We consider boundary value problems for nonlinear $2m$th-order eigenvalue problem $$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill {(-1)}^m{u}^{\left(2m\right)}\left(t\right)& =\lambda a\left(t\right)f\left(u\right(t\left)\right),0<t<1,\hfill \\ \hfill u^{\left(2i\right)}\left(0\right)& =u^{\left(2i\right)}\left(1\right)=0,i=0,1,2,\cdots ,m-1.\hfill \end{array}$$ where $a\in C\left(\right[0,1],[0,\infty \left)\right)$ and $a\left(t_0\right)>0$ for some $t_0\in [0,1]$, $f\in C\left(\right[0,\infty ),[0,\infty \left)\right)$ and $f\left(s\right)>0$ for $s>0$, and $f_0=\infty$, where $f_0={lim}_{s\to 0^{+}}f\left(s\right)/s$. We investigate the global structure of positive solutions by using Rabinowitz’s global bifurcation theorem.

We establish global existence and scattering for radial solutions to the energy-critical focusing Hartree equation with energy and Ḣ¹ norm less than those of the ground state in $ℝ\times {ℝ}^d$, d ≥ 5.

The gradient method is developed for non-injective non-linear operators in Hilbert space that satisfy a translation invariance condition. The focus is on a class of non-differentiable operators. Linear convergence in norm is obtained. The method can be applied to quasilinear elliptic boundary value problems with Neumann boundary conditions.

We deal with a class on nonlinear Schrödinger equations (NLS) with potentials $V\left(x\right)\sim {\left|x\right|}^{-\alpha }$, $0<\alpha <2$, and $K\left(x\right)\sim {\left|x\right|}^{-\beta }$, $\beta >0$. Working in weighted Sobolev spaces, the existence of ground states $v_{\epsilon }$ belonging to $W^{1,2}\left({ℝ}^N\right)$ is proved under the assumption that $\sigma <p<(N+2)/\left(N-2\right)$ for some $\sigma ={\sigma }_{N,\alpha ,\beta }$. Furthermore, it is shown that $v_{\epsilon }$ are spikes concentrating at a minimum point of $𝒜=V^{\theta }{K}^{-2/\left(p-1\right)}$, where $\theta =(p+1)/\left(p-1\right)-1/2$.

Systems of operator-differential equations with hysteresis operators can have unstable equilibrium points with an open basin of attraction. Such equilibria can have homoclinic orbits attached to them, and these orbits are robust. In this paper a population dynamics model with hysteretic response of the prey to variations of the predator is introduced. In this model the prey moves between two patches, and the derivative of the Preisach operator is used to describe the hysteretic flow between the...

The paper deals with a scalar diffusion equation $c{u}_t={\left(F\left[u_x\right]\right)}_x+f,$ where $F$ is a Prandtl-Ishlinskii operator and $c,f$ are given functions. In the diffusion or heat conduction equation the linear constitutive relation is replaced by a scalar Prandtl-Ishlinskii hysteresis spatially dependent operator. We prove existence, uniqueness and regularity of solution to the corresponding initial-boundary value problem. The problem is then homogenized by considering a sequence of equations of the above type with spatially periodic...
