Mixing and observation for Markov operator cocycles*

We consider generalized definitions of mixing and exactness for random dynamical systems in terms of Markov operator cocycles. We first give six fundamental definitions of mixing for Markov operator cocycles in view of observations of the randomness in environments, and reduce them into two different groups. Secondly, we give the definition of exactness for Markov operator cocycles and show that Lin’s criterion for exactness can be naturally extended to the case of Markov operator cocycles. Finally, in the class of asymptotically periodic Markov operator cocycles, we show the Lasota–Mackey type equivalence between mixing, exactness and asymptotic stability.

Ground state solution for the Schrödinger equation with Hardy potential and critical Sobolev exponent

In this paper, we consider the following Schrödinger equation (0.1) − Δ u − μ u | x | 2 + V ( x ) u = K ( x ) | u | 2 ∗ − 2 u + f ( x , u ) , x ∈ R N , u ∈ H 1 ( R N ) , where N ⩾ 4, 0 ⩽ μ < μ ‾, μ ‾ = ( N − 2 ) 2 4 , V is periodic in x, K and f are asymptotically periodic in x, we take advantage of the generalized Nehari manifold approach developed by Szulkin and Weth to look for the ground state solution of (0.1).

On the First-Passage Time Problem for a Feller-Type Diffusion Process

We consider the first-passage time problem for the Feller-type diffusion process, having infinitesimal drift B1(x,t)=α(t)x+β(t) and infinitesimal variance B2(x,t)=2r(t)x, defined in the space state [0,+∞), with α(t)∈R, β(t)>0, r(t)>0 continuous functions. For the time-homogeneous case, some relations between the first-passage time densities of the Feller process and of the Wiener and the Ornstein–Uhlenbeck processes are discussed. The asymptotic behavior of the first-passage time density through a time-dependent boundary is analyzed for an asymptotically constant boundary and for an asymptotically periodic boundary. Furthermore, when β(t)=ξr(t), with ξ>0, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the first-passage density and we obtain some closed-form results for special time-varying boundaries.

Nonlinear perturbations of a periodic fractional Laplacian with supercritical growth

Our main goal is to explore the existence of positive solutions for a class of nonlinear fractional Schrödinger equation involving supercritical growth given by $$ (- \Delta)^{\alpha} u + V(x)u=p(u),\quad x\in \mathbb{R^N},\ N \geq 1. $$ We analyze two types of problems, with $V$ being periodic and asymptotically periodic; for this we use a variational method, a truncation argument and a concentration compactness principle.

Existence of positive S-asymptotically periodic solutions of the fractional evolution equations in ordered Banach spaces

In this paper, we discuss the asymptotically periodic problem for the abstract fractional evolution equation under order conditions and growth conditions. Without assuming the existence of upper and lower solutions, some new results on the existence of the positive S-asymptotically ω-periodic mild solutions are obtained by using monotone iterative method and fixed point theorem. It is worth noting that Lipschitz condition is no longer needed, which makes our results more widely applicable.

Asymptotically periodic behavior of solutions to fractional non-instantaneous impulsive semilinear differential inclusions with sectorial operators

In this paper, we prove two results concerning the existence of S-asymptotically ω-periodic solutions for non-instantaneous impulsive semilinear differential inclusions of order $1<\alpha <2$ 1 < α < 2 and generated by sectorial operators. In the first result, we apply a fixed point theorem for contraction multivalued functions. In the second result, we use a compactness criterion in the space of bounded piecewise continuous functions defined on the unbounded interval $J=[0,\infty )$ J = [ 0 , ∞ ) . We adopt the fractional derivative in the sense of the Caputo derivative. We provide three examples illustrating how the results can be applied.

Asymptotic Properties of Solutions to Discrete Volterra Monotone Type Equations

We investigate the higher order nonlinear discrete Volterra equations. We study solutions with prescribed asymptotic behavior. For example, we establish sufficient conditions for the existence of asymptotically polynomial, asymptotically periodic or asymptotically symmetric solutions. On the other hand, we are dealing with the problem of approximation of solutions. Among others, we present conditions under which any bounded solution is asymptotically periodic. Using our techniques, based on the iterated remainder operator, we can control the degree of approximation. In this paper we choose a positive non-increasing sequence u and use o(un) as a measure of approximation.
