A hydrodynamic-type system taking into account nonlocal effects is investigated. The exact traveling wave solutions including smooth solitary waves solutions, pseudo-peakons, periodic peakons, compactons, kink, and anti-kink wave solutions and so on are derived via the method of dynamical systems and the theory of singular traveling wave systems. It is worth pointing out that the uncountably infinitely

Any free nilpotent Lie algebra is determined by its rank and step. We consider free nilpotent Lie algebras of steps 3 and 4 and corresponding connected and simply connected Lie groups. We construct Casimir functions of such groups, i.e., invariants of the coadjoint representation. For free 3-step nilpotent Lie groups, we get a full description of coadjoint orbits. It turns out that general coadjoint

In this paper, we study the limit behavior of trajectories of a nonlinear and discontinuous model of opinion dynamics based on the notion of bounded confidence. This model was previously studied in the case where the influence function has the form i(v) = v. It was shown that, under a particular condition on parameters of the system, any its trajectory tends to a fixed point. In this paper, we prove

The upper bound on the degrees of irreducible Darboux polynomials associated to the ordinary differential equations \( x_{tt}+\varepsilon {x_{t}}^{2}+\eta x_{t}+f(x)=0 \) with \( f(x)\in \mathbb {C}[x]\setminus \mathbb {C} \) and ε ≠ 0 is derived. The availability of this bound provides the solution of the Poincaré problem. Results on uniqueness and existence of Darboux polynomials are presented. The

In this paper, when the predator breeds only by the prey, the relationship among the two classes of prey (susceptible and infected prey) and the predator is represented by using an epidemic model with nonlinear incidence and the response function depending on the density of the three individuals under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions describing a hostile environment at its boundary. For this

A first-order differential equation of Clairaut type has a family of classical solutions, and a singular solution when the contact singular set is not empty. The projection of a singular solution of Clairaut type is an envelope of a family of fronts (Legendre immersions). In these cases, the envelopes are always fronts. We investigate singular points of envelopes for first-order ordinary differential

One of the singularities of the convex hull of a generic hypersurface in \(\mathbb {R}^{4}\) leads to a generic sewing of two famous surfaces, the swallowtail and the Whitney umbrella, along their self-intersection lines. We prove that germs of all such sewings at the common endpoint of the self-intersection lines are diffeomorphic to each other with respect to diffeomorphisms of the ambient space

This paper is concerned with the (p, q)-Kirchhoff type equations, for which the existence of infinitely many high energy solutions is proved by employing the symmetric mountain pass lemma. Furthermore, an \(L^{\infty }\) estimate for the solutions is given by applying the Moser iteration technique.

Global solvability of a boundary value problem for a generalized Boussinesq model is proved in the case, when reaction coefficient depends nonlinearly on concentration of substance. Maximum principle is stated for substance’s concentration. Solvability of control problem is proved, when the role of controls is played by diffusion and mass exchange coefficients from the equations and from the boundary

The main objective of this paper is to study the optimal distributed control for a model of homogeneous incompressible two-phase flows. We apply the well-posedness and regularity results to establish the existence of optimal controls as well as the first-order necessary optimality conditions for an associated optimal control problem in which a distributed control is applied to the fluid.

We concern the asymptotic behaviour of the dynamical systems induced by nonlinear Lasota equation. We study chaoticity in the sense of Devaney and strong stability of the system. In many articles authors consider the properties of the linear version of the equation. By the construction of the operator in the separable space, we can formulate the relations between the solutions of the linear equation

The goal of this paper is to investigate Gevrey properties of formal solutions of certain generalized linear partial differential equations with variable coefficients. In particular, we extend the notion of moment partial differential equations to include differential operators that are not connected with kernel functions. Using the modified version of Nagumo norms and the properties of the Newton

This paper studies the concept of prolongational controllability for control affine system with piecewise constant controls. The purpose is to show the relationship between the controllability by prolongations and the notion of weak uniform attraction, presenting criteria for controllability and controllability by prolongations. The central result assures that a control affine system is controllable

In the following text we introduce specification property (stroboscopical property) for dynamical systems on uniform space. We focus on two classes of dynamical systems: generalized shifts and dynamical systems with Alexandroff compactification of a discrete space as phase space. We prove that for a discrete finite topological space X with at least two elements, a nonempty set Γ and a self-map φ :

In this paper, we introduce geometric tools to study the families of rational vector fields of a given degree over \(\mathbb {C}\mathbb {P}^{1}\). To a generic vector field of such a parametric family, we associate several geometric objects: a periodgon, a star domain, and a translation surface. These objects generalize objects with the same name introduced in previous works on polynomial vector fields

