In this paper, the existence and non-existence of traveling wave solutions are established for a nonlocal dispersal SIR model equipped delay and generalized incidence. In addition, the existence and asymptotic behaviors of traveling waves under critical wave speed are also contained. Especially, the boundedness of traveling waves is obtained completely without imposing additional conditions on the nonlinear incidence.

In this paper, we consider the dissipative Degasperis-Procesi equation with arbitrary dispersion coefficient and compactly supported initial data. We establish the simple condition on the initial data which lead to guarantee that the solution exists globally. We also investigate the propagation speed for the equation under the initial data is compactly supported.

In this paper, the Cauchy problem of the \begin{document}$ 3 $\end{document}D compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate viscosities and far field vacuum is considered. We prove that the \begin{document}$ L^\infty $\end{document} norm of the deformation tensor \begin{document}$ D(u) $\end{document} (\begin{document}$ u $\end{document}: the velocity of fluids) and the \begin{document}$ L^6 $\end{document} norm of \begin{document}$ \nabla \log \rho $\end{document} (\begin{document}$ \rho $\end{document}: the mass density) control the possible blow-up of regular solutions. This conclusion means that if a solution with far field vacuum to the Cauchy problem of the compressible Navier-Stokes equations with degenerate viscosities is initially regular and loses its regularity at some later time, then the formation of singularity must be caused by losing the bound of \begin{document}$ D(u) $\end{document} or \begin{document}$ \nabla \log \rho $\end{document} as the critical time approaches; equivalently, if both \begin{document}$ D(u) $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ \nabla \log \rho $\end{document} remain bounded, a regular solution persists.

This paper is concerned with the initial boundary value problem for a shear thinning fluid-particle interaction non-Newtonian model with vacuum. The viscosity term of the fluid and the non-Newtonian gravitational force are fully nonlinear. Under Dirichlet boundary for velocity and the no-flux condition for density of particles, the existence and uniqueness of strong solutions is investigated in one dimensional bounded intervals.

This paper deals with the global existence and blow-up of solutions to a inhomogeneous pseudo-parabolic equation with initial value \begin{document}$ u_0 $\end{document} in the Sobolev space \begin{document}$ H_0^1( \Omega) $\end{document}, where \begin{document}$ \Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^n $\end{document} (\begin{document}$ n\geq1 $\end{document} is an integer) is a bounded domain. By using the mountain-pass level \begin{document}$ d $\end{document} (see (14)), the energy functional \begin{document}$ J $\end{document} (see (12)) and Nehari function \begin{document}$ I $\end{document} (see (13)), we decompose the space \begin{document}$ H_0^1( \Omega) $\end{document} into five parts, and in each part, we show the solutions exist globally or blow up in finite time. Furthermore, we study the decay rates for the global solutions and lifespan (i.e., the upper bound of blow-up time) of the blow-up solutions. Moreover, we give a blow-up result which does not depend on \begin{document}$ d $\end{document}. By using this theorem, we prove the solution can blow up at arbitrary energy level, i.e. for any \begin{document}$ M\in \mathbb{R} $\end{document}, there exists \begin{document}$ u_0\in H_0^1( \Omega) $\end{document} satisfying \begin{document}$ J(u_0) = M $\end{document} such that the corresponding solution blows up in finite time.

We study the initial boundary value problem of linear homogeneous wave equation with dynamic boundary condition. We aim to prove the finite time blow-up of the solution at critical energy level or high energy level with the nonlinear damping term on boundary in control systems.

In this paper we study the Mahler measures of reciprocal polynomials \begin{document}$ (x+1/x)(y+1/y)(z+1/z)+\sqrt{k} $\end{document} for \begin{document}$ k = 16 $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ k = -104\pm60\sqrt{3} $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ 4096 $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ k = -2024\pm765\sqrt{7} $\end{document}. We prove six conjectural identities proposed by Samart in [16].

Let \begin{document}$ A(t) $\end{document} be a continuous path of self-adjoint Fredholm operators, we derive a decomposition formula of spectral flow if the path is invariant under a matrix-like cogredient. As applications, we give the generalized Bott-type iteration formula for linear Hamiltonian systems.

We prove several conjectures made by Z.-W. Sun on the existence of permutations conditioned by certain rational functions. Furthermore, we fully characterize all integer values of the "inverse difference" rational function. Our proofs consist of both investigation of the mathematical properties of the rational functions and brute-force attack by computer for finding special permutations.

