On a generalization of the Osgood condition.
We consider the following Volterra equation: (1) u(x) = ∫0 x k(x-s) g(u(s)) ds, where, k: [0, δ0] → R is an increasing absolutely continuous function such that k(0) = 0 g: [0,+ ∞) → [0,+ ∞) is an increasing absolutely continuous function such that g(0) = 0 and g(u)/u → ∞ as u → 0+ (see [3]). Let us note that (1) has always the trivial...
In mathematical models of some physical phenomena a new class of nonlinear Volterra equations appears ([5],[6]). The equations belonging to this class have u = 0 as a solution (trivial solution), but with respect to their physical meaning, nonnegative nontrivial solutions are of prime importance.
