The purpose of this study was to examine validity of developed Logo-Autobiography for College students (LAC). The LAC was developed based on Frankl's logotherapy and Logo-Autobiography program for middle-aged women. Eleven college students participated in 6 sessions of LAC after 3 psychiatric nurse practitioners confirmed content validity of the program. Focus group interviews were conducted to identify participation experiences and to examine validity of the program sessions. Qualitative data were analyzed using content analysis method. A total of 9 themes were emerged from the data; 1)Realizing my existence, 2)Discovering my uniqueness of existence, 3)Thinking my future, 4)Experiences of encounter, 5)My uniqueness, 6)Experiences of successful coping, 7)Realizing freedom of attitude choice, 8)Needs of self-transcendence, and 9)Discovering my existence. The emerged 9 themes were all evaluated to be consistent with the objectives and topics of each session. We suggest a randomized experimental study to examine effects of LAC on college students' mental health.

The nonuniqueness of a mathematically rigorous solution to 2-dimensional inverse scattering problems is explained in a limiting view of the numerical calculations based on the spectral-domain moment method. It is illustrated that its theoretical uniqueness cannot be assured even by performing additional measurements of the scattered fields not only along multiple lines but also with angular/frequency-diversities. In a real situation, however, computational error and measurement noise are inevitable. Those limitations render it meaningless to controvert the existence of a theoretically rigorous solution. Hence the most practical issue is how to remedy the instability of its practically approximate solution.

We consider a class of elliptic problems of a logistic type $$-div(|{\nabla}_u|^{m-2}{\nabla}_u)\;=\;w(x)u^q\;-\;(a(x))^{\frac{m}{2}}\;f(u)$$ in a bounded domain of $\mathbf{R}^N$ with boundary $\partial\Omega$ of class $C^2$, $u|_{\partial\Omega}\;=\;+{\infty}$, $\omega\;\in\;L^{\infty}(\Omega)$, 0 < q < 1 and $a\;{\in}\;C^{\alpha}(\bar{\Omega})$, $\mathbf{R}^+$ is non-negative for some $\alpha\;\in$ (0,1), where $\mathbf{R}^+\;=\;[0,\;\infty)$. Under suitable growth assumptions on a, b and f, we show the exact blow-up rate and uniqueness of the large solutions. Our proof is based on the method of sub-supersolution.

This paper investigates the inverse problem of determining an unknown heat radiative coefficient, which is only time-dependent. This is an ill-posed problem, that is, small errors in data may cause huge deviations in determining solution. In this paper, the existence and uniqueness of the problem is established by the second Volterra integral equation theory, and the method of trace-type functional formulation combined with finite difference scheme is studied. One typical numerical example using the proposed method is illustrated and discussed.

We show the existence of the unique solution of the following system of the nonlinear wave equations with Dirichlet boundary conditions and periodic conditions under some conditions $U_{tt}-U_{xx}+av^+=s{\phi}_{00}+f$ in $(-{\frac{\pi}{2},{\frac{\pi}{2}}){\times}R$, ${\upsilon}_{tt}-{\upsilon}_{xx}+bu^+=t{\phi}_{00}+g$ in $(-{\frac{\pi}{2},{\frac{\pi}{2}}){\times}R$, where $u^+$ = max{u, 0}, s, t ${\in}$ R, ${\phi}_{00}$ is the eigenfunction corresponding to the positive eigenvalue ${\lambda}_{00}$ of the wave operator. We first show that the system has a positive solution or a negative solution depending on the sand t, and then prove the uniqueness theorem by the contraction mapping principle on the Banach space.

This research is a continuation of a recent paper due to the first author in [9]. Different from previous results, we investigate the value distribution of difference polynomials of moromorphic functions in this paper. In particular, we are interested in the existence of zeros of $f(z)^n({\lambda}f(z+c)^m+{\mu}f(z)^m)-a$, where f is a moromorphic function, n, m are two non-negative integers, and ${\lambda}$, ${\mu}$ are non-zero complex numbers. However, the proof here is obviously different to the one in [9]. We also study difference polynomials of entire functions sharing a common value, which improves the result in [10, 13].

In this paper, we developed the existence and uniqueness results by monotone method for non-linear fractional reaction-diffusion equation together with initial and boundary conditions. In this text the Hilfer fractional derivative is used to denote the time fractional derivative. The employment of monotone method generates two sequences of minimal and maximal solutions which converges to lower and upper solutions respectively.

In this article, Adomian decomposition method (ADM), variation iteration method(VIM) and homotopy analysis method (HAM) for solving integro-differential equation with singular kernel have been investigated. Also,we study the existence and uniqueness of solutions and the convergence of present methods. The accuracy of the proposed method are illustrated with solving some numerical examples.

In this paper, we introduce the notion of α-Geraghty contractive type covariant and contravariant mappings in the bipolar metric spaces. In addition, we prove some fixed point theorems, which give existence and uniqueness of fixed point, for α-Geraghty contractive type covariant and contravariant mappings in complete bipolar metric spaces. Finally, we show some examples to support our main results.
