Existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions for odd-order ordinary differential equations

Yongxiang Li, He Yang (2011)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

The paper deals with the existence and uniqueness of 2π-periodic solutions for the odd-order ordinary differential equation u ( 2 n + 1 ) = f ( t , u , u ' , . . . , u ( 2 n ) ) , where f : × 2 n + 1 is continuous and 2π-periodic with respect to t. Some new conditions on the nonlinearity f ( t , x , x , . . . , x 2 n ) 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].

Homeomorphisms of composants of Knaster continua

Sonja Štimac (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

The Knaster continuum K p is defined as the inverse limit of the pth degree tent map. On every composant of the Knaster continuum we introduce an order and we consider some special points of the composant. These are used to describe the structure of the composants. We then prove that, for any integer p ≥ 2, all composants of K p having no endpoints are homeomorphic. This generalizes Bandt’s result which concerns the case p = 2.

Generalized c -almost periodic type functions in n

M. Kostić (2021)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

In this paper, we analyze multi-dimensional quasi-asymptotically c -almost periodic functions and their Stepanov generalizations as well as multi-dimensional Weyl c -almost periodic type functions. We also analyze several important subclasses of the class of multi-dimensional quasi-asymptotically c -almost periodic functions and reconsider the notion of semi- c -periodicity in the multi-dimensional setting, working in the general framework of Lebesgue spaces with variable exponent. We provide...

Stable periodic solutions in scalar periodic differential delay equations

Anatoli Ivanov, Sergiy Shelyag (2023)

Archivum Mathematicum

Similarity:

A class of nonlinear simple form differential delay equations with a T -periodic coefficient and a constant delay τ > 0 is considered. It is shown that for an arbitrary value of the period T > 4 τ - d 0 , for some d 0 > 0 , there is an equation in the class such that it possesses an asymptotically stable T -period solution. The periodic solutions are constructed explicitly for the piecewise constant nonlinearities and the periodic coefficients involved, by reduction of the problem to one-dimensional maps. The...

Yongkun Li, Changzhao Li, Juan Zhang (2010)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

By using the well-known Leggett–Williams multiple fixed point theorem for cones, some new criteria are established for the existence of three positive periodic solutions for a class of n-dimensional functional differential equations with impulses of the form ⎧y’(t) = A(t)y(t) + g(t,yt), t t j , j ∈ ℤ, ⎨ ⎩ y ( t j ) = y ( t ¯ j ) + I j ( y ( t j ) ) , where A ( t ) = ( a i j ( t ) ) n × n is a nonsingular matrix with continuous real-valued entries.

Existence of nonnegative periodic solutions in neutral integro-differential equations with functional delay

Imene Soulahia, Abdelouaheb Ardjouni, Ahcene Djoudi (2015)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Similarity:

The fixed point theorem of Krasnoselskii and the concept of large contractions are employed to show the existence of a periodic solution of a nonlinear integro-differential equation with variable delay x ' ( t ) = - t - τ ( t ) t a ( t , s ) g ( x ( s ) ) d s + d d t Q ( t , x ( t - τ ( t ) ) ) + G ( t , x ( t ) , x ( t - τ ( t ) ) ) . We transform this equation and then invert it to obtain a sum of two mappings one of which is completely continuous and the other is a large contraction. We choose suitable conditions for τ , g , a , Q and G to show that this sum of mappings fits into the framework of a modification of...

Multiple positive solutions of a nonlinear fourth order periodic boundary value problem

Lingbin Kong, Daqing Jiang (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

Similarity:

The fourth order periodic boundary value problem u ( 4 ) - m u + F ( t , u ) = 0 , 0 < t < 2π, with u ( i ) ( 0 ) = u ( i ) ( 2 π ) , i = 0,1,2,3, is studied by using the fixed point index of mappings in cones, where F is a nonnegative continuous function and 0 < m < 1. Under suitable conditions on F, it is proved that the problem has at least two positive solutions if m ∈ (0,M), where M is the smallest positive root of the equation tan mπ = -tanh mπ, which takes the value 0.7528094 with an error of ± 10 - 7 .

Jean Mawhin (2006)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

We prove an Ambrosetti–Prodi type result for the periodic solutions of the equation ( | u ' | p 2 u ' ) ) ' + f ( u ) u ' + g ( x , u ) = t , when f is arbitrary and g ( x , u ) + or g ( x , u ) when | u | . The proof uses upper and lower solutions and the Leray–Schauder degree.

Periodic solutions of evolution problem associated with moving convex sets

Charles Castaing, Manuel D.P. Monteiro Marques (1995)

Discussiones Mathematicae, Differential Inclusions, Control and Optimization

Similarity:

This paper is concerned with periodic solutions for perturbations of the sweeping process introduced by J.J. Moreau in 1971. The perturbed equation has the form - D u N C ( t ) ( u ( t ) ) + f ( t , u ( t ) ) where C is a T-periodic multifunction from [0,T] into the set of nonempty convex weakly compact subsets of a separable Hilbert space H, N C ( t ) ( u ( t ) ) is the normal cone of C(t) at u(t), f:[0,T] × H∪H is a Carathéodory function and Du is the differential measure of the periodic BV solution u. Several existence results of periodic solutions...

Decompositions of the plane and the size of the continuum

Ramiro de la Vega (2009)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider a triple ⟨E₀,E₁,E₂⟩ of equivalence relations on ℝ² and investigate the possibility of decomposing the plane into three sets ℝ² = S₀ ∪ S₁ ∪ S₂ in such a way that each S i intersects each E i -class in finitely many points. Many results in the literature, starting with a famous theorem of Sierpiński, show that for certain triples the existence of such a decomposition is equivalent to the continuum hypothesis. We give a characterization in ZFC of the triples for which the decomposition...

Positive periodic solutions of a neutral functional differential equation with multiple delays

Yongxiang Li, Ailan Liu (2018)

Mathematica Bohemica

Similarity:

This paper deals with the existence of positive ω -periodic solutions for the neutral functional differential equation with multiple delays ( u ( t ) - c u ( t - δ ) ) ' + a ( t ) u ( t ) = f ( t , u ( t - τ 1 ) , , u ( t - τ 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 ( t ) , and the nonlinearity f ( t , x 1 , , x n ) . Our discussion is based on the perturbation method of positive operator and fixed point index theory in cones.
