Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Boundary value problems are usually associated with very-well-known real-life applications on the field of differential equations, and they are also providers of breakthrough developments on the theory of nonlinear analysis.

In this Special Issue, we will cover existence and localization results, based on the properties of Green's Function, of approximation theory, maximum principles, spectral analysis, and other techniques, providing special attention to original applied problems. Numerical analysis substantiating results re also valued.

Industrial problems, not directly relatable to differential equations but solved with nonlinear arguments, also fall within the scope of this Special Issue, so works focused on these matters are welcome to be submitted.

This article investigates the solvability problem of fourth-order differential equations with two-point boundary conditions; specifically, conclusions regarding sign-changing solutions are obtained. The methods used in this article are fixed-point theorems on lattices. Firstly, under some sublinear conditions, the existence of three nontrivial solutions is demonstrated, including a sign-changing solution, a negative solution and a positive solution. Secondly, under some unilaterally asymptotically linear and superlinear conditions, the existence of at least one sign-changing solution is proved. Finally, this article provides several specific examples to illustrate the obtained conclusions. Full article

This paper concerns with the existence of radial solutions of the biharmonic elliptic equation 2u=f(|x|,u,|u|,u) in an annular domain Ω={xRN:r1<|x|<r2}(N2) with the boundary conditions u|Ω=0 and u|Ω=0, where f:[r1,r2]×R×R+×RR is continuous. Under certain inequality conditions on f involving the principal eigenvalue λ1 of the Laplace operator with boundary condition u|Ω=0, an existence result and a uniqueness result are obtained. The inequality conditions allow for f(r,ξ,ζ,η) to be a superlinear growth on ξ,ζ,η as |(ξ,ζ,η)|. Our discussion is based on the Leray–Schauder fixed point theorem, spectral theory of linear operators and technique of prior estimates. Full article

Due to the restrictive growth and/or monotonicity requirements inherent in their employment, classical iterative fixed-point theorems are rarely used to approximate solutions to an integral operator with Green’s function kernel whose fixed points are solutions of a boundary value problem. In this paper, we show how one can decompose a fixed-point problem into multiple fixed-point problems that one can easily iterate to approximate a solution of a differential equation satisfying one boundary condition, then apply a bisection method in an intermediate value theorem argument to meet a second boundary condition. Error estimates on the iterates are also established. The technique will be illustrated on a second-order right focal boundary value problem, with an example provided showing how to apply the results. Full article

In this paper, we study the existence and exponential stability of solutions to a class of nonlinear delay Klein–Gordon wave type models on a bounded domain. Such models include multiple time-varying delays, frictional damping, and nonlinear logarithmic source terms. After showing the local existence result of the solutions using Faedo–Galerkin’s method and logarithmic Sobolev inequality, the global existence is analyzed. Then, under some appropriate conditions, energy decay estimates and exponential stability results of the global solutions are investigated. Full article

Here, we consider the phase field transition system (a nonlinear system of parabolic type) introduced by Caginalp to distinguish between the phases of the material that are involved in the solidification process. We start by investigating the solvability of such boundary value problems in the class Wp1,2(Q)×Wν1,2(Q). One proves the existence, the regularity, and the uniqueness of solutions, in the presence of the cubic nonlinearity type. On the basis of the convergence of an iterative scheme of the fractional steps type, a conceptual numerical algorithm, alg-frac_sec-ord-varphi_PHT, is elaborated in order to approximate the solution of the nonlinear parabolic problem. The advantage of such an approach is that the new method simplifies the numerical computations due to its decoupling feature. An example of the numerical implementation of the principal step in the conceptual algorithm is also reported. Some conclusions are given are also given as new directions to extend the results and methods presented in the present paper. Full article
