An algebraic structure of discrete zero curvature equations is established for integrable coupling systems associated with semi-direct sums of Lie algebras. As an application example of this algebraic structure, a τ-symmetry algebra for the Volterra lattice integrable couplings is engendered from this theory.

We give a new argument on the classification of solutions of Gauss curvature equation on R2,which was first proved by W.Chen and C.Li[Duke Math.J.,1991,63(3):615-622].Our argument bases on the decomposition properties of the Gauss curvature equation on the punctured disk.

Interior Gradient Estimates for General Prescribed Curvature Equations

In this paper,we derive the interior gradient estimate for solutions to general prescribed curvature equations.The proof is based on a fundamental observation of G°arding’s cone and some delicate inequalities under a suitably chosen coordinate chart.As an application,we obtain a Liouville type theorem.

Multi-component Dirac equation hierarchy and its multi-component integrable couplings system

A general scheme for generating a multi-component integrable equation hierarchy is proposed. A simple 3M- dimensional loop algebra ~X is produced. By taking advantage of ~X a new isospectral problem is established and then by making use of the Tu scheme the multi-component Dirac equation hierarchy is obtained. Finally, an expanding loop algebra ~FM of the loop algebra ~X is presented. Based on the ~FM, the multi-component integrable coupling system of the multi-component Dirac equation hierarchy is investigated. The method in this paper can be applied to other nonlinear evolution equation hierarchies.

A New Nonlinear Integrable Couplings of Yang Equations Hierarchy and Its Hamiltonian Structure

Based on a kind of non-semisimple Lie algebras, we establish a way to construct nonlinear continuous integrable couplings.

New Positive and Negative Hierarchies of Integrable Differential-Difference Equations and Conservation Laws

Two hierarchies of nonlinear integrable positive and negative lattice equations are derived from a discrete spectrak problem. The two lattice hierarchies are proved to have discrete zero curvature representations associated with a discrete spectral problem, which also shows that the positive and negative hierarchies correspond to positive and negative power expansions of Lax operators with respect to the spectral parameter, respectively. Moreover, the integrable lattice models in the positive hierarchy are of polynomial type, and the integrable lattice models in the negative hierarchy are of rational type. Further, we construct infinite conservation laws about the positive hierarchy.

An Eight Component Integrable Hamiltonian Hierarchy from a Reduced Seventh-Order Matrix Spectral Problem

We present an eight component integrable Hamiltonian hierarchy, based on a reduced seventh order matrix spectral problem, with the aim of aiding the study and classification of multicomponent integrable models and their underlying mathematical structures. The zero-curvature formulation is the tool to construct a recursion operator from the spatial matrix problem. The second and third set of integrable equations present integrable nonlinear Schrödinger and modified Korteweg-de Vries type equations, respectively. The trace identity is used to construct Hamiltonian structures, and the first three Hamiltonian functionals so generated are computed.

MULTIPLE POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A CLASS OF SEMIPOSITONE NEUMANN PROBLEMSWITH SINGULARφ-LAPLACIAN

We study the existence of multiple positive solutions for a Neumann problem with singular φ-Laplacian{-(φ（u′）)′= λf（u）, x ∈（0, 1）,u′（0） = 0 = u′（1）,where λ is a positive parameter, φ（s） =s/（1-s;）;, f ∈ C;（[0, ∞）, R), f′（u） > 0 for u > 0, and for some 0 < β < θ such that f（u） < 0 for u ∈ [0, β)（semipositone） and f（u） > 0 for u > β.Under some suitable assumptions, we obtain the existence of multiple positive solutions of the above problem by using the quadrature technique. Further, if f ∈ C;（[0, β） ∪（β, ∞）, R),f′′（u） ≥ 0 for u ∈ [0, β) and f′′（u） ≤ 0 for u ∈（β, ∞）, then there exist exactly 2 n + 1 positive solutions for some interval of λ, which is dependent on n and θ. Moreover, We also give some examples to apply our results.

A Family of Integrable Rational Semi-Discrete Systems and Its Reduction

Within framework of zero curvature representation theory, a family of integrable rational semi-discrete systems is derived from a matrix spectral problem. The Hamiltonian forms of obtained semi-discrete systems are constructed by means of the discrete trace identity. The Liouville integrability for the obtained family is demonstrated. In the end, a reduced family of obtained semi-discrete systems and its Hamiltonian form are worked out.

Hamiltonian structure, Darboux transformation for a soliton hierarchy associated with Lie algebra so(4, C)

In this paper, we first introduce a Lie algebra of the special orthogonal group, g = so(4, C), whose elements are 4 × 4trace-free, skew-symmetric complex matrices. As its application, we obtain a new soliton hierarchy which is reduced to AKNS hierarchy and present its bi-Hamiltonian structure and Liouville integrability. Furthermore, for one of the equations in the resulting hierarchy, we construct a Darboux matrix T depending on the spectral parameter λ.

Finally, the （2＋1）-dimensional integrable coupling system of the Toda lattice hierarchy is obtained through enlarging spectral problem.

SOME DIAGNOSTICS IN NONLINEAR REPRODUCTIVE DISPERSION MODELS

This article discusses the problem of the detection of influential cases in nonlinear reproductive dispersion models (NRDM). A diagnostic based on case\|deletion approach in estimating equations is proposed. The relationships between the generalized leverage defined by Wei et al. in 1998, statistical curvature, and the local influence of the response vector perturbations are investigated in NRDM. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the results.

This paper aims to construct six-component integrable hierarchies from a kind of matrix spectral problems within the zero curvature formulation.Their Hamiltonian formulations are furnished by the trace identity,which guarantee the commuting property of infinitely many symmetries and conserved Hamiltonian functionals.Illustrative examples of the resulting integrable equations of second and third orders are explicitly computed.

Integrable nonlocal PT-symmetric generalized so(3,R)-mKdV equations

Based on a soliton hierarchy associated with so(3,R),we construct two integrable nonlocal PT-symmetric generalized mKdV equations.The key step is to formulate two nonlocal reverse-spacetime similarity transformations for the involved spectral matrix,and therefore,integrable nonlocal complex and real reverse-spacetime generalized so(3,R)-mKdV equations of fifth-order are presented.The resulting reduced nonlocal integrable equations inherit infinitely many commuting symmetries and conservation laws.

A priori estimates versus arbitrarily large solutions for fractional semi-linear elliptic equations with critical Sobolev exponent

We study positive solutions to the fractional semi-linear elliptic equation(−∆)σu=K(x)u n+2σn−2σin B2\{0}with an isolated singularity at the origin,where K is a positive function on B2,the punctured ball B2\{0}⊂Rn with n>2,σ∈(0,1),and(−∆)σis the fractional Laplacian.In lower dimensions,we show that for any K∈C1(B2),a positive solution u always satisfies that u(x)6 C|x|−(n−2σ)/2 near the origin.In contrast,we construct positive functions K∈C1(B2)in higher dimensions such that a positive solution u could be arbitrarily large near the origin.In particular,these results also apply to the prescribed boundary mean curvature equations on B n+1.

Loop Algebras and Bi-integrable Couplings

A class of non-semisimple matrix loop algebras consisting of triangular block matrices is introduced and used to generate bi-integrable couplings of soliton equations from zero curvature equations.The variational identities under non-degenerate,symmetric and ad-invariant bilinear forms are used to furnish Hamiltonian structures of the resulting bi-integrable couplings.A special case of the suggested loop algebras yields nonlinear bi-integrable Hamiltonian couplings for the AKNS soliton hierarchy.
