Nonlinear Differential Equations in Ordered Spaces (Monographs and Surveys in Pure and Applied Mathematics)

Product Description Extremality results proved in this Monograph for an abstract operator equation provide the theoretical framework for developing new methods that allow the treatment of a variety of discontinuous initial and boundary value problems for both ordinary and partial differential equations, in explicit and implicit forms. By means of these extremality results, the authors prove the existence of extremal solutions between appropriate upper and lower solutions of first and second order discontinuous implicit and explicit ordinary and functional differential equations. They then study the dependence of these extremal solutions on the data.The authors begin by developing an existence theory for an abstract operator equation in ordered spaces and offer new tools for dealing with different kinds of discontinuous implicit and explicit differential equation problems. They present a unified approach to the existence of extremal solutions of quasilinear elliptic and parabolic problems and extend the upper and lower solution method to elliptic and parabolic inclusion of hemivariation type using variational and nonvariational methods.Nonlinear Differential Equations in Ordered Spaces includes research that appears for the first time in book form and is designed as a source book for pure and applied mathematicians. Its self-contained presentation along with numerous worked examples and complete, detailed proofs also make it accessible to researchers in engineering as well as advanced students in these fields. Review "This is a very interesting monograph written by well-known experts on iterative techniques for differential and functional equations. It mainly contains results obtained by the authors during the last few years." --Salvatore A. Marano in Mathematical Reviews About the Author Carl, S.; Heikkila, Seppo

"Providing the theoretical framework to model phenomena with discontinuous changes, this unique reference presents a generalized monotone iterative method in terms of upper and lower solutions appropriate for the study of discontinuous nonlinear differential equations and applies this method to derive suitable fixed point theorems in ordered abstract spaces."

Fixed Point Theory in Ordered Sets and Applications: From Differential and Integral Equations to Game Theory

This monograph provides a unified and comprehensive treatment of an order-theoretic fixed point theory in partially ordered sets and its various useful interactions with topological structures. The material progresses systematically, by presenting the preliminaries before moving to more advanced topics. In the treatment of the applications a wide range of mathematical theories and methods from nonlinear analysis and integration theory are applied; an outline of which has been given an appendix chapter to make the book self-contained. Graduate students and researchers in nonlinear analysis, pure and applied mathematics, game theory and mathematical economics will find this book useful.
