Not only their solvability and the study of qualitative properties have been the aim of many research papers, but, also, their role in different types of boundary value problems have allowed the study of many real-world phenomena. This Special Issue provides examples of some new methods and techniques on research topics, such as sufficient conditions to obtain heteroclinic solutions for phi-Laplacian equations, invariants, local and global solutions, stability theory (asymptotic, exponential, Lipsichtz, etc.), numerical methods for partial differential equations, fuzzy integro-differential equations, divided-difference equations, limit-periodic solutions for difference equations, Backlund¨ transformations for nonlinear equations and systems, and coupled systems with functional boundary conditions that include the periodic case. These topics, which encompass several areas of mathematical research, give the reader a comprehensive and quick overview of the trends and recent research results, which may be useful in their research or in future research topics.

Rua Romão Ramalho, 59, 7000-671 Évora, Portugal; [email protected] Received: 28 December 2018; Accepted: 11 February 2019; Published: 15 February 2019 Abstract: In this paper, we consider the second order discontinuous differential equation in the − + real line, (a (t, u) φ (u )) = f (t, u, u ) , a.e.t ∈ R, u(−∞)=ν , u(+∞)=ν , with φ an increasing homeomorphism such that φ(0)=0 and φ(R)=R, a ∈ C(R2, R) with a(t, x) > 0 for (t, x) ∈ R2, − + − + f : R3 → R a L1-Carathéodory function and ν , ν ∈ R such that ν < ν . The existence and localization of heteroclinic connections is obtained assuming a Nagumo-type condition on the real line and without asymptotic conditions on the nonlinearities φ and f . To the best of our knowledge, this result is even new when φ(y)=y, that is for equation(a (t, u(t)) u (t)) = f (t, u(t), u (t)) , a.e.t ∈ R. Moreover, these results can be applied to classical and singular φ-Laplacian equations and to the mean curvature operator.

Introduction In this paper, we study the second order non-autonomous half-linear equation on the whole real line, a (t, u) φ u = f t, u, u , a.e.t ∈ R, (1) with φ an increasing homeomorphism, φ(0)=0 and φ(R)=R, a ∈ C(R2, R) such that a(t, x) > 0 for (t, x) ∈ R2, and f : R3 → R a L1-Carathéodory function, together with the asymptotic conditions: − + u(−∞)=ν , u(+∞)=ν , (2) + − − + with ν , ν ∈ R such that ν < ν . Moreover, an application to singular φ-Laplacian equations will be shown. This problem (1) and (2) was studied in [1,2] . This last paper contained several results and criteria. For example, Theorem 2.1 in [2] guarantees the existence of heteroclinic solutions under, in short, the following main assumptions: • φ grows at most linearly at infinity; − + • f (t, ν ,0) ≤ 0 ≤ f (t, ν ,0) for a.e.t ∈ R; Axioms 2019, 8, 22; doi:10.3390/axioms80100221 www.mdpi.com/journal/axioms Axioms 2019, 8,22 + + • there exist constants L, H > 0, a continuous function θ : R → R and a function λ ∈ Lp([−L, L]), with 1 ≤ p ≤ ∞, such that: − + | f (t, x, y)| ≤ λ(t) θ (a(t, x) |y|) , for a.e. |t|≤L, every x ∈ ν , ν , +∞ − 1 s1 q |y| > H, ds =+∞; θ(s) • > η ∈ 1(R) Λ ∈ 1 ([ +∞)) [ ] for every C 0, there exist functions C L , C Lloc 0, , null in 0, L and positive [ +∞) ( ) ∈ 1(R) in L, , and NC t L such that: f (t, x, y) ≤−Λ (t)φ (|y|) , C (− ) ≥ Λ ( )φ (| |) ≥ ∈ ν− ν+ f t, x, y C t y , for a.e. t L, every x , , |y|≤N (t), C | ( )| ≤ η ( ) ∈ ν− ν+ | |≤ ( ) ∈ R f t, x, y C t if x , , y NC t , for a.e.t .

The system of orthogonal functions introduced by Rade- macher [6](2) has been the subject of a great deal of study. This system is not a complete one. Its completion was effected by Walsh [7], who studied some of its Fourier properties, such as convergence, summability, and so on. Others, notably Kaczmarz [3], Steinhaus [4], Paley [S], have studied various aspects of the Walsh system. Walsh has pointed out the great similarity be- tween this system and the trigonometric system. It is convenient, in defining the functions of the Walsh system, to follow Paley's modification. The Rademacher functions are defined by *»(*) = 1 (0 g x < 1/2), *»{«) = - 1 (1/2 á * < 1), <¡>o(%+ 1) = *o(«), *»(*) = 0o(2"x) (w = 1, 2, • • ■ ).

