Nonlocal Cauchy problems close to an asymptotically stable equilibrium point

Using Granas' continuation principle for contractive maps and the qualitative theory of differential equations in Banach spaces, under mild assumptions, we prove the existence of a unique solution. We also show that the main abstract result can be applied to nonlocal initial boundary value problems for reaction–diffusion equations with non-convex nonlinearities.

We achieve this goal gradually by showing at first that the lower semicontinuous set-valued functions of one real variable, which are locally generalized monotone on a dense subsets of their domain are globally generalized monotone. Then, these results are extended to the case of set-valued operators on arbitrary Banach spaces. We close this work with a section on the global generalized convexity of a real valued function, which is obtained out of its local counterpart on some dense sets.

In fact, for perturbations below a certain threshold, we provide an estimate for the difference between solutions of the exact and perturbed models, which scales linearly with the magnitude of the perturbation. This actually proves the conditional Ulam stability of the logistic equation.

For this setting, we propose a number of algorithms to estimate the number of nodes in the network, and the number of direct neighbors of each node. The algorithms are simulated, allowing comparison of their performance.

Research paper thumbnail of Nonlinear economic growth dynamics in the context of a military arms race

Under natural assumptions, we prove that global solutions exist and discuss their asymptotic long-time behavior. The results of our stability analysis support the recurring hypothesis in Cold War political science that engaging in an arms race with a technologically superior and hence faster growing adversary has damaging economic consequences. Numerical findings illustrate our claims.

We show that the generated sequences converge to a critical point of the objective function, if a regularization of the objective function satisfies the Kurdyka-Łojasiewicz property. Further, we provide convergence rates for the generated sequences and the objective function values formulated in terms of the Łojasiewicz exponent. Finally, some numerical experiments are presented in order to compare our numerical scheme with some algorithms well known in the literature.

Th... more The present work deals with the numerical long-time integration of damped Hamiltonian systems. The method that we analyze combines a specific Strang splitting, that separates linear dissipative effects from conservative ones, with an energy-preserving averaged vector field (AVF) integrator for the Hamiltonian subproblem. This construction faithfully reproduces the energydissipation structure of the continuous model, its equilibrium points and its natural Lyapunov function. As a consequence of these structural similarities, both the convergence to equilibrium and, more interestingly, the energy decay rate of the continuous dynamical system are recovered at a discrete level. The possibility of replacing the implicit AVF integrator by an explicit Störmer-Verlet one is also discussed, while numerical experiments illustrate and support the theoretical findings.

The conditions that we consider are imposed not on the whole domain, but rather on a self segment-dense subset of it, a special type of dense subset. As an application, we obtain a generalized Debreu-Gale-Nikaïdo-type theorem, with a considerably weakened Walras law in its hypothesis. Further, we consider a non-cooperative n-person game and prove the existence of a Nash equilibrium, under assumptions that are less restrictive than the classical ones.
