Existence and Iterative Approximations of Solutions for Certain Functional Equation and Inequality

This paper deals with a functional equation and inequality arising in dynamic programming of multistage decision processes. Using several fixed-point theorems due to Krasnoselskii, Boyd–Wong and Liu, we prove the existence and/or uniqueness and iterative approximations of solutions, bounded solutions and bounded continuous solutions for the functional equation in two Banach spaces and a complete metric space, respectively. Utilizing the monotone iterative method, we establish the existence and iterative approximations of solutions and nonpositive solutions for the functional inequality in a complete metric space. Six examples which dwell upon the importance of our results are also included.     

A Generalized Cubic Functional Equation

In this paper, we determine the general solution of the functional equation f1 （2x ＋ y） ＋ f2（2x - y） = f3（x ＋ y） ＋ f4（x - y） ＋ f5（x） without assuming any regularity condition on the unknown functions f1,f2,f3, f4, f5 ： R→R. The general solution of this equation is obtained by finding the general solution of the functional equations f（2x ＋ y） ＋ f（2x - y） = g（x ＋ y） ＋ g（x - y） ＋ h（x） and f（2x ＋ y） - f（2x - y） = g（x ＋ y） - g（x - y）. The method used for solving these functional equations is elementary but exploits an important result due to Hosszfi. The solution of this functional equation can also be determined in certain type of groups using two important results due to Szekelyhidi.

A Functional Equation Arising from Simultaneous Utility Representations

Suppose that two classes of utility representations of preferences, one additive and one increasing increments, hold simultaneously over uncertain binary alternatives (gambles). This assumption leads to the functional equation $$ f[h(x-y)+y]=f[h(x)]-f[h(y)]+f(y)\qquad (\kappa >x\geq y\geq 0), $$ and to the inequality h(z) ≤ z (z ∈ [0, κ[), where the functions ? and h are strictly increasing maps of the real interval [0, κ[ onto the real intervals [0, λ[ and [0, μ[, respectively, κ, λ, μ ∈]0, ∞]. We present all solutions under the additional assumption of (first-order) differentiability.     

A Characteristic Equation for Non-autonomous Partial Functional Differential Equations

We characterize the exponential dichotomy of non-autonomous partial functional differential equations by means of a spectral condition extending known characteristic equations for the autonomous or time-periodic case. From this we deduce robustness results. We further study the almost periodicity of solutions to the inhomogeneous equation. Our approach is based on the spectral theory of evolution semigroups.     

On a Functional Differential Equation

This paper considers some analytical and numerical aspects ofthe problem defined by an equation or systems of equations ofthe type (d/dt)y(t) = ay(t)+by(t), with a given initial conditiony(0) = 1. Series, integral representations and asymptotic expansions fory are obtained and discussed for various ranges of the parametersa, b and (> 0), and for all positive values of the argumentt. A perturbation solution is constructed for |1–| <<1, and confirmed by direct computation. For > 1 the solutionis not unique, and an analysis is included of the eigensolutionsfor which y(0) = 0. Two numerical methods are analysed and illustrated. The first,using finite differences, is applicable for < 1, and twotechniques are demonstrated for accelerating the convergenceof the finite-difference solution towards the true solution.The second, an adaptation of the Lanczos method, is applicablefor any > 0, though an error analysis is available onlyfor < 1. Numerical evidence suggests that for > 1 themethod still gives good approximations to some solution of theproblem.

某类$q$差分方程亚纯解的性质

对于一个有穷非零复数$q$, 若下列$q$差分方程存在一个非常数亚纯解$f$, $$f(qz)f(\frac{z}{q})=R(z,f(z))=\frac{P(z,f(z))}{Q(z,f(z))}=\frac{\sum_{j=0}^{\tilde{p}}a_j(z)f^{j}(z)}{\sum_{k=0}^{\tilde{q}}b_k(z)f^{k}(z)},\eqno(\dag)$$ 其中 $\tilde{p}$和$\tilde{q}$是非负整数, $a_j$ ($0\leq j\leq \tilde{p}$)和$b_k$ ($0\leq k\leq \tilde{q}$)是关于$z$的多项式满足$a_{\tilde{p}}\not\equiv 0$和$b_{\tilde{q}}\not\equiv 0$使得$P(z,f(z))$和$Q(z,f(z))$是关于$f(z)$互素的多项式, 且$m=\tilde{p}-\tilde{q}\geq 3$. 则在$|q|=1$时得到方程$(\dag)$不存在亚纯解, 在$m\geq 3$和$|q|\neq 1$时得到方程$(\dag)$解$f$的下级的下界估计.     

A Functional Equation Of J.A. Baker Involving Integral Means

The functional equation $$f(x)={1\over 2}\int^{x+1}_{x-1}f(t)\ dt\ \ \ {\rm for}\ \ \ x\ \in\ {\rm R}$$ has the linear functions ?(x) = a + bx (a, b ∈ ?) as trivial solutions. It is shown that there are two kinds of nontrivial solutions, (i) ?(x) = eλ_i ^x (i = 1, 2, …), where the λ_i∈ ? are the fixed points of the map z ? sinh z, and (ii) C^∞-solutions ? for which the values in the interval [?1,1] can be prescribed arbitrarily, but with the provision that ?^(j)(? 1) = ?^(j)(0) = ?^(j)(1) = 0 for all j = 0, 1, 2 …

?(x + y) - ?(x) - ?(y) = ?(x ^?1 + y ^?l) are identical to those of the Cauchy equation ?(xy) = ?(x) + ?(y) when ? is a function from the positive real numbers into the reals. In the present article, we prove this equivalence for functions mapping the set of nonzero elements of a field (excluding ?₂) .
