Recent work in arXiv:1901.11526 by the author about a class of abstract delay differential equations (DDEs), as well as earlier work by Diekmann and Gyllenberg on other classes of delay equations, motivates the introduction of the general notion of an admissible range and an admissible perturbation for a given $\mathcal{C}_0$-semigroup $T_0$ on a Banach space $X$ that is not assumed to be sun-reflexive with respect to $T_0$. We investigate the relationship between admissible ranges for $T_0$ and the subspace $X^{\odot\times}$ of $X^{\odot\star}$ introduced by Van Neerven. We answer two questions about robustness of admissibility with respect to bounded linear perturbations and we use these answers to study the semilinear problem and its linearization. Partly as an application of the material developed up to that point, and partly as a justification of existing work on local bifurcations in models taking the form of abstract DDEs, we compare the construction of center manifolds in the non-sun-reflexive case with known results by Diekmann and Van Gils for the sun-reflexive case. We show that a systematic use of the space $X^{\odot\times}$ facilitates a generalization of the existing results with relatively little effort. In this context we also give sufficient conditions for the existence of appropriate spectral decompositions of $X$ and $X^{\odot\times}$ without assuming that the linearized semiflow is eventually compact. A center manifold theorem for the motivating class of abstract DDEs then follows as a particular case.
Using dual perturbation theory in a non-sun-reflexive context, we establish a correspondence between 1. a class of nonlinear abstract delay differential equations (DDEs) with unbounded linear part and an unknown taking values in an arbitrary Banach space and 2. a class of abstract weak* integral equations of convolution type involving the sun-star adjoint of a translation-like strongly continuous semigroup. For this purpose we also characterize the sun dual of the underlying state space. More generally we consider bounded linear perturbations of an arbitrary strongly continuous semigroup and w…
We prove the equivalence of the well-posedness of a partial differential equation with delay and an associated abstract Cauchy problem. This is used to derive sufficient conditions for well-posedness, exponential stability and norm continuity of the solutions. Applications to a reaction-diffusion equation with delay are given.
The problem considered in this paper consists of a cascade of reactions with discrete as well as distributed delays, which arose in the context of Hes1 gene expression. For the abstract general model sufficient conditions for global stability are presented. Then the abstract result is applied to the Hes1 model.
It is shown how the linear method of the Yosida-approximation of the derivative applies to solve possibly nonlinear abstract functional differential equations in both, the finite and infinite delay case. A generalization of the integral solution will provide regularity results. Moreover, this method applies to derive uniform convergence on the halfline, and therefore general results on boundedness and various types of asymptotic almost periodicity.
In the underlying study it is shown how the linear method of the Yosida-approximation of the derivative applies to solve possibly nonlinear and multivalued functional differential equations like: \begin{eqnarray*} u^\prime(t) &\in& A(t,u_t)u(t) +ωu(t), \ t \in \mathbb{R} \end{eqnarray*} Furthermore, in the case of finite and infinite delay we give an answer about whether the solution is bounded, periodic, almost periodic, or some kind of almost automorphy.
Existence of almost automorphic solutions for abstract delayed differential equations is established. Using ergodicity, exponential dichotomy and Bi-almost automorphicity on the homogeneous part, sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of almost automorphic solutions are given.
We study the analyticity of bounded solutions of systems of analytic state-dependent delay differential equations. We obtain the analyticity of solutions by transforming the system of state-dependent delay equations into an abstract ordinary differential equation in a subspace of the sequence space $l^{\infty}(\mathbb{R}^{N+1})$ and prove the existence of complex extension of the bounded solutions. An example is given to illustrate the general results.
Some errors contained in the author's previous article "An example of Bautin-type bifurcation in a delay differential equation", JMAA, 329(2007), 777-789, are listed and corrected. Original abstract: In a previous paper we gave sufficient conditions for a system of delay differential equations to present Bautin-type bifurcation. In the present work we present an example of delay equation that satisfies these conditions.
We introduce a framework for the description of a large class of delay-differential algebraic systems, in which we study three core problems: first we characterize abstractly the well-posedness of the initial-value problem, then we design a practical test for well-posedness based on a graph-theoretic representation of the system; finally, we provide a general stability criterion. We apply each of these results to a structure that commonly arises in the control of delay systems.
