This paper deals with linear partial differential-algebraic equations (PDAEs) which have a hyperbolic part. If the spatial differential operator satisfies a Gårding-type inequality in a suitable function space setting, a perturbation index can be defined. Theoretical and practical examples are considered.

We consider perturbations of the harmonic map equation in the case where the source and target manifolds are closed riemannian manifolds and the latter is in addition of nonpositive sectional curvature. For any semilinear and, under some extra conditions, quasilinear perturbation, the space of classical solutions within a homotopy class is proved to be compact. For generic perturbations the set of solutions is finite and we present a count of this set. An important ingredient for our analysis is...

We establish new existence results for nontrivial solutions of some integral inclusions of Hammerstein type, that are perturbed with an affine functional. In order to use a theory of fixed point index for multivalued mappings, we work in a cone of continuous functions that are positive on a suitable subinterval of $[0,1]$. We also discuss the optimality of some constants that occur in our theory. We improve, complement and extend previous results in the literature.

We study linear rough differential equations and we solve perturbed linear rough differential equations using the Duhamel principle. These results provide us with a key technical point to study the regularity of the differential of the Itô map in a subsequent article. Also, the notion of linear rough differential equations leads to consider multiplicative functionals with values in Banach algebras more general than tensor algebras and to consider extensions of classical results such as the Magnus...

Pointwise completeness and pointwise degeneracy of positive fractional descriptor continuous-time linear systems with regular pencils are addressed. Conditions for pointwise completeness and pointwise degeneracy of the systems are established and illustrated by an example.

Let k be a field of characteristic zero. We describe the kernel of any quadratic homogeneous derivation d:k[x,y,z] → k[x,y,z] of the form $d=x(Cy+z)\frac{\partial }{\partial x}+y(Az+x)\frac{\partial }{\partial y}+z(Bx+y)\frac{\partial }{\partial z}$, called the Lotka-Volterra derivation, where A,B,C ∈ k.

In this paper, we employ some new techniques to study the existence of positive periodic solution of $n$-species neutral delay system $$N_i^{\text{'}}\left(t\right)=N_i\left(t\right)\left[a_i\left(t\right)-\sum _{j=1}^n{\beta }_{ij}\left(t\right)N_j\left(t\right)-\sum _{j=1}^n{b}_{ij}\left(t\right)N_j(t-{\tau }_{ij}\left(t\right))-\sum _{j=1}^n{c}_{ij}\left(t\right)N_j^{\text{'}}(t-{\tau }_{ij}\left(t\right))\right].$$ As a corollary, we answer an open problem proposed by Y. Kuang.
