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, ⎩$li{m}_{\left|x\right|\to \infty }u\left(x\right)=0$, where $\Omega =x\in {ℝ}^N:\left|x\right|>r₀$, N ≥ 3, K: [r₀,∞) → ℝ⁺ is continuous and $0<{\int }_{r₀}^{\infty }rK\left(r\right)dr<\infty$, 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...

In this paper, we are devoted to study the existence of mild solutions for delay evolution equations with nonlocal conditions. By using tools involving the Kuratowski measure of noncompactness and fixed point theory, we establish some existence results of mild solutions without the assumption of compactness on the associated semigroup. Our results improve and generalize some related conclusions on this issue. Moreover, we present an example to illustrate the application of the main results.

The paper deals with the existence and uniqueness of 2π-periodic solutions for the odd-order ordinary differential equation $u^{(2n+1)}=f(t,u,u^{\text{'}},...,u^{\left(2n\right)})$, where $f:ℝ\times {ℝ}^{2n+1}\to ℝ$ is continuous and 2π-periodic with respect to t. Some new conditions on the nonlinearity $f(t,x₀,x₁,...,x_{2n})$ to guarantee the existence and uniqueness are presented. These conditions extend and improve the ones presented by Cong [Appl. Math. Lett. 17 (2004), 727-732].

In this paper we use a monotone iterative technique in the presence of the lower and upper solutions to discuss the existence of mild solutions for a class of semilinear impulsive integro-differential evolution equations of Volterra type with nonlocal conditions in a Banach space $E$ $$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{u}^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)+Au\left(t\right)=f(t,u\left(t\right),Gu\left(t\right)),t\in J,t\ne t_k{,\Delta u|}_{t=t_k}=u\left(t_k^{+}\right)-u\left(t_k^{-}\right)=I_k\left(u\left(t_k\right)\right),k=1,2,\cdots ,m,u\left(0\right)=g\left(u\right)+x_0,\hfill \end{array}\right.$$ where $A:D\left(A\right)\subset E\to E$ is a closed linear operator and $-A$ generates a strongly continuous semigroup $T\left(t\right)$ $(t\ge 0)$ on $E$, $f\in C(J\times E\times E,E)$, $J=[0,a]$, $0<t_1<t_2<\cdots <t_m<a$, $I_k\in C(E,E)$, $k=1,2,\cdots ,m$, and $g$ constitutes a nonlocal condition. Under suitable monotonicity conditions...

This paper deals with the existence of positive $\omega$-periodic solutions for the neutral functional differential equation with multiple delays $${(u\left(t\right)-cu(t-\delta ))}^{\text{'}}+a\left(t\right)u\left(t\right)=f(t,u(t-{\tau }_1),\cdots ,u(t-{\tau }_n)).$$ The essential inequality conditions on the existence of positive periodic solutions are obtained. These inequality conditions concern with the relations of $c$ and the coefficient function $a\left(t\right)$, and the nonlinearity $f(t,x_1,\cdots ,x_n)$. Our discussion is based on the perturbation method of positive operator and fixed point index theory in cones.

This paper discusses the existence of mild solutions for a class of semilinear fractional evolution equations with nonlocal initial conditions in an arbitrary Banach space. We assume that the linear part generates an equicontinuous semigroup, and the nonlinear part satisfies noncompactness measure conditions and appropriate growth conditions. An example to illustrate the applications of the abstract result is also given.
