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.

Opial inequalities on time scales

Martin Bohner, Bıllûr Kaymakçalan (2001)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We present a version of Opial's inequality for time scales and point out some of its applications to so-called dynamic equations. Such dynamic equations contain both differential equations and difference equations as special cases. Various extensions of our inequality are offered as well.

Opial's type inequalities on time scales and some applications

S. H. Saker (2012)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

We prove some new Opial type inequalities on time scales and employ them to prove several results related to the spacing between consecutive zeros of a solution or between a zero of a solution and a zero of its derivative for second order dynamic equations on time scales. We also apply these inequalities to obtain a lower bound for the smallest eigenvalue of a Sturm-Liouville eigenvalue problem on time scales. The results contain as special cases some results obtained for second order differential...
