This paper deals with the chemotaxis–haptotaxis system with signal-dependent sensitivity { u t = Δ u − ∇ ⋅ ( χ ( v ) u ∇ v ) − ξ ∇ ⋅ ( u ∇ w ) + μ u ( 1 − u − w ) , x ∈ Ω , t > 0 , v t = Δ v − v + u , x ∈ Ω , t > 0 , w t = − v w , x ∈ Ω , t > 0 under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions and initial conditions, where Ω ⊂ R n ( n ≥ 3 ) is a bounded domain with smooth boundary, ξ , μ > 0 are constants and χ is a function satisfying some conditions. In the case that χ is a constant it is known that the above system possesses a global classical solution under some conditions (Cao [4] , Tao [10] , Tao and Winkler [11] ); however, in the case that χ is a function, the above system has not been studied. The purpose of this paper is to establish global existence and boundedness in the above system. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract: This paper deals with the quasilinear fully parabolic Keller–Segel system under homogeneous Neumann boundary conditions in a bounded domain with smooth boundary, . The diffusivity is assumed to satisfy some further technical conditions such as algebraic growth and , which says that the diffusion is allowed to be not only non-degenerate but also degenerate. The global-in-time existence and uniform-in-time boundedness of solutions are established under the subcritical condition that for with , and . When , this paper represents an improvement of Tao and Winkler [17], because the domain does not necessarily need to be convex in this paper. In the case and , uniform-in-time boundedness is an open problem left in a previous paper [7]. This paper also gives an answer to it in bounded domains. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In the beginning of the 1990s we devoted a sequence of papers to perturbation theory, singular limits and well-posedness problems. In particular, the strong well-posedness of the initial–boundary value problem for the compressible Euler equations was demonstrate for the first time. Our method also allowed singular limit results in the strong norm, even under assumptions weaker than the current ones in the literature (where the strong norm is not reached). It is worth noting that, until now, the above method and results have not been substantially improved. Hence an introduction to it still looks timely. Actually, in a forthcoming paper, by returning to this method, we improve (in a very substantial way) some important results recently appeared in the literature. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: We revisit the study in [Y. Trakhinin, On the existence of incompressible current-vortex sheets: study of a linearized free boundary value problem, Math. Methods Appl. Sci. 28 (2005) 917–945] where an energy a priori estimate for the linearized free boundary value problem for planar current-vortex sheets in ideal incompressible magnetohydrodynamics was proved for a part of the whole stability domain found a long time ago in [S.I. Syrovatskij, The stability of tangential discontinuities in a magnetohydrodynamic medium, Zh. Eksper. Teor. Fiz. 24 (1953) 622–629 (in Russian); W.I. Axford, Note on a problem of magnetohydrodynamic stability, Canad. J. Phys. 40 (1962) 654–655]. In this paper we derive an a priori estimate in the whole stability domain. The crucial point in deriving this estimate is the construction of a symbolic symmetrizer for a nonstandard elliptic problem for the small perturbation of total pressure. This symmetrizer is an analogue of Kreiss'' type symmetrizers. As in hyperbolic theory, the failure of the uniform Lopatinski condition, i.e., the fact that current-vortex sheets are only weakly (neutrally) stable yields loss of derivatives in the energy estimate. The result of this paper is a necessary step to prove the local-in-time existence of stable nonplanar incompressible current-vortex sheets by a suitable Nash–Moser type iteration scheme.

Abstract: The paper is aimed as a contribution to the general theory of nonlinear infinite dimensional dynamical systems describing interacting physiologically structured populations. We carry out continuation of local solutions to maximal solutions in a functional analytic setting. For maximal solutions we establish global existence via exponential boundedness and by a contraction argument, adapted to derive uniform existence time. Moreover, within the setting of dual Banach spaces, we derive results on continuous dependence with respect to time and initial state. To achieve generality the paper is organized top down, in the way that we first treat abstract nonlinear dynamical systems under very few but rather strong hypotheses and thereafter work our way down towards verifiable assumptions in terms of more basic biological modelling ingredients that guarantee that the high level hypotheses hold.

