In the previous author’s works, a representation of the solution of the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the biharmonic equation in terms of Green’s function is found, and then it is shown that this representation for a ball can be written in the form of the well-known Almansi formula with explicitly defined harmonic components. In this paper, this idea is extended to the Dirichlet boundary value problem for the polyharmonic equation, but without invoking the Green’s function. It turned out to find an explicit representation of the harmonic components of the m-harmonic function, which is a solution to the Dirichlet boundary value problem, in terms of m solutions to the Dirichlet boundary value problems for the Laplace equation in the unit ball. Then, using this representation, an explicit formula for the harmonic components of the solution to the Neumann boundary value problem for the polyharmonic equation in the unit ball is obtained. Examples are given that illustrate all stages of constructing solutions to the problems under consideration.

Using bifurcation techniques and Sturm comparison theorem, we establish exact multiplicity results of sign-changing or constant sign solutions for the boundary value problemsu″+a(t)f(u)=0,t∈(0,1),u(0)=0, andu(1)=0, wheref∈C(ℝ,ℝ)satisfiesf(0)=0and the limitsf∞=lim|s|→∞(f(s)/s),f0=lim|s|→0(f(s)/s)∈{0,∞}. Weight functiona(t)∈C1[0,1]satisfiesa(t)>0on[0,1].

In this paper we establish the existence of single and multiple solutions to the semipositone discrete Dirichlet boundary value problem {Δ2y(i−1)+μf(i,y(i))=0,            i∈{1,2,…,T}y(0)=y(T+1)=0, where μ>0 is a constant and our nonlinear term f(i,u) may be singular at u=0.

AbstractFractional differential equation (FDE) provides an accurate description of transport processes that exhibit anomalous diffusion but introduces new mathematical difficulties that have not been encountered in the context of integer-order differential equation. For example, the wellposedness of the Dirichlet boundary-value problem of one-dimensional variable-coefficient FDE is not fully resolved yet. In addition, Neumann boundary-value problem of FDE poses significant challenges, partly due to the fact that different forms of FDE and different types of Neumann boundary condition have been proposed in the literature depending on different applications.We conduct preliminary mathematical analysis of the wellposedness of different Neumann boundary-value problems of the FDEs. We prove that five out of the nine combinations of three different forms of FDEs that are closed by three types of Neumann boundary conditions are well posed and the remaining four do not admit a solution. In particular, for each form of the FDE there is at least one type of Neumann boundary condition such that the corresponding boundary-value problem is well posed, but there is also at least one type of Neumann boundary condition such that the corresponding boundary-value problem is ill posed. This fully demonstrates the subtlety of the study of FDE, and, in particular, the crucial mathematical modeling question: which combination of FDE and fractional Neumann boundary condition, rather than which form of FDE or fractional Neumann boundary condition, should be used and studied in applications.

AbstractLet G(x,s) be the Green's function for the boundary value problem y(n) = 0, Ty = 0, where Ty = 0 represents boundary conditions at two points. The signs of G(x,s) and certain of its partial derivatives with respect to x are determined for two classes of boundary value problems. The results are also carried over to analogous classes of boundary value problems for difference equations.