In this work we consider the three-dimensional Lie group denoted by \begin{document}$ \mathbb{H}^{2} \times \mathbb{R} $\end{document}, equipped with left-invariant Riemannian metric. The existence of non-trivial (i.e., not Einstein) Ricci solitons on three-dimensional Lie group \begin{document}$ \mathbb{H}^{2} \times \mathbb{R} $\end{document} is proved. Moreover, we show that there are not gradient Ricci solitons.

In this paper, we main consider the non-existence of solutions \begin{document}$ u $\end{document} by approximation to the following quasilinear elliptic problem with principal part having degenerate coercivity:

\begin{document}$ \begin{align*} \left \{ \begin{array}{rl} -\text{div}\left(\frac{|\nabla u|^{p-2}\nabla u}{(1+|u|)^{(p-1)\theta}}\right)+|u|^{q-1}u = \lambda, \; &x\in\Omega, \\ u = 0, \; &x\in\partial\Omega, \end{array} \right. \end{align*} $\end{document}

provided

\begin{document}$ \begin{align*} q>\frac{r(p-1)[1+\theta(p-1)]}{r-p}, \end{align*} $\end{document}

where \begin{document}$ \Omega $\end{document} is a bounded smooth subset of \begin{document}$ \mathbb{R}^N(N>2) $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ 1<p<N $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ q>1 $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ 0\leq\theta<1 $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ \lambda $\end{document} is a measure which is concentrated on a set with zero \begin{document}$ r $\end{document} capacity \begin{document}$ (p<r\leq N) $\end{document}.

This study is devoted to investigating the regularity criterion of the 3D MHD equations in terms of pressure in the framework of anisotropic Lebesgue spaces. The result shows that if a weak solution \begin{document}$ (u, b) $\end{document} satisfies

\begin{document}$ \begin{equation} \int_{0}^{T}{\frac{\left\Vert \left\Vert \partial _{3}\pi (\cdot , t)\right\Vert _{L_{x_{3}}^{\gamma }}\right\Vert _{L_{x_{1}x_{2}}^{\alpha }}^{q}}{1+\ln \left( e+\left\Vert \pi (\cdot , t)\right\Vert _{L^{2}}^{2}\right) }}\ dt<\infty , ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(1)\end{equation} $\end{document}

where

\begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} \frac{1}{\gamma }+\frac{2}{q}+\frac{2}{\alpha } = \lambda \in \lbrack 2, 3)\text{ and }\frac{3}{\lambda }\leq \gamma \leq \alpha <\frac{1}{\lambda -2}, \end{equation*} $\end{document}

then \begin{document}$ (u, b) $\end{document} is regular at \begin{document}$ t = T $\end{document}, which improve the previous results on the MHD equations

We consider the following nonlinear Schrödinger-Poisson system

\begin{document}$ \left\{\begin{array}{lll} -\Delta u+u+\lambda\phi(x) u = f(u)&\quad &x\in \mathbb{R}^3, \\ -\Delta \phi = u^2, \ \lim\limits_{|x|\to\infty} \phi(x) = 0&\quad &x\in \mathbb{R}^3, \end{array}\right. $\end{document}

where \begin{document}$ \lambda>0 $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ f $\end{document} is continuous. By combining delicate analysis and the method of invariant subsets of descending flow, we prove the existence and asymptotic behavior of infinitely many radial sign-changing solutions for odd \begin{document}$ f $\end{document}. The nonlinearity covers the case of pure power-type nonlinearity \begin{document}$ f(u) = |u|^{p-2}u $\end{document} with the less studied situation \begin{document}$ p\in(3, 4). $\end{document} This result extends and complements the ones in [Z. Liu, Z. Q. Wang, and J. Zhang, Ann. Mat. Pura Appl., 2016] from the coercive potential case to the constant potential case.

We consider the wave equation with a weak internal damping with non-constant delay and nonlinear weights given by

\begin{document}$ \begin{eqnarray*} \label{NLS} u_{tt}(x,t) - u_{xx}(x,t)+\mu_1(t)u_t(x,t) +\mu_2(t)u_t(x,t-\tau(t)) = 0 \end{eqnarray*} $\end{document}

in a bounded domain. Under proper conditions on nonlinear weights $ \mu_1(t), \mu_2(t) $ and non-constant delay $ \tau(t) $, we prove global existence and estimative the decay rate for the energy.

