    The aim of this article is to prove a fixed point theorem in 2-Banach spaces and show its applications to the Ulam stability of functional equations. The obtained stability results concern both some single variable equations and the most important functional equation in several variables, namely, the Cauchy equation. Moreover, a few corollaries corresponding to some known hyperstability outcomes are presented.

    In this article, we study the multiplicity and concentration behavior of positive solutions for the p-Laplacian equation of Schrödinger-Kirchhoff type
    -εpM(εp-NRN|▽u|p)△pu + V (x)|u|p-2u=f(u)
    in RN, where △p is the p-Laplacian operator, 1< p < N, M:R+→ R+ and V:RN → R+ are continuous functions, ε is a positive parameter, and f is a continuous function with subcritical growth. We assume that V satisfies the local condition introduced by M. del Pino and P. Felmer. By the variational methods, penalization techniques, and LyusternikSchnirelmann theory, we prove the existence, multiplicity, and concentration of solutions for the above equation.

    CONTINUOUS FINITE ELEMENT METHODS FOR REISSNER-MINDLIN PLATE PROBLEM
    Huoyuan DUAN, Junhua MA
    Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2018, 38 (2):  450-470.  DOI: 10.1016/S0252-9602(18)30760-4
    Abstract ( 100 )   RICH HTML PDF   Save

    On triangle or quadrilateral meshes, two finite element methods are proposed for solving the Reissner-Mindlin plate problem either by augmenting the Galerkin formulation or modifying the plate-thickness. In these methods, the transverse displacement is approximated by conforming (bi)linear macroelements or (bi)quadratic elements, and the rotation by conforming (bi)linear elements. The shear stress can be locally computed from transverse displacement and rotation. Uniform in plate thickness, optimal error bounds are obtained for the transverse displacement, rotation, and shear stress in their natural norms. Numerical results are presented to illustrate the theoretical results.

    A NEW ADAPTIVE TRUST REGION ALGORITHM FOR OPTIMIZATION PROBLEMS
    Zhou SHENG, Gonglin YUAN, Zengru CUI
    Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2018, 38 (2):  479-496.  DOI: 10.1016/S0252-9602(18)30762-8

    It is well known that trust region methods are very effective for optimization problems. In this article, a new adaptive trust region method is presented for solving unconstrained optimization problems. The proposed method combines a modified secant equation with the BFGS updated formula and an adaptive trust region radius, where the new trust region radius makes use of not only the function information but also the gradient information. Under suitable conditions, global convergence is proved, and we demonstrate the local superlinear convergence of the proposed method. The numerical results indicate that the proposed method is very efficient.

    CONVERGENCE ANALYSIS OF MIXED VOLUME ELEMENT-CHARACTERISTIC MIXED VOLUME ELEMENT FOR THREE-DIMENSIONAL CHEMICAL OIL-RECOVERY SEEPAGE COUPLED PROBLEM
    Yirang YUAN, Aijie CHENG, Dangping YANG, Changfeng LI, Qing YANG
    Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2018, 38 (2):  519-545.  DOI: 10.1016/S0252-9602(18)30764-1

    The physical model is described by a seepage coupled system for simulating numerically three-dimensional chemical oil recovery, whose mathematical description includes three equations to interpret main concepts. The pressure equation is a nonlinear parabolic equation, the concentration is defined by a convection-diffusion equation and the saturations of different components are stated by nonlinear convection-diffusion equations. The transport pressure appears in the concentration equation and saturation equations in the form of Darcy velocity, and controls their processes. The flow equation is solved by the conservative mixed volume element and the accuracy is improved one order for approximating Darcy velocity. The method of characteristic mixed volume element is applied to solve the concentration, where the diffusion is discretized by a mixed volume element method and the convection is treated by the method of characteristics. The characteristics can confirm strong computational stability at sharp fronts and it can avoid numerical dispersion and nonphysical oscillation. The scheme can adopt a large step while its numerical results have small time-truncation error and high order of accuracy. The mixed volume element method has the law of conservation on every element for the diffusion and it can obtain numerical solutions of the concentration and adjoint vectors. It is most important in numerical simulation to ensure the physical conservative nature. The saturation different components are obtained by the method of characteristic fractional step difference. The computational work is shortened greatly by decomposing a three-dimensional problem into three successive one-dimensional problems and it is completed easily by using the algorithm of speedup. Using the theory and technique of a priori estimates of differential equations, we derive an optimal second order estimates in l2 norm. Numerical examples are given to show the effectiveness and practicability and the method is testified as a powerful tool to solve the important problems.

Finite time stability analysis for such neural networks is addressed based on the linear matrix inequality approach. Numerical examples are given to illustrate the usefulness of our proposed method. The results obtained are compared with the results in the literature to show the conservativeness.

