New gaps between zeros of fourth-order differential equations via Opial inequalities
In this paper, for a fourth-order differential equation, we will establish some lower bounds for the distance between zeros of a nontrivial solution and also lower bounds for the distance between zeros of a solution and/or its derivatives. We also give some new results related to some boundary value problems in the theory of bending of beams. The main results will be proved by making use of some generalizations of Opial and Wirtinger-type inequalities. Some examples are considered to illustrate the main results
Existence and continuous dependence of mild solutions for fractional neutral abstract evolution equations
Eigenvalues of higher order Sturm-Liouville boundary value problems with derivatives in nonlinear terms
We shall consider the Sturm-Liouville boundary value problem y(m)(t)+λF(t,y(t),y′(t),…,y(q)(t))=0, t∈(0,1), y(k)(0)=0, 0≤k≤m−3, ζy(m−2)(0)−θy(m−1)(0)=0, ρy(m−2)(1)+δy(m−1)(1)=0 where m≥3, 1≤q≤m−2, and λ>0. It is noted that the boundary value problem considered has a derivative-dependent nonlinear term, which makes the investigation much more challenging. In this paper we shall develop a new technique to characterize the eigenvalues λ so that the boundary value problem has a positive solution. Explicit eigenvalue intervals are also established. Some examples are included to dwell upon the usefulness of the results obtained.Published versio

Lebesgue regularity for differential difference equations with fractional damping
We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence and unique-ness of solutions belonging to the vector-valued space of sequences �(Z, X) forequations that can be modeled in the formΔu(n)+Δu(n)=Au(n)+G(u)(n)+ (n), n ∈ Z,,>0,≥0,where X is a Banach space, ∈ �(Z, X), A is a closed linear operatorwith domain D(A) defined on X,andG is a nonlinear function. The oper-ator Δdenotes the fractional difference operator of order >0inthesense of Grünwald-Letnikov. Our class of models includes the discrete timeKlein-Gordon, telegraph, and Basset equations, among other differential differ-ence equations of interest. We prove a simple criterion that shows the existenceof solutions assuming that f is small and that G is a nonlinear term
