In this paper, the following third-order nonlinear delay differential equation with periodic coefficients x′′′(t) + p(t)x′′(t) + q(t)x′(t) + r(t)x(t) = f (t, x (t) , x(t− τ(t))) + d dt g (t, x (t− τ (t))) , is considered. By employing Green’s function, Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem and the contraction mapping principle, we state and prove the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions...

Shunting inhibitory cellular neural networks are studied. Some sufficient criteria are obtained for the existence and uniqueness of pseudo almost-periodic solution of this system. Our results improve and generalize those of the previous studies. This is the first paper considering the pseudo almost-periodic SICNNs. Furthermore, several methods are applied to establish sufficient criteria for th...

Let T be a periodic time scale. We use Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem to show that the neutral functional differential equation with impulses x(t) = −A(t)x(t) + g(t, x(t− h(t))) + f(t, x(t), x(t− h(t))), t 6= tj , t ∈ T, x(t+j ) = x(t − j ) + Ij(x(tj)), j ∈ Z + has a periodic solution. Under a slightly more stringent conditions we show that the periodic solution is unique using the contrac...

China Abstract In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a fractional boundary value problem involving the p-Laplacian operator. Our analysis relies on some properties of the Green function and the Guo-Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem and the Ban...

In this paper, by using the contraction mapping principle and constructing a suitable Lyapunov functional, we established a set of easily applicable criteria for the existence, uniqueness and global attractivity of positive periodic solution and positive almost periodic solution of a neutral multi-species Logarithmic population model with multiple delays and impulses. The results improve and ge...

We prove local-in-time existence of a unique mild solution for the tornado-hurricane equations in a Hilbert space setting. The wellposedness is shown simultaneously in a halfspace, a layer, and a cylinder and for various types of boundary conditions which admit discontinuities at the edges of the cylinder. By an approach based on symmetric forms we first prove maximal regularity for a linearize...

Here we prove a probabilistic contraction mapping principle in Menger spaces. This is in line with research in fixed point theory using control functions which was initiated by Khan et al. [Bull. Austral. Math. Soc., 30(1984), 1-9] in metric spaces and extended by Choudhury et al. [Acta Mathematica Sinica, 24(8) (2008), 1379-1386] in probabilistic metric spaces. An example has also been constru...

This paper considers the existence, uniqueness and non-existence of solution for a quasi-linear fractional boundary value problems with sign-changing Green’s function. Under certain growth conditions on the nonlinear term, we employ the Leray-Schauder alternative fixed point theorem to obtain an existence result of nontrivial solution and use the Banach contraction mapping principle to obtain a...

In this paper we study the existence of mild solutions for a class of first-order delay integrodifferential equations with nonlocal condition in a Banach space. The results are established by the application of the theory of resolvent operators, the contraction mapping principle and the Schaefer theorem. An example is presented in the end to show the applications of the obtained results. Mathem...
