Recent advances in variational and optimization methods applied to increasingly complex numerical weather prediction models with larger numbers of degrees of freedom mandate to take a perspective view of past and recent developments in this field, and present a view of the state of art in the field. Variational methods attempt to achieve a best fit between data and model subject to some ‘a prio...

In this paper, existence results of positive classical solutions for a class of second-order differential equations with the nonlinearity dependent on the derivative are established. The approach is based on variational methods.

In this paper‎, ‎we consider the following Kirchhoff-type equations‎: ‎$-‎left(a+bint_{mathbb{R}^{3}}|nabla u|^{2}right)Delta u+V(x) u=lambda$ $f(x,u)+u^{5}‎, ‎quad mbox{in }mathbb{R}^{3},$ ‎$u(x)>0‎, ‎quad mbox{in }mathbb{R}^{3},$ ‎$uin H^{1}(mathbb{R}^{3})‎ ,‎$ ‎ ‎‎‎where $a,b>0$ are constants and $lambda$ is a positive parameter‎. ‎The aim of this paper is to study the existence of positive ...

Fractional differential equations have been of great interest recently. This is because of both the intensive development of the theory of fractional calculus itself and the applications of such constructions in various scientific fields such as physics, mechanics, chemistry, engineering, etc. Differential equations with impulsive effects arising from the real world describe the dyn...

In this paper, we consider a new class of quasi variational inequalities involving three operators, which is called the extended general quasi variational inequality. It is shown that the extended general quasi variational inequalities are equivalent to the fixed problems. This equivalence is used to suggest and analyze some iterative methods for solving the extended general quasi variational i...

in this paper, we apply the local fractional adomian decomposition and variational iteration methods to obtain the analytic approximate solutions of fredholm integral equations of the second kind within local fractional derivative operators. the iteration procedure is based on local fractional derivative. the obtained results reveal that the proposed methods are very efficient and simple tools ...
