Dynamic Equations on Time Scales: An Introduction with Applications

Formally we have arrived at the middle of the book. So you may need a pause for recovering, a pause which we want to fill up by some fixed point theorems supplementing those which you already met or which you will meet in later chapters. The first group of results centres around Banach’s fixed point theorem. The latter is certainly a nice result since it contains only one simple condition on the map F, since it is so easy to prove and since it nevertheless allows a variety of applications. Therefore it is not astonishing that many mathematicians have been attracted by the question to which extent the conditions on F and the space Ω can be changed so that one still gets the existence of a unique or of at least one fixed point. The number of results produced this way is still finite, but of a statistical magnitude, suggesting at a first glance that only a random sample can be covered by a chapter or even a book of the present size. Fortunately (or unfortunately?) most of the modifications have not found applications up to now, so that there is no reason to write a cookery book about conditions but to write at least a short outline of some ideas indicating that this field can be as interesting as other chapters. A systematic account of more recent ideas and examples in fixed point theory should however be written by one of the true experts. Strange as it is, such a book does not seem to exist though so many people are puzzling out so many results.

Constant-Sign Solutions of a System of Integral Equations with Integrable Singularities

Although polynomials have several attractive features, polynomial interpolation of a given function often has the drawback of producing approximations that may be wildly oscillatory. To overcome this difficulty we divide the interval of interest into small subintervals and in each subinterval consider polynomials of relatively low degree and finally ‘piece together’ these polynomials. This subject has steadily developed over the past fifty years, and at present there are thousands of research papers on piecewise — polynomial interpolation and their applications. The plan of this chapter is as follows: In Section5.2 we collect some results from analysis which will be used repeatedly throughout the remaining monograph. In Section5.3 we shall follow the general treatment of Birkhoff, Ciarlet, Schultz and Varga [8,10,11] to provide an explicit representation of piecewise - Hermite interpolates. This representation is then used to obtain error bounds for the derivatives of piecewise — Hermite interpolates in L ∞ and L 2 — norms. These bounds improve on those given by Schultz [21], and extend to cases not considered by him. Section5.4 contains an explicit representation of piecewise — Lidstone interpolates and the error bounds for its derivatives in L ∞, and L 2 — norms. Results of Sections5.3 and 5.4 are extended to two variables in Sections5.5 and 5.6, respectively.

Multiple positive solutions for discrete nonlocal boundary value problems

We consider the boundary value problem = AF(t,y,y...... (n > 2, t E (0,1)) (0 0 and 1 < p < n-i are fixed. The values of .\\ are characterized so that the boundary value problem has a positive solution. We also establish explicit intervals of A. Examples are included to dwell upon the importance of the results obtained.

On Two-Point Right Focal Eigenvalue Problems

For the half-linear difference equation 
Δ[|Δy(k)|α−1Δy(k)]=∑i=1npi(k)|y(gi(k))|α−1y(gi(k)),k≥a
where α > 0, we shall offer sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all solutions, as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of both bounded and unbounded nonoscillatory solutions. Several examples which dwell upon the importance of our results are also included.
