The paper describes the general form of an ordinary differential equation of the second order which allows a nontrivial global transformation consisting of the change of the independent variable and of a nonvanishing factor. A result given by J. Aczél is generalized. A functional equation of the form is solved on for ,
Let f: ℝⁿ → ℝ be a C² semialgebraic function and let c be an asymptotic critical value of f. We prove that there exists a smallest rational number such that |x|·|∇f| and are separated at infinity. If c is a regular value and , then f is a locally trivial fibration over c, and the trivialisation is realised by the flow of the gradient field of f.
This paper is concerned with square integrable quasi-derivatives for any solution of a general quasi-differential equation of th order with complex coefficients , provided that all th quasi-derivatives of solutions of and all solutions of its normal adjoint are in and under suitable conditions on the function .
We study the continuous and discontinuous planar piecewise differential systems separated by a straight line and formed by an arbitrary linear system and a class of quadratic center. We show that when these piecewise differential systems are continuous, they can have at most one limit cycle. However, when the piecewise differential systems are discontinuous, we show that they can have at most two limit cycles, and that there exist such systems with two limit cycles. Therefore, in particular, we...
We discuss Lyapunov stability/instability of both lower and upper equilibria of free damped pendulum with periodically oscillating suspension point. We recall the results of Bogolyubov and Kapitza, provide new effective criteria of stability/instability of the equilibria of pendulum equation, and give the exact and complete proofs. The criteria obtained are formulated in terms of positivity/negativity of Green's functions of the periodic boundary value problems for linearized equations. Furthermore,...
We prove several results on lower bounds for the periods of periodic solutions of some classes of functional-differential equations in Hilbert and Banach spaces and difference inclusions in Hilbert spaces.
