1. Introduction

Many nonlinear equations can be seen as a problem of fixed point N(u)=u, where N is a certain operator. One says that the equation has a variational form if it is equivalent with a critical point equation E(u)=0. In the paper  [7], R. Precup studied systems of the form

{N1(u,v)=uN2(u,v)=v (1.1)

in a Hilbert space, where each of the equations has a variational form, i.e. there are two C1 functionals E1 and E2 such that E11(u,v)=uN1(u,v) and E22(u,v)=vN2(u,v), where E11 and E22 are the partial Fréchet derivatives of E1 and E2 with respect to u and v, respectively. Sufficient conditions have been established for that the system admits a solution which is a Nash type equilibrium for the functionals E1 and E2, that is

E1(u,v) = infuE(,v),
E2(u,v) = infvE(u,).

Related results are obtained in [1].

The concept of a Nash equilibrium goes back to 1838 when Antoine Augustin Cournot [3] used it in his economics studies about the best output of a firm depending on the outputs of the other firms. The existence of such an equilibrium in the framework of the game theory was proved later in 1951 by John Forbes Nash Jr [5] by using Brouwer’s fixed point theorem. Now the concept is also used outside economics to systems of variational equations. From a physical point of view, a Nash-type equilibrium (u,v) for two interconnected mechanisms whose energies are E1,E2 is such that the motion of each mechanism is conformed to the minimum energy principle by taking into account the motion of the other.

Also, in the paper [2], a system of type (1.1) is studied under the assumption that only one of the equations, say the second one, has a variational form, and the authors prove the existence of a solution (u,v) such that v minimizes E(u,), where E is the energy functional associated with the second equation. For the proof, they use a hybrid fixed point - critical point method based on Banach’s contraction theorem and Ekeland’s variational principle.

The aim of this paper is to combine the techniques used in [7] and [2], for the study of a system of three equations

{N1(u,v,w)=uN2(u,v,w)=vN3(u,v,w)=w,

where only the last two equations have a variational form. Our goal is to obtain a solution (u,v,w) such that the pair (v,w) is a Nash type equilibrium for the two functionals associated to the last two equations.

2. Main result

Let (X1,d) be a complete metric space and (X2,||2), (X3,||3) be two real Hilbert spaces which are identified with their duals. Denote X:=X1×X2×X3. Let Ni:XXi (i=1,2,3)be continuous and assume that N2,N3 have a variational structure, i.e. there exist functionals E2,E3:X such that E2(u,,w) is Fréchet differentiable for every (u,w)X1×X3, E3(u,v,) is Fréchet differentiable for every (u,v)X1×X2 and

E22(u,v,w) = vN2(u,v,w),
E33(u,v,w) = wN3(u,v,w).

Here E22, E33 are the Fréchet derivatives of E2(u,,w) and E3(u,v,), respectively.

We also assume that the operator N:XX,

N(u,v,w)=(N1(u,v,w),N2(u,v,w),N3(u,v,w))

is a Perov contraction, i.e. there is a square matrix A=[aij]1i,j3𝐌3(+) such that Ak tends to the zero matrix 03 as k and the following vector Lipschitz condition is satisfied

[d(N1(u,v,w),N1(u¯,v¯,w¯))|N2(u,v,w)N2(u¯,v¯,w¯)|2|N3(u,v,w)N3(u¯,v¯,w¯)|3]A[d(u,u¯)|vv¯|2|ww¯|3] (2.1)

for every (u,v,w)X.

Note that the for a square matrix A𝐌n(+), condition Ak tends to the zero matrix 0n as k is equivalent (see [6]) to each one of the following properties:

(i) The spectral radius of A is less than one;

(ii) InA is invertible and (InA)1𝐌n(+);

(iii) InA is invertible and In+M+M2+=(InA)1.

Here In stands for the unit matrix in 𝐌n().

The main result is the following theorem.

Theorem 2.1.

Assume that the above conditions are satisfied. Moreover assume that E2(u,,w),E3(u,v,) are bounded from below for every (u,v,w)X and that are constants R2,R3,a>0 such that

E2(u,v,w)infX2E2(u,,w)+a for all (u,w)X1×X3 and |v|2R2, (2.2)
E3(u,v,w)infX3E3(u,v,)+a for all (u,v)X1×X2 and |w|3R3. (2.3)

Then the unique fixed point (u,v,w) ensured by the Perov contraction theorem has the property that (v,w) is a Nash type equilibrium for the pair of functionals (E2,E3), i.e.

E2(u,v,w) = infX2E2(u,,w),
E3(u,v,w) = infX3E3(u,v,).

