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.

Optimal Error Bounds for the Derivatives of Two-Point Mixed Interpolation

Eigenvalues of a general class of boundary value problem with derivative-dependent nonlinearity

We consider a higher order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem (BVP) where the nonlinear term involves derivatives – such cases are seldom investigated in the literature due to the complexity introduced by the derivatives. A new technique is used to obtain existence criteria for at least one positive solution of the BVP. We demonstrate the usefulness of the results obtained by an example with known positive solutions.We consider a higher order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem (BVP) where the nonlinear term involves derivatives – such cases are seldom investigated in the literature due to the complexity introduced by the derivatives.

Existence of solutions of higher order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems

We consider the following system of difference equations where T ≥ N>0. By using fixed point theorems and fixed point index theory, criteria are developed to guarantee the existence of single, double and multiple solutions of the system that are of constant signs, i.e. for each 1 ≤ i ≤ n, u i (k) ≥ 0 or u i (k) ≤ 0 for k ∈ {0,1,…,T}. We also consider the eigenvalue problem and establish criteria for the existence of a constant-sign solution when λ is in some interval.

Constant-sign solutions of a system of difference equations of Urysohn type

Here, we shall investigate the oscillatory behavior of solutions of second order nonlinear neutral delay difference equations of the type 

$$\Delta \left( {p\left( k \right)\Delta \left( {y\left( k \right) + h\left( k \right)y\left( {k - \tau } \right)} \right)} \right) + q\left( {k + 1} \right)f\left( {y\left( {k + 1 - \sigma } \right)} \right) = 0,\;k \in N$$

(20.1)

where τ, σ are fixed non-negative integers, functions p, h, q are defined on N, p(k) > 0 for all k ∈ N and q(k) is not identically zero for large k, and the continuous function f : ℝ → ℝ satisfies (12.2), (12.3).
