A Global Stability Criterion for Scalar Functional Differential Equations
We consider scalar delay differential equations x′(t) = −δx(t)+f(t, xt) (∗) with nonlinear f satisfying a sort of negative feedback condition combined with a boundedness condition. The well-known Mackey–Glass-type equations, equations satisfying the Yorke condition, and equations with maxima all fall within our considerations. Here, we establish a criterion for the global asymptotical stability...
متن کاملNonoscillation and disconjugacy of systems of linear differential equations
The differential equations under consideration are of the form (1) §f = A(t)x, where A(t) is a piecewise continuous real nxn-matrix on a real interval a, and the vector x = (x-j...,x ) is continuous on a. The equation is said to be nonoscillatory on a if every nontrivial real solution vector x has at least one component xv which does not vanish on a. The principal concern of this paper is the d...
متن کاملLinear Differential Operators for Polynomial Equations
The results of this paper spring from the elementary fact that an algebraic function satisfies a linear differential equation. Let k0 be a number field and k0 be its algebraic closure. Let P ∈ k0(x)[y] be a squarefree polynomial of degree n in y. The derivation δ = d dx extends uniquely to the algebraic closure k0(x) of k0(x). We define the minimal operator associated with P to be the monic dif...
متن کاملA Criterion for Hill Operators to Be Spectral Operators of Scalar Type Fritz Gesztesy and Vadim Tkachenko
We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a Hill operator (i.e., a one-dimensional periodic Schrödinger operator) H = −d/dx + V to be a spectral operator of scalar type. The conditions show the remarkable fact that the property of a Hill operator being a spectral operator is independent of smoothness (or even analyticity) properties of the potential V . In the course of our analysis we ...
متن کاملCriteria for Disfocality and Disconjugacy for Third Order Differential Equations∗
In this paper, lower bounds for the spacing (b− a) of the zeros of the solutions and the zeros of the derivative of the solutions of third order differential equations of the form y + q(t)y + p(t)y = 0 (∗) are derived under the some assumptions on p and q. The concept of disfocality is introduced for third order differential equations (*). This helps to improve the Liapunov-type inequality, whe...
