Positive solutions of third order damped nonlinear differential equations

Miroslav Bartušek, Mariella Cecchi, Zuzana Došlá, Mauro Marini (2011)

Mathematica Bohemica

We study solutions tending to nonzero constants for the third order differential equation with the damping term ( a 1 ( t ) ( a 2 ( t ) x ' ( t ) ) ' ) ' + q ( t ) x ' ( t ) + r ( t ) f ( x ( ϕ ( t ) ) ) = 0 in the case when the corresponding second order differential equation is oscillatory.

Principal solutions and transformations of linear Hamiltonian systems

Ondřej Došlý (1992)

Archivum Mathematicum

Sufficient conditions are given which guarantee that the linear transformation converting a given linear Hamiltonian system into another system of the same form transforms principal (antiprincipal) solutions into principal (antiprincipal) solutions.

Problems with one quarter

Ján Ohriska (2005)

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

In this paper two sequences of oscillation criteria for the self-adjoint second order differential equation ( r ( t ) u ' ( t ) ) ' + p ( t ) u ( t ) = 0 are derived. One of them deals with the case d t r ( t ) = , and the other with the case d t r ( t ) < .

Property (A) of n -th order ODE’s

Jozef Džurina (1997)

Mathematica Bohemica

The aim of this paper is to deduce oscillatory and asymptotic behavior of the solutions of the ordinary differential equation L_nu(t)+p(t)u(t)=0.

Quadratic functionals: positivity, oscillation, Rayleigh's principle

Werner Kratz (1998)

Archivum Mathematicum

In this paper we give a survey on the theory of quadratic functionals. Particularly the relationships between positive definiteness and the asymptotic behaviour of Riccati matrix differential equations, and between the oscillation properties of linear Hamiltonian systems and Rayleigh’s principle are demonstrated. Moreover, the main tools form control theory (as e.g. characterization of strong observability), from the calculus of variations (as e.g. field theory and Picone’s identity), and from matrix...

Quadratic functionals with a variable singular end point

Zuzana Došlá, PierLuigi Zezza (1992)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

In this paper we introduce the definition of coupled point with respect to a (scalar) quadratic functional on a noncompact interval. In terms of coupled points we prove necessary (and sufficient) conditions for the nonnegativity of these functionals.
