This paper is devoted to study the existence and uniqueness of solutions of a one parameter family of nonlinear fractional differential equation with mixed boundary value conditions. Riemann-Liouville fractional derivative is considered. An…
By means of fixed point index theory for multi-valued maps, we provide an analogue of the classical Birkhoff--Kellogg Theorem in the context of discontinuous operators acting on affine wedges in Banach spaces. Our theory is fairly general…
In this short note we prove, by means of classical fixed point index, an affine version of a Birkhoff--Kellogg type theorem in cones. We apply our result to discuss the solvability of a class of boundary value problems for functional…
By means of a recent Birkhoff-Kellogg type theorem, we discuss the solvability of a fairly general class of parameter-dependent fourth order retarded differential equations subject to functional boundary conditions. We seek solutions within…

A weak version of Birkhoff's generalization of the Perron-Frobenius theorem states that every endomorphism of a finite-dimensional real vector that leaves invariant a non-degenerate closed convex cone has an eigenvector in that cone. Here,…
Very recently, motivated by the result of Bhatia and \v{S}emrl which characterizes the Birkhoff-James orthogonality of operators on a finite dimensional Hilbert space in terms of norm attaining points, the Bhatia-\v{S}emrl property was…
The Perron-Frobenius theory for nonnegative matrices has been generalized to order-preserving homogeneous mappings on a cone and more recently to nonnegative multilinear forms. We unify both approaches by introducing the concept of…
In this paper, we consider the following Kirchhoff type equation $$ -\left(a+ b\int_{\R^3}|\nabla u|^2\right)\triangle {u}+V(x)u=f(u),\,\,x\in\R^3, $$ where $a,b>0$ and $f\in C(\R,\R)$, and the potential $V\in C^1(\R^3,\R)$ is positive,…
It is well-known that the classical hyperbolic Kirchhoff equation admits infinitely many simple modes, namely time-periodic solutions with only one Fourier component in the space variables. In this paper we assume that, for a suitable…
The classic result of Perron and Frobenius states that if $A$ and $B$ are matrices with nonnegative elements, such that $A \leq B$, $A$ is irreducible, and $\rho(A) = \rho(B)$ then $A = B$. We extend this result to a large class of band…
It is well known from the Perron-Frobenius theory that the spectral gap of a positive square matrix is positive. In this paper, we give a more quantitative characterization of the spectral gap. More specifically, using a complex extension…
To prove that a measure, linearly representable by means of a finite set of nonnegative matrices $\mathcal M$, has the weak-Gibbs property, one check the uniform convergence (on $\mathcal M^\mathbb N$) of the sequence of vectors…
In this paper we give an extension of the Birkhoff--Lewis theorem to some semilinear PDEs. Accordingly we prove existence of infinitely many periodic orbits with large period accumulating at the origin. Such periodic orbits bifurcate from…
We study well-posedness and long-time dynamics of a class of quasilinear wave equations with a strong damping. We accept the Kirchhoff hypotheses and assume that the stiffness and damping coefficients are $C^1$ functions of the $L_2$-norm…
