On impulsive functional differential inclusions with Hille-Yosida operators in Banach spaces

We consider a semilinear functional differential inclusion with infinite delay and impulse characteristics in a Banach space assuming that its linear part is a non-densely defined Hille-Yosida operator. We assume that the multivalued nonlinearity of upper Carathèodory or almost lower semicontinuous type satisfies a regularity condition expressed in terms of the measures of noncompactness. We apply the theory of integrated semigroups and the theory of condensing multivalued maps to obtain local and global existence results. The application to an optimization problem for an impulsive feedback control system is given.     

Approximate controllability of second-order distributed implicit functional systems

In this paper we study the approximate controllability of control systems with states and controls in Hilbert spaces, and described by a second-order semilinear abstract functional differential equation with infinite delay. Initially we establish a characterization for the approximate controllability of a second-order abstract linear system and, in the last section, we compare the approximate controllability of a semilinear abstract functional system with the approximate controllability of the associated linear system.     

Asymptotic behavior of bounded solutions to a nonhomogeneous second-order evolution equation of monotone type

By using previous results of Djafari Rouhani [B.

Appl. 151 (1990) 226-235] for dissipative systems, we study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the following system of second-order nonhomogeneous evolution equations:

     

Wave propagation for a two-component lattice dynamical system arising in strong competition models

We study a Lotka-Volterra type competition system with bistable nonlinearity in which the habitat is divided into discrete niches. We show that there exist non-monotone stationary solutions when the migration coefficients are sufficiently small. Also, we prove that the propagation failure phenomenon occurs. Finally, we focus on the traveling wave with nonzero wave speed. By investigating the asymptotic behavior of tails of wave profiles, we show that nonzero speed wave profiles are monotone. Moreover, the nonzero wave speed is unique in the sense that the wave cannot propagate with two different nonzero wave speeds.     

Uniqueness and stability of traveling waves for periodic monostable lattice dynamical system

We study the traveling waves for a lattice dynamical system with monostable nonlinearity in periodic media. It is well known that there exists a minimal wave speed such that a traveling wave exists if and only if the wave speed is above this minimal wave speed. In this paper, we first derive a stability theorem for certain waves of non-minimal speed. Moreover, we show that wave profiles of a given speed are unique up to translations.

On certain classes of functional inclusions with causal operators in Banach spaces

We introduce the notion of a multivalued causal operator and consider an abstract Cauchy problem in a Banach space for various classes of functional inclusions with causal operators. The methods of the topological degree theory for condensing maps are applied to obtain local and global existence results for this problem and to study the continuous dependence of a solution set on initial data. As application we generalize some existence results for semilinear functional differential inclusions and Volterra integro-differential inclusions with delay.     

Loss of positivity in a nonlinear scalar heat equation

Using the theory of fixed point index, we discuss the existence of nontrivial (multiple) solutions of a nonlinear scalar heat equation with nonlocal boundary conditions depending on a positive parameter. Solutions lose positivity as the parameter decreases. For a certain parameter range, not all solutions can be positive but there are positive solutions for certain types of nonlinearity. We also prove a uniqueness result.     

Solvability and continuous dependence results for second order nonlinear evolution inclusions with a Volterra-type operator

The paper deals with second order nonlinear evolution inclusions and their applications. We study evolution inclusions involving a Volterra-type integral operator, which are considered within the framework of an evolution triple of spaces. First, we deliver a result on the unique solvability of the Cauchy problem for the inclusion by combining a surjectivity result for multivalued pseudomonotone operators and the Banach contraction principle. Next, we provide a theorem on the continuous dependence of the solution to the inclusion with respect to the operators involved in the problem. Finally, we consider a dynamic frictional contact problem of viscoelasticity for materials with long memory and indicate how the result on evolution inclusion is applicable to the model of the contact problem.     

Approximating solutions of Hammerstein type equations in Banach spaces

Abstract

Let X be a real Banach space and X^? be its dual. Let F: X → X^? and K: X^? → X be Lipschitz monotone mappings. In this paper an explicit iterative scheme is constructed for approximating solutions of the Hammerstein type equation, 0 = u + KF u, when they exist. Strong convergence of the scheme is obtained under appropriate conditions. Our results improve and unify many of the results in the literature.     

Algorithms with strong convergence for a system of nonlinear variational inequalities in Banach spaces

In this paper, a general system of nonlinear variational inequality problem in Banach spaces was considered, which includes some existing problems as special cases. For solving this nonlinear variational inequality problem, we construct two methods which were inspired and motivated by Korpelevich’s extragradient method. Furthermore, we prove that the suggested algorithms converge strongly to some solutions of the studied variational inequality.     

