Existence and multiplicity results of positive doubly periodic solutions for nonlinear telegraph system (Q952142): Difference between revisions

In this paper, the authors study the following nonlinear telegraph system \[ \left\{ \begin{matrix} u_{tt}-u_{xx}+c_1u_t+a_{11}\left( t,x\right) u+a_{12}\left( t,x\right) v=\lambda b_1\left( t,x\right) f\left( u,v\right) , \\ v_{tt}-v_{xx}+c_2v_t+a_{21}\left( t,x\right) u+a_{22}\left( t,x\right) v=\mu b_2\left( t,x\right) g\left( u,v\right) , \end{matrix} \right. \] with doubly periodic boundary conditions \[ \left\{ \begin{matrix} u\left( t+2\pi ,x\right) =u\left( t,x+2\pi \right) =u\left( t,x\right) ,\left( t,x\right) \in \mathbb{R}^2, \\ v\left( t+2\pi ,x\right) =v\left( t,x+2\pi \right) =v\left( t,x\right) ,\left( t,x\right) \in \mathbb{R}^2, \end{matrix} \right. \] where \(c_i>0\) is constant, \(a_{11},a_{22},b_1,b_2\in C\left( \mathbb{R}^2, \mathbb{R}_{+}\right) ,a_{12},a_{21}\in C\left( \mathbb{R}^2,\mathbb{R} _{-}\right) ,f,g\in C\left( \mathbb{R}_{+}\times \mathbb{R}_{+},\mathbb{R} _{+}\right) ,\) and \(a_{ij},b_i,f,g\) are \(2\pi -\)periodic in \(t\) and \(x.\) \newline Using upper and lower solution method and the fixed point index theory, the authors build first the maximum principle for telegraph system and then give some sufficient conditions for the existence of one solutions, two solutions or no solution for \(\left( 1\right) +\left( 2\right) \) when \(\lambda ,\mu \) belong to a suitable domains.
