In this paper, we study the following nonlinear first order partial differential equation: \[f(t,x,u,\partial_t u,\partial_x u)=0\quad\text{with}\quad u(0,x)\equiv 0.\] The purpose of this paper is to determine the estimate of Gevrey order under the condition that the equation is singular of a totally characteristic type. The Gevrey order is indicated by the rate of divergence of a formal power series. This paper is a continuation of the previous papers [Convergence of formal solutions of singular first order nonlinear partial differential equations of totally characteristic type, Funkcial. Ekvac. 45 (2002), 187-208] and [Maillet type theorem for singular first order nonlinear partial differential equations of totally characteristic type, Surikaiseki Kenkyujo Kokyuroku, Kyoto University 1431 (2005), 94-106]. Especially the last-mentioned paper is regarded as part I of this paper.

This note is concerned with the oscillation of third order nonlinear delay differential equations of the form \[\label{*} \left( r_{2}(t)\left( r_{1}(t)y^{\prime}(t)\right)^{\prime}\right)^{\prime}+p(t)y^{\prime}(t)+q(t)f(y(g(t)))=0.\tag{\(\ast\)}\] In the papers [A. Tiryaki, M. F. Aktas, Oscillation criteria of a certain class of third order nonlinear delay differential equations with damping, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 325 (2007), 54-68] and [M. F. Aktas, A. Tiryaki, A. Zafer, Oscillation criteria for third order nonlinear functional differential equations, Applied Math. Letters 23 (2010), 756-762], the authors established some sufficient conditions which insure that any solution of equation (\(\ast\)) oscillates or converges to zero, provided that the second order equation \[\left( r_{2}(t)z^{\prime }(t)\right)^{\prime}+\left(p(t)/r_{1}(t)\right) z(t)=0\tag{\(\ast\ast\)}\] is nonoscillatory. Here, we shall improve and unify the results given in the above mentioned papers and present some new sufficient conditions which insure that any solution of equation (\(\ast\)) oscillates if equation (\(\ast\ast\)) is nonoscillatory. We also establish results for the oscillation of equation (\(\ast\)) when equation (\(\ast\ast\)) is oscillatory.

In this paper we consider the semilinear wave equation with the multiplication of logarithmic and polynomial nonlinearities. We establish the global existence and finite time blow up of solutions at three different energy levels (\(E(0)\lt d\), \(E(0)=d\) and \(E(0)\gt 0\)) using potential well method. The results in this article shed some light on using potential wells to classify the solutions of the semilinear wave equation with the product of polynomial and logarithmic nonlinearity.

In this paper, we study semicircular elements and circular elements in a certain Banach \(*\)-probability space \((\mathfrak{LS},\tau ^{0})\) induced by analysis on the \(p\)-adic number fields \(\mathbb{Q}_{p}\) over primes \(p\). In particular, by truncating the set \(\mathcal{P}\) of all primes for given suitable real numbers \(t\lt s\) in \(\mathbb{R}\), two different types of truncated linear functionals \(\tau_{t_{1}\lt t_{2}}\), and \(\tau_{t_{1}\lt t_{2}}^{+}\) are constructed on the Banach \(*\)-algebra \(\mathfrak{LS}\). We show how original free distributional data (with respect to \(\tau ^{0}\)) are distorted by the truncations on \(\mathcal{P}\) (with respect to \(\tau_{t\lt s}\), and \(\tau_{t\lt s}^{+}\)). As application, distorted free distributions of the semicircular law, and those of the circular law are characterized up to truncation.

Global well-posedness and finite time blow up issues for some strongly damped nonlinear wave equation are investigated in the present paper. For subcritical initial energy by employing the concavity method we show a finite time blow up result of the solution. And for critical initial energy we present the global existence, asymptotic behavior and finite time blow up of the solution in the framework of the potential well. Further for supercritical initial energy we give a sufficient condition on the initial data such that the solution blows up in finite time.

In this paper, sufficient conditions for oscillation of the second order differential equations with several sublinear neutral terms are established. The results obtained generalize and extend those reported in the literature. Several examples are included to illustrate the importance and novelty of the presented results.

