harmonic singular operator. Using the Laurent transform theory, we turn the above linear equations into Riemann boundary value problems. Then, the solutions of the equations are obtained in the class of Hölder continuous functions.     

Systems of matrix rational differential equations arising in connection with linear stochastic systems with Markovian jumping

In this paper, a class of systems of matrix nonlinear differential equations containing as particular cases the systems of coupled Riccati differential equations arising in connection with control of some linear stochastic systems is considered.The system of differential equations considered in this paper are converted in a suitable nonlinear differential equation on a finite-dimensional Hilbert space adequately choosen.This allows us to use the positivity properties of the linear evolution operator defined by the linear differential equations of Lyapunov type.Our aim is to investigate properties of stabilizing and bounded solutions of the considered differential equations and to obtain some conditions ensuring the existence of such solutions.Conditions providing the existence of a maximal solution (minimal solution respectively) with respect to some classes of global solutions are presented. It is shown that if the coefficients of the equations are periodic functions all these special solutions (stabilizing, maximal, minimal) are periodic functions, too.Whenever possible the probabilistic arguments were avoided and so the results proved in the paper appear as results in the field of differential equations with interest in themselves.

Amalgamations of the Painlevé Equations

We present new hierarchies of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs) that are generalizations of the Painlevé equations. These hierarchies contain the Painlevé equations as special cases. We emphasize the sixth-order ODEs. Special solutions for one of them are expressed via the general solutions of the P ₁ and P ₂ equations and special cases of the P ₃ and P ₅ equations. Four of the six Painlevé equations can be considered special cases of these sixth-order ODEs. We give linear representations for solving the Cauchy problems for the hierarchy equations using the inverse monodromy transform.     

A second-order pseudo-transient method for steady-state problems

This article gives a second pseudo-transient method for a special system of nonlinear equations, which arises from chemical reaction rate equations. This method uses a special second-order Rosenbrock method as the discrete difference scheme, which satisfies a linear conservation law. Moreover, it adaptively adjusts the time step in inverse proportion to an arithmetic mean of the current residual and the previous residual at every iteration step. For a singular system of nonlinear equations, under some standard assumptions, local convergence of the new method is addressed. Finally, some promise numerical results are also reported.

Backward error,sensitivity, and refinement of computed solutions of algebraic Riccati equations

In this paper, a new backward error criterion, together with a sensitivity measure, is presented for assessing solution accuracy of nonsymmetric and symmetric algebraic Riccati equations (AREs). The usual approach to assessing reliability of computed solutions is to employ standard perturbation and sensitivity results for linear systems and to extend them further to AREs. However, such methods are not altogether appropriate since they do not take account of the underlying structure of these matrix equations. The approach considered here is to first compute the backward error of a computed solution X? that measures the amount by which data must be perturbed so that X? is the exact solution of the perturbed original system. Conventional perturbation theory is used to define structured condition numbers that fully respect the special structure of these matrix equations. The new condition number, together with the backward error of computed solutions, provides accurate estimates for the sensitivity of solutions. Optimal perturbations are then used in an iterative refinement procedure to give further more accurate approximations of actual solutions. The results are derived in their most general setting for nonsymmetric and symmetric AREs. This in turn offers a unifying framework through which it is possible to establish similar results for Sylvester equations, Lyapunov equations, linear systems, and matrix inversions.     

The existence of nonoscillatory solutions of higher order nonlinear neutral equations

In this work, we consider the existence of nonoscillatory solutions of variable coefficient higher order nonlinear neutral differential equations. Our results include as special cases some well-known results for linear and nonlinear equations of first, second and higher order. We use the Banach contraction principle to obtain new sufficient conditions for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions.     

A class of discrete time generalized Riccati equations

In this paper, a class of discrete-time backward non-linear equations defined on some ordered Hilbert spaces of symmetric matrices is considered. The problem of the existence of some global solutions is investigated. The class of considered discrete-time non-linear equations contains, as special cases, a great number of difference Riccati equations both from the deterministic and the stochastic framework. The results proved in the paper provide the sets of necessary and sufficient conditions that guarantee the existence of some special solutions of the considered equations as: the maximal solution, the stabilizing solution and the minimal positive semi-definite solution. These conditions are expressed in terms of the feasibility of some suitable systems of linear matrix inequalities (LMI). One shows that in the case of the equations with periodic coefficients to verify the conditions that guarantee the existence of the maximal or the stabilizing solution, we have to check the solvability of some systems of LMI with a finite number of inequations. The proofs are based on some suitable properties of discrete-time linear equations defined by the positive operators on some ordered Hilbert spaces chosen adequately. The results derived in this paper provide useful conditions that guarantee the existence of the maximal solution or the stabilizing solution for different classes of difference matrix Riccati equations involved in many problems of robust control both in the deterministic and the stochastic framework. The proofs are deterministic and are accessible to the readers less familiarized with the stochastic reasonings.     

The uniqueness of solutions to discrete, vector, two-point boundary value problems

Difference equations which may arise as discrete approximations to two-point boundary value problems for systems of second-order, ordinary differential equations are investigated and conditions are formulated under which solutions to the discrete problem are unique. Some existence, uniqueness implies existence, and convergence theorems for solutions to the discrete problem are also presented.     

On the relation between the continuous and discrete Painlevé equations

A method for deriving difference equations (the discrete Painlevé equations in particular) from the Bäcklund transformations of the continuous Painlevé equations is discussed. This technique can be used to derive several of the known discrete painlevé equations (in particular, the first and second discrete Painlevé equations and some of their alternative versions). The Painlevé equations possess hierarchies of rational solutions and one-parameter families of solutions expressible in terms of the classical special functions for special values of the parameters. Hence, the aforementioned relations can be used to generate hierarchies of exact solutions for the associated discrete Painlevé equations. Exact solutions of the Painlevé equations simultaneously satisfy both a differential equation and a difference equation, analogously to the special functions.

First and second order linear dynamic equations on time scales

We consider first and second order linear dynamic equations on a time scale. Such equations contain as special cases differential equations, difference equationsq— difference equations, and others. Important properties of the exponential function for a time scale are presented, and we use them to derive solutions of first and second order linear dyamic equations with constant coefficients. Wronskians are used to study equations with non—constant coefficients. We consider the reduction of order method as well as the method of variation of constants for the nonhomogeneous case. Finally, we use the exponential function to present solutions of the Euler—Cauchy dynamic equation on a time scale.     

On exact convergence rates for solutions of linear systems of Volterra difference equations†

The asymptotic behaviour of the solution of general linear Volterra non-convolution difference equations on a finite dimensional space, is investigated. It is proved under appropriate assumptions that the solution converges to a limit, which is in general non-trivial. These results are then used to obtain the exact rate of decay of solutions of a class of convolution Volterra difference equations, which have no characteristic roots. In particular, we obtain the exact rate of convergence of the solution of equations whose kernel does not converge exponentially. A useful formula for the weighted limit of a discrete convolution is also obtained.     

On exact rates of decay of solutions of linear systems of Volterra equations with delay

This paper considers the resolvent of a finite-dimensional linear convolution Volterra integral equation. The main results give conditions which ensure that the exact rate of decay of the resolvent can be determined using a positive weight function related to the kernel. The decay rates can be exponential or subexponential. Many other related results on exact rates of exponential and subexponential decay of solutions of Volterra integro-differential equations are given. We also present an application to a linear compartmental system with discrete and continuous lags.
