An eigenvalue theorem for nonlinear second-order differential equations

An Oscillation Theorem for a Second Order Nonlinear Differential Equations with Variable Potential

We obtain a new oscillation theorem for the nonlinear secondorder differential equation (a(t)x′(t))′ + p(t)f(t, x(t), x′(t)) + q(t)g(x(t)) = 0, t ∈ [0,∞), via the generalization of Leighton’s variational theorem.

Singular Eigenvalue Problems for Second Order Linear Ordinary Differential Equations

We consider linear differential equations of the form (p(t)x′)′ + λq(t)x = 0 (p(t) > 0, q(t) > 0) (A) on an infinite interval [a,∞) and study the problem of finding those values of λ for which (A) has principal solutions x0(t;λ) vanishing at t = a. This problem may well be called a singular eigenvalue problem, since requiring x0(t;λ) to be a principal solution can be considered as a boundary co...

Initial value problems for second order hybrid fuzzy differential equations

Usage of fuzzy differential equations (FDEs) is a natural way to model dynamical systems under possibilistic uncertainty. We consider second order hybrid fuzzy differentia

Second-order Differential Equations and Nonlinear Connections

The main purposes of this article are to extend our previous results on homogeneous sprays [15] to arbitrary secondorder differential equations, to show that locally diffeomorphic exponential maps can be defined for any of them, and to give a (possibly nonlinear) covariant derivative for any (possibly nonlinear) connection. In the process, we introduce vertically homogeneous connections. Unlike...