  • Mathematical Analysis, Second Edition
    PREFACE A glance at the table of contents will reveal that this textbooktreats topics in analysis at the "Advanced Calculus" level. The aim has beento provide a develop- ment of the subject which is honest, rigorous, up to date, and, at thesame time, not too pedantic.The book provides a transition from elementary calculusto advanced courses in real and complex function theory, and it introducesthe reader to some of the abstract thinking that pervades modern analysis. The second edition differs from the first inmany respects. Point set topology is developed in the setting of general metricspaces as well as in Euclidean n-space, and two new chapters have been addedon Lebesgue integration. The material on line integrals, vector analysis, and surface integrals has beendeleted. The order of some chapters has been rearranged, many sections have been completely rewritten, and several new exercises have been added. The development of Lebesgue integration follows the Riesz-Nagyapproach which focuses directly on functions and their integrals and doesnot depend on measure theory.The treatment here is simplified, spread out, and somewhat rearranged for presentation at the undergraduate level. The first edition has been used in mathematicscourses at a variety of levels, from first-year undergraduate to first-year graduate, bothas a text and as supple- mentary reference.The second edition preserves this flexibility.For example, Chapters 1 through 5, 12, and 13 providea course in differential calculus of func- tions of one or more variables. Chapters 6 through 11, 14, and15 provide a course in integration theory. Many other combinationsare possible; individual instructors can choose topics to suit their needs by consulting the diagram on the nextpage, which displays the logical interdependence of the chapters.

  • Chapter 1 Fourier Series
    Chapter 1 Fourier Series Jean Baptiste Joseph Fourier (1768-1830) was a French mathematician, physi- cist and engineer, and the founder of Fourier analysis. In 1822 he made the claim, seemingly preposterous at the time, that any function of t, continuous or discontinuous, could be represented as a linear combination of functions sin nt. This was a dramatic distinction from Taylor series. While not strictly true in fact, this claim was true in spirit and it led to the modern theory of Fourier analysis with wide applications to science and engineering. 1.1 Definitions, Real and complex Fourier se- ries p int We have observed that the functions en(t) = e = 2π, n = 0; ±1; ±2; ··· form an ON set in the Hilbert space L2[0; 2π] of square-integrable functions on the interval [0; 2π]. In fact we shall show that these functions form an ON basis. Here the inner product is Z 2π (u; v) = u(t)v(t) dt; u; v 2 L2[0; 2π]: 0 We will study this ON set and the completeness and convergence of expan- sions in the basis, both pointwise and in the norm. Before we get started, it is convenient to assume that L2[0; 2π] consists of square-integrable functions on the unit circle, rather than on an interval of the real line. Thus we will replace every function f(t) on the interval [0; 2π] by a function f ∗(t) such that f ∗(0) = f ∗(2π) and f ∗(t) = f(t) for 0 ≤ t < 2π. Then we will extend 1 f ∗ to all −∞ < t < 1 by requiring periodicity: f ∗(t + 2π) = f ∗(t).

  • Balance Principles
    CHAPTER 2 BALANCE PRINCIPLES This chapter presents the basic dynamical equations for continuum mechanics and some key inequalities from thermodynamics. The latter may be used to give functional form to the second Piola-Kirchhoff stress tensor-a fundamental ingredient in the dynamical equations. The study of this functional form is the main goal of Chapter 3 on constitutive theory. We shall set up the basic equations (or inequalities) as integral balance conditions. Therefore, the first section of this chapter is devoted to their general study. For the dynamical equations, the basic postulate is the existence of a stress tensor and a momentum balance principle. In particle mechanics these are analogous to the postulate of Hamilton's equations, or Newton's second law. We shall present a detailed study of these ideas in both the material and spatial pictures by using the Piola transformation that was developed in Section 1.7. The integral form of momentum balance is subject to an important criticism: it is not form invariant under general coordinate transformations, although the dynamical equations themselves are. We shall examine this and a number of related covariance questions. Covariance ideas are also useful in the discussion of constitutive theory, as we shall see in Chapter 3. 2.1 THE MASTER BALANCE LAW Let CB and S be Riemannian manifolds with metric tensors G andg, respectively. Suppose x = ¢(X, t) is a Cl regular motion of CB in S, VeX, t) is the material velocity, and vet, x) is the spatial velocity. For the moment we sha1l assume that CB and S are the same dimension; for example, CB c S is open and ¢ is a 1?n CH.

  • Localizing the Eigenvalues of Matrix-Valued Functions: Analysis and Applications
    LOCALIZING THE EIGENVALUES OF MATRIX-VALUED FUNCTIONS: ANALYSIS AND APPLICATIONS A Dissertation Presented to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Cornell University in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Amanda Hood January 2017 c 2017 Amanda Hood ALL RIGHTS RESERVED LOCALIZING THE EIGENVALUES OF MATRIX-VALUED FUNCTIONS: ANALYSIS AND APPLICATIONS Amanda Hood, Ph.D. Cornell University 2017 The standard eigenvalue problem of finding the zeros of det(zI−A) is ubiquitous, and comes from studying solutions to x0 = Ax as well as myriad other sources. Similarly, if x0(t) = Ax(t) + Bx(t − 1) is some delay-differential equation (arising, say, from modeling the spread of a disease, or from population growth models), then stability is determined by computing the roots of det(zI − A − Be−z). Models of physical processes where energy slowly leaks away to infinity lead to similar problems. These physical systems are typically modeled in terms of differential equations which are then discretized using e.g. collocation or finite elements. For example, such a discretization gives a correspondence between the quantum scattering resonances associated to a quantum corral and the zeros of det(A−zB+ C(z)), where A; B; C(z) 2 Cn×n and the highly nonlinear entries of C(z) involve square roots and ratios of Bessel functions. In each case, we are led to so-called nonlinear eigenvalue problems of the form T(λ)v = 0, v , 0, where T : Ω ⊂ C ! Cn×n is a matrix-valued function, and λ is called an eigenvalue of T.
