Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The methods of nonlinear analysis have countless applications in ODEs, elliptic or parabolic PDEs, and fractional-type equations. The ramifications of nonlinear analysis combined with functional analysis, fixed point theory, regularity theory, and differential and algebraic geometry make it the ideal field where distant topics meet to produce fruitful results on existence, uniqueness or multiplicity, as well as qualitative properties of solutions to various integro-differential problems arising from the mathematical modelling of natural phenomena.

The aim of this Special Issue is to present new and meaningful applications of the most advanced techniques in this topic, to advertise and discuss new problems requiring genuinely innovative approaches, as well as to highlight progress in the field through review articles and/or open questions.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Mathematics is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2600 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

We consider a nonlinear Dirichlet problem driven by the (p(z),q)-Laplacian and with a logistic reaction of the equidiffusive type. Under a nonlinearity condition on a quotient map, we show existence and uniqueness of positive solutions and the result is global in parameter λ. If the monotonicity condition on the quotient map is not true, we can no longer guarantee uniqueness, but we can show the existence of a minimal solution uλ* and establish the monotonicity of the map λuλ* and its asymptotic behaviour as the parameter λ decreases to the critical value λ^1(q)>0 (the principal eigenvalue of (Δq,W01,q(Ω))).

In this paper, we introduce an ODE system to model the interaction between natural resources and human exploitation in a rich consumeristic society. In this model, the rate of change in population depends on wealth per capita, and the rate of consumption has a quadratic growth with respect to population and wealth. We distinguish between renewable and non-renewable resources, and we introduce a replenishment term for non-renewable resources. We first obtain some information on the asymptotic behavior of wealth and population, then we compute all system equilibria and study their stability when the resource exploitation parameter is low. Some numerical simulations confirm the theoretical results and suggest directions for future research. Full article

We are concerned with the existence and multiplicity of normalized solutions to the fractional Schrödinger equation (Δ)su+V(εx)u=λu+h(εx)f(u)inRN,RN|u|2dx=a,, where (Δ)s is the fractional Laplacian, s(0,1), a,ε>0, λR is an unknown parameter that appears as a Lagrange multiplier, h:RN[0,+) are bounded and continuous, and f is L2-subcritical. Under some assumptions on the potential V, we show the existence of normalized solutions depends on the global maximum points of h when ε is small enough. Full article
