Existence of positive almost automorphic solutions to neutral nonlinear integral equations

This paper is concerned with neutral nonlinear delay integral equations. We establish an existence theorem for positive almost automorphic solutions to the equations, which extend some existing results even in the case of almost periodicity. Some examples are given to illustrate our results.     

Existence of positive pseudo almost periodic solutions to a class of neutral integral equations

In this work, a new fixed point theorem in partially ordered Banach spaces is established, and then used to prove the existence of positive pseudo almost periodic solutions to a class of neutral integral equations. Our existence theorem extends some recent results due to [E. Ait Dads, P. Cieutat, L. Lhachimi, Positive pseudo almost periodic solutions for some nonlinear infinite delay integral equations, Mathematical and Computer Modelling 49 (2009) 721–739] to a more general class of integral equations.     

Existence of a positive almost periodic solution for a nonlinear delay integral equation

In this paper, we discuss the existence of positive almost periodic solution for some nonlinear delay integral equation, by constructing a new fixed point theorem in the cone. Some known results are extended.     

Compact almost automorphic solutions to integral equations with infinite delay

Given a∈L¹(R) and the generator A of an L¹-integrable resolvent family of linear bounded operators defined on a Banach space X, we prove the existence of compact almost automorphic solutions of the semilinear integral equation for each f:R×X→X compact almost automorphic in t, for each x∈X, and satisfying Lipschitz and Hölder type conditions. In the scalar linear case, we prove that a∈L¹(R) positive, nonincreasing and log-convex is sufficient to obtain the existence of compact almost automorphic solutions.     

Existence of solutions of a boundary value problem on the half-line to second order nonlinear delay differential equations

By using the Schauder fixed point theorem, we establish a result for the existence of solutions of a boundary value problem on the half-line to second order nonlinear delay differential equations. We also present the application of our result to the special case of second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations as well as to a specific class of second order nonlinear delay differential equations. Moreover, we give a general example which demonstrates the applicability of our result. Received: 10 May 2004     

A new composition theorem for square-mean almost automorphic functions and applications to stochastic differential equations

In this paper, we establish a new composition theorem for square-mean almost automorphic functions under conditions which are different from Lipschitz conditions in the literature. We apply this new composition theorem together with Schauder’s fixed point theorem to investigate the existence of square-mean almost automorphic mild solutions for a stochastic differential equation in a real separable Hilbert space. Finally, an interesting corollary is also given for the sub-linear growth cases.     

Existence of solutions of non-autonomous second order functional differential equations with infinite delay

In this paper the existence of solutions of a non-autonomous abstract retarded functional differential equation of second order with infinite delay is considered. Assuming the existence of an evolution operator corresponding to the associate abstract Cauchy problem of second order, we establish the existence of mild solutions of the functional equation. Furthermore, we study the existence of classical solutions of the abstract Cauchy problem of second order and we apply these results to establish the existence of classical solutions of the functional equation. Finally, we apply our results to study the existence of solutions of the non-autonomous wave equation with delay.

Almost periodic solutions for an impulsive delay Nicholson’s blowflies model

By means of the contraction mapping principle and Gronwall-Bellman’s inequality, we prove the existence and exponential stability of positive almost periodic solution for an impulsive delay Nicholson’s blowflies model. The main results are illustrated by an example.     

Weighted pseudo almost periodic solutions for some partial functional differential equations

In this work, we give sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of a weighted pseudo almost periodic solution for some partial functional differential equations. To illustrate our main result, we study the existence of a weighted pseudo almost periodic solution for some diffusion equation with delay.     

Square-mean weighted pseudo almost automorphic solutions for non-autonomous stochastic evolution equations

In this paper, we first introduce the concepts and properties of the square-mean weighted pseudo almost automorphy and the square-mean bi-almost automorphy for a stochastic process. With these preliminary settings and by virtue of the theory of the semigroups of the operators, the Banach fixed point theorem and the stochastic analysis techniques, we investigate the well-posedness of the square-mean weighted pseudo almost automorphic solutions for a general class of non-autonomous stochastic evolution equations that satisfy either global or only local Lipschitz condition. Moreover, we estimate the boundedness of attractive domain for the case where the only local Lipschitz condition is taken into account. Finally, we provide two illustrative examples to show the practical usefulness of the analytical results that we establish in the paper.     

On the discretization of differential and Volterra integral equations with variable delay

In this paper we analyze the attainable order ofm-stage implicit (collocation-based) Runge-Kutta methods for differential equations and Volterra integral equations of the second kind with variable delay of the formqt (0<q<1). It will be shown that, in contrast to equations without delay, or equations with constant delay, collocation at the Gauss (-Legendre) points will no longer yield the optimal (local) orderO(h ^2m ).

Existence of global solutions to nonlinear fuzzy Volterra integro-differential equations

In this paper, we introduce new solutions for fuzzy differential equations as mixed solutions, and prove the existence and uniqueness of global solutions for fuzzy initial value problems involving integro-differential operators of Volterra type. One example is also given by applying mixed solution concept to fuzzy linear differential equations for obtaining their global solutions.     

Positive almost automorphic solutions for a class of non-linear delay integral equations

This article is concerned with a class of non-linear delay integral equations, which unify some extensively studied delay integral equations. We establish a new existence and uniqueness theorem about positive almost automorphic solutions of the delay integral equations. Our theorem can deal with some cases to which many known results are not applicable. Two examples are given to illustrate our results.