    EQUI-ATTRACTION AND BACKWARD COMPACTNESS OF PULLBACK ATTRACTORS FOR POINT-DISSIPATIVE GINZBURG-LANDAU EQUATIONS
    Yangrong LI, Lianbing SHE, Jinyan YIN
    Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2018, 38 (2):  591-609.  DOI: 10.1016/S0252-9602(18)30768-9

    A new concept of an equi-attractor is introduced, and defined by the minimal compact set that attracts bounded sets uniformly in the past, for a non-autonomous dynamical system. It is shown that the compact equi-attraction implies the backward compactness of a pullback attractor. Also, an eventually equi-continuous and strongly bounded process has an equi-attractor if and only if it is strongly point dissipative and strongly asymptotically compact. Those results primely strengthen the known existence result of a backward bounded pullback attractor in the literature. Finally, the theoretical criteria are applied to prove the existence of both equi-attractor and backward compact attractor for a Ginzburg-Landau equation with some varying coefficients and a backward tempered external force.

    Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2018, 38 (2):  610-626.  DOI: 10.1016/S0252-9602(18)30769-0

    In this article, we first introduce an iterative method based on the hybrid viscosity approximation method and the hybrid steepest-descent method for finding a fixed point of a Lipschitz pseudocontractive mapping (assuming existence) and prove that our proposed scheme has strong convergence under some mild conditions imposed on algorithm parameters in real Hilbert spaces. Next, we introduce a new iterative method for a solution of a nonlinear integral equation of Hammerstein type and obtain strong convergence in real Hilbert spaces. Our results presented in this article generalize and extend the corresponding results on Lipschitz pseudocontractive mapping and nonlinear integral equation of Hammerstein type reported by some authors recently. We compare our iterative scheme numerically with other iterative scheme for solving non-linear integral equation of Hammerstein type to verify the efficiency and implementation of our new method.

    THE GLOBAL ATTRACTOR FOR A VISCOUS WEAKLY DISSIPATIVE GENERALIZED TWO-COMPONENT μ-HUNTER-SAXTON SYSTEM
    Lei ZHANG, Bin LIU
    Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2018, 38 (2):  651-672.  DOI: 10.1016/S0252-9602(18)30772-0

    This article is concerned with the existence of global attractor of a weakly dissipative generalized two-component μ-Hunter-Saxton (gμHS2) system with viscous terms. Under the period boundary conditions and with the help of the Galerkin procedure and compactness method, we first investigate the existence of global solution for the viscous weakly dissipative (gμHS2) system. On the basis of some uniformly prior estimates of the solution to the viscous weakly dissipative (gμHS2) system, we show that the semi-group of the solution operator {S(t)}t ≥ 0 has a bounded absorbing set. Moreover, we prove that the dynamical system {S(t)}t ≥ 0 possesses a global attractor in the Sobolev space H2(S)×H2(S).

    Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2018, 38 (2):  673-680.  DOI: 10.1016/S0252-9602(18)30773-2

    In this article, we study the nonexistence of solution with finite Morse index for the following Choquard type equation
    -△u=∫RN (|u(y)|p)/(|x-y|α)dy|u(x)|p-2u(x) in RN,
    where N ≥ 3, 0< α < min{4, N}. Suppose that 2< p < (2N-α)/(N-2), we will show that this problem does not possess nontrivial solution with finite Morse index. While for p=(2N-α)/(N-2), if i(u) < ∞, then we have ∫RNRN (|u(x)|p|u(y)|p)/(|x-y|α) dxdy < ∞ and ∫RN|▽u|2 dx=∫RNRN(|u(x)|p|u(y)|p)/(|x-y|α dxdy.

    STABILITY AND BIFURCATION ANALYSIS OF A DELAYED INNOVATION DIFFUSION MODEL
    Rakesh KUMAR, Anuj Kumar SHARMA, Kulbhushan AGNIHOTRI
    Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2018, 38 (2):  709-732.  DOI: 10.1016/S0252-9602(18)30776-8
    Abstract ( 111 )   RICH HTML PDF   Save

    In this article, a nonlinear mathematical model for innovation diffusion with stage structure which incorporates the evaluation stage (time delay) is proposed. The model is analyzed by considering the effects of external as well as internal influences and other demographic processes such as emigration, intrinsic growth rate, death rate, etc. The asymptotical stability of the various equilibria is investigated. By analyzing the exponential characteristic equation with delay-dependent coefficients obtained through the variational matrix, it is found that Hopf bifurcation occurs when the evaluation period (time delay, τ) passes through a critical value. Applying the normal form theory and the center manifold argument, we derive the explicit formulas determining the properties of the bifurcating periodic solutions. To illustrate our theoretical analysis, some numerical simulations are also included.

    Acta mathematica scientia,Series B. 2018, 38 (2):  733-744.  DOI: 10.1016/S0252-9602(18)30777-X

    In this article, we study constrained minimizers of the following variational problem
    e(ρ):=???20180223??? E(u), ρ > 0,
    where E(u) is the Schrödinger-Poisson-Slater (SPS) energy functional
    E(u):=1/2 ∫R3|▽u(x)|2dx -1/4 ∫R3R3 (u2|(y)u2(x))/(|x-y|)dydx -1/pR3|u(x)|pdx in R3,
    and p ∈ (2, 6). We prove the existence of minimizers for the cases 2< p < 10/3, ρ > 0, and p=10/3, 0< ρ < ρ*, and show that e(ρ)=-∞ for the other cases, where ρ*=||φ||22 and φ(x) is the unique (up to translations) positive radially symmetric solution of -△u + u=u7/3 in R3. Moreover, when e(ρ*)=-∞, the blow-up behavior of minimizers as ρρ* is also analyzed rigorously.
