Second method of Lyapunov and existence of periodic solutions of linear impulsive differential-difference equations.
We give some theorems on continuity and differentiability with respect to (h,t) of the solution of a second order evolution problem with parameter . Our main tool is the theory of strongly continuous cosine families of linear operators in Banach spaces.
In this article, given a reference feasible trajectory of an optimal control problem, we say that the quadratic growth property for bounded strong solutions holds if the cost function of the problem has a quadratic growth over the set of feasible trajectories with a bounded control and with a state variable sufficiently close to the reference state variable. Our sufficient second-order optimality conditions in Pontryagin form ensure this property and ensure a fortiori that the reference trajectory...
This paper concerns the existence of mild solutions for fractional order integro-differential equations with infinite delay. Our analysis is based on the technique of Kuratowski’s measure of noncompactness and Mönch’s fixed point theorem. An example to illustrate the applications of main results is given.
In this paper we present some new existence results for singular positone and semipositone boundary value problems of second order delay differential equations. Throughout our nonlinearity may be singular in its dependent variable.
We consider the singularly perturbed set of periodic functional-differential matrix Riccati equations, associated with a periodic linear-quadratic optimal control problem for a singularly perturbed delay system. The delay is small of order of a small positive multiplier for a part of the derivatives in the system. A zero-order asymptotic solution to this set of Riccati equations is constructed and justified.
We study germs of smooth vector fields in a neighborhood of a fixed point having an hyperbolic linear part at this point. It is well known that the “small divisors” are invisible either for the smooth linearization or normal form problem. We prove that this is completely different in the smooth Gevrey category. We prove that a germ of smooth -Gevrey vector field with an hyperbolic linear part admits a smooth -Gevrey transformation to a smooth -Gevrey normal form. The Gevrey order depends on...
