Iterative oscillation tests for differential equations with several non-monotone arguments

New oscillation criterion for delay differential equations with non-monotone arguments

Differential equations with several deviating arguments: Sturmian comparison method in oscillation theory, II

We study the oscillation of solutions to the differential equation ẋ(t) + a1(t)x[r(t)] + a2(t)x[p(t)] = 0, t ≥ t0 which has a retarded argument r(t) and an advanced argument p(t). We obtain oscillation and non-oscillation conditions which are closed to be necessary. We provide examples to show that our results are best possible and compare them with known results.

Oscillation of nonlinear impulsive differential equations with piecewise constant arguments

denotes the greatest integer function, and x−1, x0 are given real numbers. Since 1980’s differential equations with piecewise constant arguments have attracted great deal of attention of researchers in mathematical and some of the others fields in science. Piecewise constant systems exist in a widely expanded areas such as biomedicine, chemistry, mechanical engineering, physics, etc. These kind...

General uniqueness and monotone iterative technique for fractional differential equations

In this paper, the general existence and uniqueness result is proved which exhibits the idea of comparison principle. This result is also valid for fractional differential equations in a Banach space. The well-known monotone iterative technique is then extended for fractional differential equations which provides computable monotone sequences that converge to the extremal solutions in a sector ...
