Lower bounds of the topological entropy for nonautonomous dynamical systems

In this paper, lower bounds of the topological entropy for nonautonomous dynamical systems are given via the growths of topological complexity in fundamental group and in degree.     

A nonautonomous epidemic model with general incidence and isolation

We obtain conditions for eradication and permanence of infection for a nonautonomous SIQR model with time‐dependent parameters that are not assumed to be periodic. The incidence is given by functions of all compartments, and the threshold conditions are given by some numbers that play the role of the basic reproduction number. We obtain simple threshold conditions in the autonomous, asymptotically autonomous and periodic settings and show that our thresholds coincide with the ones already established. Additionally, we obtain threshold conditions for the general nonautonomous model with mass‐action, standard and quarantine‐adjusted incidence. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

A nonautonomous epidemic model on time scales

We obtain conditions for permanence and extinction of the infection for a nonautonomous SIQR model defined on an arbitrary time scale. The threshold conditions are given by some numbers that play the role of the basic reproduction number in this setting. As a particular case of our result, we recover several threshold conditions obtained in the literature, on discrete or continuous time, for autonomous, periodic models and general nonautonomous models and we also discuss some new situations, including an aperiodic time scale.     

A generalized nonautonomous SIRVS model

A nonautonomous SIRVS model with time‐dependent parameters is considered. The global dynamics is investigated, and conditions for the permanence, extinction, and disease‐free equilibrium are studied. Substitute quantities that replace the basic reproduction number are presented. Numerical simulations illustrate the dynamic behavior of the proposed model.

Analytical Periodic Wave and Soliton Solutions of the Generalized Nonautonomous Nonlinear Schrödinger Equation in Harmonic and Optical Lattice Potentials

We construct analytical periodic wave and soliton solutions to the generalized nonautonomous nonlinear Schrödinger equation with time- and space-dependent distributed coefficients in harmonic and optical lattice potentials. We utilize the similarity transformation technique to obtain these solutions. Constraints for the dispersion coefficient, the nonlinearity, and the gain (loss) coefficient are presented at the same time. Various shapes of periodic wave and soliton solutions are studied analytically and physically. Stability analysis of the solutions is discussed numerically.     

PERMANENCE OF ASYMPTOTICALLY PERIODIC MULTISPECIES LOTKA-VOLTERRA COMPETITION PREDATOR-PREY SYSTEM

In this paper, we consider the permanence of asymptotically periodic mul-tispecies Lotka-Volterra competition predator-prey system. By means of the standard comparison theorem, we improve or extend the corresponding results given by Peng and Chen [1], Teng and Li [2], Zhao and Chen [3]. Also, we obtain the conditions which ensure the permanence and global attractivity of asymptotically periodic multispecies competition predator-prey system.

Stepanov-like pseudo-almost periodic mild solutions to perturbed nonautonomous evolution equations with infinite delay

In this paper, we prove the invariance of Stepanov-like pseudo-almost periodic functions under bounded linear operators. Furthermore, we obtain existence and uniqueness theorems of pseudo-almost periodic mild solutions to evolution equations u^′(t)=A(t)u(t)+h(t) and on , assuming that A(t) satisfy “Acquistapace–Terreni” conditions, that the evolution family generated by A(t) has exponential dichotomy, that R(λ₀,A()) is almost periodic, that B,C(t,s)_t≥s are bounded linear operators, that f is Lipschitz with respect to the second argument uniformly in the first argument and that h, f, F are Stepanov-like pseudo-almost periodic for p>1 and continuous. To illustrate our abstract result, a concrete example is given.
