Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues, 

Being concerned with nonlinear mappings in infinite dimensional spaces, Nonlinear Functional Analysis offers powerful tools and a unified framework for the investigation of numerous problems arising from the mathematical modeling of real-world processes. Also, the increase in complexity of those phenomena from science and society which are investigated by applied mathematicians leads to a continuous development of the theory.

This Special Issue invites original contributions, new developments of classical results, and advanced topics of high potential for future research and applications.

Potential topics include, but are not limited to:

  • Topological fixed point theory
  • Critical point theory
  • Equilibrium problems
  • Nonlinear ODEs and PDEs
  • Nonlinear models from physics, biology, and medicine

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

We obtain the existence of multiple pairs of periodic solutions for difference equations of type Δ(Δu(n  1)1  |Δu(n  1)|2)=λg(u(n))(nZ), where g:RR is a continuous odd function with anticoercive primitive, and λ>0 is a real parameter. The approach is variational and relies on the critical point theory for convex, lower semicontinuous perturbations of C1-functionals. Full article

In this paper, we introduce the concepts of an inferior idempotent cone and a BID-cone b-metric space over Banach algebra. We establish some new existence theorems and fixed point theorems in the setting of complete BID-cone b-metric spaces over Banach algebra. Some fundamental questions and examples are also given.

In this work, we shifted a recent multiplicity result by B. Ricceri from a Hilbert space to a Banach space setting by making use of a duality mapping relative to some increasing function. Using the min–max arguments, we provide conditions for an action functional to have at least two global minima. Full article

We establish a fixed point theorem for Cirić contraction in the context of convex b-metric spaces. Furthermore, we ensure that there is a fixed point for the maps satisfying the condition (B) (a kind of almost contraction) in convex b-metric spaces and demonstrate its uniqueness as well. Supporting examples to substantiate the generality of the proved results are given. Full article

In this paper, we consider local Dirichlet problems driven by the (r(u),s(u))-Laplacian operator in the principal part. We prove the existence of nontrivial weak solutions in the case where the variable exponents r,s are real continuous functions and we have dependence on the solution u. The main contributions of this article are obtained in respect of: (i) Carathéodory nonlinearity satisfying standard regularity and polynomial growth assumptions, where in this case, we use geometrical and compactness conditions to establish the existence of the solution to a regularized problem via variational methods and the critical point theory; and (ii) Sobolev nonlinearity, somehow related to the space structure. In this case, we use a priori estimates and asymptotic analysis of regularized auxiliary problems to establish the existence and uniqueness theorems via a fixed-point argument. Full article
