The paper deals with the multivalued boundary value problem x ′ ∈ A(t,x)x + F(t,x) for a.a. t ∈ [a, b], Mx(a) + Nx(b) = 0, in a separable, reflexive Banach space E. The nonlinearity F is weakly upper semicontinuous in x. We prove the existence of global solutions in the Sobolev space W1,p([a, b], E) with 1 < p < ∞ endowed with the weak topology. We consider the case of multiple solutions of the associated homogeneous linearized problem. An example completes the discussion.
In this paper we investigate the problem of existence and asymptotic behavior of solutions for the nonlinear boundary value problem εy ′′ + ky = f(t, y), t ∈ ha,bi, k < 0, 0 < ε ≪ 1 satisfying three point boundary conditions. Our analysis relies on the method of lower and upper solutions and delicate estimations.
We study the method of layer potentials for manifolds with boundary and cylindrical ends. The fact that the boundary is non-compact prevents us from using the standard characterization of Fredholm or compact pseudo-differential operators between Sobolev spaces, as, for example, in the works of Fabes-Jodeit-Lewis and Kral-Wedland . We first study the layer potentials depending on a parameter on compact manifolds. This then yields the invertibility of the relevant boundary integral operators in the global, non-compact setting. As an application, we prove a well-posedness result for the non-homogeneous Dirichlet problem on manifolds with boundary and cylindrical ends. We also prove the existence of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map, which we show to be a pseudodifferential operator in the calculus of pseudodifferential operators that are “almost translation invariant at infinity”.
We use the method of quasilinearization to boundary value problems of ordinary differential equations showing that the corresponding monotone iterations converge to the unique solution of our problem and this convergence is quadratic.
If $Y$ is a subset of the space $\mathbb{R}^{n}\times {\mathbb{R}^{n}}$, we call a pair of continuous functions $U$, $V$ $Y$-compatible, if they map the space $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ into itself and satisfy $Ux\cdot Vy\ge 0$, for all $(x,y)\in Y$ with $x\cdot y\ge {0}$. (Dot denotes inner product.) In this paper a nonlinear two point boundary value problem for a second order ordinary differential $n$-dimensional system is investigated, provided the boundary conditions are given via a pair of compatible mappings. By using a truncation of the initial equation and restrictions of its domain, Brouwer’s fixed point theorem is applied to the composition of the consequent mapping with some projections and a one-parameter family of fixed points $P_{\delta }$ is obtained. Then passing to the limits as $\delta $ tends to zero the so-obtained accumulation points are solutions of the problem.
Applying a simple integration by parts formula for the Henstock-Kurzweil integral, we obtain a simple proof of the Riesz representation theorem for the space of Henstock-Kurzweil integrable functions. Consequently, we give sufficient conditions for the existence and equality of two iterated Henstock-Kurzweil integrals.
The paper is concerned with oscillation properties of $n$-th order neutral differential equations of the form \[ [x(t)+cx(\tau (t))]^{(n)}+q(t)f\bigl (x(\sigma (t))\bigr )=0,\quad t\ge t_0>0, \] where $c$ is a real number with $|c|\ne 1$, $q\in C([t_0,\infty ),\mathbb R)$, $f\in C(\mathbb R,\mathbb R)$, $\tau ,\sigma \in C([t_0,\infty ),\mathbb R_+)$ with $\tau (t)<t$ and $\lim _{t\rightarrow \infty }\tau (t)=\lim _{t\rightarrow \infty }\sigma (t)=\infty $. Sufficient conditions are established for the existence of positive solutions and for oscillation of bounded solutions of the above equation. Combination of these conditions provides necessary and sufficient conditions for oscillation of bounded solutions of the equation. Furthermore, the results are generalized to equations in which $c$ is a function of $t$ and a certain type of a forcing term is present.
The main result of this paper is a sufficient condition for the existence of periodic switching signals which render asymptotically stable at the origin a linear switched process defined by a pair of 2×2 real matrices. The interest of this result is motivated by the application to the problem of bounded-input-bounded-state (with respect to an external input) stabilization of linear switched processes.
