Modeling the role of constant and time varying recycling delay on an ecological food chain
We consider a mathematical model of nutrient-autotroph-herbivore interaction with nutrient recycling from both autotroph and herbivore. Local and global stability criteria of the model are studied in terms of system parameters. Next we incorporate the time required for recycling of nutrient from herbivore as a constant discrete time delay. The resulting DDE model is analyzed regarding stability and bifurcation aspects. Finally, we assume the recycling delay in the oscillatory form to model the...
Monotone method for nonlinear second order periodic boundary value problems with Carathéodory functions
The purpose of this paper is to study the periodic boundary value problem -u''(t) = f(t,u(t),u'(t)), u(0) = u(2π), u'(0) = u'(2π) when f satisfies the Carathéodory conditions. We show that a generalized upper and lower solution method is still valid, and develop a monotone iterative technique for finding minimal and maximal solutions.

Monotonicity of the period function for some planar differential systems. Part I: Conservative and quadratic systems
We first examine conditions implying monotonicity of the period function for potential systems with a center at 0 (in the whole period annulus). We also present a short comparative survey of the different criteria. We apply these results to quadratic Loud systems for various values of the parameters D and F. In the case of noncritical periods we propose an algorithm to test the monotonicity of the period function for . Our results may be viewed as a contribution to proving (or disproving) a conjecture...
Monotonicity of the period function for some planar differential systems. Part II: Liénard and related systems
We are interested in conditions under which the two-dimensional autonomous system ẋ = y, ẏ = -g(x) - f(x)y, has a local center with monotonic period function. When f and g are (non-odd) analytic functions, Christopher and Devlin [C-D] gave a simple necessary and sufficient condition for the period to be constant. We propose a simple proof of their result. Moreover, in the case when f and g are of class C³, the Liénard systems can have a monotonic period function...

Multiple positive solutions of a nonlinear fourth order periodic boundary value problem
The fourth order periodic boundary value problem , 0 < t < 2π, with , i = 0,1,2,3, is studied by using the fixed point index of mappings in cones, where F is a nonnegative continuous function and 0 < m < 1. Under suitable conditions on F, it is proved that the problem has at least two positive solutions if m ∈ (0,M), where M is the smallest positive root of the equation tan mπ = -tanh mπ, which takes the value 0.7528094 with an error of .
Multiple solutions for a nonlinear second order differential equation
Multiple solutions for nonlinear periodic problems with discontinuities
In this paper we consider a periodic problem driven by the one dimensional -Laplacian and with a discontinuous right hand side. We pass to a multivalued problem, by filling in the gaps at the discontinuity points. Then for the multivalued problem, using the nonsmooth critical point theory, we establish the existence of at least three distinct periodic solutions.

Multi-type synchronization of impulsive coupled oscillators via topology degree
The existence of synchronization is an important issue in complex dynamical networks. In this paper, we study the synchronization of impulsive coupled oscillator networks with the aid of rotating periodic solutions of impulsive system. The type of synchronization is closely related to the rotating matrix, which gives an insight for finding various types of synchronization in a united way. We transform the synchronization of impulsive coupled oscillators into the existence of rotating periodic solutions...