Abstract: By using Mawhin''s continuation theorem, some sufficient conditions for the existence of solution for a class of second-order differential equations with integral boundary conditions at resonance are established, which are complement of previously known results. The interesting point is that we shall deal with the case , which will cause some difficulties in constructing the projector Q. Since all the existence results obtained in previous papers are for the case , our work is new. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In this paper we show that the well-known Mönch fixed point theorem for non-self mappings remains valid if we replace the Leray–Schauder boundary condition by the interior condition. As a consequence, we obtain a partial generalization of Petryshyn''s result for nonexpansive mappings. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In this paper we consider the solutions of micropolar fluid equations in space dimension two with periodic boundary condition. We show that the strong solutions are analytic in time with values in an appropriate Gevrey class of function, provided that external forces and moments are time-independent and are in a Gevrey class.

Abstract: For more general nonlinear term g, the paper shows the exact blow-up rate of the unique solution to the singular boundary value problem where , which is positive and non-decreasing on (may vanish at zero).

Abstract: In this paper we study the Riemann and Hilbert problems of k-monogenic functions. By using Euler operator, we transform the boundary value problem of k-monogenic functions into the boundary value problems of monogenic functions. Then by the Almansi-type theorem of k-monogenic functions, we get the solutions of these problems. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In this paper we focus on the initial–boundary value problem of the 2-D isentropic Euler equations with damping. We prove the global-in-time existence of classical solution to the initial–boundary value problem for small smooth initial data by the method of local existence of solution combined with a priori energy estimates, where the appropriate boundary condition plays an important role.

Abstract: In this paper, the dynamic analysis of 3-D composite beam elements restrained at their edges by the most general boundary conditions and subjected in arbitrarily distributed dynamic loading is presented. For the solution of the problem at hand, a boundary element method is developed for the construction of the 14×14 stiffness matrix and the nodal load vector of a member of an arbitrarily shaped composite cross section, taking into account both torsional warping and shear deformation effects, which together with the corresponding mass and damping matrices lead to the formulation of the equation of motion. To account for shear deformations, the concept of shear deformation coefficients is used, defining these factors using a strain energy approach. Eight boundary value problems with respect to the variable along the bar angle of twist, to the primary warping function, to a fictitious function, to the beam transverse and longitudinal displacements and to two stress functions are formulated and solved employing a pure BEM approach. Both free and forced vibrations are considered, taking also into account effects of transverse, longitudinal, rotatory, torsional and warping inertia and damping resistance. Numerical examples are presented to illustrate the method and demonstrate its efficiency and accuracy. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract: In this paper, we deal with a domain optimization problem governed by a boundary-value problem of Laplace equation. We prove the existence of the optimal domain for the given cost functional with a boundary penalty. At the same time, we also point out that there is no optimal domain in the absence of the boundary penalty. At last, necessary condition of the optimal domain is given. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

In this paper, we consider boundary value problems for nonlinear differential equations on the semi-axis (0,∞) and also on the whole axis (−∞,∞), under the assumption that the left-hand side being a second order linear differential expression belongs to the Weyl limit-circle case. The boundary value problems are considered in the Hilbert spaces L2(0,∞) and L2(−∞,∞), and include boundary conditions at infinity. The existence and uniqueness results for solutions of the considered boundary value problems are established. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

We establish several existence and nonexistence results for the boundary value problem −Δu+K(x)g(u)=λf(x,u)+μh(x) in Ω, u=0 on ∂Ω, where Ω is a smooth bounded domain in RN, λ and μ are positive parameters, h is a positive function, while f has a sublinear growth. The main feature of this paper is that the nonlinearity g is assumed to be unbounded around the origin. Our analysis shows the importance of the role played by the decay rate of g combined with the signs of the extremal values of the potential K(x) on Ω¯. The proofs are based on various techniques related to the maximum principle for elliptic equations. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
