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 existence and the stability of solutions for higher-order semilinear Dirichlet problems

Marek Galewski, M. Płócienniczak (2007)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We investigate the existence and stability of solutions for higher-order two-point boundary value problems in case the differential operator is not necessarily positive definite, i.e. with superlinear nonlinearities. We write an abstract realization of the Dirichlet problem and provide abstract existence and stability results which are further applied to concrete problems.

On the existence of multiple solutions for a nonlocal BVP with vector-valued response

Andrzej Nowakowski, Aleksandra Orpel (2006)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The existence of positive solutions for a nonlocal boundary-value problem with vector-valued response is investigated. We develop duality and variational principles for this problem. Our variational approach enables us to approximate solutions and give a measure of a duality gap between the primal and dual functional for minimizing sequences.

On the existence of one-signed periodic solutions of some differential equations of second order

Jan Ligęza (2006)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

We study the existence of one-signed periodic solutions of the equations x ' ' ( t ) - a 2 ( t ) x ( t ) + μ f ( t , x ( t ) , x ' ( t ) ) = 0 , x ' ' ( t ) + a 2 ( t ) x ( t ) = μ f ( t , x ( t ) , x ' ( t ) ) , where μ > 0 , a : ( - , + ) ( 0 , ) is continuous and 1-periodic, f is a continuous and 1-periodic in the first variable and may take values of different signs. The Krasnosielski fixed point theorem on cone is used.

On the existence of optimal controls for nonlinear infinite dimensional systems

Antonella Fiacca, Nikolaos S. Papageorgiou, Francesca Papalini (1998)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

We consider nonlinear systems with a priori feedback. We establish the existence of admissible pairs and then we show that the Lagrange optimal control problem admits an optimal pair. As application we work out in detail two examples of optimal control problems for nonlinear parabolic partial differential equations.
