AbstractAn elementary approach, based on a systematic use of lower and upper solutions, is employed to detect the qualitative properties of solutions of first order scalar periodic ordinary differential equations. This study is carried out in the Carathéodory setting, avoiding any uniqueness assumption, in the future or in the past, for the Cauchy problem. Various classical and recent results are recovered and generalized.

One of the mathematical models describing the behavior of two horizontally infinite adjoining layers of an ideal incompressible liquid under a solid cover moving at different speeds is investigated. At a large difference in the layer velocities, the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability occurs, which leads to a distortion of the interface. At the initial point in time, the interface is not necessarily flat. From a mathematical point of view, the behavior of the liquid layers is described by a system of four quasilinear equations, either hyperbolic or elliptic, in partial derivatives of the first order. Some type shallow water equations are used to construct the model. In the simple version of the model considered in this paper, in the spatially one-dimensional case, the unknowns are the boundary between the liquid layers h(x,t) and the difference in their velocities γ(x,t). The main attention is paid to the case of elliptic equations when |h|<1 and γ>1. An evolutionary Cauchy problem with arbitrary sufficiently smooth initial data is set for the system of equations. The explicit dependence of the Riemann invariants on the initial variables of the problem is indicated. To solve the Cauchy problem formulated in terms of Riemann invariants, a variant of the hodograph method based on a certain conservation law is used. This method allows us to convert a system of two quasilinear partial differential equations of the first order to a single linear partial differential equation of the second order with variable coefficients. For a linear equation, the Riemann-Green function is specified, which is used to construct a two-parameter implicit solution to the original problem. The explicit solution of the problem is constructed on the level lines (isochrons) of the implicit solution by solving a certain Cauchy problem for a system of ordinary differential equations. As a result, the original Cauchy problem in partial derivatives of the first order is transformed to the Cauchy problem for a system of ordinary differential equations, which is solved by numerical methods. Due to the bulkiness of the expression for the Riemann-Green function, some asymptotic approximation of the problem is considered, and the results of calculations, and their analysis are presented.

The Cauchy Problem

SynopsisIn this paper, the existence of global smooth solutions and the formation of singularities of solutions for strictly hyperbolic systems with general eigenvalues are discussed for the Cauchy problem with essentially periodic small initial data or nonperiodic initial data. A result of Klainerman and Majda is thus extended to the general case.

The Cauchy problem for a system of two first-order quasilinear equations with absolute terms is considered. The study of this problem’s solvability in original coordinates is based on the method of an additional argument. The existence of the local solution of the problem with smoothness which is not lower than the smoothness of the initial conditions, is proved. Sufficient conditions of existence are determined for the nonlocal solution that is continued by a finite number of steps from the local solution. The proof of the nonlocal resolvability of the Cauchy problem relies on original global estimates.
