Positive solution of singularly perturbed Dirichlet problem with singularities

A class of singularly perturbed boundary value problem with singularities is considered. Introducing the stretched variables, the boundary layer corrective terms near x = 0 and x = 1 are constructed. Under suitable conditions, by using the theory of differential inequalities the existence and asymptotic behavior of solution for boundary value problem are proved, uniformly valid asymptotic expansion of solution with boundary layers are obtained,     

A Remark on the Cauchy Problem of 1D Compressible Navier-Stokes Equations with Density-dependent Viscosity Coefcients

This paper is concerned with the Cauchy problems of one-dimensional compressible Navier-Stokes equations with density-dependent viscosity coefcients.By assumingρ0∈L1(R),we will prove the existence of weak solutions to the Cauchy problems forθ0.This will improve results in Jiu and Xin’s paper(Kinet.Relat.Models,1(2):313–330(2008))in whichθ12is required.In addition,We will study the large time asymptotic behavior of such weak solutions.     

Spatial‐skin effect for eigenvibrations of a thick cascade junction with ‘heavy’ concentrated masses

A spectral problem for the Laplace operator in a thick cascade junction with concentrated masses is considered. This cascade junction consists of the junction's body and a great number of ?‐alternating thin rods belonging to two classes. One class consists of rods of finite length, and the second one consists of rods of small length of order . The density of the junction is of order on the rods from the second class and outside of them. The asymptotic behavior of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of this problem is studied as ? → 0. There exist five qualitatively different cases in the asymptotic behavior of eigenmagnitudes as ? → 0, namely the case of ‘light’ concentrated (α ∈ (0,1)), ‘middle’ concentrated (α = 1), and ‘heavy’ concentrated masses (α ∈ (1, + ∞ )) that we divide into ‘slightly heavy’ concentrated (α ∈ (1,2)), ‘intermediate heavy’ concentrated (α = 2), and ‘very heavy’ concentrated masses (α > 2). In the paper, we study in detail the influence of the concentrated masses on the asymptotic behavior if α ∈ (1,2). We construct the leading terms of asymptotic expansions both for the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions and prove the corresponding asymptotic estimates. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Fixed point theorems in piecewise continuous function spaces and applications to some nonlinear problems

The piecewise continuous function space is an important state space in various nonlinear problems. In this paper, we establish some new fixed point theorems for the perturbed contraction operators in piecewise continuous function spaces. Our results can be applied to various integral operators. Some previous results are improved in this literature. As applications, the existence and uniqueness of solutions of impulsive anti‐periodic boundary value problems and the Lasota–Wazewska models with delays are exhibited at last two sections.

Spectral asymptotics and basis properties of fourth order differential operators with regular boundary conditions

In this paper, we consider the problem where λ is a spectral parameter; q(x) ∈ L₁(0,1) is complex‐valued function; α_s, s = 1,2,3, are arbitrary complex constants that satisfy α₂ = α₁ + α₃ and σ = 0,1. The boundary conditions of this problem are regular, but not strongly regular. Asymptotic formulae for eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the considered boundary value problem are established. It is proved that all the eigenvalues, except for finite number, are simple and the system of root functions of this spectral problem forms a basis in the space L_p(0,1), 1 < p < ∞ , when ; moreover, this basis is unconditional for p = 2. We note that the considered problem was previously investigated in the condition of α₂ ≠ α₁ + α₃. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

On the Well-Posedness of Determination of Two Coefficients in a Fractional Integrodifferential Equation

The authors study an inverse problem for a fractional integrodifferential equation, which aims to determine simultaneously two time varying coefficients, a kernel function and a source function, from the additional integral overdetermination condition. By using the fixed point theorem in suitable Sobolev space, the global existence and uniqueness results of this inverse problem are obtained.     

Global Existence and Pointwise Estimates of Solutions to Generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony Equations in Multi Dimensions

This paper is concerned with the global existence and pointwise estimates of solutions to the generalized Benjamin-Bona-Mahony equations in all space dimensions. By using the energy method, Fourier analysis and pseudo-differential operators, the global existence and pointwise convergence rates of the solution are obtained. The decay rate is the same as that of the heat equation and one can see that the solution propagates along the characteristic line.     

Stability of Inverse Problems for Ultrahyperbolic Equations

In this paper, the authors consider inverse problems of determining a coefficient or a source term in an ultrahyperbolic equation by some lateral boundary data. The authors prove Hlder estimates which are global and local and the key tool is Carleman estimate.     

Convergence analysis for system of equilibrium problems and left bregman strongly relatively nonexpansive mapping

In this paper, we prove strong convergence theorems for approximation of a fixed point of a left Bregman strongly relatively nonexpansive mapping which is also a solution to a finite system of equilibrium problems in the framework of reflexive real Banach spaces. We also discuss the approximation of a common fixed point of a family of left Bregman strongly nonexpansive mappings which is also solution to a finite system of equilibrium problems in reflexive real Banach spaces. Our results complement many known recent results in the literature.