We obtain a result on the behavior of the solutions of a general nonautonomous Hopfield neural network model with delay, assuming some general bound for the product of consecutive terms in the sequence of neuron charging times and some conditions to control the nonlinear part of the equations. We then apply this result to improve some existent results on the stability of Hopfield models. Our results are based on a new abstract result on the behavior of nonautonomous delayed equations.
In the present article, we discuss some aspects of the local stability analysis for a class of abstract functional differential equations. This is done under smoothness assumptions which are often satisfied in the presence of a state-dependent delay. Apart from recapitulating the two classical principles of linearized stability and instability, we deduce the analogon of the Pliss reduction principle for the class of differential equations under consideration. This reduction principle enables to determine the local stability properties of a solution in the situation where the linearization does…
In this paper, we investigate the existence and uniqueness of solutions and derive the Ulam--Hyers--Mittag--Leffler stability results for impulsive implicit $Ψ$--Hilfer fractional differential equations with time delay. It is demonstrated that the Ulam--Hyers and generalized Ulam--Hyers stability are the specific cases of Ulam--Hyers--Mittag--Leffler stability. Extended version of Gronwall inequality, abstract Gronwall lemma and Picard operator theory are the primary devices in our investigation. We give an example to illustrate the obtained results.
This paper treats comprehensively the construction of problems from nonlinear dynamics and constrained optimization amenable to parameter continuation techniques and with particular emphasis on multi-segment boundary-value problems with delay. The discussion is grounded in the context of the COCO software package and its explicit support for community-driven development. To this end, the paper first formalizes the COCO construction paradigm for augmented continuation problems compatible with simultaneous analysis of implicitly defined manifolds of solutions to nonlinear equations and the corre…
Neural field models with transmission delay may be cast as abstract delay differential equations (DDE). The theory of dual semigroups (also called sun-star calculus) provides a natural framework for the analysis of a broad class of delay equations, among which DDE. In particular, it may be used advantageously for the investigation of stability and bifurcation of steady states. After introducing the neural field model in its basic functional analytic setting and discussing its spectral properties, we elaborate extensively an example and derive a characteristic equation. Under certain conditions…
Existence and spatio-temporal patterns of periodic solutions to second order reversible equivariant autonomous systems with commensurate delays are studied using the Brouwer $O(2) \times Γ\times \mathbb Z_2$-equivariant degree theory, where $O(2)$ is related to the reversing symmetry, $Γ$ reflects the symmetric character of the coupling in the corresponding network and $\mathbb Z_2$ is related to the oddness of the right-hand-side. Abstract results are supported by a concrete example with $Γ= D_6$ -- the dihedral group of order 12.
This paper deals with the study of principal Lyapunov exponents, principal Floquet subspaces, and exponential separation for positive random linear dynamical systems in ordered Banach spaces. The main contribution lies in the introduction of a new type of exponential separation, called of type II, important for its application to nonautonomous random differential equations with delay. Under weakened assumptions, the existence of an exponential separation of type II in an abstract general setting is shown, and an illustration of its application to dynamical systems generated by scalar linear ra…
In this work characterizations of notions of output stability for uncertain time-varying systems described by retarded functional differential equations are provided. Particularly, characterizations by means of Lyapunov and Razumikhin functions of uniform and non-uniform in time Robust Global Asymptotic Output Stability and Input-to-Output Stability are given. The results of this work have been developed for systems with outputs in abstract normed linear spaces in order to allow outputs with no delay, with discrete or distributed delay or functional outputs with memory.
There are many Markov chains on infinite dimensional spaces whose one-step transition kernels are mutually singular when starting from different initial conditions. We give results which prove unique ergodicity under minimal assumptions on one hand and the existence of a spectral gap under conditions reminiscent of Harris' theorem. The first uses the existence of couplings which draw the solutions together as time goes to infinity. Such "asymptotic couplings" were central to recent work on SPDEs on which this work builds. The emphasis here is on stochastic differential delay equations.Harris' …
