- Bound Sets Approach to Impulsive Floquet Problems for Vector Second-Order Differential Inclusions
[Articolo su rivista]
Pavlackova, M.; Taddei, V.
abstract
In this paper, the existence and the localization of a solution of an impulsive vector multivalued second-order Floquet boundary value problem are investigated. The method used in the paper is based on the combination of a fixed point index technique with bound sets approach. At first, problems with upper-Carathéodory right-hand sides are investigated and it is shown afterwards how can the conditions be simplified in more regular case of upper semi-continuous right hand side. In this more regular case, the conditions ensuring the existence and the localization of a solution are put directly on the boundary of the considered bound set. This strict localization of the sufficient conditions is very significant since it allows some solutions to escape from the set of candidate solutions. In both cases, the C1-bounding functions with locally Lipschitzian gradients are considered at first and it is shown afterwards how the conditions change in case of C2-bounding functions. The paper concludes with an application of obtained results to Liénard-type equations and inclusions and the comparisons of our conclusions with the few results related to impulsive periodic and antiperiodic Liénard equations are obtained.

- Nonlocal Semilinear second-order inclusions in abstract spaces without compactness
[Articolo su rivista]
Pavlackovà, Martina; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
We study the existence of a mild solution to the nonlocal initial
value problem for semilinear second-order differential inclusions in abstract
spaces. The result is obtained by combining the Kakutani fixed point theorem
with the approximation solvability method and the weak topology. This combination
enables getting the result without any requirements for compactness
of the right-hand side or of the cosine family generated by the linear operator.

- The damped vibrating string equation on the positive half-line
[Articolo su rivista]
Pavlackova, M.; Taddei, V.
abstract
In this paper, the existence of a solution to the problem describing the small vertical vibration of an elastic string on the positive half-line is investigated in the case when both viscous and material damping coefficients are present. The result is obtained by transforming the original partial differential equation into an appropriate abstract second-order ordinary differential equation in a suitable infinite dimensional space. The abstract problem is then studied using the combination of the Kakutani fixed point theorem together with the approximation solvability method and the weak topology. The applied procedure enables obtaining the existence result also for problems depending on the first derivative, without any strict compactness assumptions put on the right-hand side and on the fundamental system generated by the linear term. The paper ends by applying the obtained result to the studied mathematical model describing the small vertical vibration of an elastic string with a nonlinear Balakrishnan–Taylor-type damping term.

- Lp-exact controllability of partial differential equations with nonlocal terms
[Articolo su rivista]
Malaguti, Luisa; Perrotta, Stefania; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
The paper deals with the exact controllability of partial differential equations by linear controls. The discussion takes place in infinite dimensional state spaces since these equations are considered in their abstract formulation as semilinear equations. The linear parts are densely defined and generate strongly continuous semigroups. The nonlinear terms may also include a nonlocal part. The solutions satisfy nonlocal properties, which are possibly nonlinear. The states belong to Banach spaces with a Schauder basis and the results exploit topological methods. The novelty of this investigation is in the use of an approximation solvability method which involves a sequence of controllability problems in finite-dimensional spaces. The exact controllability of nonlocal solutions can be proved, with controls in Lp spaces, 1<∞. The results apply to the study of the exact controllability for the transport equation in arbitrary Euclidean spaces and for the equation of the nonlinear wave equation.

- Mild Solutions of Second-Order Semilinear Impulsive Differential Inclusions in Banach Spaces
[Articolo su rivista]
Pavlackova, M.; Taddei, V.
abstract
In this paper, the existence of a mild solution to the Cauchy problem for impulsive semi-linear second-order differential inclusion in a Banach space is investigated in the case when the nonlinear term also depends on the first derivative. This purpose is achieved by combining the Kakutani fixed point theorem with the approximation solvability method and the weak topology. This combination enables obtaining the result under easily verifiable and not restrictive conditions on the impulsive terms, the cosine family generated by the linear operator and the right-hand side while avoiding any requirement for compactness. Firstly, the problems without impulses are investigated, and then their solutions are glued together to construct the solution to the impulsive problem step by step. The paper concludes with an application of the obtained results to the generalized telegraph equation with a Balakrishnan–Taylor-type damping term.

- On solvability of the impulsive Cauchy problem for integro-differential inclusions with non-densely defined operators
[Articolo su rivista]
Benedetti, Irene; Obukhovskii, Valeri; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
We prove the existence of at least one integrated solution to an impulsive Cauchy problem for an integro-differential inclusion in a Banach space with a non-densely defined operator. Since we look for integrated solution we do not need to assume that A is a Hille Yosida operator. We exploit a technique based on the measure of weak non-compactness which allows us to avoid any hypotheses of compactness both on the semigroup generated by the linear part and on the nonlinear term. As the main tool in the proof of our existence result, we are using the Glicksberg–Ky Fan theorem on a fixed point for a multivalued map on a compact convex subset of a
locally convex topological vector space.

