We revisit the existence problem for shock profiles in quasilinear relaxation systems in the case that the velocity is a characteristic mode, implying that the profile ODE is degenerate. Our result states existence, with sharp rates of decay and distance from the Chapman–Enskog approximation, of small-amplitude quasilinear relaxation shocks. Our method of analysis follows the general approach used by Métivier and Zumbrun in the semilinear case, based on Chapman–Enskog expansion and the macro–micro...

In this paper we deal with the boundary value problem in the Hilbert space. Existence of a solutions is proved by using the method of lower and upper solutions. It is not necessary to suppose that the homogeneous problem has only the trivial solution. We use some results from functional analysis, especially the fixed-point theorem in the Banach space with a cone (Theorem 4.1, [5]).

The paper is motivated by the study of interesting models from economics and the natural sciences where the underlying randomness contains jumps. Stochastic differential equations with Poisson jumps have become very popular in modeling the phenomena arising in the field of financial mathematics, where the jump processes are widely used to describe the asset and commodity price dynamics. This paper addresses the issue of approximate controllability of impulsive fractional stochastic differential...

In this paper we examine nonlinear periodic systems driven by the vectorial $p$-Laplacian and with a nondifferentiable, locally Lipschitz nonlinearity. Our approach is based on the nonsmooth critical point theory and uses the subdifferential theory for locally Lipschitz functions. We prove existence and multiplicity results for the “sublinear” problem. For the semilinear problem (i.e. $p=2$) using a nonsmooth multidimensional version of the Ambrosetti-Rabinowitz condition, we prove an existence theorem...

In this work, we are interested in the existence of solutions for a class of first order boundary value problems (BVPs for short). We give new sufficient conditions under which the considered problems have at least one solution, one nonnegative solution and two non trivial nonnegative solutions, respectively. To prove our main results we propose a new approach based upon recent theoretical results. The results complement some recent ones.

The purpose of this paper is to study the existence and multiplicity of a periodic solution for the non-autonomous second-order system $$\begin{array}{c}\frac{\mathrm{d}}{\mathrm{d}t}\left(\right|\dot{u}\left(t\right){|}^{p-2}\dot{u}\left(t\right))=\nabla F(t,u\left(t\right)),\text{a.e.}t\in [0,T],\\ u\left(0\right)-u\left(T\right)=\dot{u}\left(0\right)-\dot{u}\left(T\right)=0,\\ \Delta {\dot{u}}^i\left(t_j\right)={\dot{u}}^i\left(t_j^{+}\right)-{\dot{u}}^i\left(t_j^{-}\right)=I_{ij}\left(u^i\left(t_j\right)\right),i=1,2,\cdots ,N;j=1,2,\cdots ,m.\end{array}$$ By using the least action principle and the saddle point theorem, some new existence theorems are obtained for second-order $p$-Laplacian systems with or without impulse under weak sublinear growth conditions, improving some existing results in the literature.
