Dynamical Models of Interrelation in a Class of Artificial Networks
2020
The system of ordinary differential equations that models a type of artificial networks is considered. The system consists of a sigmoidal function that depends on linear combinations of the arguments minus the linear part. The linear combinations of the arguments are described by the regulatory matrix W. For the three-dimensional cases, several types of matrices W are considered and the behavior of solutions of the system is analyzed. The attractive sets are constructed for most cases. The illustrative examples are provided. The list of references consists of 12 items.
On the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of third-order nonlinear neutral differential equations
2020
Abstract By using comparison principles, we analyze the asymptotic behavior of solutions to a class of third-order nonlinear neutral differential equations. Due to less restrictive assumptions on the coefficients of the equation and on the deviating argument τ , our criteria improve a number of related results reported in the literature.
Relaxation for a Class of Control Systems with Unilateral Constraints
2019
We consider a nonlinear control system involving a maximal monotone map and with a priori feedback. We assume that the control constraint multifunction $U(t,x)$ is nonconvex valued and only lsc in the $x \in \mathbb{R}^{N}$ variable. Using the Q-regularization (in the sense of Cesari) of $U(t,\cdot )$, we introduce a relaxed system. We show that this relaxation process is admissible.
FROM DISCRETE KINETIC AND STOCHASTIC GAME THEORY TO MODELLING COMPLEX SYSTEMS IN APPLIED SCIENCES
2004
This paper deals with some methodological aspects related to the discretization of a class of integro-differential equations modelling the evolution of the probability distribution over the microscopic state of a large system of interacting individuals. The microscopic state includes both mechanical and socio-biological variables. The discretization of the microscopic state generates a class of dynamical systems defining the evolution of the densities of the discretized state. In general, this yields a system of partial differential equations replacing the continuous integro-differential equation. As an example, a specific application is discussed, which refers to modelling in the field of…
Periodic solutions of a class of non-autonomous second order differential equations with discontinuous right-hand side
2012
Abstract The main goal of this paper is to discuss the existence of periodic solutions of the second order equation: y ″ + η sgn ( y ) = α sin ( β t ) with ( η , α , β ) ∈ R 3 η > 0 . We analyze the dynamics of such an equation around the origin which is a typical singularity of non-smooth dynamical systems. The main results consist in exhibiting conditions on the existence of typical periodic solutions that appear generically in such systems. We emphasize that the mechanism employed here is applicable to many more systems. In fact this work fits into a general program for understanding the dynamics of non-autonomous differential equations with discontinuous right-hand sides.
A Generalised RBF Finite Difference Approach to Solve Nonlinear Heat Conduction Problems on Unstructured Datasets
2011
Radial Basis Functions have traditionally been used to provide a continuous interpolation of scattered data sets. However, this interpolation also allows for the reconstruction of partial derivatives throughout the solution field, which can then be used to drive the solution of a partial differential equation. Since the interpolation takes place on a scattered dataset with no local connectivity, the solution is essentially meshless. RBF-based methods have been successfully used to solve a wide variety of PDEs in this fashion. Such full-domain RBF methods are highly flexible and can exhibit spectral convergence rates Madych & Nelson (1990). However, in their traditional implementation the fu…
A comparison analysis between unsymmetric and symmetric radial basis function collocation methods for the numerical solution of partial differential …
2002
Abstract In this article, we present a thorough numerical comparison between unsymmetric and symmetric radial basis function collocation methods for the numerical solution of boundary value problems for partial differential equations. A series of test examples was solved with these two schemes, different problems with different type of governing equations, and boundary conditions. Particular emphasis was paid to the ability of these schemes to solve the steady-state convection-diffusion equation at high values of the Peclet number. From the examples tested in this work, it was observed that the system of algebraic equations obtained with the symmetric method was in general simpler to solve …
Parabolic Equations Minimizing Linear Growth Functionals: L1-Theory
2004
Let Ω be a bounded set in ℝN with boundary of class C1. We are interested in the problem $$ \left\{ \begin{gathered} \frac{{\partial u}} {{\partial t}} = diva\left( {x,Du} \right)in Q = \left( {0,\infty } \right) \times \Omega , \hfill \\ u\left( {t,x} \right) = \phi \left( x \right)on S = \left( {0,\infty } \right) \times \partial \Omega , \hfill \\ u\left( {0,x} \right) = u_0 \left( x \right)in x \in \Omega \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \right. $$ (1) where ϕ ∈ L1(∂Ω), u0 ∈ L2(Ω) and a(x, ξ) = ∇ξ f(x, ξ, f being a function with linear growth in ‖ξ‖ as ‖ξ‖ → ∞. One of the classical examples is the nonparametric area integrand for which \( f(x,\xi ) = \sqrt {1 + \left\| \xi \right\|^2 } \). Prob…
Differential equations over polynomially bounded o-minimal structures
2002
We investigate the asymptotic behavior at +∞ of non-oscillatory solutions to differential equations y' = G(t, y), t > a, where G: R 1+l → R l is definable in a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure. In particular, we show that the Pfaffian closure of a polynomially bounded o-minimal structure on the real field is levelled.

2016
The aim of this article is to investigate the periodic nature of solutions of a rational difference equation $$x_{n+1}=\frac{\alpha }{(1+x_n)x_{n-1}}. {(*)} $$ We explore Open Problem 3.3 given in Amleh et al. (Int J Differ Equ 3(1):1–35, 2008, [2]) that requires to determine all periodic solutions of the equation (*). We conclude that for the equation (*) there are no periodic solution with prime period 3 and 4. Period 7 is first period for which exists nonnegative parameter \(\alpha \) and nonnegative initial conditions.
