It is shown that each subset of positive integers that contains 2 is realizable as the set of essential values of the multiplicity function for the Koopman operator of some weakly mixing transformation.

In this paper we study a general concept of nonuniform exponential dichotomy in mean square for stochastic skew-evolution semiflows in Hilbert spaces. We obtain a variant for the stochastic case of some well-known results, of the deterministic case, due to R. Datko: Uniform asymptotic stability of evolutionary processes in a Banach space, SIAM J. Math. Anal., 3(1972), 428–445. Our approach is based on the extension of some techniques used in the deterministic case for the study of asymptotic behavior...

A simple explicit numerical scheme is proposed for the solution of the Gardner–Ostrovsky equation (ut + cux + α uux + α1u2ux + βuxxx)x = γu which is also known as the extended rotation-modified Korteweg–de Vries (KdV) equation. This equation is used for the description of internal oceanic waves affected by Earth’ rotation. Particular versions of this equation with zero some of coefficients, α, α1, β, or γ are also known in numerous applications....

We prove that if f: → is Darboux and has a point of prime period different from $2^i$, i = 0,1,..., then the entropy of f is positive. On the other hand, for every set A ⊂ ℕ with 1 ∈ A there is an almost continuous (in the sense of Stallings) function f: → with positive entropy for which the set Per(f) of prime periods of all periodic points is equal to A.

A necessary and sufficient condition is given for the carrying simplex of a dissipative totally competitive system of three ordinary differential equations to have a peak singularity at an axial equilibrium. For systems of Lotka-Volterra type that result translates into a simple condition on the coefficients.

In this paper we consider a chain of strings with fixed end points coupled with nearest neighbour interaction potential of exponential type, i.e.$$\left\{\begin{array}{cc}{\varphi }_{tt}^i-{\varphi }_{xx}^i=exp({\varphi }^{i+1}-{\varphi }^i)-exp({\varphi }^i-\varphi i-1)\hfill & 0\<x\<\pi ,t\in ℝ,i\in \mathbb{Z}\left(TC\right)\hfill \\ {\varphi }^i(0,t)={\varphi }^i(\pi ,t)=0\hfill & \forall t,i.\hfill \end{array}\right.$$We consider the case of “closed chains” i.e. ${\varphi }^{i+N}={\varphi }^i\forall i\in \mathbb{Z}$ and some $N\in \mathbb{N}$ and look for solutions which are peirodic in time. The existence of periodic solutions for the dual problem is proved in Orlicz space setting.

The purpose of this paper is to study the existence of periodic solutions for the non-autonomous second order Hamiltonian system $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}\ddot{u}\left(t\right)=\nabla F(t,u\left(t\right)),\text{a.e.}t\in [0,T],\hfill \\ u\left(0\right)-u\left(T\right)=\dot{u}\left(0\right)-\dot{u}\left(T\right)=0.\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ Some new existence theorems are obtained by the least action principle.
