A positive solution for singular discrete boundary value problems with sign-changing nonlinearities.
MSC 2010: 26A33, 05C72, 33E12, 34A08, 34K37, 35R11, 60G22The fractional calculus (FC) is an area of intensive research and development. In a previous paper and poster we tried to exhibit its recent state, surveying the period of 1966-2010. The poster accompanying the present note illustrates the major contributions during the period 1695-1970, the "old history" of FC.
MSC 2010: 26A33, 05C72, 33E12, 34A08, 34K37, 35R11, 60G22In the last decades fractional calculus became an area of intense re-search and development. The accompanying poster illustrates the major contributions during the period 1966-2010.
FEM discretizations of arbitrary order are considered for a singularly perturbed one-dimensional reaction-diffusion problem whose solution exhibits strong layers. A posteriori error bounds of interpolation type are derived in the maximum norm. An adaptive algorithm is devised to resolve the boundary layers. Numerical experiments complement our theoretical results.
We investigate a Lotka-Volterra predator-prey model with state dependent impulsive effects, in which the control strategies by releasing natural enemies and spraying pesticide at different thresholds are considered. We present some sufficient conditions to guarantee the existence and asymptotical stability of semi-trivial periodic solutions and positive periodic solutions.
One of the current debate about simulating the electrical activity in the heart is the following: Using a realistic anatomical setting, i.e. realistic geometries, fibres orientations, etc., is it enough to use a simplified 2-variable phenomenological model to reproduce the main characteristics of the cardiac action potential propagation, and in what sense is it sufficient? Using a combination of dimensional and asymptotic analysis, together with the well-known Mitchell − Schaeffer model, it is shown...
It is shown that the uniform exponential stability and the uniform stability at permanently acting disturbances of a sufficiently smooth but not necessarily steady-state solution of a general variational inequality is a consequence of the uniform exponential stability of a zero solution of another (so called linearized) variational inequality.
This paper is devoted to the problem of existence of a solution for a non-resonant, non-linear generalized multi-point boundary value problem on the interval . The existence of a solution is obtained using topological degree and some a priori estimates for functions satisfying the boundary conditions specified in the problem.
If the so-called Collatz method is applied to get twosided estimates of the first eigenvalue , the sequences of the so-called Schwarz quatients (which are upper bounds for ) and of the so-called Temple quotients (which are lower bounds) are constructed. While monotony of the first sequence was proved many years ago, monotony of the second one has been proved only recently by F. goerisch and J. Albrecht in their common paper “Die Monotonie der Templeschen Quotienten” (ZAMM, in print). In the present...
