Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The Special Issue of this scientific journal delves into the forefront of mathematical research, concentrating on nonlinear waves and evolution partial differential equations. Embracing cutting-edge concepts, it specifically spotlights six critical aspects: well-posedness, blow-up phenomena, scattering phenomena, stability/instability, and variational and geometrical approaches to studying PDEs. The intricate behavior of nonlinear waves and their interactions constitutes a fundamental topic worthy of exploration within this Special Issue. Articles may analyze the long-time behavior phenomena, investigating how waves evolve and disperse over time. The quest for stability within evolving systems takes center stage. The Special Issue probes deep into the concepts of stability/instability and scattering, inspecting how solutions of nonlinear wave equations behave over extended periods and different geometric frameworks. This examination not only refines theoretical frameworks but also unveils the stability constraints crucial for real-world applications. Addressing the foundational aspect of well-posedness, the Special Issue explores new formulation and solution behaviors of nonlinear evolution PDEs. Articles aim to establish robust frameworks that ensure the existence, uniqueness, and stability of solutions, providing a critical foundation for advancing mathematical models in diverse domains. Furthermore, variational and geometric approaches to solving nonlinear PDEs have emerged as highly significant, and this Special Issue aims to showcase its efficacy in providing elegant solutions and exploring the behavior of nonlinear systems settled on general ambient spaces.

This study investigates extremal solutions for fractional-order delayed difference equations, utilizing the Caputo nabla operator to establish mild lower and upper approximations via discrete fractional calculus. A new approach is employed to demonstrate the uniform convergence of the sequences of lower and upper approximations within the monotone iterative scheme using the summation representation of the solutions, which serves as a discrete analogue to Volterra integral equations. This research highlights practical applications through numerical simulations in discrete bidirectional associative memory neural networks. Full article

In this article, the validity of the comparison principle (CP) for weakly coupled quasi-linear cooperative systems with delays is proven. This is a powerful tool for studying the qualitative properties of the solutions. The CP is crucial in the proofs of the existence and uniqueness of weak solutions to cooperative reaction–diffusion systems presented here. Other direct consequences of the CP are the stability of the solution, the attenuation of long time periods, etc. An example model is given by spatial SEIR models with delays. They are suitable for modeling disease spread in space and time and can be described using a weakly coupled cooperative reaction–diffusion system. In this paper, spatial SEIR models with delays are considered in a continuous space. The emphasis is on the qualitative properties of the solutions, which are important for providing a mathematical basis for the model. Full article

In this article, we consider a semilinear elliptic system involving gradient terms of the form Δyx+λ1yx=pxfyx,zxifxΩ,Δzx+λ2zx=qxgyxifxΩ, where λ1, λ20,, Ω is either a ball of radius R>0 or the entire space RN. Based on certain standard assumptions regarding the potential functions p and q, we introduce new conditions on the nonlinearities f and g to investigate the existence of entire large solutions for the given system. The method employed is successive approximation. Additionally, for specific cases of p, q, f and g, we employ Python code to plot the graph of both the numerical solution and the exact solution.

We prove in dimension d=1 a result similar to a classical paper by Soffer and Weinstein, Jour. Diff. Eq. 98 (1992), improving it by encompassing for pure power nonlinearities the whole range of exponents p>1. The proof is based on the virial inequality of Kowalczyk et al., J. Eur. Math. Soc. (JEMS) 24 (2022), with smoothing estimates as shown in Mizumachi J. Math. Kyoto Univ. 48 (2008). Full article
