On the embedding theorem
Elements of general theory of infinitely prolonged underdetermined systems of ordinary differential equations are outlined and applied to the equivalence of one-dimensional constrained variational integrals. The relevant infinite-dimensional variant of Cartan’s moving frame method expressed in quite elementary terms proves to be surprisingly efficient in solution of particular equivalence problems, however, most of the principal questions of the general theory remains unanswered. New concepts of...
The author examined non-zero -periodic (in time) solutions for a semilinear beam equation under the condition that the period is an irrational multiple of the length. It is shown that for a.e. (in the sense of the Lebesgue measure on ) the solutions do exist provided the right-hand side of the equation is sublinear.