- Evolution fractional differential problems with impulses and nonlocal conditions
[Articolo su rivista]
Benedetti, Irene; Obukhovskii, Valeri; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
We obtain existence results for mild solutions of a fractional differential inclusion subjected to impulses and nonlocal initial conditions. By means of a technique based on the weak topology in connection with the Glicksberg-Ky Fan Fixed Point Theorem we are able to avoid any hypothesis of compactness on the semigroup and on the nonlinear term and at the same time we do not need to assume hypotheses of monotonicity or Lipschitz regularity neither on the nonlinear term, nor on the impulse functions, nor on the nonlocal condition. An application to a fractional diffusion process complete the discussion of the studied problem

- On the impulsive Dirichlet problem for second-order differential inclusions
[Articolo su rivista]
Pavlačková, Martina; TADDEI, Valentina
abstract
Solutions in a given set of an impulsive Dirichlet boundary value problem are investigated for second-order differential inclusions. The method used for obtaining the existence and the localization of a solution is based on the combination of
a fixed point index technique developed by ourselves earlier with a bound sets approach and Scorza-Dragoni type result. Since the related bounding (Liapunov-like) functions are strictly localized on the boundaries of parameter sets of candidate solutions, some trajectories are allowed to escape from these sets.

Pavlackova, Martina; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
In this article, we prove the existence and localization of solutions
for a vector impulsive Dirichlet problem with multivalued upper-Carathéodory
right-hand side. The result is obtained by combining the continuation principle
with a bound sets technique. The main theorem is illustrated by an application
to the forced pendulum equation with viscous damping term and dry friction
coecient.

- Controllability in Dynamics of Diffusion Processes with Nonlocal Conditions
[Articolo su rivista]
Malaguti, Luisa; Rykaczewski, Krzysztof; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
The paper deals with semilinear evolution equations in Banach spaces. By means of linear control terms, the controllability problem is investigated and the solutions satisfy suitable nonlocal conditions. The Cauchy multi-point condition and the mean value condition are included in the present discussion. The final configuration is always achieved with a control with minimum norm. The results make use of fixed point techniques; two different approaches are proposed, depending on the use of norm or weak topology in the state space. The discussion is completed with some applications to dynamics of diffusion processes.

- Exact controllability of infinite dimensional systems with controls of minimal norm
[Articolo su rivista]
Malaguti, Luisa; Perrotta, Stefania; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
The paper deals with the exact controllability of a semilinear system in a separable Hilbert space. A bounded linear part is considered and a linear control introduced. The state space is compactly embedded in a Banach space and the nonlinear term is continuous in its state variable in the norm of the Banach space. An infinite sequence of finite dimen- sional controllability problems is introduced and the solution is obtained by a limiting procedure. To the best of our knowledge, the method is new in controllability theory. An application to an integro-differential system in euclidean spaces completes the discussion.

- Nonlocal solutions of parabolic equations with strongly elliptic differential operators
[Articolo su rivista]
Benedetti, Irene; Malaguti, Luisa; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
The paper deals with second order parabolic equations on bounded domains with Dirichlet conditions in arbitrary Euclidean spaces. Their interest comes from being models for describing reaction–diffusion processes in several frameworks. A linear diffusion term in divergence form is included which generates a strongly elliptic differential operator. A further linear part, of integral type, is present which accounts of nonlocal diffusion behaviours. The main result provides a unifying method for studying the existence and localization of solutions satisfying nonlocal associated boundary conditions. The Cauchy multipoint and the mean value conditions are included in this investigation. The problem is transformed into its abstract setting and the proofs are based on the homotopic invariance of the Leray–Schauder topological degree. A bounding function (i.e. Lyapunov-like function) theory is developed, which is new in this infinite dimensional context. It allows that the associated vector fields have no fixed points on the boundary of their domains and then it makes possible the use of a degree argument.

- An approximation solvability method for nonlocal semilinear differential problems in Banach spaces
[Articolo su rivista]
Benedetti, Irene; Loi, Nguyen Van; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
A new approximation solvability method is developed for the study of semilinear differential equations with nonlocal conditions without the compactness of the semigroup and of the nonlinearity. The method is based on the Yosida approximations of the generator of C0semigroup, the continuation principle, and the weak topology. It is shown how the abstract result can be applied to study the reaction-diffusion models.

