Asymptotic Stability in the Large of Zero Solution of Second Order Nonlinear Differential Equation

There are many works on the asymptotic stability of second dimensional nonlinear differential equation. In particular, these results only concern with the system which includes one or two terms, whereas few works concern with system which includes more than two terms. In this paper, system which includes four nonlinear terms are studies. We obtain the global asymptotic stability of zero solution, and discard the condition which require the Liapunov function trends to infinity, and only require that the positive orbit is bounded.

Exponential stability and existence of periodic solutions for a class of recurrent neural networks with delays

Both the global exponential stability and the existence of periodic solutions for a class of recurrent neural networks with continuously distributed delays （RNNs） are studied. By employing the inequality α∏k=1^m bk^qk≤1/r ∑qkbk^r＋1/rα^r（α≥0,bk≥0,qk〉0,with ∑k=1^m qk=r-1,r≥1, constructing suitable Lyapunov r k=l k=l functions and applying the homeomorphism theory, a family of simple and new sufficient conditions are given ensuring the global exponential stability and the existence of periodic solutions of RNNs. The results extend and improve the results of earlier publications.

EXISTENCE AND STABILITY OF PERIODIC AND ALMOST PERIODIC SOLUTIONS TO THE BOUSSINESQ SYSTEM IN UNBOUNDED DOMAINS

In this paper we investigate the existence and stability of periodic solutions(on a half-line R_(+))and almost periodic solutions on the whole line time-axis R to the Boussinesq system on several classes of unbounded domains of R^(n) in the framework of interpolation spaces.For the linear Boussinesq system we combine the L^(p)—L^(q)-smoothing estimates and interpolation functors to prove the existence of bounded mild solutions.Then,we prove the existence of periodic solutions by invoking Massera’s principle.We also prove the existence of almost periodic solutions.Then we use the results of the linear Boussinesq system to establish the existence,uniqueness and stability of the small periodic and almost periodic solutions to the Boussinesq system using fixed point arguments and interpolation spaces.Our results cover and extend the previous ones obtained in[13,34,38].

Stability of Crystal Growth Face and Dissolution Face in Crystallization from Solution under Microgravity

The stability of the shapes of crystal growth face and dissolution face in a two-dimensional mathematical model of crystal growth from solution under microgravity is studied. It is proved that the stable shapes of crystal growth face and dissolution face do exist, which are suitably shaped curves with their upper parts inclined backward properly.The stable shapes of crystal growth faces and dissolution faces are calculated for various values of parameters, Ra, Pr and Sc. It is shown that the stronger the convection relative to the diffusion in solution is, the more backward the upperparts of the stable crystal growth face and dissolution face are inclined. The orientation and the shape of dissolution face hardly affect the stable shape of crystal growth face and vice versa.

Influence of dissolved oxygen content on oxidative stability of linked polymer solution

The influence of dissolved oxygen content on the oxidative stability of a linked polymer solution (LPS) was studied by micro-filtration, dynamic light scattering and viscosity measurements. The results showed that at the same temperature, the degree of the oxidative degradation of the LPS increased and the rapidity of the oxidative degradation was accelerated with the increase of the dissolved oxygen content. Consequently, the size of linked polymer coils (LPCs) of the LPS became small, and the plugging capability of the LPS decreased. At a fixed content of dissolved oxygen, with increasing degradation temperature, almost the same results were observed, namely, an increased degree of oxidative degradation, accelerated rapidity of the oxidative degradation and decreased plugging capacity, with decreased oxidative stability of LPS. At 90 °C, in the presence of oxygen, LPS lost its plugging capability after having been degraded for a period of time. But at 40 °C, LPS with low dissolved oxygen content could be stable for a long time. The decreased plugging ability of LPS after oxidative degradation is mainly caused by the decreased size and number of the LPCs due to the breaking of hydrolyzed polyacrylamide (HPAM) molecule segments and the structural changing of HPAM molecules.

Long-term stability of gentamicin sulfate-ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA-Na_2) solution for catheter locks

A lock solution composed of gentamicin sulfate(5 mg/mL) and ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid disodium salt(EDTA-Na2, 30 mg/mL) could fully eradicate in vivo bacterial biofilms in totally implantable venous access ports(TIVAP). In this study, fabrication, conditioning and sterilization processes of antimicrobial lock solution(ALS) were detailed and completed by a stability study. Stability of ALS was conducted for12 months in vial(25 °C 7 2 °C, 60% 7 5% relative humidity(RH), and at 40 °C 7 2 °C, RH 75% 7 5%)and for 24 h and 72 h in TIVAP(40 °C 7 2 °C, RH 75% 7 5%). A stability indicating HPLC assay with UV detection for simultaneous quantification of gentamicin sulfate and EDTA-Na2 was developed. ALS was assayed by ion-pairing high performance liquid chromatography(HPLC) needing gentamicin derivatization, EDTA-Na2 metallocomplexation of samples and gradient mobile phase. HPLC methods to separate four gentamicin components and EDTA-Na2 were validated. Efficiency of sterility procedure and conditioning of ALS was confirmed by bacterial endotoxins and sterility tests. Physicochemical stability of ALS was determined by visual inspection, osmolality, pH, and sub-visible particle counting. Results confirmed that the stability of ALS in vials was maintained for 12 months and 24 h and 72 h in TIVAP.

