Letf:[0,1]×R2→Rbe function satisfying Caratheodory's conditions ande(t)∈L1[0,1]. Letη∈(0,1),ξi∈(0,1),ai≥0,i=1,2,…,m−2, with∑i=1m−2ai=1,0<ξ1<ξ2<…<ξm−2<1be given. This paper is concerned with the problem of existence of a solution for the following boundary value problemsx″(t)=f(t,x(t),x′(t))+e(t),0<t<1,x′(0)=0,x(1)=x(η),x″(t)=f(t,x(t),x′(t))+e(t),0<t<1,x′(0)=0,x(1)=∑i=1m−2aix(ξi).Conditions for the existence of a solution for the above boundary value problems are given using Leray Schauder Continuation theorem.

AbstractA new shorter proof of the existence of index pairs for discrete dynamical systems is given. Moreover, the index pairs defined in that proof are stable with respect to small perturbations of the generating map. The existence of stable index pairs was previously known in the case of diffeomorphisms and flows generated by smooth vector fields but it was an open question in the general discrete case.

This paper studies a class of periodicnspecies cooperative Lotka-Volterra systems with continuous time delays and feedback controls. Based on the continuation theorem of the coincidence degree theory developed by Gaines and Mawhin, some new sufficient conditions on the existence of positive periodic solutions are established.

Let f: [0, 1] × ℝ2 → ℝ be a function satisfying the Carathéodory conditions and t (1 − t) e (t) ∈ L1(0, 1). Let ai ∈ ℝ and ξi ∈ (0, 1) for i = 1, …, m − 2 where 0 < ξ1 < ξ2 < … < ξm−2 < 1. In this paper we study the existence of C[0, 1] solutions for the m-point boundary value problem The proof of our main result is based on the Leray-Schauder continuation theorem.

This study employs topological methods to extract unstable fixed points in phase space from both numerical and experimental time series data. Conley index of an isolated invariant subset and the R-B method can determine unstable fixed points contained in strange attractor from numerical time series data. For experimental time series data, the theorem for the relationship between index pairs and Conley index enables one to predict them with acceptable accuracy. As a corollary, some results for Duffing oscillator and piecewise linear system are shown.

AbstractWe study a nonlinear oscillatory system with two degrees of freedom. By using the continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory, some sufficient conditions are obtained to establish the existence of periodic solutions of the system.