In this paper, we consider the initial boundary value problem for the fourth order wave equation with nonlinear boundary velocity feedbacks \begin{document}$ f_{1}(u_{\nu{t}}) $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ f_{2}(u_{t}) $\end{document} and internal source \begin{document}$ |u|^{\rho}u $\end{document}. Under some geometrical conditions, the existence and uniform decay rates of the solutions are proved even if the nonlinear boundary velocity feedbacks \begin{document}$ f_{1}(u_{\nu{t}}) $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ f_{2}(u_{t}) $\end{document} have not polynomial growth near the origin respectively. By the combination of the Galerkin approximation, potential well method and a special basis constructed, we first obtain the global existence and uniqueness of regular solutions and weak solutions. In addition, we also investigate the explicit decay rate estimates of the energy, the ideas of which are based on the construction of a special weight function \begin{document}$ \phi(t) $\end{document} (that depends on the behaviors of the functions \begin{document}$ f_{1}(u_{\nu{t}}) $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ f_{2}(u_{t}) $\end{document} near the origin), nonlinear integral inequality and the Multiplier method.

In this paper, we consider a plate equation with nonlinear damping and logarithmic source term. By the contraction mapping principle, we establish the local existence. The global existence and decay estimate of the solution at subcritical initial energy are obtained. We also prove that the solution with negative initial energy blows up in finite time under suitable conditions. Moreover, we also give the blow-up in finite time of solution at the arbitrarily high initial energy for linear damping (i.e. \begin{document}$ m = 2 $\end{document}).

In this paper, we prove the existence of positive solutions with prescribed \begin{document}$ L^{2} $\end{document}-norm to the following Choquard equation:

\begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} -\Delta u-\lambda u = (I_{\alpha}*F(u))f(u), \ \ \ \ x\in \mathbb{R}^3, \end{equation*} $\end{document}

where \begin{document}$ \lambda\in \mathbb{R}, \alpha\in (0,3) $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ I_{\alpha}: \mathbb{R}^3\rightarrow \mathbb{R} $\end{document} is the Riesz potential. Under the weaker conditions, by using a minimax procedure and some new analytical techniques, we show that for any \begin{document}$ c>0 $\end{document}, the above equation possesses at least a couple of weak solution \begin{document}$ (\bar{u}_c, \bar{ \lambda}_c)\in \mathcal{S}_{c}\times \mathbb{R}^- $\end{document} such that \begin{document}$ \|\bar{u}_c\|_{2}^{2} = c $\end{document}.

This paper is concerned with the initial-boundary value problem for a class of viscoelastic plate equations on an arbitrary dimensional bounded domain. Under certain assumptions on the memory kernel and the source term, the global well-posedness of solutions and the existence of global attractors are obtained.

In this paper, some criteria for weakly approximative compactness and approximative compactness of weak\begin{document}$ ^{*} $\end{document} hyperplane for Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces are given. Moreover, we also prove that, in Musielak-Orlicz-Bochner function spaces generated by strongly smooth Banach space, \begin{document}$ L_{M}^{0}(X) $\end{document} (resp \begin{document}$ L_{M}(X) $\end{document}) is an Asplund space if and only if \begin{document}$ M $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ N $\end{document} satisfy condition \begin{document}$ \Delta $\end{document}. As a corollary, we obtain that \begin{document}$ L_{M}^{0}(R) $\end{document} (resp \begin{document}$ L_{M}(R) $\end{document}) is an Asplund space if and only if \begin{document}$ M $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ N $\end{document} satisfy condition \begin{document}$ \Delta $\end{document}.

As a typical example of our analysis we consider a generalized Boussinesq equation, linearly damped and with a nonlinear source term. For any positive value of the initial energy, in particular for high energies, we give sufficient conditions on the initial data to conclude nonexistence of global solutions. We do our analysis in an abstract framework. We compare our results with those in the literature and we give more examples to illustrate the applicability of the abstract formulation.

For a class of semilinear parabolic equations under nonlinear dynamical boundary conditions in a bounded domain, we obtain finite time blow-up solutions when the initial data varies in the phase space \begin{document}$ H_0^1(\Omega) $\end{document} at positive initial energy level and get global solutions with the initial data at low and critical energy level. Our main tools are potential well method and concavity method.

This paper is concerned with the following Schrödinger-Poisson system

\begin{document}$ \begin{equation*} (P_\mu): -\Delta u +u + K(x)\phi u = |u|^{p-1}u + \mu h(x)u, \ -\Delta \phi = K(x) u^2, \ x\in\mathbb{R}^3, \end{equation*} $\end{document}

