AbstractWe formulate the initial value problem for causal variational principles in the continuous setting on a compact metric space. The existence and uniqueness of solutions is analyzed. The results are illustrated by simple examples.

We discuss the initial value problem for the nonlinear fractional differential equationL(D)u=f(t,u),  t∈(0,1],  u(0)=0, whereL(D)=Dsn-an-1Dsn-1-⋯-a1Ds1,0<s1<s2<⋯<sn<1, andaj<0,j=1,2,…,n-1,Dsjis the standard Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative andf:[0,1]×ℝ→ℝis a given continuous function. We extend the basic theory of differential equation, the method of upper and lower solutions, and monotone iterative technique to the initial value problem. Some existence and uniqueness results are established.

In this paper, we research CFR fractional differential equations with the derivative of order 3<α<4. We prove existence and uniqueness theorems for CFR-type initial value problem. By Green’s function and its corresponding maximum value, we obtain the Lyapunov-type inequality of corresponding equations. As for application, we study the eigenvalue problem in the sense of CFR.

A review of the development of the theory of existence and uniqueness of solutions to initial-value problems for mostly reduced versions of the nonlinear Maxwell-Boltzmann equation with a cut-off of intermolecular interaction, precedes the formulation and discussion of a somewhat generalized initial-value problem for the full nonlinear Maxwell-Boltzmann equation, with or without a cut-off. This is followed by a derivation of a new existence-uniqueness result for a particular Cauchy problem for the full nonlinear Maxwell-Boltzmann equation with a cut-off, under the assumption that the monatomic Boltzmann gas in the unbounded physical space X is acted upon by a member of a broad class of external conservative forces with sufficiently well-behaved potentials, defined on X and bounded from below. The result represents a significant improvement of an earlier theorem by this author which was until now the strongest obtained for Cauchy problems for the full Maxwell-Boltzmann equation. The improvement is basically due to the introduction of equivalent norms in a Banach space, the definition of which is connected with an exponential function of the total energy of a free-streaming molecule.

Sufficient conditions are given so that the initial value problem for the Shabat equation has a unique analytic solution, which, together with its first derivative, converges absolutely forz∈ℂ:|z|<T,T>0. Moreover, a bound of this solution is given. The sufficient conditions involve only the initial condition, the parameters of the equation, andT. Furthermore, from these conditions, one can obtain an upper bound forT. Our results are in consistence with some recently found results.
