SOME OSCILLATION CRITERIA FOR A CLASS OF HIGHER ORDER NONLINEAR DYNAMIC EQUATIONS WITH A DELAY ARGUMENT ON TIME SCALES

In this paper,we establish some oscillation criteria for higher order nonlinear delay dynamic equations of the form[rnφ(⋯r2(r1x^(Δ))^(Δ)⋯)^(Δ)]^(Δ)(t)+h(t)f(x(τ(t)))=0 on an arbitrary time scale T with supT=∞,where n≥2,φ(u)=|u|^(γ)sgn(u)forγ>0,ri(1≤i≤n)are positive rd-continuous functions and h∈C_(rd)(T,(0,∞)).The functionτ∈C_(rd)(T,T)satisfiesτ(t)≤t and lim_(t→∞)τ(t)=∞and f∈C(R,R).By using a generalized Riccati transformation,we give sufficient conditions under which every solution of this equation is either oscillatory or tends to zero.The obtained results are new for the corresponding higher order differential equations and difference equations.In the end,some applications and examples are provided to illustrate the importance of the main results.

THE ASYMPTOTIC BEHAVIOR AND OSCILLATION FOR A CLASS OF THIRD-ORDER NONLINEAR DELAY DYNAMIC EQUATIONS

In this paper,we consider a class of third-order nonlinear delay dynamic equations.First,we establish a Kiguradze-type lemma and some useful estimates.Second,we give a sufficient and necessary condition for the existence of eventually positive solutions having upper bounds and tending to zero.Third,we obtain new oscillation criteria by employing the Potzsche chain rule.Then,using the generalized Riccati transformation technique and averaging method,we establish the Philos-type oscillation criteria.Surprisingly,the integral value of the Philos-type oscillation criteria,which guarantees that all unbounded solutions oscillate,is greater than θ_(4)(t_(1),T).The results of Theorem 3.5 and Remark 3.6 are novel.Finally,we offer four examples to illustrate our results.

Boundedness of Solutions of Second Order Nonlinear Dynamic Equations

This paper deals with the boundedness of the solutions of the following dynamic equations andon a time scale T. By using the Bellman integral inequality, we establish some sufficient conditions for bound- edness of solutions of the above equations. Our results not only unify the boundedness results for differential and difference equations but are also new for the q-difference equations.

Novel exact solutions of coupled nonlinear Schro¨dinger equations with time–space modulation

We construct various novel exact solutions of two coupled dynamical nonlinear Schrōdinger equations. Based on the similarity transformation, we reduce the coupled nonlinear Schrōdinger equations with time-and space-dependent potentials, nonlinearities, and gain or loss to the coupled dynamical nonlinear Schrrdinger equations. Some special types of non-travelling wave solutions, such as periodic, resonant, and quasiperiodically oscillating solitons, are used to exhibit the wave propagations by choosing some arbitrary functions. Our results show that the number of the localized wave of one component is always twice that of the other one. In addition, the stability analysis of the solutions is discussed numerically.

Prevention of wing rock motion for lightly damped aircraft in lateral-directional dynamics

Based on the Ricatti technique, the methodology for preventing the limit cycle accomplished by adding a control function to the original equation of wing rock motion is presented in this paper. To analyze the state variables of the system, the complete set of nonlinear equations of motion including an effective linear control function was solved for A-4D and Mig-21 Aircraft. The roll angle responding to the linear control function for both models was estimated when the systems were tested under different damping ratios. The numerical re- suits show that a linear control function including both the roll attitude and the roll rate is sufficient to suppress the wing rock motion with an acceptable error in desired time. A good agreement between the numerical results and the published work is obtained for the limit cycle oscillation existence at different damping ratios.

Boundary Control of Coupled Nonlinear Three Dimensional Marine Risers

This paper presents a design of boundary controllers implemented at the top end for global stabilization of a marine riser in a three dimensional space under environmental loadings. Based on the energy approach, nonlinear partial differential equations of motion, including bending-bending and longitudinal-bending couplings for the risers are derived. The couplings cause mutual effects between the three independent directions in the riser＇s motions, and make it difficult to minimize its vibrations. The Lyapunov direct method is employed to design the boundary controller. It is shown that the proposed boundary controllers can effectively reduce the riser＇s vibration. Stability analysis of the closed-loop system is performed using the Lyapunov direct method. Numerical simulations illustrate the results.

PARALLEL DYNAMIC ITERATION METHODS FOR SOLVING NONLINEAR TIME-PERIODIC DIFFERENTIAL-ALGEBRAIC EQUATIONS

In this paper we presented a convergence condition of parallel dynamic iteration methods for a nonlinear system of differential-algebraic equations with a periodic constraint. The convergence criterion is decided by the spectral expression of a linear operator derived from system partitions. Numerical experiments given here confirm the theoretical work of the paper.

THE IMPROVED FOURIER SPLITTING METHOD AND DECAY ESTIMATES OF THE GLOBAL SOLUTIONS OF THE CAUCHY PROBLEMS FOR NONLINEAR SYSTEMS OF FLUID DYNAMICS EQUATIONS

Consider the Cauchy problems for an n-dimensional nonlinear system of fluid dynamics equations. The main purpose of this paper is to improve the Fourier splitting method to accomplish the decay estimates with sharp rates of the global weak solutions of the Cauchy problems. We will couple togeth- er the elementary uniform energy estimates of the global weak solutions and a well known Gronwall＇s inequality to improve the Fourier splitting method. This method was initiated by Maria Schonbek in the 1980＇s to study the op- timal long time asymptotic behaviours of the global weak solutions of the nonlinear system of fluid dynamics equations. As applications, the decay esti- mates with sharp rates of the global weak solutions of the Cauchy problems for n-dimensional incompressible Navier-Stokes equations, for the n-dimensional magnetohydrodynamics equations and for many other very interesting nonlin- ear evolution equations with dissipations can be established.

Quantum enigma hidden in continuum mechanics

It is reported that there exist deformable media which display quantum effects just as quantum entities do. As such, each quantum entity usually treated as a point particle may be represented by a deformable medium, the dynamic behavior of which is prescribed by four dynamic state variables, including mass density, velocity, internal pressure, and intrinsic angular momentum. In conjunction with the finding of the characteristic equation characterizing the physical nature of such media, it is found that a complex field quantity may be introduced to uncover a perhaps unexpected correlation, i.e., the governing dynamic equations for such media may be exactly reduced to the SchrSdinger equation, from which the closed-form solutions for all the four dynamic state variables can be obtained. It turns out that this complex field quantity is just the wavefunction in the SchrSdinger equation. Moreover, the dynamic effects peculiar to spin are derivable as direct consequences. It appears that these results provide a missing link in quantum theory, in the sense of disclosing the physical origin and nature of both the wavefunction and the wave equation. Now, the inherent indeterminacy in quantum theory may be rendered irrelevant. The consequences are explained for certain long-standing fundamental issues.

BIFURCATIONS AND NEW EXACT TRAVELLING WAVE SOLUTIONS OF THE COUPLED NONLINEAR SCHRDINGER-KdV EQUATIONS

By using the method of dynamical system, the exact travelling wave solutions of the coupled nonlinear Schrdinger-KdV equations are studied. Based on this method, all phase portraits of the system in the parametric space are given. All possible bounded travelling wave solutions such as solitary wave solutions and periodic travelling wave solutions are obtained. With the aid of Maple software, the numerical simulations are conducted for solitary wave solutions and periodic travelling wave solutions to the coupled nonlinear Schrdinger-KdV equations. The results show that the presented findings improve the related previous conclusions.
