The influence of argument delay on oscillatory properties of a second-order differential equation
The problem was motivated by Borůvka’s definitions of the carrier and the associated carrier. The inverse carrier problem is precisely defined and partially solved. Examples are given.
We describe the nonlinear limit-point/limit-circle problem for the -th order differential equation 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.
In the first part of this paper we establish the theory of rapid variation on time scales, which corresponds to existing theory from continuous and discrete cases. We introduce two definitions of rapid variation on time scales. We will study their properties and then show the relation between them. In the second part of this paper, we establish necessary and sufficient conditions for all positive solutions of the second order half-linear dynamic equations on time scales to be rapidly varying. Note...
A survey of investigations of linear differential equations from the point of view of transformations is described. These investigations started in the middle of the last century and continued till the present time. Essential step was done in the fifties by O. Borvka, who started global investigations of the second order equations.
