Fixed point theorems on ordered metric spaces and applications to nonlinear elastic beam equations
2012
In this paper, we establish certain fixed point theorems in metric spaces with a partial ordering. Presented theorems extend and generalize several existing results in the literature. As application, we use the fixed point theorems obtained in this paper to study existence and uniqueness of solutions for fourth-order two-point boundary value problems for elastic beam equations.
Bifurcations of links of periodic orbits in non-singular Morse - Smale systems on
1997
The set of periodic orbits of a non-singular Morse - Smale (NMS) flow on defines a link; a characterization of all possible links of NMS flows on has been developed by Wada. In the frame of codimension-one bifurcations, this characterization allows us to study the restrictions a link requires for suffering a given bifurcation. We also derive the topological description of the new link and the possibility of relating links by a chain of this type of bifurcation.
On a new proof of Moser's twist mapping theorem
1976
Based on a new idea of the author, a new proof of J. Moser's twist mapping theorem is presented.
Solving coupled Riccati matrix differential systems
1991
Abstract We start by noting that coupled Riccati matrix differential systems appearing in differential games may be considered as a single rectangular Riccati equation. An explicit solution of the coupled differential system in terms of a solution of the associated algebraic Riccati equation is given.
Visible parts and dimensions
2003
We study the visible parts of subsets of n-dimensional Euclidean space: a point a of a compact set A is visible from an affine subspace K of n, if the line segment joining PK(a) to a only intersects A at a (here PK denotes projection onto K). The set of all such points visible from a given subspace K is called the visible part of A from K. We prove that if the Hausdorff dimension of a compact set is at most n−1, then the Hausdorff dimension of a visible part is almost surely equal to the Hausdorff dimension of the set. On the other hand, provided that the set has Hausdorff dimension larger than n−1, we have the almost sure lower bound n−1 for the Hausdorff dimensions of visible parts. We al…
On a global superconvergence of the gradient of linear triangular elements
1987
Abstract We study a simple superconvergent scheme which recovers the gradient when solving a second-order elliptic problem in the plane by the usual linear elements. The recovered gradient globally approximates the true gradient even by one order of accuracy higher in the L 2 -norm than the piecewise constant gradient of the Ritz—Galerkin solution. A superconvergent approximation to the boundary flux is presented as well.
Multiple periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with not coercive potential
2010
Under an appropriate oscillating behavior of the nonlinear term, the existence of infinitely many periodic solutions for a class of second order Hamiltonian systems is established. Moreover, the existence of two non-trivial periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with not coercive potential is obtained, and the existence of three periodic solutions for Hamiltonian systems with coercive potential is pointed out. The approach is based on critical point theorems. © 2009 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
Local behaviour of singular solutions for nonlinear elliptic equations in divergence form
2012
We consider the following class of nonlinear elliptic equations $$\begin{array}{ll}{-}{\rm div}(\mathcal{A}(|x|)\nabla u) +u^q=0\quad {\rm in}\; B_1(0)\setminus\{0\}, \end{array}$$ where q > 1 and $${\mathcal{A}}$$ is a positive C 1(0,1] function which is regularly varying at zero with index $${\vartheta}$$ in (2−N,2). We prove that all isolated singularities at zero for the positive solutions are removable if and only if $${\Phi\not\in L^q(B_1(0))}$$ , where $${\Phi}$$ denotes the fundamental solution of $${-{\rm div}(\mathcal{A}(|x|)\nabla u)=\delta_0}$$ in $${\mathcal D'(B_1(0))}$$ and δ0 is the Dirac mass at 0. Moreover, we give a complete classification of the behaviour near zero of al…
A geometrical criterion for nonexistence of constant-sign solutions for some third-order two-point boundary value problems
2020
We give a simple geometrical criterion for the nonexistence of constant-sign solutions for a certain type of third-order two-point boundary value problem in terms of the behavior of nonlinearity in the equation. We also provide examples to illustrate the applicability of our results.
Non-linear oscillators under parametric and external poisson pulses
1994
The extended Ito calculus for non-normal excitations is applied in order to study the response behaviour of some non-linear oscillators subjected to Poisson pulses. The results obtained show that the non-normality of the input can strongly affect the response, so that, in general, it can not be neglected.
