On the Composition Operator in AC[a,b].

Nelson Merentes (1991)

Collectanea Mathematica

Denote by F the composition operator generated by a given function f: R --> R, acting on the space of absolutely continuous functions. In this paper we prove that the composition operator F maps the space AC[a,b] into itself if and only if f satisfies a local Lipschitz condition on R.

On the Conley index in Hilbert spaces in the absence of uniqueness

Marek Izydorek, Krzysztof P. Rybakowski (2002)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Consider the ordinary differential equation (1) ẋ = Lx + K(x) on an infinite-dimensional Hilbert space E, where L is a bounded linear operator on E which is assumed to be strongly indefinite and K: E → E is a completely continuous but not necessarily locally Lipschitzian map. Given any isolating neighborhood N relative to equation (1) we define a Conley-type index of N. This index is based on Galerkin approximation of equation (1) by finite-dimensional ODEs and extends...

On the controllability of fractional dynamical systems

Krishnan Balachandran, Jayakumar Kokila (2012)

International Journal of Applied Mathematics and Computer Science

This paper is concerned with the controllability of linear and nonlinear fractional dynamical systems in finite dimensional spaces. Sufficient conditions for controllability are obtained using Schauder's fixed point theorem and the controllability Grammian matrix which is defined by the Mittag-Leffler matrix function. Examples are given to illustrate the effectiveness of the theory.

On the convergence and application of Stirling's method

Ioannis K. Argyros (2003)

Applicationes Mathematicae

We provide new sufficient convergence conditions for the local and semilocal convergence of Stirling's method to a locally unique solution of a nonlinear operator equation in a Banach space setting. In contrast to earlier results we do not make use of the basic restrictive assumption in [8] that the norm of the Fréchet derivative of the operator involved is strictly bounded above by 1. The study concludes with a numerical example where our results compare favorably with earlier ones.
