In the paper it is shown that each solution $u(r,\alpha )$ ot the initial value problem (2), (3) has a finite limit for $r\to \infty$, and an asymptotic formula for the nontrivial solution $u(r,\alpha )$ tending to 0 is given. Further, the existence of such a solutions is established by examining the number of zeros of two different solutions $u(r,\overline{\alpha })$, $u(r,\widehat{\alpha })$.

We consider a neutral type operator differential inclusion and apply the topological degree theory for condensing multivalued maps to justify the question of existence of its periodic solution. By using the averaging method, we apply the abstract result to an inclusion with a small parameter. As example, we consider a delay control system with the distributed control.

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.

We investigate the nonautonomous periodic system of ODE’s of the form $\dot{x}=\overrightarrow{v}\left(x\right)+r_p\left(t\right)(\overrightarrow{w}\left(x\right)-\overrightarrow{v}\left(x\right))$, where $r_p\left(t\right)$ is a $2p$-periodic function defined by $r_p\left(t\right)=0$ for $t\in \langle 0,p\rangle$, $r_p\left(t\right)=1$ for $t\in (p,2p)$ and the vector fields $\overrightarrow{v}$ and $\overrightarrow{w}$ are related by an involutive diffeomorphism.

Sufficient conditions are formulated for existence of non-oscillatory solutions to the equation $$y^{\left(n\right)}+\sum _{j=0}^{n-1}{a}_j\left(x\right)y^{\left(j\right)}+p\left(x\right){\left|y\right|}^k\mathrm{sgn}y=0$$ with $n\ge 1$, real (not necessarily natural) $k>1$, and continuous functions $p\left(x\right)$ and $a_j\left(x\right)$ defined in a neighborhood of $+\infty$. For this equation with positive potential $p\left(x\right)$ a criterion is formulated for existence of non-oscillatory solutions with non-zero limit at infinity. In the case of even order, a criterion is obtained for all solutions of this equation at infinity to be oscillatory. Sufficient conditions are obtained...
