Monotone trajectories of dynamical systems and Clarke's generalized Jacobian.
Sufficient conditions are established for ultimate boundedness of solutions of certain nonlinear vector differential equations of third-order. Our result improves on Tunc’s [C. Tunc, On the stability and boundedness of solutions of nonlinear vector differential equations of third order].
A differential equation of the form (q(t)k(u)u')' = λf(t)h(u)u' depending on the positive parameter λ is considered and nonnegative solutions u such that u(0) = 0, u(t) > 0 for t > 0 are studied. Some theorems about the existence, uniqueness and boundedness of solutions are given.
