Monotonicity of solutions is an important property in the investigation of oscillatory behaviors of differential equations. A number of papers provide some existence criteria for eventually positive increasing solutions. However, relatively little attention is paid to eventually positive solutions that are also eventually decreasing solutions. For this reason, we establish several new and sharp...

Necessary and suucient conditions for minimality of descriptor representations of impulsive-smooth behaviors are derived. We obtain a complete set of transformations by which minimal descriptor representations that give rise to the same behavior can be transformed into each other. In particular this leads to a jump-behavioral interpretation of the notion of strong equivalence of descriptor repr...