Using the averaging theory of second order, we study the limit cycles which bifurcate from a zero-Hopf equilibrium point of polynomial vector fields with cubic nonlinearities in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\). We prove that there are at least 3n− 2 limit cycles bifurcating from such zero-Hopf equilibrium points. Moreover, we provide an example in dimension 6 showing that this number of limit cycles is reached

This paper deals with the controllability of the second-grade fluids, a class of non-Newtonian of differential type, on a two-dimensional torus. Using the method of Agrachev and Sarychev (J. Math Fluid Mech., 7(1):108–52 (2005)), Agrachev and Sarychev (Commun Math Phys., 265(3):673–97 (2006)), and of Shirikyan (Commun Math Phys., 266(1):123–51 (2006)), we prove that the system of second-grade fluids

In this paper, we introduce the notions of topological stability, shadowing, and weak shadowing properties for actions of some finitely generated groups on non-compact metric spaces which are dynamical properties and equivalent to the classical definitions in case of compact metric spaces. Also, we extend Walter’s stability theorem to group actions on locally compact metric spaces. We show that action

We perform a global dynamical analysis of a modified Nosé-Hoover oscillator, obtained as the perturbation of an integrable differential system. Using this new approach for studying such an oscillator, in the integrable cases, we give a complete description of the solutions in the phase space, including the dynamics at infinity via the Poincaré compactification. Then using the averaging theory, we prove

In this article, we give the existence of a smooth stable manifold which is invariant under the semiflows of the delay differential equation \( x^{\prime }= Ax(t) + Lx_t + f(t,x_t, \lambda ) \), with the assumption that the corresponding linear differential equation admits a nonuniform exponential dichotomy and the perturbation f(t, xt, λ) is small and smooth enough. We also show that the obtained

We consider the existence of affine-periodic solutions to the nonlinear ordinary differential equation: $\label {ae} x^{\prime }=f(t,x) $(0.1) in ℝn, where f is continuous and ensures the existence and uniqueness of solutions with respect to initial conditions, and there exist T > 0 and Q ∈ GL(n) such that: $\label {me} f(t+T,x)=Qf(t,Q^{-1}x) \quad \forall (t,x)\in \mathbb R\times \mathbb R^{n}. $(0

A quenching phenomenon of a degenerate parabolic equation with nonlinear source and singular boundary condition in one-dimensional space is investigated. We establish the results that quenching will occur in a finite time on the boundary x = 0 or x = 1, respectively. And the blowing up of ut at the quenching point and quenching rate estimates are discussed.

We address the output feedback stabilization for a Euler–Bernoulli beam equation with boundary moment control and disturbance. The stabilization of this system has been studied in Guo et al. (J Dyn Control Syst. 2014;20:539–58), where the controller is based on full state feedback. In order to derive the output feedback controller, we design a new disturbance estimator to estimate the total disturbance

This paper is concerned with the blow-up property of solutions to an initial boundary value problem for a fourth-order parabolic equation with a general nonlinearity. It is shown, under certain conditions on the initial data, that the solutions to this problem blow up in finite time, using differential inequalities. Moreover, upper and lower bounds for the blow-up time are derived when blow-up occurs

In this paper, we study an optimal control problem for nonlocal Cahn-Hilliard-Brinkman system, which models phase separation of binary fluids in porous media. The system evolves with regular potential in a two-dimensional bounded domain. We extend the existence of weak solution results for the system to prove the existence of strong solution under extra assumptions on the forcing term and initial datum

The well-known Poincaré-Bendixson theorem tells us that the structure of the omega-limit sets of planar autonomous differential equations can be described by fixed points, limit cycles, or finite number of fixed points together with homoclinic and heteroclinic orbits connecting them. However, this is very different for planar nonautonomous differential equations. In this paper, we study the omega-limit

In this paper, practical stochastic uniform input-to-state stability (PSUISS) for perturbed and perturbed triangular systems depending on parameter is investigated. We present sufficient conditions for which each of this notion is preserved under triangular interconnection. Finally, an example with simulation is provided to demonstrate the applicability of our results.

We describe a method to analyze and decompose the dynamics of a bilinear control system subject to symmetries. The method is based on the concept of generalized Young symmetrizers of representation theory. It naturally applies to the situation where the system evolves on a tensor product space and there exists a finite group of symmetries for the dynamics which interchanges the various factors. This

This paper is concerned with the front-like entire solutions for a Lotka-Volterra weak competition system with nonlocal dispersal. Here, an entire solution means a classical solution defined for all space and time variables. This system has traveling wavefronts and enjoys the comparison principle. Based on these traveling wavefronts, we construct some super- and sub-solutions. Then, by using the comparison

We prove that every expansive continuous action with the weak specification property of an amenable group G on a compact Hausdorff space X has the Myhill property, i.e., every pre-injective continuous self-mapping of X commuting with the action of G on X is surjective. This extends a result previously obtained by Hanfeng Li in the case when X is metrizable.