where \begin{document}$ p\in (3,5) $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ K(x) $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ h(x) $\end{document} are nonnegative functions, and \begin{document}$ \mu $\end{document} is a positive parameter. Let \begin{document}$ \mu_1 > 0 $\end{document} be an isolated first eigenvalue of the eigenvalue problem \begin{document}$ -\Delta u + u = \mu h(x)u $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ u\in H^1(\mathbb{R}^3) $\end{document}. As \begin{document}$ 0<\mu\leq\mu_1 $\end{document}, we prove that \begin{document}$ (P_{\mu}) $\end{document} has at least one nonnegative bound state with positive energy. As \begin{document}$ \mu > \mu_1 $\end{document}, there is \begin{document}$ \delta > 0 $\end{document} such that for any \begin{document}$ \mu\in (\mu_1, \mu_1 + \delta) $\end{document}, \begin{document}$ (P_\mu) $\end{document} has a nonnegative ground state \begin{document}$ u_{0,\mu} $\end{document} with negative energy, and \begin{document}$ u_{0,\mu^{(n)}}\to 0 $\end{document} in \begin{document}$ H^1(\mathbb{R}^3) $\end{document} as \begin{document}$ \mu^{(n)}\downarrow \mu_1 $\end{document}. Besides, \begin{document}$ (P_\mu) $\end{document} has another nonnegative bound state \begin{document}$ u_{2,\mu} $\end{document} with positive energy, and \begin{document}$ u_{2,\mu^{(n)}}\to u_{\mu_1} $\end{document} in \begin{document}$ H^1(\mathbb{R}^3) $\end{document} as \begin{document}$ \mu^{(n)}\downarrow \mu_1 $\end{document}, where \begin{document}$ u_{\mu_1} $\end{document} is a bound state of \begin{document}$ (P_{\mu_1}) $\end{document}.

Granular materials are heterogenous grains in contact, which are ubiquitous in many scientific and engineering applications such as chemical engineering, fluid mechanics, geomechanics, pharmaceutics, and so on. Granular materials pose a great challenge to predictability, due to the presence of critical phenomena and large fluctuation of local forces. In this paper, we consider the quasi-static simulation of the dense granular media, and investigate the performances of typical minimization algorithms such as conjugate gradient methods and quasi-Newton methods. Furthermore, we develop preconditioning techniques to enhance the performance. Those methods are validated with numerical experiments for typical physically interested scenarios such as the jamming transition, the scaling law behavior close to the jamming state, and shear deformation of over jammed states.

The aim of this article is to show that the multifractal Hausdorff and packing measures are mutually singular, which in particular provides an answer to Olsen's questions.

In this paper, we consider the fourth-order Moore-Gibson- Thompson equation with memory recently introduced by (Milan J. Math. 2017, 85: 215-234) that proposed the fourth-order model. We discuss the well-posedness of the solution by using Faedo-Galerkin method. On the other hand, for a class of relaxation functions satisfying \begin{document}$ g'(t)\leq-\xi(t)M(g(t)) $\end{document} for \begin{document}$ M $\end{document} to be increasing and convex function near the origin and \begin{document}$ \xi(t) $\end{document} to be a nonincreasing function, we establish the explicit and general energy decay result, from which we can improve the earlier related results.

In this paper, we construct the smash product from the digital viewpoint and prove some its properties such as associativity, distributivity, and commutativity. Moreover, we present the digital suspension and the digital cone for an arbitrary digital image and give some examples of these new concepts.

Motivated by some ordinary and extreme connectedness properties of topologies, we introduce several reasonable connectedness properties of relators (families of relations). Moreover, we establish some intimate connections among these properties.

More concretely, we investigate relationships among various minimalness (well-chainedness), connectedness, hyper- and ultra-connectedness, door, superset, submaximality and resolvability properties of relators.

Since most generalized topologies and all proper stacks (ascending systems) can be derived from preorder relators, the results obtained greatly extends some standard results on topologies. Moreover, they are also closely related to some former results on well-chained and connected uniformities.

In this paper, we prove the existence of best proximity point and coupled best proximity point on metric spaces with partial order for weak proximal contraction mappings such that these critical points satisfy some constraint inequalities.

The pentagonal numbers are the integers given by\begin{document}$ p_5(n) = n(3n-1)/2\ (n = 0,1,2,\ldots) $\end{document}.Let \begin{document}$ (b,c,d) $\end{document} be one of the triples \begin{document}$ (1,1,2),(1,2,3),(1,2,6) $\end{document} and \begin{document}$ (2,3,4) $\end{document}.We show that each \begin{document}$ n = 0,1,2,\ldots $\end{document} can be written as \begin{document}$ w+bx+cy+dz $\end{document} with \begin{document}$ w,x,y,z $\end{document} pentagonal numbers, which was first conjectured by Z.-W. Sun in 2016. In particular, any nonnegative integeris a sum of five pentagonal numbers two of which are equal; this refines a classical resultof Cauchy claimed by Fermat.