Einige Existenz- und Einschließungssätze für Fixpunkte expandierender Integraloperatoren

Some existence theorems for fixed points of nonlinear integral operators expanding a cone in a Banach space in the sense of Krasnoselskii [5] are given. Using special cones we find pointwise inclusions for the fixed points. The question of finding the best bounds for the fixed points leads to a nonlinear optimization problem with infinitely many restrictions.

     

Strong convergence theorems for 2-generalized hybrid mappings in Hilbert spaces

In this paper, we prove a strong convergence theorem of Halpern’s type for 2-generalized hybrid mappings in a Hilbert space. We also deal with strong convergence theorems by hybrid methods for these nonlinear mappings in a Hilbert space.     

Abstract wave equations with generalized Wentzell boundary conditions

We introduce a general framework which allows to verify if abstract wave equations with generalized Wentzell boundary conditions are well-posed, i.e., are governed by a cosine family. As an example we study wave equations for second order differential operators on C[0,1] with non-local Wentzell-type boundary conditions. Moreover, in Appendix A we give a perturbation result for sine and cosine families.     

Global existence of a restoring force realizing a prescribed half-period

We consider an inverse problem to determine a nonlinearity of an autonomous differential equation so that each solution of the equation has a half-period that is a prescribed function of a half-amplitude of the solution. A global existence of the nonlinearity is proved under the assumption that the prescribed function is Lipschitz continuous. A reconstructive way of the nonlinearity is also given.     

A modified Halpern-type iteration algorithm for a family of hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings and systems of equilibrium problems in Banach spaces

In this paper, we prove strong convergence theorems by the hybrid method for a family of hemi-relatively nonexpansive mappings in a Banach space. Our results improve and extend the corresponding results given by Qin et al. [Xiaolong Qin, Yeol Je Cho, Shin Min Kang, Haiyun Zhou, Convergence of a modified Halpern-type iteration algorithm for quasi-?-nonexpansive mappings, Appl. Math. Lett. 22 (2009) 1051-1055], and at the same time, our iteration algorithm is different from the Kimura and Takahashi algorithm, which is a modified Mann-type iteration algorithm [Yasunori Kimura, Wataru Takahashi, On a hybrid method for a family of relatively nonexpansive mappings in Banach space, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 357 (2009) 356-363]. In addition, we succeed in applying our algorithm to systems of equilibrium problems which contain a family of equilibrium problems.     

Controllability for systems governed by semilinear evolution inclusions without compactness

In this paper we study the controllability for a class of semilinear differential inclusions in Banach spaces. Since we assume the regularity of the nonlinear part with respect to the weak topology, we do not require the compactness of the evolution operator generated by the linear part. As well we are not posing any conditions on the multivalued nonlinearity expressed in terms of measures of noncompactness. We are considering the usual assumption on the controllability of the associated linear problem. Notice that, in infinite dimensional spaces, the above mentioned compactness of the evolution operator and linear controllability condition are in contradiction with each other. We suppose that the nonlinear term has convex, closed, bounded values and a weakly sequentially closed graph when restricted to its second argument. This regularity setting allows us to solve controllability problem under various growth conditions. As application, a controllability result for hyperbolic integro-differential equations and inclusions is obtained. In particular, we consider controllability of a system arising in a model of nonlocal spatial population dispersal and a system governed by the second order one-dimensional telegraph equation.     

The essential spectral radius of Volterra operators and an application to Volterra-Hammerstein functional inclusions

It is shown that for abstract linear Volterra operators the spectral radius is the essential spectral radius. The result is applied to prove the existence of a global solution of a Volterra-Hammerstein functional inclusion when the nonlinearity has at most affine growth. The paper was written in the framework of a Heisenberg fellowship (Az. VA 206/1-2); financial support by the DFG is gratefully acknowledged. The author wants to thank Vladimir Kadets for valuable remarks about multivalued integration and Egor A. Alekhno for various remarks.     

General comparison principle for quasilinear elliptic inclusions

The main goal of this paper is to prove existence and comparison results for elliptic differential inclusions governed by a quasilinear elliptic operator and a multivalued function given by Clarke’s generalized gradient of some locally Lipschitz function. These kinds of problems have been treated in the past by various authors including the authors of this paper. However, in all the works we are aware of, additional assumptions on the structure of the elliptic operator and/or the generalized Clarke’s gradient are needed to get comparison results in terms of sub-supersolutions. Comparison principles were obtained recently, e.g., in the case where the elliptic operator is of potential type, or Clarke’s gradient is required to satisfy some one-sided growth condition, or the sub-supersolutions are supposed to satisfy additional properties. The novelty of this paper is that we are able to obtain a comparison principle without assuming any of the above restrictions. To the best of our knowledge this is the first mathematical treatment of the considered elliptic inclusion in its full generality. The obtained results of this paper complement the development of the sub-supersolution method for nonsmooth problems presented in a recent monograph by S. Carl, Vy K. Le and D. Motreanu.
