Existence Of Positive Solutions

We consider a class of system of nonlinear difference equations arising from mathematical models describing a discrete epidemic model. Sufficient conditions are established that guarantee the existence of positive solutions, the existence of a unique nonnegative equilibrium, and the convergence of the positive solutions to the nonnegative equilibrium of the system of difference equations. The obtained results are new and they complement previously known results.

Abstract In this paper we discuss the existence of a solution between wellordered subsolution and supersolution of the Kirchhoff equation. Using the sub-supersolution method together with a Rabinowitz-type global bifurcation theory, we establish the existence of positive solutions for Kirchhoff-type problems when the nonlinearity is singular or sign-changing. Moreover, we obtain some necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions for the problem when N = 1.

Existence Of Positive Solutions

A Lotka-Volterra competition model with cross-diffusions under homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition is considered, where cross-diffusions are included in such a way that the two species run away from each other because of the competition between them. Using the method of upper and lower solutions, sufficient conditions for the existence of positive solutions are provided when the cross-diffusions are sufficiently small. Furthermore, the investigation of nonexistence of positive solutions is also presented.

Existence Of Positive Solutions

Consider the neutral difference equation \[\Delta(x_n- cx_{n-m})+p_nx_{n-k}=0, n\ge N\qquad (*) \] where $c$ and $p_n$ are real numbers, $k$ and $N$ are nonnegative integers, and $m$ is positive integer. We show that if \[\sum_{n=N}^\infty |p_n|<\infty \qquad (**) \] then Eq.(*) has a positive solution when $c \neq 1$. However, an interesting example is also given which shows that (**) does not imply that (*) has a positive solution when $c =1$.