We study the existence and uniqueness of the backward stochastic variational inequalities driven by \(m\)-dimensional fractional Brownian motion with Hurst parameters \(H_k\) (\(k=1,\ldots m\)) greater than \(1/2\). The stochastic integral used throughout the paper is the divergence type integral.

In this paper we prove the stability of the zero equilibria of two systems of difference equations of exponential type, which are some extensions of an one-dimensional biological model. The stability of these systems is investigated in the special case when one of the eigenvalues is equal to -1 and the other eigenvalue has absolute value less than 1, using centre manifold theory. In addition, we study the existence and uniqueness of positive equilibria, the attractivity and the global asymptotic stability of these equilibria of some related systems of difference equations.

The paper deals with investigating of the first mixed problem for a fifth-order nonlinear evolutional equation which generalizes well known equation of the vibrations theory. We obtain sufficient conditions of nonexistence of a global solution in time variable.

In this paper, we investigate the existence of three generalized solutions for fourth-order Kirchhoff-type problems with a perturbed nonlinear term depending on two real parameters. Our approach is based on variational methods.

In this paper, we study a linear-quadratic optimal control problem with a fractional control system containing a Caputo derivative of unknown function. First, we derive the formulas for the differential and gradient of the cost functional under given constraints. Next, we prove an existence result and derive a maximum principle. Finally, we describe the gradient and projection of the gradient methods for the problem under consideration.

In this paper, different sufficient conditions for exact controllability of semilinear systems with a single constant point delay in control are established in infinite dimensional space. The existence and uniqueness of mild solution is also proved under suitable assumptions. In particular, local Lipschitz continuity of a nonlinear function is used. To illustrate the developed theory some examples are given.

In this paper we study the Borel summability of formal solutions with a parameter of first order semilinear system of partial differential equations with \(n\) independent variables. In [Singular perturbation of linear systems with a regular singularity, J. Dynam. Control. Syst. 8 (2002), 313-322], Balser and Kostov proved the Borel summability of formal solutions with respect to a singular perturbation parameter for a linear equation with one independent variable. We shall extend their results to a semilinear system of equations with general independent variables.

This paper is concerned with positive solutions of the semilinear polyharmonic equation \((-\Delta)^{m} u = a(x){u}^{\alpha}\) on \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\), where \(m\) and \(n\) are positive integers with \(n\gt 2m\), \(\alpha\in (-1,1)\). The coefficient \(a\) is assumed to satisfy \[a(x)\approx{(1+|x|)}^{-\lambda}L(1+|x|)\quad \text{for}\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{n},\] where \(\lambda\in [2m,\infty)\) and \(L\in C^{1}([1,\infty))\) is positive with \(\frac{tL'(t)}{L(t)}\longrightarrow 0\) as \(t\longrightarrow \infty\); if \(\lambda=2m\), one also assumes that \(\int_{1}^{\infty}t^{-1}L(t)dt\lt \infty\). We prove the existence of a positive solution \(u\) such that \[u(x)\approx{(1+|x|)}^{-\widetilde{\lambda}}\widetilde{L}(1+|x|) \quad\text{for}\quad x\in \mathbb{R}^{n},\] with \(\widetilde{\lambda}:=\min(n-2m,\frac{\lambda-2m}{1-\alpha})\) and a function \(\widetilde{L}\), given explicitly in terms of \(L\) and satisfying the same condition at infinity. (Given positive functions \(f\) and \(g\) on \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\), \(f\approx g\) means that \(c^{-1}g\leq f\leq cg\) for some constant \(c\gt 1\).)

In this paper, we establish existence and asymptotic behavior of a positive classical solution to the following semilinear boundary value problem: \[-\Delta u=q(x)u^{\sigma }\;\text{in}\;\Omega,\quad u_{|\partial\Omega}=0.\] Here \(\Omega\) is an annulus in \(\mathbb{R}^{n}\), \(n\geq 3\), \(\sigma \lt 1\) and \(q\) is a positive function in \(\mathcal{C}_{loc}^{\gamma }(\Omega )\), \(0\lt\gamma \lt 1\), satisfying some appropriate assumptions related to Karamata regular variation theory. Our arguments combine a method of sub- and supersolutions with Karamata regular variation theory.