For the proof we need alternatively one of the following two auxiliary results.

Lemma 2.2.

Let (Ak,p)k1,(Bk,p)k1 be two sequences of vectors in +n (column vectors) depending on a parameter p, such that

Ak,pMAk1,p+Bk,p

for all k and p, where M𝐌n(+) is a matrix with spectral radius less than one. If the sequence (Ak,p)k1 is bounded uniformly with respect to p and Bk,p0n as k uniformly with respect to p, then Ak,p0n as k uniformly with respect to p.

Proof.

Since Bk,p0n as k uniformly with respect to p, for any fixed column vector ϵ(0,)n, we can find k1 independent of p such that Bk,pϵ for all kk1 and all p. Then, for k>k1 we have

Ak,p MAk1,p+ϵM2Ak2,p+ϵ+Mϵ
Mkk1Ak1,p+ϵ(In+M+Mkk1)
Mkk1Ak1,p+ϵ(InM)1.

The conclusion now follows since (Ak,p)k1 is bounded uniformly with respect to p and Mkk10n as k.

Lemma 2.3.

Let (xk,p)k1,(yk,p)k1 be two sequences of nonnegative real numbers depending on a parameter p which are bounded uniformly with respect to p. Assume that for all k and p,

axk,p+byk,paxk1,p+byk1,p+qk,p

where 0<a<a, 0b<b, ba<ba, and (qk,p)k1 is a sequence of positive real numbers converging to zero uniformly with respect to p. Then xk,p0 and yk,p0 as k uniformly with respect to p.

Proof.

By the uniform convergence to zero of qk,p , taking ϵ>0, we can find k1 independent of p, such that qk,pa<ϵ for all k>k1. Consider k>k1 and assume a>b. Then

xk,p+bayk,p aa(xk1,p+bayk1,p)+ϵaa(xk1,p+bayk1,p)+ϵ
(aa)2(xk2,p+bayk2,p)+ϵ(aa+1)
(aa)kk1(xk1,p+bayk1,p)+ϵ((aa)kk11++1)
(aa)kk1(xk1,p+bayk1,p)+ϵ11aa.

Taking into account that aa<1 and the boundedness of xk,p and yk,p, it is clear that xk,p+bayk,p0 as k uniformly with respect to p. This clearly gives the conclusion. The case a<b can be treated analogously. ∎

Proof of the theorem.

First note that since the spectral radius of matrix A is less than one, the elements aii of the main diagonal are less than one. Consequently, for every (v,w)X2×X3, the operator N1(,v,w):X1X1 is a contraction. We now use an iterative procedure to construct an approximating sequence (uk,vk,wk). We start with some fixed element (v0,w0)X2×X3. Then, by Banach contraction principle, there exists u1X1 such that N1(u1,v0,w0)=u1. Next, for fixed (u1,w0), according to Ekeland variational principle, there is v1X2 such that

E2(u1,v1,w0)infX2E2(u1,,w0)+1,|E22(u1,v1,w0)|21.

Using again Ekeland variational principle for fixed (u1,v1), there is w1X3 with

E3(u1,v1,w1)infX3E2(u1,v1,)+1,|E33(u1,v1,w1)|31.

At step k, we find a triple (uk,vk,wk) having the following proprieties:

N1(uk,vk1,wk1)=uk, (2.4)
E2(uk,vk,wk1)infX2E2(uk,,wk1)+1k,|E22(uk,vk,wk1)|21k,
E3(uk,vk,wk)infX3E3(uk,vk,)+1k,|E33(uk,vk,wk]|31k.

Our next task is to prove that the sequences uk,vk,wk are Cauchy, which will ensure their convergence. Since N1(uk,vk1,wk1)=uk, we have

d(uk+p,uk) =d(N1(uk+p,vk+p1,wk+p1),N1(uk,vk1,wk1))
a11d(uk+p,uk)+a12|vk+p1vk1|2+a13|wk+p1wk1|3,

whence

d(uk+p,uk)a121a11|vk+p1vk1|2+a131a11|wk+p1wk1|3.

For the sequence (vk) and (wk) we have

|vk+pvk|2 |N2(uk+p,vk+p,wk+p1)+vk+pvk+N2(uk,vk,wk1)|2 (2.5)
+|N2(uk+p,vk+p,wk+p1)N2(uk,vk,wk1)|2,
|wk+pwk|3 |N3(uk+p,vk+p,wk+p)+wk+pwk+N3(uk,vk,wk)|3 (2.6)
+|N3(uk+p,vk+p,wk+p)N3(uk,vk,wk)|3.