In this paper, we consider a heat equation with mixed boundary conditions in a two-dimensional domain with a reentrant corner. This allows the solution to exhibit singularities near the corner as well as at the points where the mixed boundary conditions meet. The aim of this work is to establish a Carleman inequality by constructing a convenient weight function. As a consequence, we prove some control

In this paper, we study the approximate controllability of a class of semilinear systems governed by coupled degenerate parabolic equations. The equations may be weakly degenerate and strongly degenerate on a portion of the lateral boundary. We prove that the control systems are approximately controllable by using the Kakutani fixed point theorem and the controls can be taken to be of quasi bang-bang

We consider finitely generated free semigroup actions on (X, d) and generalize Boshernitzan’s quantitative recurrence theorem to general free semigroup actions. Let G be a finitely generated free semigroup endowed with a Bernoulli probability measure \(\mathbb P_{\underline {a}}\) and \(\mathbb S\) be the corresponding continuous semigroup continuous semigroup action. Assume that, for some α > 0, the

Sufficient optimality conditions for optimal control problems involving isoperimetric and mixed inequality and equality constraints are derived. The main novelty of our approach is the fact that, for such problems, discontinuous and singular solutions can be detected. In other words, our result can deal with solutions for which the proposed optimal control is not continuous, but only essentially bounded

We deal with piecewise-smooth differential systems \(\dot {z}=X(z), z=(x,y)\in \mathbb {R}\times \mathbb {R}^{n-1},\) with switching occurring in a codimension one smooth surface Σ. A regularization of X is a 1-parameter family of smooth vector fields Xδ,δ > 0, satisfying that Xδ converges pointwise to X in \(\mathbb {R}^{n}\setminus {\Sigma }\), when \(\delta \rightarrow 0\). The regularized system

The paper deals with a three-parameter family of special double confluent Heun equations that was introduced and studied by V. M. Buchstaber and S. I. Tertychnyi as an equivalent presentation of a model of overdamped Josephson junction in superconductivity. The parameters are \(l,\lambda ,\mu \in \mathbb {R}\). Buchstaber and Tertychnyi described those parameter values, for which the corresponding

This paper is an extension of known results of Pesin’s entropy formula and SRB measures for random compositions of infinite-dimensional mappings to the continuous-time setting of stochastic flows. Consider a stochastic flow ϕ on a separable infinite dimensional Hilbert space preserving a probability measure μ, which is supported on a random compact set K. We show that if ϕ is C2 (on K) and satisfies

We study pseudo-Abelian integrals associated with polynomial perturbations of Darboux integrable system with a triple point. Under some assumptions, we prove the local boundedness of the number of their zeros. Assuming that this is the only non-genericity, we prove that the number of zeros of the corresponding pseudo-Abelian integrals is bounded uniformly for nearby Darboux integrable foliations.

In this paper, we study the pointwise controllability of the one-dimensional degenerate heat equation. Necessary and sufficient conditions for approximate and null controllability are proved. Our approach is mainly based on the moment method developed by Fattorini and Russell.

The present paper studies the duality theory for the Mayer problem with second-order evolution differential inclusions with delay and state constraints. Although all the proofs in the paper relating to dual problems are carried out in the case of delay, these results are new for problems without delay, too. To this end, first we use an auxiliary problem with second-order discrete- and discrete-approximate

In this paper which is closely related to the previous paper [3] we specify general theory developed there. We study the structure of Jacobi fields in the case of an analytic system and piecewise analytic control. Moreover, we consider only 1-dimensional control variations. Jacobi fields are piecewise analytic in this case but may have jump discontinuities. We derive ODEs that these fields satisfy

This paper addresses the asymptotic approximations of the stable and unstable manifolds for the saddle fixed point and the 2-periodic solutions of the difference equation xn+ 1 = α + βxn− 1 + xn− 1/xn, where α > 0, \(0\leqslant \beta <1\) and the initial conditions x− 1 and x0 are positive numbers. These manifolds determine completely global dynamics of this equation. The theoretical results are supported

In this paper, we establish sufficient conditions on the existence of mild solutions for semilinear impulsive differential inclusions by using Glicksberg-Ky Fan fixed point theorem with weak topology technique. We do not require the compactness of the evolution operator generated by the linear part and of the multivalued nonlinear term. An example is also presented.

In the present paper we consider preserving orientation Morse-Smale diffeomorphisms on surfaces. Using the methods of factorization and linearizing neighbourhoods we prove that such diffeomorphisms have a finite number of orientable heteroclinic orbits.

