Necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of forced nonlinear second order delay difference equation

Ethiraju Thandapani, L. Ramuppillai (1999)

Kybernetika

In this paper the authors give necessary and sufficient conditions for the oscillation of solutions of nonlinear delay difference equations of Emden– Fowler type in the form Δ 2 y n - 1 + q n y σ ( n ) γ = g n , where γ is a quotient of odd positive integers, in the superlinear case ( γ > 1 ) and in the sublinear case ( γ < 1 ) .

Necessary Optimality Conditions for a Lotka-Volterra Three Species System

N. C. Apreutesei (2010)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

An optimal control problem is studied for a Lotka-Volterra system of three differential equations. It models an ecosystem of three species which coexist. The species are supposed to be separated from each others. Mathematically, this is modeled with the aid of two control variables. Some necessary conditions of optimality are found in order to maximize the total number of individuals at the end of a given time interval.

Neumann boundary value problems across resonance

Ginés López, Juan-Aurelio Montero-Sánchez (2006)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We obtain an existence-uniqueness result for a second order Neumann boundary value problem including cases where the nonlinearity possibly crosses several points of resonance. Optimal and Schauder fixed points methods are used to prove this kind of results.
