Nonoscillation theorems for forced second order non linear differential equations

John R. GraefPaul W. Spikes — 1975

Atti della Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei. Classe di Scienze Fisiche, Matematiche e Naturali. Rendiconti

Gli Autori provano alcuni nuovi criteri sufficienti, indipendenti da altri criteri da loro ottenuti in precedenza, perché gli integrali dell'equazione ( a ( t ) x ) + q ( t ) f ( x ) g ( x ) = r ( t ) siano tutti non oscillatori.

Global attractivity of the equilibrium of a nonlinear difference equation

John R. GraefC. Qian — 2002

Czechoslovak Mathematical Journal

The authors consider the nonlinear difference equation x n + 1 = α x n + x n - k f ( x n - k ) , n = 0 , 1 , . 1 where α ( 0 , 1 ) , k { 0 , 1 , } and f C 1 [ [ 0 , ) , [ 0 , ) ] ( 0 ) with f ' ( x ) < 0 . They give sufficient conditions for the unique positive equilibrium of (0.1) to be a global attractor of all positive solutions. The results here are somewhat easier to apply than those of other authors. An application to a model of blood cell production is given.

The nonlinear limit-point/limit-circle problem for higher order equations

Miroslav BartušekZuzana DošláJohn R. Graef — 1998

Archivum Mathematicum

We describe the nonlinear limit-point/limit-circle problem for the n -th order differential equation y ( n ) + r ( t ) f ( y , y ' , , y ( n - 1 ) ) = 0 . The results are then applied to higher order linear and nonlinear equations. A discussion of fourth order equations is included, and some directions for further research are indicated.

Second order boundary value problems with sign-changing nonlinearities and nonhomogeneous boundary conditions

The authors consider the boundary value problem with a two-parameter nonhomogeneous multi-point boundary condition u ' ' + g ( t ) f ( t , u ) = 0 , t ( 0 , 1 ) , u ( 0 ) = α u ( ξ ) + λ , u ( 1 ) = β u ( η ) + μ .

Existence results for impulsive fractional differential equations with p -Laplacian via variational methods

John R. GraefShapour HeidarkhaniLingju KongShahin Moradi — 2022

Mathematica Bohemica

This paper presents several sufficient conditions for the existence of at least one classical solution to impulsive fractional differential equations with a p -Laplacian and Dirichlet boundary conditions. Our technical approach is based on variational methods. Some recent results are extended and improved. Moreover, a concrete example of an application is presented.

Existence of nonoscillatory and oscillatory solutions of neutral differential equations with positive and negative coefficients

John R. GraefBo YangBing Gen Zhang — 1999

Mathematica Bohemica

In this paper, we study the existence of oscillatory and nonoscillatory solutions of neutral differential equations of the form x ( t ) - c x ( t - r ) P ( t ) x ( t - θ ) - Q ( t ) x ( t - δ ) =0 where c > 0 , r > 0 , θ > δ 0 are constants, and P , Q C ( + , + ) . We obtain some sufficient and some necessary conditions for the existence of bounded and unbounded positive solutions, as well as some sufficient conditions for the existence of bounded and unbounded oscillatory solutions.

Classification of nonoscillatory solutions of higher order neutral type difference equations

Ethiraju ThandapaniP. SundaramJohn R. GraefA. MicianoPaul W. Spikes — 1995

Archivum Mathematicum

The authors consider the difference equation Δ m [ y n - p n y n - k ] + δ q n y σ ( n + m - 1 ) = 0 ( * ) where m 2 , δ = ± 1 , k N 0 = { 0 , 1 , 2 , } , Δ y n = y n + 1 - y n , q n > 0 , and { σ ( n ) } is a sequence of integers with σ ( n ) n and lim n σ ( n ) = . They obtain results on the classification of the set of nonoscillatory solutions of ( * ) and use a fixed point method to show the existence of solutions having certain types of asymptotic behavior. Examples illustrating the results are included.