Boundary control problems for a stationary model of magnetohydrodynamics of a viscous incompressible fluid are considered in a domain with non-ideal boundary. The role of the control is played by a tangential component of a magnetic field specified on an entire boundary. In the case when the control function is square integrable, the solvability of the control problem is proved. Under assumption that

In this article, we shall study the approximate controllability of certain non-autonomous second-order nonlinear differential problems with finite delay in the infinite dimensional space. Sufficient conditions are proposed and proved for the controllability of such systems. Further, we briefly discuss the approximate controllability of impulsive as well as integro-differential problem. We establish

We present enumerative results for holomorphic foliations by curves on \(\mathbb {P}^{n}\), n ≥ 3, with singularities of positive dimension. Some of the results presented improve previous ones due to Corrêa et al. (Annales de l’institut Fourier, 64(4):1781–1805, 2014) and Costa (Ann Fac Sci Toulouse, Math (6), 15(2):297–321, 2006). We also present an enumerative result bounding the number of isolated

We treat the periodic trajectory tracking problem: given a periodic trajectory of a control-affine, left-invariant driftless system in a compact and connected Lie group G and an initial condition in G, find another trajectory of the system satisfying the initial condition given and that asymptotically tracks the periodic trajectory. We solve this problem locally (for initial conditions in a neighborhood

We give a complete algebraic characterization of the integrable weak saddles for planar trigonometric Liénard systems. The main tools used in our proof are the classification of the weak saddles on planar analytic Liénard systems and the characterization of some subfields of the quotient field of the ring of trigonometric polynomials.

The linear time-optimal problem for some classes of linear systems with a multidimensional control is considered. The general position condition, which guarantees the uniqueness of the optimal control, is not assumed to be satisfied. We introduce a vector moment min-problem, which is a further development of the moment min-problem proposed by V.I. Korobov and G.M. Sklyar in 1987 for solving linear

In this paper, finite time blow-up property of solutions to a p-Kirchhoff-type parabolic equation with general nonlinearity is considered. Some sufficient conditions are given for the weak solutions to blow up in finite time. An upper bound for the blow-up time is also derived. The results partially generalize some recent ones reported by Han and Li (Comput Math Appl. 2018;75:3283–3297).

In this paper, we study a class of fast diffusion p-Laplace equation with singular potential in a bounded smooth domain with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. By using energy estimates, Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev inequality, and some ordinary differential inequalities, we get the solution of the equation exists globally. Moreover, the conditions of extinction and non-extinction are studied. The

We study local control of a mechanism with the growth vector (4,7). We study controllability and extremal trajectories of the nilpotent approximation as an example of the control theory on a Lie group. We provide solutions to the system and show examples of local extremal trajectories.

Phase-integral method is applied to study semi-classical limit for the spectral problem related to dynamical system describing quantum mechanical evolution with space-time reflection symmetry. The main goal of the paper is to investigate the relationship between analytic properties of the corresponding potential and the structure of limiting spectral graph. Quantization conditions of Bohr-Sommerfeld

In this paper, we consider the output feedback exponential stabilization problem of ODE-Schrödinger cascade systems with the external disturbance. We propose a new extended state observer (ESO) that estimates both state and disturbance by the three output signals, then design a stabilizing control law by utilizing the backstepping technique. The resulting closed-loop system is shown to be exponentially

In this paper, we deal with the multiplicity results for Kirchhoff equations with Hardy-Littlewood-Sobolev critical nonlinearity in \(\mathbb {R}^{N}\). By using the second concentration-compactness principle and concentration-compactness principle at infinity to prove that the (PS)c condition holds locally and together with the new version of symmetric mountain pass theorem of Kajikiya, we prove that

We analyze controlled mass transportation plans with free end-time that minimize the transport cost induced by the generating function of a Lagrangian within a bounded domain, in addition to costs incurred as export and import tariffs at entry and exit points on the boundary. We exhibit a dual variational principle à la Kantorovich that takes into consideration the additional tariffs. We then show

This paper investigates global strong stabilization of time-delayed bilinear systems on a real Hilbert state space. Sufficient conditions for strong global stabilization are formulated in terms of observability like assumptions. An explicit decay rate of the stabilized state is provided. Illustrative examples are presented.

This paper addresses near viability of a set-valued map graph \(\mathcal {G}\) with respect to a quasi-autonomous fully nonlinear differential inclusion of the form y′(t) ∈ Ay(t) + F(t,y(t)). We introduce a new notion of A-quasi-tangency when A is a nonlinear m-dissipative set-valued operator. We give necessary and sufficient conditions for \(\mathcal {G}\) to be near viable with respect to the previous

In this paper, we present a new notion of stability for nonlinear systems of differential equations called practical h-stability. Necessary and sufficient conditions for practical h-stability are given using the Lyapunov theory. Our original results generalize well-known fundamental results: practical exponential stability, practical asymptotic stability, and practical stability for nonlinear time-varying
