PROPERTIES OF POSITIVE SOLUTIONS FOR A NONLOCAL NONLINEAR DIFFUSION EQUATION WITH NONLOCAL NONLINEAR BOUNDARY CONDITION

This article deals with the global existence and blow-up of positive solution of a nonlinear diffusion equation with nonlocal source and nonlocal nonlinear boundary condition. We investigate the influence of the reaction terms, the weight functions and the nonlinear terms in the boundary conditions on global existence and blow up for this equation. Moreover, we establish blow-up rate estimates under some appropriate hypotheses.

GLOBAL EXISTENCE AND NONEXISTENCE FOR A DOUBLY DEGENERATE PARABOLIC SYSTEM COUPLED VIA NONLINEAR BOUNDARY FLUX

This article deals with the degenerate parabolic system with nonlinear boundary flux. By constructing the self-similar supersolution and subsolution, we obtain the critical global existence curve and the critical Fujita curve for the problem. Especially for the blow-up case, it is rather technical. It comes from the construction of the so-called Zel＇dovich-Kompaneetz-Barenblatt profile

Generalized synchronization of discrete systems

Generalized synchronization of two discrete systems was discussed. By constructing appropriately nonlinear coupling terms, some sufficient conditions for determining the generalized synchronization between the drive and response systems were derived. In a positive invariant and bounded set, many chaotic maps satisfy the sufficient conditions. The effectiveness of the sufficient conditions is illustrated by three examples.

The key theorem and the bounds on the rate of uniform convergence of learning theory on Sugeno measure space

Some properties of Sugeno measure are further discussed, which is a kind of typical nonadditive measure. The definitions and properties of gλ random variable and its distribution function, expected value, and variance are then presented. Markov inequality, Chebyshev＇s inequality and the Khinchine＇s Law of Large Numbers on Sugeno measure space are also proven. Furthermore, the concepts of empirical risk functional, expected risk functional and the strict consistency of ERM principle on Sugeno measure space are proposed. According to these properties and concepts, the key theorem of learning theory, the bounds on the rate of convergence of learning process and the relations between these bounds and capacity of the set of functions on Sugeno measure space are given.

Bifurcations of Resonant Solutions and Chaos in Physical Pendulum Equation with Suspension Axis Vibrations

This paper is a continuation of ＂Complex Dynamics in Physical Pendulum Equation with Suspension Axis Vibrations＂[1].In this paper,we investigate the existence and the bifurcations of resonant solution for ω0：ω：Ω ≈ 1：1：n,1：2：n,1：3：n,2：1：n and 3：1：n by using second-order averaging method,give a criterion for the existence of resonant solution for ω0：ω：Ω ≈ 1：m：n by using Melnikov＇s method and verify the theoretical analysis by numerical simulations.By numerical simulation,we expose some other interesting dynamical behaviors including the entire invariant torus region,the cascade of invariant torus behaviors,the entire chaos region without periodic windows,chaotic region with complex periodic windows,the entire period-one orbits region;the jumping behaviors including invariant torus behaviors converting to period-one orbits,from chaos to invariant torus behaviors or from invariant torus behaviors to chaos,from period-one to chaos,from invariant torus behaviors to another invariant torus behaviors;the interior crisis;and the different nice invariant torus attractors and chaotic attractors.The numerical results show the difference of dynamical behaviors for the physical pendulum equation with suspension axis vibrations between the cases under the three frequencies resonant condition and under the periodic/quasi-periodic perturbations.It exhibits many invariant torus behaviors under the resonant conditions.We find a lot of chaotic behaviors which are different from those under the periodic/quasi-periodic perturbations.However,we did not find the cascades of period-doubling bifurcation.

Bifurcations of Periodic Solutions and Chaos in Josephson System with Parametric Excitation

Josephson system with parametric excitation is investigated. Using second-order averaging method and Melnikov function, we analyze the existence and bifurcations for harmonic,（2, 3, n-order） subharmonics and（2, 3-order） superharmonics and the heterocilinic and homoclinic bifurcations for chaos under periodic perturbation. Using numerical simulation, we check our theoretical analysis and further study the effect of the parameters on dynamics. We find the complex dynamics, including the jumping behaviors, symmetrybreaking, chaos converting to periodic orbits, interior crisis, non-attracting chaotic set, interlocking（reverse）period-doubling bifurcations from periodic orbits, the processes from interlocking period-doubling bifurcations of periodic orbits to chaos after strange non-chaotic motions when the parameter β increases, etc.