Denote

βk,p :=|N2(uk+p,vk+p,wk+p1)+vk+pvk+N2(uk,vk,wk1)|2
=|E22(uk+p,vk+p,wk+p1)E22(uk,vk,wk1))|2,
γk,p :=|N3(uk+p,vk+p,wk+p)+wk+pwk+N3(uk,vk,wk)|3
=|E33(uk+p,vk+p,wk+p)E33(uk,vk,wk))|3,
xk,p:=d(uu+p,uk),yk,p:=|vk+pvk|2,zk,p:=|wk+pwk|3.

With these notations, using (2.5), (2.6) and the Perov contraction condition, we obtain

xk,pa11xk,p+a12yk1,p+a13zk1,p, (2.7)
yk,pa21xk,p+a22yk,p+a23zk1,p+βk,p, (2.8)
zk,pa31xk,p+a32yk,p+a33zk,p+γk,p. (2.9)

For the continuation of the proof we may use either Lemma 2.2 or Lemma 2.3.

1) Use of Lemma 2.2. Letting

A=[a1100a21a220a31a32a33] and A′′=AA,

the following inequality holds

[xk,pyk,pzk,p]A[xk,pyk,pzk,p]+A′′[xk1,pyk1,pzk1,p]+[0βk,pγk,p]. (2.10)

Note that if ρ(A)<1, than also ρ(A)<1. Indeed, one clearly has Ak<Ak, and so if Ak0 as k, then Ak0 too.
Rewriting (2.10) as

(IA)[xk,pyk,pzk,p]A′′[xk1,pyk1,pzk1,p]+[0βk,pγk,p]

and using the fact that IA is invertible and its inverse has positive entries, we can multiply by (IA)1 to obtain

[xk,pyk,pzk,p](IA)1A′′[xk1,pyk1,pzk1,p]+(IA)1[0βk,pγk,p].

Observe that M:=(IA)1A′′ has the spectral radius less than one. To prove this, it is enough to show that IM is invertible with the inverse has nonegative entries.
Is clear that

M =(IA)1A′′=(IA)1(AA)=(IA)1(IA+AI)
=I(IA)1(IA),

hence IM=(IA)1(IA). Because (IA)1 and IA are invertible, by taking Q:=(IA)1(IA), we have Q(IM)=(IM)Q=I, hence IM is invertible and its inverse is Q. One has

Q=(IA)1(IA)=(IA)1(IA+A′′)=I+(IA)1A′′

and since (IA)1A′′ and I are positive matrices, it follows that Q is also positive. Therefore, the spectral radius of M is less than one.
From (2.2) and (2.3) we have that yk,p and zk,p are bounded uniformly with respect to p. Because of this, is immediate that xk,p is also bounded uniformly with respect to p. Moreover, it is clear that

[0βk,pγk,p]

converges to zero uniformly with respect to p. Applying Lemma 2.2 we obtain that xk,p,yk,p,zk,p are convergent to zero uniformly with respect to p. Hence the sequences uk,vk and wk are Cauchy as desired.

2) Use of Lemma 2.3. The relations (2.7),(2.8),(2.9) can be rewritten under the form

xk,pa11xk,p+a12yk,p+a13zk,p+a12(yk1,pyk,p)+a13(zk1,pzk,p),
yk,pa21xk,p+a22yk,p+a23zk,p+βk,p+a23(zk1,pzk,p),
zk,pa31xk,p+a32yk,p+a33zk,p+γk,p,

which can be put under the vector form

[xk,pyk,pzk,p]A[xk,pyk,pzk,p]+[a12(yk1,pyk,p)+a13(zk1,pzk,p)βk,p+a23(zk1,pzk,p)γk,p].

Denoting (IA)1=C=[cij]1i,j3 we have

[xk,pyk,pzk,p]C[a12(yk1,pyk,p)+a13(zk1,pzk,p)βk,p+a23(zk1,pzk,p)γk,p],

whence

yk,p c21a12(yk1,pyk,p)+c21a13(zk1,pzk,p) (2.11)
+c22a23(zk1,pzk,p)+c22βk,p+c33γk,p,
zk,p c31a12(yk1,pyk,p)+c31a13(zk1,pwk,p) (2.12)
+c32a23(zk1,pzk,p)+c32βk,p+c33γk,p.

We make the following notations

a=c12a13+c22a2,3+c31a13+c32a23,
b=c21a12+c31a12.

