A survey on stationary problems, Green's functions and spectrum of Sturm–Liouville problem with nonlocal boundary conditions

In this paper, we present a survey of recent results on the Green's functions and on spectrum for stationary problems with nonlocal boundary conditions. Results of Lithuanian mathematicians in the field of differential and numerical problems with nonlocal boundary conditions are described. *The research was partially supported by the Research Council of Lithuania (grant No. MIP-047/2014)

Positive solutions of higher order fractional integral boundary value problem with a parameter

In this paper, we study a higher-order fractional differential equation with integral boundary conditions and a parameter. Under different conditions of nonlinearity, existence and nonexistence results for positive solutions are derived in terms of different intervals of parameter. Our approach relies on the Guo–Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem on cones

Time Integration Methods of Fundamental Solutions and Approximate Fundamental Solutions for Nonlinear Elliptic Partial Differential Equations

A time-dependent method is coupled with the Method of Approximate Particular Solutions (MAPS) of Delta-shaped basis functions, the Method of Fundamental Solutions (MFS), and the Method of Approximate Fundamental Solutions (MAFS) to solve a second order nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation (PDE) on regular and irregular shaped domains. The nonlinear PDE boundary value problem is first transformed into a time-dependent quasilinear problem by introducing a fictitious time. Forward Euler integration is then used to ultimately convert the problem into a sequence of time-dependent linear nonhomogeneous modified Helmholtz boundary value problems on which the superposition principle is applied to split the numerical solution at each time step into a homogeneous solution and an approximate particular solution. The Crank-Nicholson method is also examined as an option for the numerical integration as opposed to the forward Euler method. A Delta-shaped basis function, which can handle scattered data in various domains, is used to provide an approximation of the source function at each time step and allows for a derivation of an approximate particular solution of the associated nonhomogeneous equation using the MAPS. The corresponding homogeneous boundary value problem is solved using MFS or MAFS. Numerical results support the accuracy and validity of these computational methods. The proposed numerical methods are additionally applied in nonlinear thermal explosion to determine the steady state critical condition in explosive regimes

Nonlinear Differential Equations on Bounded and Unbounded Domains

Differential equations represent one of the strongest connections between Mathematics and real life. This is due to the fact that almost all the physical phenomena, as well as many other in economy, biology or chemistry, are modelled by differential equations. This Thesis includes a detailed study of nonlinear differential equations, both on bounded and unbounded domains. In particular, we analyze the qualitative properties of the solutions of nonlinear differential equations, focusing on the study of constant sign solutions on the whole domain of definition or, at least, on some subset of it. The main technique is based on the construction of an abstract formulation included into functional analysis, in which the solutions of the differential equations coincide with the fixed points of certain operators
