We consider boundary value problems for nonlinear $2m$th-order eigenvalue problem $$\begin{array}{cc}\hfill {(-1)}^m{u}^{\left(2m\right)}\left(t\right)& =\lambda a\left(t\right)f\left(u\right(t\left)\right),0<t<1,\hfill \\ \hfill u^{\left(2i\right)}\left(0\right)& =u^{\left(2i\right)}\left(1\right)=0,i=0,1,2,\cdots ,m-1.\hfill \end{array}$$ where $a\in C\left(\right[0,1],[0,\infty \left)\right)$ and $a\left(t_0\right)>0$ for some $t_0\in [0,1]$, $f\in C\left(\right[0,\infty ),[0,\infty \left)\right)$ and $f\left(s\right)>0$ for $s>0$, and $f_0=\infty$, where $f_0={lim}_{s\to 0^{+}}f\left(s\right)/s$. We investigate the global structure of positive solutions by using Rabinowitz’s global bifurcation theorem.

This paper addresses the Cauchy problem for the gradient flow equation in a Hilbert space $\mathscr{H}$$$\left\{\begin{array}{c}{u}^{}\hfill \end{array}\right.$$

A classical result on the existence of global attractors for gradient systems is extended to the case of a semigroup S(t) lacking strong continuity, but satisfying the weaker property of being a closed map for every fixed t ≥ 0.

We consider the equation $$-{\left(r\left(x\right)y^{\text{'}}\left(x\right)\right)}^{\text{'}}+q\left(x\right)y\left(x\right)=f\left(x\right),x\in ℝ,$$ where $f\in L_p\left(ℝ\right)$, $p\in (1,\infty )$ and $$r>0,\frac{1}{r}\in L_1^{\mathrm{loc}}\left(ℝ\right),q\in L_1^{\mathrm{loc}}\left(ℝ\right).$$ For particular equations of this form, we suggest some methods for the study of the question on requirements to the functions $r$ and $q$ under which the above equation is correctly solvable in the space $L_p\left(ℝ\right),$$p\in (1...$
