Existence of Periodic Solutions for Nonlinear Neutral Dynamic Equations with Functional Delay on a Time Scale

Abdelouaheb Ardjouni, Ahcène Djoudi (2013)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

Let 𝕋 be a periodic time scale. The purpose of this paper is to use a modification of Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem due to Burton to prove the existence of periodic solutions on time scale of the nonlinear dynamic equation with variable delay x t = - a t h x σ t + c ( t ) x ˜ t - r t + G t , x t , x t - r t , t 𝕋 , where f is the -derivative on 𝕋 and f ˜ is the -derivative on ( i d - r ) ( 𝕋 ) . We invert the given equation to obtain an equivalent integral equation from which we define a fixed point mapping written as a sum of a large contraction and a compact map. We show...

Existence of positive periodic solutions of an SEIR model with periodic coefficients

Tailei Zhang, Junli Liu, Zhidong Teng (2012)

Applications of Mathematics

An SEIR model with periodic coefficients in epidemiology is considered. The global existence of periodic solutions with strictly positive components for this model is established by using the method of coincidence degree. Furthermore, a sufficient condition for the global stability of this model is obtained. An example based on the transmission of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) is included.

Existence of positive radial solutions for the elliptic equations on an exterior domain

Yongxiang Li, Huanhuan Zhang (2016)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We discuss the existence of positive radial solutions of the semilinear elliptic equation ⎧-Δu = K(|x|)f(u), x ∈ Ω ⎨αu + β ∂u/∂n = 0, x ∈ ∂Ω, ⎩ l i m | x | u ( x ) = 0 , where Ω = x N : | x | > r , N ≥ 3, K: [r₀,∞) → ℝ⁺ is continuous and 0 < r r K ( r ) d r < , f ∈ C(ℝ⁺,ℝ⁺), f(0) = 0. Under the conditions related to the asymptotic behaviour of f(u)/u at 0 and infinity, the existence of positive radial solutions is obtained. Our conditions are more precise and weaker than the superlinear or sublinear growth conditions. Our discussion is based on the fixed point...

Existence of positive solutions for a class of arbitrary order boundary value problems involving nonlinear functionals

Kyriakos G. Mavridis (2014)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We give conditions which guarantee the existence of positive solutions for a variety of arbitrary order boundary value problems for which all boundary conditions involve functionals, using the well-known Krasnosel'skiĭ fixed point theorem. The conditions presented here deal with a variety of problems, which correspond to various functionals, in a uniform way. The applicability of the results obtained is demonstrated by a numerical application.

Existence of positive solutions for a fractional boundary value problem with lower-order fractional derivative dependence on the half-line

Amina Boucenna, Toufik Moussaoui (2014)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

The aim of this paper is to study the existence of solutions to a boundary value problem associated to a nonlinear fractional differential equation where the nonlinear term depends on a fractional derivative of lower order posed on the half-line. An appropriate compactness criterion and suitable Banach spaces are used and so a fixed point theorem is applied to obtain fixed points which are solutions of our problem.
