A Lie symmetry analysis and explicit solutions of the two‐dimensional ∞‐Polylaplacian

In this work, we consider the Lie point symmetry analysis of a strongly nonlinear partial differential equation of third order, the ∞‐Polylaplacian, in two spatial dimensions. This equation is a higher order generalization of the ∞‐Laplacian, also known as Aronsson's equation, and arises as the analog of the Euler–Lagrange equations of a second‐order variational principle in L^∞. We obtain its full symmetry group, one‐dimensional Lie subalgebras and the corresponding symmetry reductions to ordinary differential equations. Finally, we use the Lie symmetries to construct new invariant ∞‐Polyharmonic functions.     

Reduction of the n-dimensional static vacuum Einstein equation and generalized Schwarzschild solutions

We consider the static vacuum Einstein spacetime when the spatial factor is conformal to a n-dimensional pseudo-Euclidean space. The most general ansatz that reduces the resulting system of partial differential equations to a system of ordinary differential equations is completely described. We obtain the entire set of solutions of the reduced system, where the classical Schwarzschild solution arises as a particular solution. In addition, we show that the Riemannian spatial factors associated to these solutions are foliated by parallel hypersurfaces of constant mean curvature.     

On differential–algebraic equations in infinite dimensions

We consider a class of differential–algebraic equations (DAEs) with index zero in an infinite dimensional Hilbert space. We define a space of consistent initial values, which lead to classical continuously differential solutions for the associated DAE. Moreover, we show that for arbitrary initial values we obtain mild solutions for the associated problem. We discuss the asymptotic behaviour of solutions for both problems. In particular, we provide a characterisation for exponential stability and exponential dichotomies in terms of the spectrum of the associated operator pencil.     

Traveling wave solutions in delayed higher dimensional lattice differential systems with partial monotonicity

In this paper, we consider the existence of traveling wave solutions in delayed higher dimensional lattice differential systems with partial monotonicity. By relaxing the monotonicity of the upper solutions and allowing it greater than positive equilibrium point, we establish the existence of traveling wave solutions by means of Schauder's fixed point theorem. And then, we apply our results to delayed competition‐cooperation systems on higher dimensional lattices.     

Prolongation of solutions of measure differential equations and dynamic equations on time scales

In this paper, we prove the results on existence and uniqueness of the maximal solutions for measure differential equations, considering more general conditions on functions f and g by using the correspondence between the solutions of these equations and the solutions of generalized ODEs. Moreover, we prove these results for the dynamic equations on time scales, using the correspondence between the solutions of these last equations and the solutions of the measure differential equations.     

A Differential Harnack Inequality for the Newell-Whitehead-Segel Equation

This paper will develop a Li-Yau-Hamilton type differential Harnack estimate for positive solutions to the Newell-Whitehead-Segel equation on R^n.We then use our LYH-differential Harnack inequality to prove several properties about positive solutions to the equation,including deriving a classical Harnack inequality and characterizing standing solutions and traveling wave solutions.     

The Complete Biorthogonal Expansion Theorem and Its Application to a Class of Rectangular Plate Equations

In this paper, we first establish the separable $Hamiltonian$ system of rectangular cantilever thin plate bending problems by choosing proper dual vectors. Then using the characteristics of off-diagonal infinite-dimensional $Hamiltonian$ operator matrix, we derive the biorthogonal relationships of the eigenfunction systems and based on it we further obtain the complete biorthogonal expansion theorem. Finally, applying this theorem we obtain the general solutions of rectangular cantilever thin plate bending problems with two opposite edges slidingly supported.     

Integrable symplectic maps associated with discrete Korteweg‐de Vries‐type equations

In this paper, we present novel integrable symplectic maps, associated with ordinary difference equations, and show how they determine, in a remarkably diverse manner, the integrability, including Lax pairs and the explicit solutions, for integrable partial difference equations which are the discrete counterparts of integrable partial differential equations of Korteweg‐de Vries‐type (KdV‐type). As a consequence it is demonstrated that several distinct Hamiltonian systems lead to one and the same difference equation by means of the Liouville integrability framework. Thus, these integrable symplectic maps may provide an efficient tool for characterizing, and determining the integrability of, partial difference equations.     

Combined effects for magnetic Laplace equations with lack of compactness

We are concerned with qualitative analysis of weak solutions for a class of magnetic Laplace equations with lack of compactness. By variational arguments, we establish related nonexistence, existence and multiplicity results.     

On the Minimal Solutions of Variational Inequalities in Orlicz-Sobolev Spaces

In this paper, the author studies the existence of the minimal nonnegative solutions of some elliptic variational inequalities in Orlicz-Sobolev spaces on bounded or unbounded domains. She gets some comparison results between different solutions as tools to pass to the limit in the problems and to show the existence of the minimal solutions of the variational inequalities on bounded domains or unbounded domains. In both cases,coercive and noncoercive operators are handled. The sufficient and necessary conditions for the existence of the minimal nonnegative solution of the noncoercive variational inequality on bounded domains are established.
