Functional-differential equations with Riemann-Liouville integrals in the nonlinearities

Milan Medveď (2014)

Mathematica Bohemica

A sufficient condition for the nonexistence of blowing-up solutions to evolution functional-differential equations in Banach spaces with the Riemann-Liouville integrals in their right-hand sides is proved. The linear part of such type of equations is an infinitesimal generator of a strongly continuous semigroup of linear bounded operators. The proof of the main result is based on a desingularization method applied by the author in his papers on integral inequalities with weakly singular kernels....

Gamma-convergence results for phase-field approximations of the 2D-Euler Elastica Functional

Luca Mugnai (2013)

ESAIM: Control, Optimisation and Calculus of Variations

We establish some new results about the Γ-limit, with respect to the L1-topology, of two different (but related) phase-field approximations { } , { ˜ } ℰ ε ε ,   x10ff65; ℰ ε ε of the so-called Euler’s Elastica Bending Energy for curves in the plane. In particular we characterize theΓ-limit as ε → 0 of ℰε, and show that in general the Γ-limits of ℰεand ˜ x10ff65; ℰ ε do not coincide on indicator functions of sets with non-smooth boundary. More precisely we show that the domain of theΓ-limit of ˜ x10ff65;...

Generalization of the Kermack-McKendrick SIR Model to a Patchy Environment for a Disease with Latency

J. Li, X. Zou (2009)

Mathematical Modelling of Natural Phenomena

In this paper, with the assumptions that an infectious disease has a fixed latent period in a population and the latent individuals of the population may disperse, we reformulate an SIR model for the population living in two patches (cities, towns, or countries etc.), which is a generalization of the classic Kermack-McKendrick SIR model. The model is given by a system of delay differential equations with a fixed delay accounting for the latency and non-local terms caused by the mobility of the...