Adding (2.11) and (2.12) we obtain

yk,p+zk,payk1,payk,p+bzk1,pbzk,p+c22βk,p+c33γk,p+c32βk,p+c33γk,p,

whence, with the notations a=1+a, b=1+b and qk,p:=c22βk,p+c33γk,p+c32βk,p+c33γk,p, one has

ayk,p+bzk,payk1,p+bzk1,p+qk,p.

Note that the sequence qk,p:=c22βk,p+c33γk,p+c32βk,p+c33γk,p converges to zero as k uniformly with respect to p, and that from (2.2) and (2.3), the sequences (yk,p)k1,(zk,p)k1 are bounded uniformly with respect to p. Also note that if b<a, then ba<ba and from Lemma 2.3 we obtain that yk,p and zk,p converge to zero as k uniformly with respt to p. Similarly, if a<b, then we obtain the same conclusion if we apply Lemma 2.3 by interchanging a with b and yk,p with zk,p. Next, from (2.7) we deduce that xk,p0 as k uniformly with respect to p, and as above, that the sequences uk,vk and wk are Cauchy as desired.

Finally the limits u,v,w of the sequences uk,vk and wk give the desired solution of the system after passing to the limit in (2.4). ∎

3. Application

Consider the system

{u′′+a12u=f1(t,u(t),v(t),w(t),u(t))v′′+a22v=yf2(t,u(t),v(t),w(t))w′′+a32w=zf3(t,u(t),v(t),w(t)) (3.1)

with the periodic conditions

u(0)u(T) = u(0)u(T)=0,
v(0)v(T) = v(0)v(T)=0,
w(0)w(T) = w(0)w(T)=0,

where f2,f3:(0,T)×k1×k2×k3 and f1:(0,T)×k1×k2×k3×k1k1. We will assume that f1,f2,f3,yf2 and zf3 are L1- Carathéodory functions.


For i=1,2,3, let Hp1(0,T;ki) be the closure in H1(0,T;ki) of the space {uC1([0,T];ki):  u(0)=u(T), u(0)=u(T)}. We shall endow this space with the inner product

(u,v)i:=(u,v)L2(0,T;ki)+ai2(u,v)L2(0,T;ki)

and the corresponding norm

|u|i=(|u|L2(0,T;ki)2+ai2|u|L2(0,T;ki)2)12.

Also we consider the operator Ji:(Hp1(0,T;ki))Hp1(0,T;ki) given by Jih=uh(h(Hp1(0,T;ki))), where uhHp1(0,T;ki) is the weak solution of the problem

{u′′+ai2u=hon (0,T)u(0)u(T)=u(0)u(T)=0 (3.2)

For every hL2([0,T];ki) we have

|Jih|i2=(Jih,Jih)i=(h,Jih)L2|h|L2|Jih|L21ai|h|L2|Jih|i, (3.3)

hence

|J1h1|i1ai|h|L2.

Associate to the second and the third equation from (3.1) the functionals

E2,E3:Hp1(0,T;k1)×Hp1(0,T;k2)×Hp1(0,T;k3)

defined by

E2(u,v,w)=12|v|220Tf2(t,u(t),v(t),w(t))𝑑t

and

E3(u,v,w)=12|w|320Tf3(t,u(t),v(t),w(t))𝑑t.

According to [4, Theorem 1.4] we have

E22(u,v,w)=L2vyf2(,u,v,w),

or equivalently, for any φHp1(0,T;k2),

(E22(u,v,w),φ) = (L2v,φ)(yf2(u,v,w,u,w),φ)
= (vJ2yf2,φ)2.

Hence

E22(u,v,w)=vJ2yf2.

Similarly,

E33(u,v,w)=wJ3zf3.

On the other hand, system (3.1) is equivalent to the following fixed point equation

{N1(u,v,w)=uN2(u,v,w)=vN3(u,v,w)=w

where

N1(u,v,w) = J1f1(,u,v,w,u),
N2(u,v,w) = J2yf2(,u,v,w),
N3(u,v,w) = J3zf3(,u,v,w).

Related to f1,f2,f3 we assume that the following Lipschitz conditions hold for some constants aij:

|f1(t,x1,,x4)f1(t,x1¯,,x4¯)|j=14a1j|xjxj¯|, (3.4)
|yf2(t,x1,x2,x3)yf2(t,x1¯,x2¯,x3¯)|j=13a2j|xjxj¯|, (3.5)
|zf3(t,x1,x2,x3)zf3(x1¯,x2¯,x3¯)|j=13a3j|xjxj¯|. (3.6)

Then

|N1(u,v,w)N1(u¯,v¯,w¯)|1=|J1(f1(,u,v,w,u)f1(,u¯,v¯,w¯,u¯))|1
1a1|f1(,u,v,w,u)f1(,u¯,v¯,w¯,u¯)|L2
1a1(0T(a11|u(t)u¯(t)|+a14|u(t)u¯(t)|)2𝑑t)12
+a12a1|vv¯|L2+a13a1|ww¯|L2
1a1((a11a1)2+a142)12|uu¯|1+a12a1|vv¯|L2+a13a1|ww¯|L2.

