Vol 69, No 1 (2023): Differential and Functional Differential Equations

We consider nondiagonal elliptic and parabolic systems of equations with strongly nonlinear terms in the gradient. We review and comment known solvability and regularity results and describe the last author’s results in this field.

A new approach based on the analysis of the influence of a single perturbation is proposed as a test for the shadowing property for a broad class of dynamical systems (in particular, non-autonomous) under a variety of perturbations. Applications for several interesting cases are considered in detail.

In this paper, we study a problem of normal oscillations of a homogeneous mixture of several viscous compressible fluids filling a bounded domain of three-dimensional space with an infinitely smooth boundary. Two boundary conditions are considered: the no-slip condition and the slip condition without shear stresses. It is proved that the essential spectrum of the problem in both cases is a finite set of segments located on the real axis. The discrete spectrum lies on the real axis, except perhaps for a finite number of complex conjugate eigenvalues. The spectrum of the problem contains a subsequence of eigenvalues with a limit point at infinity and a power-law asymptotic distribution.

The stability of systems of linear autonomous functional differential equations of neutral type is studied. The study is based on the well-known representation of the solution in the form of an integral operator, the kernel of which is the Cauchy function of the equation under study. The definitions of Lyapunov, asymptotic, and exponential stability are formulated in terms of the corresponding properties of the Cauchy function, which allows us to clarify a number of traditional concepts without loss of generality. Along with the concept of asymptotic stability, a new concept of strong asymptotic stability is introduced. The main results are related to the stability with respect to the initial function from the spaces of summable functions. In particular, it is established that strong asymptotic stability with initial data from the space \(L_1\) is equivalent to the exponential estimate of the Cauchy function and, moreover, exponential stability with respect to initial data from the spaces \(L_p\) for any \(p\ge1.\)

The paper is devoted to the study of the smoothness of generalized solutions of the first boundaryvalue problem for a strongly elliptic functional differential equation containing orthotropic contraction transformations of the arguments of the unknown function in the leading part. The problem is considered in a circle, the coe cients of the equation are constant. Orthotropic contraction is understood as different contraction in different variables. Conditions for the conservation of smoothness on the boundaries of neighboring subdomains formed by the action of the contraction transformation group on a circle are found in explicit form for any right-hand side from the Lebesgue space.

The paper contains a survey of several results from the author’s papers and joint papers by the author and Yu. N. Zakharyan, both on the zero existence and approximation for single-valued and multivalued (α, β)-search functionals, and also on the zero existence preservation for parametric family of such functionals, under the parameter changing. Some corollaries of these results in the fixed point and coincidence theory of single-valued and multi-valued mappings of metric spaces are also given. The comparison is provided with some known results by other authors. In the concluding part of the paper, we investigate the problem on the existence of a parameter-continuous single-valued branch of zeros for a parametric family of search functionals. A theorem on the existence of solution of this problem is proved.
