In this paper, we are concerned with the following four point boundary value problem with one-dimensional p-Laplacian, $\{({\phi}_p(x'(t)))'+h(t)f(t,x(t),|x'(t)|)=0$, 0< t<1, $x'(0)-{\delta}x(\xi)=0,\;x'(1)+{\delta}x(\eta)=0$, where $\phi_p$ (s) = |s|$^{p-2}$, p > $\delta$ > 0, 1 > $\eta$ > $\xi$ > 0, ${\xi}+{\eta}$ = 1. By using a fixed point theorem in a cone, we obtain the existence of at least three symmetric positive solutions. The interesting point is that the boundary condition is a new Sturm-Liouville-like boundary condition, which has rarely been treated up to now.

In this paper, by using the Krasnoselskii fixed point theorem, we study the existence of 2m or 2m + 1 symmetric positive solutions of fourth-order two point boundary value problem y(4)(t) - f(t, y(t), y"(t))= 0, y(0) = y(1) = y'(0) = y"(1)=0.

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.

In this paper, we are concerned with the existence of infinitely many fast homoclinic solutions for the following damped vibration system $$(1){\hspace{32}}{\ddot{u}}(t)+q(t){\dot{u}}(t)-L(t)u(t)+{\nabla}W(t,u(t))=0,\;{\forall}t{\in}{\mathbb{R}},$$ where q ∈ C(ℝ, ℝ), L ∈ C(ℝ, ${\mathbb{R}}^{N^2}$) is a symmetric and positive definite matix-valued function and W ∈ C¹(ℝ×ℝ^N, ℝ). The novelty of this paper is that, assuming that L is bounded from below unnecessarily coercive at infinity, and W is only locally defined near the origin with respect to the second variable, we show that (1) possesses infinitely many homoclinic solutions via a variant symmetric mountain pass theorem.

In this paper we seek a positive, radially symmetric and energy minimizing solution of an m-Laplacian equation, -div$($\mid${\nabla}u$\mid$^{m-2}$\mid${\nabla}u)\;=\;h(u)$. In the variational sense, the solutions are the critical points of the associated functional called the energy, $J(v)\;=\;\frac{1}{m}\;\int_{R^N}\;$\mid${\nabla}v$\mid$^m\;-\;\int_{R^N}\;H(v)dx,\;where\;H(v)\;=\;{\int_0}^v\;h(t)dt$. A positive, radially symmetric critical point of J can be obtained by solving the constrained minimization problem; minimize{$\int_{R^N}$\mid${\nabla}u$\mid$^mdx$\mid$\;\int_{R^N}\;H(u)d;=\;1$}. Moreover, the solution minimizes J(v).

In this paper, a new fixed point theorem in cone is applied to obtain the existence of at least one positive pseudo-symmetric solution for the second order three-point boundary value problem {x" + f(t, x, x')=0, t $\in$ (0, 1), x(0)=0, x(1)=x($\eta$), where f is nonnegative continuous function; ${\eta}\;{\in}$ (0, 1) and f(t, u, v) = f(1+$\eta$-t, u, -v).

The paper investigates beam lateral buckling stability according to linear and non-linear models. Closed form solutions for single-symmetric cross sections are first derived according to a non-linear model considering flexural-torsional coupling and pre-buckling deformation effects. The closed form solutions are compared to a beam finite element developed in large torsion. Effects of pre-buckling deflection and gradient moment on beam stability are not well known in the literature. The strength of singly symmetric I-beams under gradient moments is particularly investigated. Beams with T and I cross-sections are considered in the study. It is concluded that pre-buckling deflections effects are important for I-section with large flanges and analytical solutions are possible. For beams with T-sections, lateral buckling resistance depends not only on pre-buckling deflection but also on cross section shape, load distribution and buckling modes. Effects of pre-buckling deflections are important only when the largest flange is under compressive stresses and positive gradient moments. For negative gradient moments, all available solutions fail and overestimate the beam strength. Numerical solutions are more powerful. Other load cases are investigated as the stability of continuous beams. Under arbitrary loads, all available solutions fail, and recourse to finite element simulation is more efficient.

We in this paper have defined the concept of .epsilon.-symmetric relation between the Lagrangean relaxation and the Benders' decomposition. This links the solutions of the Lagrangean subproblems and those of the Benders' subproblems even under positive duality gaps. As an application we have discussed the reduction of the size for a special class of problems.

We study the solvability of the Fermat's matrix equation in some classes of 2-by-2 matrices. We prove the Fermat's matrix equation has infinitely many solutions in a set of 2-by-2 positive semidefinite integral matrices, and has no nontrivial solutions in some classes including 2-by-2 symmetric rational matrices and stochastic quadratic field matrices.

In this paper, we consider the following nonlocal fractional Laplacian equation with a singular nonlinearity (-∆)^su(x) = λu^β (x) + a₀u^-γ (x), x ∈ ℝⁿ, where 0 < s < 1, γ > 0, $1<{\beta}{\leq}\frac{n+2s}{n-2s}$, λ > 0 are constants and a₀ ≥ 0. We use a direct method of moving planes which introduced by Chen-Li-Li to prove that positive solutions u(x) must be radially symmetric and monotone increasing about some point in ℝⁿ.
