PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS FOR FIRST ORDER FUNCTIONAL DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, we investigate the periodic boundary value problems for nonlinear first order functional differential equations. By establishing a new comparison result, criteria on the existence of maximal and minimal solutions are obtained.     

EXISTENCE OF SOLUTIONS OF A FAMILY OF NONLINEAR BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS IN L~2-SPACES

§ 1　Introduction and preliminariesThe equations related to the p- L aplacian operatorΔp have been studied in differentaspects[1— 4 ] sinceΔp arises from a variety of physical phenomena such as non Newtonianfluids,reaction- diffusion problems,etc.In this paper,the following equation(1) which canbe regarded as an extension of those in[1— 4 ]will be discussed:- div(α(gradu) ) +|u(x) |p- 2 u(x) +g(x,u(x) ) =f (x)　 a.e. onΩ-〈n,α(gradu)〉∈βx(u(x) ) ,a.e.onΓ .

Optimal control of infinite-dimensional uncertain systems

In this paper, we consider a minimax problem of optimal control for a class of strongly nonlinear uncertain evolution equations on a Banach space. We prove the existence of optimal controls. A nontrivial example of a class of systems governed by a nonlinear partial differential equation with uncertain spatial parameters is presented for illustration.This work was supported in part by the National Science and Engineering Research Council of Canada under Grant No. A7109 and The Engineering Faculty Development Fund, University of Ottawa.The authors would like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their valuable comments and suggestions.

计算具有区间参数结构的固有频率的优化方法

基于区间函数的单向包含性质，把具有区间非确定参数结构的固有频率所在区间范围问题 转化成两个全局优化问题，并采用一种实数编码遗传算法求取问题的全局解. 用一种能够求 得剪切型结构和弹簧质量系统特征值范围精确解的单调分析方法进行检验. 在一 些文献中，直接采用区间数运算法则和有限元法得到结构区间刚度阵和区间质量阵，并把关 于该区间刚度阵和区间质量阵的广义区间特征值问题的特征值区间作为待求的非确定性结构 的特征值所在的区间范围，该方法易于扩大问题的解域. 算例表明，可望得到结构 固有频率区间范围的准确解.     

An extension of the Yamada‐Watanabe theorem

A well‐known result on pathwise uniqueness of the solution of stochastic differential equations in is the Yamada‐Watanabe theorem. We have extended this result by replacing the Lipschitz assumption on the drift coefficient by much weaker assumption of semi‐monotonicity.     

Transversality between invariant manifolds of periodic orbits for a class of monotone dynamical systems

We consider a special class of monotone dynamical systems and show that in this special class the stable and unstable manifolds of two hyperbolic periodic orbits always intersect transversally. The proof is based on the existence of a family of positively invariant nested cones.This paper is dedicated to Jack Hale on the occasion of his 60th birthday.     

Asymptotic Behavior of Quasi-Autonomous Expansive Type Evolution Systems in a Hilbert Space

We introduce the notion of almost expansive sequences and curves and study their ergodic and asymptotic properties in a Hilbert space H. We apply our results to study the asymptotic behavior of solutions to the quasi-autonomous expansive type evolution system (du/dt)(t) + f(t) ∈ Au(t) on [0, ∞).
