Interval oscillation criteria for second order self-adjoint matrix differential systems with damping

Qigui Yang (2002)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

By using the generalized Riccati technique and the averaging technique, we establish new oscillation criteria for the second order self-adjoint matrix differential system with damping (P(t)Y'(t))' + r(t)P(t)Y'(t) + Q(t)Y(t) = 0, t ≥ t₀. The criteria are different from most known ones in the sense that they are based on the information only on a sequence of subintervals of [t₀,∞), rather than on the whole half-line. In particular, our results complement a number of...

Interval Oscillation for Second Order Nonlinear Differential Equations with a Damping Term

Hassan, Taher S. (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 34C10, 34C15.It is the purpose of this paper to give oscillation criteria for the second order nonlinear differential equation with a damping term (a(t) y′(t))′ + p(t)y′(t) + q(t) |y(t)| α−1 y(t) = 0, t ≥ t0, where α ≥ 1, a ∈ C1([t0,∞);(0,∞)) and p,q ∈ C([t0,∞);R). Our results here are different, generalize and improve some known results for oscillation of second order nonlinear differential equations that are different from most known ones in the sencse...

Intracellular Modelling of Cell-Matrix Adhesion during Cancer Cell Invasion

V. Andasari, M.A.J. Chaplain (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

When invading the tissue, malignant tumour cells (i.e. cancer cells) need to detach from neighbouring cells, degrade the basement membrane, and migrate through the extracellular matrix. These processes require loss of cell-cell adhesion and enhancement of cell-matrix adhesion. In this paper we present a mathematical model of an intracellular pathway for the interactions between a cancer cell and the extracellular matrix. Cancer cells use similar...

Invariant tori for periodically perturbed oscillators.

Carmen Chicone (1997)

Publicacions Matemàtiques

The response of an oscillator to a small amplitude periodic excitation is discussed. In particular, sufficient conditions are formulated for the perturbed oscillator to have an invariant torus in the phase cylinder. When such an invariant torus exists, some perturbed solutions are in the basin of attraction of this torus and are thus entrained to the dynamical behavior of the perturbed system on the torus. In particular, the perturbed solutions in the basin of attraction of the invariant torus are...

Inverse problems in the theory of analytic planar vector fields.

Natalia Sadovskaia, Rafael O. Ramírez (1998)

Revista Matemática Iberoamericana

In this communication we state and analyze the new inverse problems in the theory of differential equations related to the construction of an analytic planar verctor field from a given, finite number of solutions, trajectories or partial integrals.Likewise, we study the problem of determining a stationary complex analytic vector field Γ from a given, finite subset of terms in the formal power series (...).

Inversion in indirect optimal control of multivariable systems

François Chaplais, Nicolas Petit (2008)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

This paper presents the role of vector relative degree in the formulation of stationarity conditions of optimal control problems for affine control systems. After translating the dynamics into a normal form, we study the Hamiltonian structure. Stationarity conditions are rewritten with a limited number of variables. The approach is demonstrated on two and three inputs systems, then, we prove a formal result in the general case. A mechanical system example serves as illustration.
