Welcome at the International Conference on Differential and Difference Equations
& Applications 2015.
The main aim of this conference is to promote, encourage, cooperate, and bring
together researchers in the fields of differential and difference equations. All areas

applications. It will be mathematically enriching and socially exciting event.

The five-day scientific program runs from May 18 (Monday) till May 22, 2015
(Friday). It consists of invited lectures (plenary lectures and invited lectures in
sections) and contributed talks in the following areas:
Ordinary differential equations,
Partial differential equations,
Numerical methods and applications, other topics
Nonlinear differential equations having non-sign-definite weights
In the present PhD thesis we deal with the study of the existence, multiplicity and complex behaviors of solutions for some classes of boundary value problems associated with second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations of the form or , where is a bounded interval, is continuous, and is a perturbation term characterizing the problems.
The results carried out in this dissertation are mainly based on dynamical and topological approaches.
The issues we address have arisen in the field of partial differential equations. For this reason, we do not treat only the case of ordinary differential equations, but also we take advantage of some results achieved in the one dimensional setting to give applications to nonlinear boundary value problems associated with partial differential equations.
In the first part of the thesis, we are interested on a problem suggested by Antonio Ambrosetti in ``Observations on global inversion theorems'' (2011). In more detail, we deal with a periodic boundary value problem associated with the first differential equation where the perturbation term is given by . We assume that and is a continuous function satisfying . In this context, if the weight term is such that for a.e. and , we generalize the result of multiplicity of solutions given by Fabry, Mawhin and Nakashama in ``A multiplicity result for periodic solutions of forced nonlinear second order ordinary differential equations'' (1986). We extend this kind of improvement also to more general nonlinear terms under local coercivity conditions.
In this framework, we also treat in the same spirit Neumann problems associated with second order ordinary differential equations and periodic problems associated with first order ones.
Furthermore, we face the classical case of a periodic Ambrosetti-Prodi problem with a weight term which is constant and positive. Here, considering in the second differential equation a nonlinearity , we provide several conditions on the nonlinearity and the perturbative term that ensure the presence of complex behaviors for the solutions of the associated -periodic problem. We also compare these outcomes with the result of stability carried out by Ortega in ``Stability of a periodic problem of Ambrosetti-Prodi type'' (1990). The case with damping term is discussed as well.
In the second part of this work, we solve a conjecture by Yuan Lou and Thomas Nagylaki stated in ``A semilinear parabolic system for migration and selection in population genetics'' (2002). The problem refers to the number of positive solutions for Neumann boundary value problems associated with the second differential equation when the perturbation term is given by with , a sign-changing weight term such that and a non-concave continuous function satisfying and such that the map is monotone decreasing.
In addition to this outcome, other new results of multiplicity of positive solutions are presented as well, for both Neumann or Dirichlet boundary value problems, by means of a particular choice of indefinite weight terms and different positive nonlinear terms defined on the interval or on the positive real semi-axis

Existence and Multiplicity of Solutions of Functional Differential Equations
The first part of the memory goes through those discoveries related to Green’s functions.
In order to do that, first we recall some general results concerning involutions which will help
us understand their remarkable analytic and algebraic properties. Chapter 1 will deal about
this subject while Chapter 2 will give a brief overview on differential equations with involutions
to set the reader in the appropriate research framework.
In Chapter 3 we start working on the theory of Green’s functions for functional differential
equations with involutions in the most simple cases: order one problems with constant coefficients
and reflection. Here we solve the problem with different boundary conditions, studying
the specific characteristics which appear when considering periodic, anti-periodic, initial or arbitrary
linear boundary conditions. We also apply some very well known techniques (lower
and upper solutions method or Krasnosel’skiĭ’s Fixed Point Theorem, for instance) in order to
further derive results.
Computing explicitly the Green’s function for a problem with nonconstant coefficients is
not simple, not even in the case of ordinary differential equations. We face these obstacles in
Chapter 4, where we reduce a new, more general problem containing nonconstant coefficients
and arbitrary differentiable involutions, to the one studied in Chapter 3.
To end this part of the work, we have Chapter 5, in which we deepen in the algebraic nature
of reflections and extrapolate these properties to other algebras. In this way, we do not
only generalize the results of Chapter 3 to the case of -th order problems and general twopoint
boundary conditions, but also solve functional differential problems in which the Hilbert
transform or other adequate operators are involved.
The last chapters of this part are about applying the results we have proved so far to some
related problems. First, in Chapter 6, setting again the spotlight on some interesting relation
between an equation with reflection and an equation with a -Laplacian, we obtain some results
concerning the periodicity of solutions of that first problem with reflection. Chapter 7
moves to a more practical setting. It is of the greatest interest to have adequate computer
programs in order to derive the Green’s functions obtained in Chapter 5 for, in general, the
computations involved are very convoluted. Being so, we present in this chapter such an algorithm,
implemented in Mathematica. The reader can find in the appendix the exact code of
the program.
In the second part of the Thesis we use the fixed point index to solve four different kinds
of problems increasing in complexity: a problem with reflection, a problem with deviated arguments
(applied to a thermostat model), a problem with nonlinear Neumann boundary conditions
and a problem with functional nonlinearities in both the equation and the boundary
conditions.
As we will see, the particularities of each problem make it impossible to take a common
approach to all of the problems studied. Still, there will be important similarities in the different
cases which will lead to comparable results
Generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature and applications
A simple numerical method for constructing the optimal generalized averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas will be presented. These formulas exist in many cases in which real positive GaussKronrod formulas do not exist, and can be used as an adequate alternative in order to estimate the error of a Gaussian rule. We also investigate the conditions under which the optimal averaged Gaussian quadrature formulas and their truncated variants are internal
