We prove the existence of a unique positive solution for a class of systems of the following nonlinear suspension bridge equation with Dirichlet boundary conditions and periodic conditions $$\{{u_{tt}+u_{xxxx}+\frac{1}{4}u_{ttxx}+av^+={\phi}_{00}+{\epsilon}_1h_1(x,t)\;\;in\;(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}){\times}R,\\{v_{tt}+v_{xxxx}+\frac{1}{4}u_{ttxx}+bu^+={\phi}_{00}+{\epsilon}_2h_2(x,t)\;\;in\;(-\frac{\pi}{2},\frac{\pi}{2}){\times}R,$$ where $u^+={\max}\{u,0\},\;{\epsilon}_1,\;{\epsilon}_2$ are small number and $h_1(x,t)$, $h_2(x,t)$ are bounded, ${\pi}$-periodic in t and even in x and t and ${\parallel} h_1{\parallel}={\parallel} h_2{\parallel}=1$. We first show that the system has a positive solution, and then prove the uniqueness by the contraction mapping principle on a Banach space

In this paper, we investigate the boundedness character, the periodic character and the global behavior of positive solutions of the difference equation $$x_{n+1}=p_n+\frac{x_n}{x_{n-1}},\;n=0,1,{\cdots}$$ where $\{p_n\}$ is a two periodic sequence of nonnegative real numbers and the initial conditions $x_{-1}$, $x_0$ are arbitrary positive real numbers.

In this paper, we investigate a discrete-time non-autonomous predator-prey system with the Beddington-DeAngelis functional response. By using the coincidence degree and the related continuation theorem as well as some priori estimates, easily verifiable sufficient criteria are established for the existence of positive periodic solutions.

We study the existence and nonexistence of positive periodic solutions of a non-autonomous functional differential equation with impulses. The equations we study may be of delay, advance or mixed type functional differential equations and the impulses may cause the existence of positive periodic solutions. The methods employed are fixed-point index theorem, Leray-Schauder degree, and upper and lower solutions. The results obtained are new, and some examples are given to illustrate our main results.

We study an age-dependent s-i-s epidemic model with spatial diffusion. The model equations are described by a nonlinear and nonlocal system of integro-differential equations. Finite difference methods along the characteristics in age-time domain combined with finite elements in the spatial variable are applied to approximate the solution of the model. Stability of the discrete periodic solution is investigated.

In this paper, we investigate the dynamics of the mathematical model of two non-interacting preys in presence of their common natural enemy (predator) based on the non-autonomous differential equations. We establish sufficient conditions for the permanence, extinction and global stability in the general non-autonomous case. In the periodic case, by means of the continuation theorem in coincidence degree theory, we establish a set of sufficient conditions for the existence of a positive periodic solutions with strictly positive components. Also, we give some sufficient conditions for the global asymptotic stability of the positive periodic solution.

In this paper we shall consider the nonlinear delay differential equation (equation omitted) where m is a positive integer, ${\beta}$(t) and $\delta$(t) are positive periodic functions of period $\omega$. In the nondelay case we shall show that (*) has a unique positive periodic solution (equation omitted), and show that (equation omitted) is a global attractor all other positive solutions. In the delay case we shall present sufficient conditions for the oscillation of all positive solutions of (*) about (equation omitted), and establish sufficient conditions for the global attractivity of (equation omitted). Our results extend and improve the well known results in the autonomous case.

In this paper we consider positive solutions of the following difference equation $$x_{n+l}\;=\;min[{\frac{A}{x_{n}},{\frac{B}{x_{n-2}}}],\;A,B\;>\;0$$. We prove that every positive solution is eventually periodic. Also, we present here some results concerning positive solutions of the difference equation $$x_{n+l}\;=\;min[{\frac{A}{x_{n}x_{n-1}{\cdots}x_{n-k}},{\frac{B}{x_{n-(k+2)}{\cdots}x_{n-(2k+2)}}],\;A,B\;>\;0$$.

With the help of the coincidence degree and the related continuation theorem, we explore the existence of at least two periodic solutions of a discrete time non-autonomous ratio-dependent predator-prey system with control. Some easily verifiable sufficient criteria are established for the existence of at least two positive periodic solutions.
