We analyze an ordinary differential system with a hysteresis-relay nonlinearity in two cases when the system is autonomous or nonautonomous. Sufficient conditions for both the continuous dependence on the system parameters and the boundedness of the solutions to the system are obtained. We give a supporting example for the autonomous system.

This paper is concerned with asymptotic analysis of strongly decaying solutions of the third-order singular differential equation $x^{\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}}+q\left(t\right)x^{-\gamma }=0$, by means of regularly varying functions, where $\gamma$ is a positive constant and $q$ is a positive continuous function on $[a,\infty )$. It is shown that if $q$ is a regularly varying function, then it is possible to establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of slowly varying solutions and regularly varying solutions of (A) which decrease to $0$ as $t\to \infty$ and to acquire...

For linear differential equations of the second order in the Jacobi form $$y^{\text{'}\text{'}}+p\left(x\right)y=0$$ O. Borvka introduced a notion of dispersion. Here we generalize this notion to certain classes of linear differential equations of arbitrary order. Connection with Abel’s functional equation is derived. Relations between asymptotic behaviour of solutions of these equations and distribution of zeros of their solutions are also investigated.

Dynamical systems with several equilibria occur in various fields of science and engineering: electrical machines, chemical reactions, economics, biology, neural networks. As pointed out by many researchers, good results on qualitative behaviour of such systems may be obtained if a Liapunov function is available. Fortunately for almost all systems cited above the Liapunov function is associated in a natural way as an energy of a certain kind and it is at least nonincreasing along systems solutions....

We apply Max Müller's Theorem to second order equations u'' = f(t,u,u') to obtain solutions between given functions v,w.

We study asymptotic properties of solutions for a system of second differential equations with $p$-Laplacian. The main purpose is to investigate lower estimates of singular solutions of second order differential equations with $p$-Laplacian ${\left(A\left(t\right){\Phi }_p\left(y^{\text{'}}\right)\right)}^{\text{'}}+B\left(t\right)g\left(y^{\text{'}}\right)+R\left(t\right)f\left(y\right)=e\left(t\right)$. Furthermore, we obtain results for a scalar equation.

We consider the nonlinear Dirichlet problem $$-u^{\text{'}\text{'}}-r\left(x\right){\left|u\right|}^{\sigma }u=\lambda u\text{in}(0,\infty ),u\left(0\right)=0\text{and}\underset{x\to \infty }{lim}u\left(x\right)=0,$$ and develop conditions for the function $r$ such that the considered problem has a positive classical solution. Moreover, we present some results showing that $\lambda =0$ is a bifurcation point in $W^{1,2}(0,\infty )$ and in $L^p(0,\infty )(2\le p\le \infty )$.
