The Tonelli existence theorem in the calculus of variations and its subsequent modifications were established for integrands f which satisfy convexity and growth conditions. In 1996, the author obtained a generic existence and uniqueness result (with respect to variations of the integrand of the integral functional) without the convexity condition for a class of optimal control problems satisfy...

‎We mainly discuss the existence of meromorphic (entire) solutions of‎ ‎certain type of non-linear difference equation of the form‎: ‎$f(z)^m+P(z)f(z+c)^n=Q(z)$‎, ‎which is a supplement of previous‎ ‎results in [K‎. ‎Liu‎, ‎L.

In this work, an initial value problem is discussed for a fractional differential equation of variable-order. By means of some analysis techniques and Arzela-Ascoli theorem, existence result of solution is obtained; Using the upper solutions and lower solutions and monotone iterative method, uniqueness existence results of solutions are obtained.

We show uniqueness results for the Dirichlet problem for YangMills connections defined in n-dimensional (n ≥ 4) star-shaped domains with flat boundary values. This result also shows the non-existence result for the Dirichlet problem in dimension 4, since in 4-dimension, there exist countably many connected components of connections with prescribed Dirichlet boundary value. We also show non-exis...

We have investigated the existence and uniqueness solutions of the nonlinear fractional differential equation of an arbitrary order with integral boundary condition. The result is an application of the Schauder fixed point theorem and the Banach contraction principle.

The problem of finding a diagonal similarity scaling to minimize the scaled singular value of a matrix arises frequently in robustness analysis of control systems. It is shown here that the set of optimal diagonal scalings is nonempty and bounded if and only if the matrix that is being scaled is irreducible. For an irreducible matrix, a sufficient condition is derived for the uniqueness of the ...

In this paper, we consider a class of time-dependent neutral stochastic evolution equations with the infinite delay and a fractional Brownian motion in a Hilbert space. We establish the existence and uniqueness of mild solutions for these equations under non-Lipschitz conditions with Lipschitz conditions being considered as a special case. An example is provided to illustrate the theory

This paper deals with the Periodic boundary value problems for Controlled nonlinear impulsive evolution equations. By using the theory of semigroup and fixed point methods, some conditions ensuring the existence and uniqueness. Finally, two examples are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed results.