- Nonlocal diffusion second order partial differential equations
[Articolo su rivista]
Benedetti, Irene; Loi, Nguyen Van; Malaguti, Luisa; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
The paper deals with a second order integro-partial differential equation in RnRn with a nonlocal, degenerate diffusion term. Nonlocal conditions, such as the Cauchy multipoint and the weighted mean value problem, are investigated. The existence of periodic solutions is also studied. The dynamic is transformed into an abstract setting and the results come from an approximation solvability method. It combines a Schauder degree argument with an Hartman-type inequality and it involves a Scorza-Dragoni type result. The compact embedding of a suitable Sobolev space in the corresponding Lebesgue space is the unique amount of compactness which is needed in this discussion. The solutions are located in bounded sets and they are limits of functions with values in finitely dimensional spaces.

differential inclusions with non local conditions in a reflexive Banach space.
We are able to avoid any kind of compactness assumptions both on the

parabolic partial integro-differential inclusions.

abstract
We prove a global existence result for bounded solutions to a class of abstract semilinear delay evolution equations with measures subjected to nonlocal initial data of the form: du(t)={Au(t)+f(t,u t )}dt+dg(t) with t∈R+ and u(t)=h(u)(t) for t∈[−τ,0], with τ≥0. The operator A:D(A)⊆X→X is the infinitesimal generator of a C0 -semigroup, f:R+ ×R([−τ,0];X)→X is continuous, g∈BVloc (R+ ;X) and h:Rb (R + ;X)→R([−τ,0];X) is nonexpansive.

We study asymptotic behavior of (all) positive solutions of the non-oscillatory half-linear differential equation of the form (r(t)|y'|^ {alpha-1} sgn y')'=p(t)|y|^{alpha-1}sgn y, where alpha>1 and r,p are positive continuous functions, with the help of the Karamata theory of regularly varying functions and the de Haan theory. We show that increasing resp. decreasing solutions belong to the de Haan class Gamma resp. Gamma- under suitable assumptions. Further we study behavior of slowly varying solutions for which asymptotic formulas are established. Some of our results are new even in the linear case alpha=2.

[Relazione in Atti di Convegno]
Benedetti, Irene; Malaguti, Luisa; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
An existence result for differential inclusions in a separable Hilbert space is furnished. A wide family of nonlocal boundary value problems is treated, including periodic, anti-periodic, mean value and multipoint conditions. The study is based on an approximation solvability method. Advanced topological methods are used as well as a Scorza Dragoni-type result for multivalued maps. The conclusions are original also in the single-valued setting. An application to a nonlocal dispersal model is given.

abstract
We provide existence results for a fractional differential inclusion with nonlocal conditions and impulses in a reflexive Banach
space. We apply a technique based on weak topology to avoid any kind of compactness assumption on the nonlinear term. As an

- Controllability for systems governed by semilinear evolution equations without compactness
[Articolo su rivista]
Benedetti, Irene; Obukhovskii, Valeri; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
We study the controllability for a class of semilinear differential inclusions in Banach spaces. Since we assume the regularity of the nonlinear part with respect to the weak topology, we do not require the compactness of the evolution operator generated by the linear part. As well we are not posing any conditions on the multivalued nonlinearity expressed in terms of measures of noncompactness. We are considering the usual assumption on the controllability of the associated linear problem. Notice that, in infinite dimensional spaces, the above mentioned compactness of
the evolution operator and linear controllability condition are in contradiction with each other. We suppose that the nonlinear term has convex, closed, bounded values and a weakly sequentially closed graph when restricted to its second argument. This regularity setting allows us to solve controllability problem under various growth conditions. As application, a controllability result for hyperbolic integro-differential equations and inclusions is obtained. In particular, we consider controllability of a system arising in a model of nonlocal spatial population dispersal and a system governed by the second order one-dimensional telegraph equation.

- Evolution Problems with Nonlinear Nonlocal Boundary
Conditions
[Articolo su rivista]
Irene, Benedetti; Taddei, Valentina; Martin, Vath
abstract
We provide a new approach to obtain solutions of evolution equations with nonlinear
and nonlocal in time boundary conditions. Both, compact and noncompact semigroups
are considered. As an example we show a “principle of huge growth”: every control of a
reaction-diffusion system necessarily leads to a profile preserving nonlinear huge growth
for an appropriate initial value condition. As another example we apply the approach with
noncompact semigroups also to a class of age-population models, based on a hyperbolic
conservation law.

