Multi-dimensional Cartan prolongation and special k-flags

Piotr Mormul (2004)

Banach Center Publications

Since the mid-nineties it has gradually become understood that the Cartan prolongation of rank 2 distributions is a key operation leading locally, when applied many times, to all so-called Goursat distributions. That is those, whose derived flag of consecutive Lie squares is a 1-flag (growing in ranks always by 1). We first observe that successive generalized Cartan prolongations (gCp) of rank k + 1 distributions lead locally to all special k-flags: rank k + 1 distributions D with the derived...

Multiple periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with singular potential

Addolorata Salvatore (1992)

In this Note we prove the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions of prescribed period for a Hamiltonian system with a singular potential.

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

Lingbin Kong, Daqing Jiang (1998)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

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 .

Multiple solutions for nonlinear periodic problems with discontinuities

Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou, Nikolaos Yannakakis (2002)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we consider a periodic problem driven by the one dimensional p -Laplacian and with a discontinuous right hand side. We pass to a multivalued problem, by filling in the gaps at the discontinuity points. Then for the multivalued problem, using the nonsmooth critical point theory, we establish the existence of at least three distinct periodic solutions.

Multi-type synchronization of impulsive coupled oscillators via topology degree

Yingjie Bi, Zhidan Cai, Shuai Wang (2024)

Applications of Mathematics

The existence of synchronization is an important issue in complex dynamical networks. In this paper, we study the synchronization of impulsive coupled oscillator networks with the aid of rotating periodic solutions of impulsive system. The type of synchronization is closely related to the rotating matrix, which gives an insight for finding various types of synchronization in a united way. We transform the synchronization of impulsive coupled oscillators into the existence of rotating periodic solutions...
