EXISTENCE OF SOLUTION AND APPROXIMATE CONTROLLABILITY OF A SECOND-ORDER NEUTRAL STOCHASTIC DIFFERENTIAL EQUATION WITH STATE DEPENDENT DELAY

This paper has two sections which deals with a second order stochastic neutral partial differential equation with state dependent delay. In the first section the existence and uniqueness of mild solution is obtained by use of measure of non-compactness. In the second section the conditions for approximate controllability are investigated for the distributed second order neutral stochastic differential system with respect to the approximate controllability of the corresponding linear system in a Hilbert space. Our method is an extension of co-author N. Sukavanam’s novel approach in [22]. Thereby, we remove the need to assume the invertibility of a controllability operator used by authors in [5], which fails to exist in infinite dimensional spaces if the associated semigroup is compact. Our approach also removes the need to check the invertibility of the controllability Gramian operator and associated limit condition used by the authors in [20], which are practically difficult to verify and apply. An example is provided to illustrate the presented theory.

Oscillation of Second Order Delay Differential Equations with Nonlinear Neutral Term

Approximate Controllability of Second-Order Neutral Stochastic Differential Equations with Infinite Delay and Poisson Jumps

The modelling of risky asset by stochastic processes with continuous paths, based on Brow- nian motions, suffers from several defects. First, the path continuity assumption does not seem reason- able in view of the possibility of sudden price variations （jumps） resulting of market crashes. A solution is to use stochastic processes with jumps, that will account for sudden variations of the asset prices. On the other hand, such jump models are generally based on the Poisson random measure. Many popular economic and financial models described by stochastic differential equations with Poisson jumps. This paper deals with the approximate controllability of a class of second-order neutral stochastic differential equations with infinite delay and Poisson jumps. By using the cosine family of operators, stochastic analysis techniques, a new set of sufficient conditions are derived for the approximate controllability of the above control system. An example is provided to illustrate the obtained theory.

Subspaces for weak mild solutions of the second order abstract differential equation

The topic on the subspaces for the polynomially or exponentially bounded weak mild solutions of the following abstract Cauchy problem d^2/（dr^2）u（t,x）=Au（t,x）;u（0,x）=x,d/（dt）u（0,x）=0,x∈X is studied, where A is a closed operator on Banach space X. The case that the problem is ill-posed is treated, and two subspaces Y（A, k） and H（A, ω） are introduced. Y（A, k） is the set of all x in X for which the second order abstract differential equation has a weak mild solution v（ t, x） such that ess sup{（1＋t）^-k｜d/（dt）〈v（t,x）,x^＊〉｜：t≥0,x^＊∈X^＊,｜x^＊‖≤1}〈＋∞. H（A, ω） is the set of all x in X for which the second order abstract differential equation has a weak mild solution v（t,x）such that ess sup{e^-ωl｜d/（dt）〈v（t,x）,x^＊）｜：t≥0,x^＊∈X^＊,‖x^＊‖≤1}〈＋∞. The following conclusions are proved that Y（A, k） and H（A, ω） are Banach spaces, and both are continuously embedded in X; the restriction operator A ｜ Y（A,k） generates a once-integrated cosine operator family { C（t） }t≥0 such that limh→0＋^-1/h‖C（t＋h）-C（t）‖Y（A,k）≤M（1＋t）^k,arbitary t≥0; the restriction operator A ｜H（A,ω） generates a once- integrated cosine operator family {C（t）}t≥0 such that limh→0＋^-1/h‖C（t＋h）-C（t）‖H（A,ω）≤≤Me^ωt,arbitary t≥0.

This criterion extends and unifies some of the results obtained in [1]- [5].

Modelling of Energy Storage Photonic Medium by Wavelength-Based Multivariable Second-Order Differential Equation

Wavelength-dependent mathematical modelling of the differential energy change of a photon has been performed inside a proposed hypothetical optical medium.The existence of this medium demands certain mathematical constraints,which have been derived in detail.Using reverse modelling,a medium satisfying the derived conditions is proven to store energy as the photon propagates from the entry to exit point.A single photon with a given intensity is considered in the analysis and hypothesized to possess a definite non-zero probability of maintaining its energy and velocity functions analytic inside the proposed optical medium,despite scattering,absorption,fluorescence,heat generation,and other nonlinear mechanisms.The energy and velocity functions are thus singly and doubly differentiable with respect to wavelength.The solution of the resulting second-order differential equation in two variables proves that energy storage or energy flotation occurs inside a medium with a refractive index satisfying the described mathematical constraints.The minimum-value-normalized refractive index profiles of the modelled optical medium for transformed wavelengths both inside the medium and for vacuum have been derived.Mathematical proofs,design equations,and detailed numerical analyses are presented in the paper.