A degenerate parabolic system with localized sources and nonlocal boundary condition

This paper deals with the blow-up properties of the positive solutions to a degenerate parabolic system with localized sources and nonlocal boundary conditions. We investigate the influence of the reaction terms, the weight functions, local terms and localized source on the blow-up properties. We will show that the weight functions play the substantial roles in determining whether the solutions will blow-up or not, and obtain the blow-up conditions and its blow-up rate estimate.

Higher Order Triangular Mixed Finite Element Methods for Semilinear Quadratic Optimal Control Problems

In this paper,we investigate a priori error estimates for the quadratic optimal control problems governed by semilinear elliptic partial differential equations using higher order triangular mixed finite element methods.The state and the co-state are approximated by the order k Raviart-Thomas mixed finite element spaces and the control is approximated by piecewise polynomials of order k(k≥0).A priori error estimates for the mixed finite element approximation of semilinear control problems are obtained.Finally,we present some numerical examples which confirm our theoretical results.

Complex Dynamics in Physical Pendulum Equation with Suspension Axis Vibrations

The physical pendulum equation with suspension axis vibrations is investigated. By using Melnikov＇s method, we prove the conditions for the existence of chaos under periodic perturbations. By using second-order averaging method and Melinikov＇s method, we give the conditions for the existence of chaos in an averaged system under quasi-periodic perturbations for Ω = nω ＋ εv, n = 1 - 4, where ν is not rational to ω. We are not able to prove the existence of chaos for n = 5 - 15, but show the chaotic behavior for n = 5 by numerical simulation. By numerical simulation we check on our theoretical analysis and further exhibit the complex dynamical behavior, including the bifurcation and reverse bifurcation from period-one to period-two orbits; the onset of chaos, the entire chaotic region without periodic windows, chaotic regions with complex periodic windows or with complex quasi-periodic windows; chaotic behaviors suddenly disappearing, or converting to period-one orbit which means that the system can be stabilized to periodic motion by adjusting bifurcation parameters α, δ, f0 and Ω; and the onset of invariant torus or quasi-periodic behaviors, the entire invariant torus region or quasi-periodic region without periodic window, quasi-periodic behaviors or invariant torus behaviors suddenly disappearing or converting to periodic orbit; and the jumping behaviors which including from period- one orbit to anther period-one orbit, from quasi-periodic set to another quasi-periodic set; and the interleaving occurrence of chaotic behaviors and invariant torus behaviors or quasi-periodic behaviors; and the interior crisis; and the symmetry breaking of period-one orbit; and the different nice chaotic attractors. However, we haven＇t find the cascades of period-doubling bifurcations under the quasi-periodic perturbations and show the differences of dynamical behaviors and technics of research between the periodic perturbations and quasi-periodic perturbations.

A Periodic Dividend Problem with Inconstant Barrier in Markovian Environment

Periodic dividend problem is a meaningful issue. Based on a compound binomial model with periodic dividend, we use a homogeneous, ergodic and irreducible discrete-time Markov chain to express the evolution from one period to the subsequent of the economic or the environmental and climatic conditions. We derive some properties about the model. A system of integral equations for the expectation and the r-th moment of discounted dividends until ruin time are obtained respectively. Moreover, by using of Contraction Mapping Principle, we solve the equation system and obtain the explicit expression.

Adaptive Wavelet Solution to the Stokes Problem

This paper deals with the design and analysis of adaptive wavelet method for the Stokes problem. First, the limitation of Richardson iteration is explained and the multiplied matrix M0 in the paper of Bramble and Pasciak is proved to be the simplest possible in an appropiate sense. Similar to the divergence operator, an exact application of its dual is shown; Second, based on these above observations, an adaptive wavelet algorithm for the Stokes problem is designed. Error analysis and computational complexity are given; Finally, since our algorithm is mainly to deal with an elliptic and positive definite operator equation, the last section is devoted to the Galerkin solution of an elliptic and positive definite equation. It turns out that the upper bound for error estimation may be improved.
