On nonlinear second order differential equations

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...

On the stability of linear differential equations of second order

The aim of this paper is to investigate the Hyers-Ulam stability of the  linear differential equation$$y''(x)+alpha y'(x)+beta y(x)=f(x)$$in general case, where $yin C^2[a,b],$  $fin C[a,b]$ and $-infty

On Oscillatory Nonlinear Second Order Neutral Delay Differential Equations

In this work, we investigate the oscillation criteria for second order neutral delay differential equations of the form (r(t)[y(t)+ p(t)y(δ (t))]′)′ +q(t)G(y(τ(t))) = 0 and (r(t)[[y(t)+ p(t)y(δ (t))]′]α )′ +q(t)(yβ (τ(t))) = 0, where α and β are the ratio of odd positive integers.

On Oscillation of Second-Order Nonlinear Neutral Functional Differential Equations

In this paper, some sufficient conditions are established for the oscillation of second-order neutral functional differential equation [ r(t)[x(t)+ p(t)x(τ(t))]′ ]′+q(t) f (x(σ(t))) = 0, t ≥ t0, where ∫ ∞ t0 dt/r(t) = ∞, or ∫ ∞ t0 dt/r(t) < ∞, 0 ≤ p(t) ≤ p0 < ∞. The results obtained here complement and improve some known results in the literature. 2010 Mathematics Subject Classification: 39A21,...
