Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Boundary-value problems form a very important chapter of the theory of differential equations. It is commonly known that they occur in modelling of various phenomena in applied sciences. On the other hand, results and techniques arising in boundary-value problems are of much theoretical interest due to their close relation to other areas (e.g., the connection between the sign-constancy of Green's operator and oscillatory properties of the equation).

This Special Issue is devoted to nonlinear boundary-value problems in a broad sense, and will cover results on ordinary and functional differential equations, with a special emphasis on new and original
methods for the analysis of various boundary-value problems, including those specific to equations with argument deviations. Topics include but are not limited to solvability analysis; the approximate
construction of solutions; and the existence of positive solutions for problems with periodic, antiperiodic, multipoint, and other types of boundary conditions.

We hope that contributions to this Issue will be of interest to many researchers working in boundary-value problems and functional differential equations, and will stimulate further progress in the field.

We establish the existence of a unique solution via Banach’s fixed point theorem, while by applying Leray–Schauder’s nonlinear alternative, we prove an existence result.

In this paper, a fluid model is presented which contains the general linear equation of state including the gravitation term. The obtained spherical symmetric Euler equation and the continuity equations were investigated with the Sedov-type time-dependent self-similar ansatz which is capable of describing physically relevant diffusive and disperse solutions. The result of the space and time-dependent fluid density and radial velocity fields are presented and analyzed. Additionally, the role of the initial velocity on the kinetic and total energy densities of the fluid is discussed. This leads to a model, which can be considered as a simple model for a dark-fluid.

We investigate a hydrodynamic equation system which—with some approximation—is capable of describing the tsunami propagation in the open ocean with the time-dependent self-similar Ansatz. We found analytic solutions of how the wave height and velocity behave in time and space for constant and linear seabed functions. First, we study waves on open water, where the seabed can be considered relatively constant, sufficiently far from the shore. We found original shape functions for the ocean waves. In the second part of the study, we also consider a seabed which is oblique. Most of the solutions can be expressed with special functions. Finally, we apply the most common traveling wave Ansatz and present relative simple, although instructive solutions as well. Full article

In this paper, we propose an approach to inverse spectral problems for the n-th order (n2) ordinary differential operators with distribution coefficients. The inverse problems which consist in the reconstruction of the differential expression coefficients by the Weyl matrix and by several spectra are studied. We prove the uniqueness of solution for these inverse problems, by developing the method of spectral mappings. The results of this paper generalize the previously known results for the second-order differential operators with singular potentials and for the higher-order differential operators with regular coefficients. In the future, the approach of this paper can be used for constructive solution and for investigation of solvability of the considered inverse problems. Full article

We investigate a generalization of the equation curlw=g to an arbitrary number n of dimensions, which is based on the well-known Moisil–Teodorescu differential operator. Explicit solutions are derived for a particular problem in bounded domains of Rn using classical operators from Clifford analysis. In the physically significant case n=3, two explicit solutions to the div-curl system in exterior domains of R3 are obtained following different constructions of hyper-conjugate harmonic pairs. One of the constructions hinges on the use of a radial integral operator introduced recently in the literature. An exterior Neumann boundary-value problem is considered for the div-curl system. That system is conveniently reduced to a Neumann boundary-value problem for the Laplace equation in exterior domains. Some results on its uniqueness and regularity are derived. Finally, some applications to the construction of solutions of the inhomogeneous Lamé–Navier equation in bounded and unbounded domains are discussed. Full article

The present study provides the heat transfer analysis of a viscous fluid in the presence of bioconvection with a Caputo fractional derivative. The unsteady governing equations are solved by Laplace after using a dimensional analysis approach subject to the given constraints on the boundary. The impact of physical parameters can be seen through a graphical illustration. It is observed that the maximum decline in bioconvection and velocity can be attained for smaller values of the fractional parameter. The fractional approach can be very helpful in controlling the boundary layers of the fluid properties for different values of time. Additionally, it is observed that the model obtained with generalized constitutive laws predicts better memory than the model obtained with artificial replacement. Further, these results are compared with the existing literature to verify the validity of the present results. Full article

In this work, the existence and nonexistence of stationary radial solutions to the elliptic partial differential equation arising in the molecular beam epitaxy are studied. Since we are interested in radial solutions, we focus on the fourth-order singular ordinary differential equation. It is non-self adjoint, it does not have exact solutions, and it admits multiple solutions. Here, λR measures the intensity of the flux and G is stationary flux. The solution depends on the size of the parameter λ. We use a monotone iterative technique and integral equations along with upper and lower solutions to prove that solutions exist. We establish the qualitative properties of the solutions and provide bounds for the values of the parameter λ, which help us to separate existence from nonexistence. These results complement some existing results in the literature. To verify the analytical results, we also propose a new computational iterative technique and use it to verify the bounds on λ and the dependence of solutions for these computed bounds on λ.

In the present research, we study boundary value problems for fractional integro-differential equations and inclusions involving the Hilfer fractional derivative. Existence and uniqueness results are obtained by using the classical fixed point theorems of Banach, Krasnosel’skiĭ, and Leray–Schauder in the single-valued case, while Martelli’s fixed point theorem, a nonlinear alternative for multivalued maps, and the Covitz–Nadler fixed point theorem are used in the inclusion case. Examples are presented to illustrate our results. Full article
