This paper presents a boundary element method for obtaining approximate solutions of 2-dimensional consolidation problems based on the Biot's linear theory. Laplace transform is applied to differential equation system in order to eliminate the time dependency. The boundary integral equations in transformed space are formulated and the fundamental solutions are shown in a closed form. In order to convert the transformed solutions to the ones in real space, the Hosono's numerical Laplace transform inversion method is applied. As a numerical example, a half-space consolidation problem subjected to a strip local load is selected and the applicability of the method is demonstrated through the comparison with the exact solutions.

We study the global asymptotic stability, global attractivity, boundedness character, and periodic nature of all positive solutions and all negative solutions of the difference equation $$x_{n+1}\;=\;{\alpha}-{\frac{x_{n-1}}{x_{n}},\;n=0,1,\;{\cdots}$$, where ${\alpha}\;\in\; R$ is a real number, and the initial conditions $x_{-1},\;x_0$ are arbitrary real numbers.

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 $$x_{n+l}\;=\;min[{\frac{A}{x_{n}x_{n-1}{\cdots}x_{n-k}},{\frac{B}{x_{n-(k+2)}{\cdots}x_{n-(2k+2)}}],\;A,B\;>\;0$$.

This paper studies the generalized fifth-order KdV equation with variable coefficients using Lie symmetry methods.Lie group classification with respect to the time dependent coefficients is performed. Then we get the similarity reductions using the symmetry and give some exact solutions.

In this paper we consider a system of N-Laplacian elliptic equations with critical exponential growth. The existence and multiplicity results of solutions are obtained by a limit index method and Trudinger-Moser inequality.

In this paper, the formulas for calculating the extremal ranks and inertias of the Hermitian least squares solutions to matrix equation AX = B are established. In particular, the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existences of the positive and nonnegative definite solutions to this matrix equation are given. Meanwhile, the least squares problem of the above matrix equation with Hermitian R-symmetric and R-skew symmetric constraints are also investigated.

This paper mainly deals with the stochastic control system, the existence and uniqueness of solutions and the behavior of solutions are investigated. Firstly, we obtain sufficient conditions which guarantee the existence and uniqueness of solutions to the stochastic control system. And then, boundedness of the solution to the system is achieved under mean-square linear growth condition.

In this paper, we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions for a singular system of nonlinear fractional differential equations with integral boundary conditions. We obtain existence and uniqueness results of solutions by using the properties of the Green's function, a nonlinear alternative of Leray-Schauder type, Guo-Krasnoselskii's fixed point theorem in a cone. Some examples are included to show the applicability of our results.

In the present article we consider the diffusive Nicholson's blowflies equation with nonlocal delay incorporated into an integral convolution over all the past time and the whole infinite spatial domain $\mathbb{R}$. When the kernel function takes a special function, we construct a pair of lower and upper solutions of the corresponding travelling wave equation and obtain the existence of travelling fronts according to the existence result of travelling wave front solutions for reaction diffusion systems with nonlocal delays developed by Wang, Li and Ruan (J. Differential Equations, 222(2006), 185-232).
