Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue of Symmetry is devoted to recent advances in non-linear analysis and its applications.

The growing significance of non-linear analysis and its applications has been realized in the recent years. This is due not only to theoretical achievements in this area, but also because of numerous applications to engineering, economics, biology, behavioral sciences, etc. It has become more and more evident that non-linear analysis is of crucial importance in the mathematical sciences. Its ideas and methods have turned out to be essential tools in the analysis of non-linear phenomena in many areas of mathematics. Among these areas, one can mention ordinary differential equations, partial differential equations, non-linear operator theory, the calculus of variations, optimal control theory, optimization, and mathematical economics.

Our aim is for this Special Issue to be valuable to mathematicians and applied scientists who are interested in recent developments in nonlinear analysis and its applications. Please note that all submitted papers must be within the general scope of the Symmetry journal.

In this article we present the Lp, p1, approximation properties of activated singular integral operators over the real line. We establish their approximation to the unit operator with rates. The kernels here come from neural network activation functions and we employ the related density functions. The derived inequalities use the high order Lp modulus of smoothness. Full article

This study looks closely into the analysis of the variation of constants formula given by Φ(t)=S(t)Φ(0)+0tS(tσ)F(σ,Φ(σ))dσ, for t[0,T],T>0, within the context of modular function spaces Lρ. Additionally, this research explores practical applications of the variation of constants formula in variable exponent Lebesgue spaces Lp(·). Specifically, the study examines these spaces under certain conditions applied to the exponent function p(·) and the functions F as well as the semigroup S(t), utilizing the symmetry properties of the algebraic semigroup. This investigation sheds light on the intricate interplay between parameters and functions within these mathematical frameworks, offering valuable insights into their behavior and properties in Lp(·).

Several types of linear and nonlinear singularly perturbed time-delay differential systems are considered. Asymptotic stability of the linear systems and asymptotic stability of the trivial solution of the nonlinear systems, valid for any sufficiently small value of the parameter of singular perturbation, are analyzed. For the stability analysis in the linear case, a partial exact slow–fast decomposition of the original system and an application of the Symmetric Matrix Riccati Equation method are proposed. Such an analysis yields parameter-free conditions, providing the asymptotic stability of the considered linear singularly perturbed time-delay differential systems for any sufficiently small value of the parameter of singular perturbation. Using the asymptotic stability results for the considered linear systems and the method of asymptotic stability in the first approximation, parameter-free conditions, guaranteeing the asymptotic stability of the trivial solution to the considered nonlinear systems for any sufficiently small value of the parameter of singular perturbation, are derived. Illustrative examples are presented. Full article

This paper discusses the existence of positive radial symmetric solutions of the nonlinear biharmonic equation 2u=f(u,u) on an annular domain Ω in RN with the Navier boundary conditions u|Ω=0 and u|Ω=0, where f:R+×RR+ is a continuous function. We present some some inequality conditions of f to obtain the existence results of positive radial symmetric solutions. These inequality conditions allow f(ξ,η) to have superlinear or sublinear growth on ξ,η as |(ξ,η)|0 and ∞. Our discussion is mainly based on the fixed-point index theory in cones. Full article

The aim of this paper is to study the coupled fixed point of a class of mixed monotone operators in the setting of a subordinate semimetric space. Using the symmetry between the subordinate semimetric space and a JS-space, we generalize the results of Senapati and Dey on JS-spaces. In this paper, we obtain some coupled fixed point results and support them with some examples. Full article

We investigate the existence of solutions for the Fredholm integral equation Φ(ϑ)=G(ϑ,Φ(ϑ))+01F(ϑ,ζ,Φ(ζ))dζ, for ϑ[0,1], in the setting of the modular function spaces Lρ. We also derive an application of this research within the framework of variable exponent Lebesgue spaces Lp(·) subject to specific conditions imposed on the exponent function p(·) and the functions F and G.

In 2006, together with D. Butnariu, we showed that if all iterates of a nonexpansive self-mapping of a complete metric space converge, then all its inexact iterates with summable computational errors converge too. In a recent paper of ours, we have extended this result to uniformly locally nonexpansive self-mappings of a complete metric space. In the present paper, we establish analogous results for uniformly locally nonexpansive mappings which take a nonempty closed subset of a complete metric space into the space. In the particular case of a Banach space, if the operator is symmetric, then the set of all limit points of its iterates is also symmetric. Full article

We consider a Dirichlet problem, which is a perturbation of the eigenvalue problem for the anisotropic p-Laplacian. We assume that the perturbation is (p(z)1)-sublinear, and we prove an existence and nonexistence theorem for positive solutions as the parameter λ moves on the positive semiaxis. We also show the existence of a smallest positive solution and determine the monotonicity and continuity properties of the minimal solution map. Full article

The influence of neutrosophy on many fields of science and technology, as well as its numerous applications, are evident. Our motivation is to apply neutrosophy for the first time in order to improve methods for solving unconstrained optimization. Particularly, in this research, we propose and investigate an improvement of line search methods for solving unconstrained nonlinear optimization models. The improvement is based on the application of symmetry involved in neutrosophic logic in determining appropriate step size for the class of descent direction methods. Theoretical analysis is performed to show the convergence of proposed iterations under the same conditions as for the related standard iterations. Mutual comparison and analysis of generated numerical results reveal better behavior of the suggested iterations compared with analogous available iterations considering the Dolan and Moré performance profiles and statistical ranking. Statistical comparison also reveals advantages of the neutrosophic improvements of the considered line search optimization methods. Full article

Many practical applications in applied sciences such as imaging, signal processing, and motion control can be reformulated into a system of nonlinear equations with or without constraints. In this paper, a new descent projection iterative algorithm for solving a nonlinear system of equations with convex constraints is proposed. The new approach is based on a modified symmetric rank-one updating formula. The search direction of the proposed algorithm mimics the behavior of a spectral conjugate gradient algorithm where the spectral parameter is determined so that the direction is sufficiently descent. Based on the assumption that the underlying function satisfies monotonicity and Lipschitz continuity, the convergence result of the proposed algorithm is discussed. Subsequently, the efficiency of the new method is revealed. As an application, the proposed algorithm is successfully implemented on image deblurring problem. Full article