In this paper, author considers a 3 x 3 system for a reacting flow model propesed by [9]. Since this model has source term, it can be considered as a relaxation approximation to 2 x 2 systems of conservation laws, which include the well-known p-system. From this viewpoint, the author establishes the global existence and the nonlinear stability of travelling wave solutions by L-2 energy method.

Under suitable conditions of the large solutions, it is shown that the large solutions are stable. And we obtain the equivalent condition of this stability condition. Moreover, the global existence and the stability of two-dimensional MHD equations under three-dimensional perturbations are also established.

Upper Bound Solution of Soil Slope Stability under Coupling Effect of Rainfall and Earthquake

Based on the limit analysis upper bound method,a new model of soil slope collapse has been proposed which consists of two rigid block zones and a plastic shear zone.Soil slope was induced failure by coupling effect of rainfall and earthquake,and these blocks were also incorporated horizontal earthquake force and vertical gravitate.The velocities and forces were analyzed in three blocks,and the expression of velocity discontinuities was obtained by the principle of incompressibility.The external force work for the blocks,the internal energy of the plastic shear zone and the velocity discontinuous were solved.The present stability ratios are compared to the prevenient research,which shows the superiority of the mechanism and rationality of the analysis.The critical height of the soil slope can provide theoretical basis for slope support and design.

Stability of Global Solution to Boltzmann-Enskog Equation with External Force

In the presence of external forces depending only on the time and space variables, the Boltzmann-Enskog equation formally conserves only the mass of the . system, and its entropy functional is also nonincreasing. Corresponding to this type of equation, we first give some hypotheses of its bicharacteristic equations and then get some results about the stablity of its global solution with the help of two new Lyapunov functionals： one is to describe interactions between particles with different velocities and the other is to measure the L1 distance between two mild solutions. The former Lyapunov functional yields the time-asymptotic convergence of global classical solutions to the collision free motion while the latter is applied into the veri-fication of the L1 stability of global mild solutions to the Boltzmann-Enskog equation for a moderately or highly dense gas in the influence of external forces.

Three-dimensional MHD flow over a shrinking sheet: Analytical solution and stability analysis

The magnetohydrodynamic（MHD） steady and unsteady axisymmetric flows of a viscous fluid over a two-dimensional shrinking sheet are addressed. The mathematical analysis is carried out in the presence of a large magnetic field. The steady state problem results in a singular perturbation problem having an infinite domain singularity. The secular term appearing in the solution is removed and a two-term uniformly valid solution is derived using the Lindstedt–Poincaré technique. This asymptotic solution is validated by comparing it with the numerical solution. The solution for the unsteady problem is also presented analytically in the asymptotic limit of large magnetic field. The results of velocity profile and skin friction are shown graphically to explore the physical features of the flow field. The stability analysis of the unsteady flow is made to validate the asymptotic solution.

Existence and Exponential Stability of Almost Periodic Solution for Hopfield Neural Network Equations with Almost Periodic Imput

By constructing Liapunov functions and building a new inequality, we obtain two kinds of sufficient conditions for the existence and global exponential stability of almost periodic solution for a Hopfield-type neural networks subject to almost periodic external stimuli. Irt this paper, we assume that the network parameters vary almost periodically with time and we incorporate variable delays in the processing part of the network architectures.

Stability and Approximate Analytical Periodic Solution of a Structurally Orthotropic Stringer Shell

Combined with real engineering, we mainly study the stability of the equilibrium state at the coordinate center of an orthotropic stringer shell system, and the approximate analytic periodic motion is presented around the studied equilibrium state. In addition the rationality of the obtained results is verified by numerical simulation. Furthermore we found that there are actually only four kinds of phase portrait of this type of shell.

Variational Solution of Coral Reef Stability Due to Horizontal Wave Loading

This paper proposes a theoretical method that can be used in calculating the stability of coral reefs or artificial islands.In this work,we employ the variational limiting equilibrium procedure to theoretically determine the slope stability of coral reefs covered with hard reef shells as a result of horizontal wave loads.A reasonable functional is proposed and its extremum is calculated based on the conservation of energy.Then,we deduce the stability factor Ns of coral reefs under combined vertical self-gravity and horizontal wave loads,which is consistent with the published results.We compare some classic examples of homogeneous slopes without hard shells in order to analyze the accuracy of results generated by this variational procedure.The variational results are accurate and reliable according to the results of a series of detailed calculations and comparisons.Simultaneously,some other influence parameters on the reef stability,including the top-layer tensile strength of coral reef,the amplitude of wave loading,and the tensile crack,are calculated and discussed in detail.The analysis results reveal that the existence of a hard reef shell could enhance the stability of reef slope and that there is a nonlinear relationship between the stability factor Ns,the shear strength,and the thickness Ds of the covered coral reef shell.Furthermore,the emergence of top-layer tensile cracks on the coral reefs reduces their stability,and the action of horizontal wave loads greatly decreases the stability of coral reefs.Thus,the hard shell strength and its thickness Ds,surface tensile crack,and wave loading require more careful attention in the field of practical engineering.
