On strongly monotone flows

Wolfgang Walter (1997)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

M. Hirsch's famous theorem on strongly monotone flows generated by autonomous systems u'(t) = f(u(t)) is generalized to the case where f depends also on t, satisfies Carathéodory hypotheses and is only locally Lipschitz continuous in u. The main result is a corresponding Comparison Theorem, where f(t,u) is quasimonotone increasing in u; it describes precisely for which components equality or strict inequality holds.

On the Existence of Oscillatory Solutions of the Second Order Nonlinear ODE

Martin Rohleder (2012)

Acta Universitatis Palackianae Olomucensis. Facultas Rerum Naturalium. Mathematica

The paper investigates the singular initial problem[4pt] ( p ( t ) u ' ( t ) ) ' + q ( t ) f ( u ( t ) ) = 0 , u ( 0 ) = u 0 , u ' ( 0 ) = 0 [4pt] on the half-line [ 0 , ) . Here u 0 [ L 0 , L ] , where L 0 , 0 and L are zeros of f , which is locally Lipschitz continuous on . Function p is continuous on [ 0 , ) , has a positive continuous derivative on ( 0 , ) and p ( 0 ) = 0 . Function q is continuous on [ 0 , ) and positive on ( 0 , ) . For specific values u 0 we prove the existence and uniqueness of damped solutions of this problem. With additional conditions for f , p and q it is shown that the problem has for each specified u 0 a unique...