- Nonlocal semilinear evolution equations without strong compactness: theory and applications
[Articolo su rivista]
Irene, Benedetti; Malaguti, Luisa; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
A semilinear multivalued evolution equation is considered in a reflexive Banach space. The nonlinear term has convex, closed, bounded values and a weakly sequentially closed graph when restricted to its second argument. No strong
compactness is assumed, neither on the evolution operator generated by the linear part, or on the nonlinear term. A wide family of nonlocal associated boundary value problems is investigated by means of a fixed point technique. Applications are given to an optimal feedback control problem, to a nonlinear hyperbolic integro-differential
equation arising in age-structure population models, and to a multipoint boundary value problem associated to a parabolic partial differential equation.

The nonlinearity F is weakly upper semicontinuous in x. We prove the existenceof global solutions in the Sobolev space W1,p([a, b], E) with 1 < p < ∞ endowed with the weak topology. We consider the case of multiple solutions of the associated homogeneouslinearized problem. An example completes the discussion.

- Strictly localized bounding functions and Floquet boundary value problems
[Articolo su rivista]
S., Cecchini; Malaguti, Luisa; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
Semilinear multivalued equations are considered, in separable Ba-nach spaces with the Radon-Nikodym property. An effective criterion for the existence of solutions to the associated Floquet boundary value problem is showed. Its proof is obtained combining a continuation principle with a Liapunov-like technique and a Scorza-Dragoni type theorem. A strictly localized transversality condition is assumed. The employed method enables to localize the solution values in a not necessarily invariant set; it allows also to introduce nonlinearities with superlinear growth in the state variable.

abstract
A two-point boundary value problem associated to a semilinear multivalued evolution equation is investigated, in reflexive and separable Banach spaces. To this aim, an original method is proposed based on the use of weak topologies and on a suitable continuation principle in Fréchet spaces. Lyapunov-like functions are introduced, for proving the required transversality condition. The linear part can also depend on the state variable x and the discussion comprises the cases of a nonlinearity with sublinear growth in x or of a noncompact valued one. Some applications are given, to the study of periodic and Floquet boundary value problems of partial integro-differential equations and inclusionsappearing in dispersal population models. Comparisons are included, with recent related achievements.

abstract
The paper deals with the multivalued initial value problem x'(t) Є A(t, x)x+ F (t, x) for a.a. t in[a, b], x(a) = x_0 in a separable, reflexive Banach space E. The nonlinearity F is weakly upper semicontinuous in x and the investigation includes the case when both A and F have asuperlinear growth in x. We prove the existence of local and global classical solutions in the Sobolev space W1,p ([a, b], E) with 1 < p < ∞. Introducing a suitably defined Lyapunov-likefunction, we are able to investigate the topological structure of the solution set. Our main tool is a continuation principle in Frechét spaces and we prove the required pushingcondition in two different ways. Some examples complete the discussion.

- On boundary value problems in Banach spaces
[Articolo su rivista]
J., Andres; Malaguti, Luisa; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
The paper deals with boundary value problemsassociated to first-order differential inclusions in Banach spaces. The solvability is investigated in the (strong) Carathèodory sense on compact intervals. To this aim, we develop a general method that relies on degree arguments. This method is still combined with a bound sets technique for checking the behavior of trajectories in the neighborhood of a suitable parametric set of candidate solutions. On this basis, we obtain effective criteria for the existence of solutions of Floquet problems. The existence of entirely bounded solutions is also established by means of a sequence of solutions on compact increasing intervals.

A simple illustrating example is supplied.

The paper deals with a quasi-linear ordinarydifferential equation when the nonlinearity is not necessarily monotone in its second argument. We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of unbounded non-oscillatory solutions. By means of a fixed point technique we investigate their growth, proving the coexistence of solutions with different asymptotic behaviors. In some special cases we are able to show the exact asymptotic growth of these solutions. We apply previous analysis for studying the non-oscillatory problem. Several examples are included.

- Bounded solutions and wavefronts for discrete dynamics
[Articolo su rivista]
Malaguti, Luisa; P., Rehak; Taddei, Valentina
abstract
This paper deals with the second-order nonlinear difference equation Delta(r(k)Deltau(k)) + q(k)g(u(k+1)) = 0 where {r(k)} and {q(k)} are positive real sequences defined on N, and the nonlinearity g : R --> R is nonnegative and nontrivial. Sufficient and necessary conditions are given, for the existence of bounded solutions starting from a fixed initial condition u(0). The same dynamic, with f instead of g such that uf (u) > 0 for u not equal 0, was recently extensively investigated. On the contrary, our nonlinearity g is of a small appearance in the discrete case. Its introduction is motivated by the analysis of wavefront profiles in biological and chemical models. The paper emphasizes the many different dynamical behaviors caused by such a g with respect to the equation involving function f. Some applications in the study of wavefronts complete this work.