Is clear that |vv¯|L21a2|vv¯|2 and |ww¯|L21a3|ww¯|3. Hence, the above inequality becomes

|N1(u,v,w)N1(u¯,v¯,w¯)|1
1a1((a11a1)2+a142)12|uu¯|1+a12a1a2|vv¯|2+a13a1a3|ww¯|3.

For N2(u,v,w) we obtain the following estimate

|N2(u,v,w)N2(u¯,v¯,w¯)|2 |J2yf2(,u,v,w)yf2(,u¯,v¯,w¯)|2
1a2|yf2(,u,v,w)yf2(,u¯,v¯,w¯)|L2
a21a2|uu¯|L2+a22a2|vv¯|L2+a23a2|ww¯|L2
a21a2a1|uu¯|1+a22a22|vv¯|2+a23a2a3|ww¯|3.

Similarly

|N3(u,v,w)N3(u¯,v¯,w¯)|3a31a3a1|uu¯|1+a32a2a3|vv¯|2+a33a32|ww¯|3.

Therefore, the condition related to (2.1) holds provided that the spectral radius of the matrix

A=[1a1((a11a1)2+a142)12a12a1a2a13a1a3a21a2a1a22a22a23a2a3a31a3a1a32a2a3a33a32] (3.7)

is less than one.

In what follows we are trying to establish conditions for E2(u,,w) and E3(u,v,) to be bounded from below. To this aim, assume that for i{2,3}and j{1,2,3,4}, there are σijL1(0,T;+) and γi with γi2<ai22 such that

f2(t,x,y,z)γ22|y|2+σ21(t)|x|+σ22(t)|y|+σ23(t)|z|+σ24(t) (3.8)

and

f3(t,x,y,z)γ32|z|2+σ31(t)|x|+σ32(t)|y|+σ33(t)|z|+σ34(t). (3.9)

Then taking into account the continuous embedding of Hp1(0,T;ki) into C([0,T];ki), we obtain

E2(u,v,w)=0T(12|v(t)|2+a222|v2(t)|f2(t,u(t),v(t),w(t)))𝑑t
0T(12|v(t)|2+12(a222γ22)v2(t)σ21(t)|u(t)|σ22(t)|v(t)|σ23(t)|w(t)|σ24(t))𝑑t
(12γ22a22)|v|22C21|u|1C22|v|2C23|w|3C24

for some constants C2j, j1,2,3,4. This shows us that E2(u,v,w) as |v|2. Similarly, E3(u,v,w) as |w|3. Thus the functionals E2(u,,w) and E3(u,v,) are coercive. Then, as in [7, Lemma 4.1], these functionals are bounded from bellow.

Finally, assume that for i{2,3}, there are L1-Carathéodory functions gi1,gi2:(0,T)×ki of coercive type such that

g21(t,y)f2(t,x,y,z)g22(t,y) (3.10)

and

g31(t,z)f3(t,x,y,z)g32(t,z) (3.11)

for all for all (x,y,z)k1×k2×k3 and t(0,T). Here, for example, by the coercivity of g21(t,y) we mean that

12|v|220Tg21(t,v)𝑑tas |v|2.

Fix a>0. Using the above assumption one has

infvHp1E2(u,,w)+ainfvHp1(12|v|220Tg21(t,v)𝑑t)+a.

By the coercivity of g22, there exists R2>0 such that

infvHp1(12|v|220Tg21(t,v)𝑑t)+a12|v|220Tg22(t,v)𝑑t,

for all |v|2R2. Now, for |v|2R2 and all (u,w)Hp1(0,T;k1)×Hp1(0,T;k3), using again (3.10) we obtain

E2(u,v,w)12|v|220Tg22(t,v)𝑑tinfvHp1E2(u,,w)+a,

as desired. The similar inequality for E3 can be established analogously.

Under the assumptions (3.4), (3.5),(3.6), (3.8), (3.9), (3.10), (3.11) and if the spectral radius of matrix (3.7) is less than one, then all the hypotheses of Theorem 2.1 are fulfilled.
