FIXED POINT INDEX THEORY FOR WEAKLY INWARD MAPPINGS

In this paper we define a fixed point index theory for locally Lip., completely continuous and weakly inward mappings defined on closed convex sets in general Banach spaces where no other artificial conditions are imposed. This makes ns to deal with these kinds of mappings more easily. As obvious applications, some results in [3],[5],[7],[9],[10] are deepened and extended.

Multiple Solutions for a Class of Singular Boundary Value Problems of Hadamard Fractional Differential Systems with p-Laplacian Operator

This paper discusses the existence and multiplicity of positive solutions for a class of singular boundary value problems of Hadamard fractional differential systems involving the p-Laplacian operator. First, for the sake of overcoming the singularity, sequences of approximate solutions to the boundary value problem are obtained by applying the fixed point index theory on the cone. Next, it is demonstrated that these sequences of approximate solutions are uniformly bounded and equicontinuous. The main results are then established through the Ascoli-Arzelà theorem. Ultimately, an instance is worked out to test and verify the validity of the main results.

ON THE NUMBER OF FIXED POINTS OF NONLINEAR OPERATORS AND APPLICATIONS

In this paper, the famous Amann three-solution theorem is generalized. Multiplicity question of fixed points for nonlinear operators via two coupled parallel sub-super solutions is studied. Under suitable conditions, the existence of at least six distinct fixed points of nonlinear operators is proved. The theoretical results are then applied to nonlinear system of Hammerstein integral equations.

THE RELATION BETWEEN SIGN-CHANGING SOLUTION AND POSITIVE-NEGATIVE SOLUTIONS FOR NONLINEAR OPERATOR EQUATIONS AND ITS APPLICATIONS

By fixed point index theory and a result obtained by Amann, existence of the solution for a class of nonlinear operator equations x = Ax is discussed. Under suitable conditions, a couple of positive and negative solutions are obtained. Finally, the abstract result is applied to nonlinear Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem, and at least four distinct solutions are obtained.

EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO SUBLINEAR SECOND-ORDER PERIODIC BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

In this paper, we consider a second-order periodic boundary value problem. By the topological degree theory and fixed point index theory, we prove the existence of positive solutions which gives the relationship between the first positive eigenvalue of the associated eigenvalue problem and the behavior of the nonlinear term of the system.

ON THE EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR SINGULAR NEUMANN BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEMS

By using fixed point index theory, we consider the existence of positive solutions for singular nonlinear Neumann boundary value problems. Our main results extend and improve many known results even for non-singular cases.

EXISTENCE OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO SINGULAR SUBLINEAR SEMIPOSITONE NEUMANN BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM

The existence of positive solutions to a singular sublinear semipositone Neumann boundary value problem is considered. In this paper,the nonlinearity term is not necessary to be bounded from below and the function q(t) is allowed to be singular at t = 0 and t = 1.

POSITIVE SOLUTIONS TO A CLASS OF SECOND-ORDER SINGULAR SEMIPOSITIVE NEUMANN BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM WITH GENERAL FORM

By constructing an explicit Green function and using the fixed point index theory on a cone, we present some existence results of positive solutions to a class of second-order singular semipositive Neumann boundary value problem, where the nonlinear term is allowed to be nonnegative and unbounded.

ETA INVARIANTS, DIFFERENTIAL CHARACTERS AND FLAT VECTOR BUNDLES

The purpose of this paper is to give a refinement of the Atiyah-Singer families index theorem at the level of differential characters. Also a Riemann-Roch-Grothendieck theorem for the direct image of flat vector bundles by proper submersions is proved,with Chern classes with coefficients in C/Q. These results are much related to prior work of Gillet-Soule, Bismut-Lott and Lott.
