On Lyapunov stability/instability of equilibria of free damped pendulum with periodically oscillating suspension point

Jiří Šremr (2025)

Applications of Mathematics

We discuss Lyapunov stability/instability of both lower and upper equilibria of free damped pendulum with periodically oscillating suspension point. We recall the results of Bogolyubov and Kapitza, provide new effective criteria of stability/instability of the equilibria of pendulum equation, and give the exact and complete proofs. The criteria obtained are formulated in terms of positivity/negativity of Green's functions of the periodic boundary value problems for linearized equations. Furthermore,...

On small solutions of second order differential equations with random coefficients

László Hatvani, László Stachó (1998)

Archivum Mathematicum

We consider the equation x ' ' + a 2 ( t ) x = 0 , a ( t ) : = a k if t k - 1 t < t k , for k = 1 , 2 , ... , where { a k } is a given increasing sequence of positive numbers, and { t k } is chosen at random so that { t k - t k - 1 } are totally independent random variables uniformly distributed on interval [ 0 , 1 ] . We determine the probability of the event that all solutions of the equation tend to zero as t .

On the Dynamics of a Two-Strain Influenza Model with Isolation

F. Chamchod, N.F. Britton (2012)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

Influenza has been responsible for human suffering and economic burden worldwide. Isolation is one of the most effective means to control the disease spread. In this work, we incorporate isolation into a two-strain model of influenza. We find that whether strains of influenza die out or coexist, or only one of them persists, it depends on the basic reproductive number of each influenza strain, cross-immunity between strains, and isolation rate. We propose criteria that may be useful for controlling...

On the Dynamics of an Impulsive Model of Hematopoiesis

C. Kou, M. Adimy, A. Ducrot (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

We propose and analyze a nonlinear mathematical model of hematopoiesis, describing the dynamics of stem cell population subject to impulsive perturbations. This is a system of two age-structured partial differential equations with impulses. By integrating these equations over the age, we obtain a system of two nonlinear impulsive differential equations with several discrete delays. This system describes the evolution of the total hematopoietic stem cell populations with impulses. We first examine...
