On the index of the boundary value problem for a homogeneous Hamiltonian system of differential equations

The index of the homogeneous self-adjoint boundary value problem for the Hamiltonian systems of ordinary differential equations is introduced. It is assumed that the system has a nontrivial solution. The relationship between the index of an eigenvalue of the nonlinear eigenvalue problem and the index of the corresponding homogeneous problem is established. Properties of the index of the problem and those of the eigenvalue are examined.

THE SINGLE-POINT QUENCHING OF NONLINEAR DEGENERATE FUNCTIONAL REACTION-DIFFUSION EQUATION

This article is concerned with the quenching phenomena of the nonlinear degenerate functional reaction-diffusion equation. Some results are obtained on the single-point quenching and the uniqueness of quenching.     

A weak Kantorovich existence theorem for the solution of nonlinear equations

The Kantorovich theorem is a fundamental tool in nonlinear analysis for proving the existence and uniqueness of solutions of nonlinear equations arising in various fields. This theorem was weakened recently by Argyros who used a combination of Lipschitz and center-Lipschitz conditions in place of the Lipschitz conditions of the Kantorovich theorem. In the present paper we prove a weak Kantorovich-type theorem that gives the same conclusions as the previous two results under weaker conditions. Illustrative examples are provided in the paper.     

Decomposition and removability properties of John domains

In this paper we characterize John domains in terms of John domain decomposition property. In addition, we also show that a domain D in ℔ ⁿ is a John domain if and only if D\P is a John domain, where P is a subset of D containing finitely many points of D. The best possibility and an application of the second result are also discussed.     

A Reaction-diffusion system with nonlinear absorption terms and boundary flux

This paper deals with a reaction-diffusion system with nonlinear absorption terms and boundary flux. As results of interactions among the six nonlinear terms in the system, some sufficient conditions on global existence and finite time blow-up of the solutions are described via all the six nonlinear exponents appearing in the six nonlinear terms. In addition, we also show the influence of the coefficients of the absorption terms as well as the geometry of the domain to the global existence and finite time blow-up of the solutions for some cases. At last, some numerical results are given.     

Nonexistence of local minima of supersolutions for the polyharmonic problems

In this note we study the nonexistence of local minima of the supersolutions of the polyharmonic equations on the balls under generalized homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions. Under suitable restriction on the dimensions, this means that a generalized clamped circular plate, which is pushed from below, cannot bend downwards even locally. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Boundary value problems on weighted networks

We present here a systematic study of general boundary value problems on weighted networks that includes the variational formulation of such problems. In particular, we obtain the discrete version of the Dirichlet Principle and we apply it to the analysis of the inverse problem of identifying the conductivities of the network in a very general framework. Our approach is based on the development of an efficient vector calculus on weighted networks which mimetizes the calculus in the smooth case. The key tool is an adequate construction of the tangent space at each vertex. This allows us to consider discrete vector fields, inner products and general metrics. Then, we obtain discrete versions of derivative, gradient, divergence and Laplace-Beltrami operators, satisfying analogous properties to those verified by their continuous counterparts. On the other hand we develop the corresponding integral calculus that includes the discrete versions of the Integration by Parts technique and Green’s Identities. Finally, we apply our discrete vector calculus to analyze the consistency of difference schemes used to solve numerically a Robin boundary value problem in a square.     

Optimal superconvergent one step quadratic spline collocation methods

We formulate new optimal quadratic spline collocation methods for the solution of various elliptic boundary value problems in the unit square. These methods are constructed so that the collocation equations can be solved using a matrix decomposition algorithm. The results of numerical experiments exhibit the expected optimal global accuracy as well as superconvergence phenomena. AMS subject classification (2000)  65N35, 65N22
