We consider a class of Nemytskii superposition operators that covers the nonlinear part of traveling wave models from laser dynamics, population dynamics, and chemical kinetics. Our main result is the -continuity property of these operators over Sobolev-type spaces of periodic functions.
Let (X,∥·∥) and (Y,∥·∥) be two normed spaces and K be a convex cone in X. Let CC(Y) be the family of all non-empty convex compact subsets of Y. We consider the Nemytskiĭ operators, i.e. the composition operators defined by (Nu)(t) = H(t,u(t)), where H is a given set-valued function. It is shown that if the operator N maps the space into (both are spaces of functions of bounded φ-variation in the sense of Riesz), and if it is globally Lipschitz, then it has to be of the form H(t,u(t)) = A(t)u(t)...
We give a characterization of the globally Lipschitzian composition operators acting in the space
We prove that the classical Prandtl, Ishlinskii and Preisach hysteresis operators are continuous in Sobolev spaces for , (localy) Lipschitz continuous in and discontinuous in for arbitrary . Examples show that this result is optimal.
