On the Number of Nonnegative Solutions to the Inequality a1 +....ar < n [PDF]
In this paper, we present a simple and fast method for counting the number of nonnegative integer solutions to the equality a1x1+a2x2+: : :+arxr = n where a1; a2; :::; ar and n are positive integers.

Existence of solutions for Kirchhoff-type problems via the method of lower and upper solutions [PDF]
This article considers elliptic problems of Kirchhoff-type. We give some new definitions of lower and upper solutions for the problem and establish the method of lower and upper solutions when the upper and lower solutions are well ordered, i.e., the ...

3D ultimate limit state analysis using discontinuity layout optimization [PDF]
The recently developed discontinuity layout optimization (DLO) procedure uses limit analysis theory to directly obtain upper bounds on plane strain collapse loads of bodies and has successfully been applied to geotechnical problems.

The method of upper, lower solutions and hyperbolic partial differential equations
The authors extend the method of sub- and super-solutions to some initial value problems for certain nonlinear hyperbolic equations. They prove existence theorems and obtain minimal solutions. \{Reviewer's remark: It seems to the reviewer that their requirements on sub- and supersolutions are very restrictive.\}

Almost Periodic Solutions of First-Order Ordinary Differential Equations
Approaches to estimate the number of almost periodic solutions of ordinary differential equations are considered. Conditions that allow determination for both upper and lower bounds for these solutions are found.

We prove existence and uniqueness of weak and classical solutions to certain semi-linear parabolic systems with Robin boundary conditions using the coupled upper-lower solution approach. Our interest lies in cross-dependencies on the gradient parts of the reaction term, which prevents the straight-forward application of standard theorems.

The upper–lower solution method for the coupled system of first order nonlinear PDEs
Abstract This paper is concerned with a coupled system of first order nonlinear partial differential equations. This system is, but not limited in, the extended case of the general blood–tissue exchange model (BTEX). We use the solutions of a coupled system of first order ordinary differential equations to construct a pair of ordered lower and upper ...

Causal difference equations with upper and lower solutions in the reverse order
This paper is devoted to studying the existence conditions for difference equations involving causal operators in the presence of upper and lower solutions in the reverse order. To this end, we prove some new comparison theorems and develop the upper and

Lower semicontinuity of attractors for non-autonomous dynamical systems [PDF]
This paper is concerned with the lower semicontinuity of attractors for semilinear non-autonomous differential equations in Banach spaces. We require the unperturbed attractor to be given as the union of unstable manifolds of time-dependent hyperbolic

On positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem involving the extrinsic mean curvature operator
In this paper, we are concerned with necessary conditions for the existence of positive solutions of the Dirichlet problem for the prescribed mean curvature equation in Minkowski space \begin{equation*} \begin{aligned} -\text{div}\left(\frac {\nabla u}{\
