A New Comparison Theorem for Scalar Riccati Equations

A comparison theorem for matrix Riccati difference equations

Difference equations of the form X ( t ) = F * ( t ) X ( t 1 ) F ( t ) F * ( t ) X ( t 1)G(t)[ l + G * ( t ) X ( t 1)G(t)]t G * ( t ) X ( t 1)F(t)+ Q(t ) and their associated Hermitian matrices H ( t ) = (0 v F* _C,C.)(t) are studied. Solution of different Riccati equations can be compared if the difference of their corresponding Hermitian matrices is semidefinite for all t. An application to t...

Some Remarks on a Class of Ordinary Differential Equations: the Riccati Property

Here ordinary differential equations of third and higher order are considered; in particular, a class of equations which can be solved by quadratures is exploited. Indeed, crucial to obtain our result is the property of the Riccati equation, according to which, given one particular solution, then its general solution can be determined explicitly. Thus, what we term the “Riccati” Property is int...

A Quantitative Comparison Theorem for Nonlinear Equations

In the present paper we establish a quantitative comparison theorem for positive solutions of the following initial value problems 8 < : (p 1 (r)(u)ju 0 j m?2 u 0) 0 + q 1 (r)f(u) = 0 u(0) = u 0 ; u 0 (0) = 0 and 8 < : (p 2 (r)(v)jv 0 j m?2 v 0) 0 + q 2 (r)f(v) = 0 v(0) = v 0 ; v 0 (0) = 0 with r > 0 and m > 1, and also show some applications of the theorem to the non-existence problem of posit...

Remarks on a Theorem Of

In a recent paper E. J. McShane [3]2 has given a theorem which is the common core of a variety of results about Baire sets, Baire functions, and convex sets in topological spaces including groups and linear spaces. In general terms his theorem states that if J is a family of open maps defined in one topological space Xi into another, X2, the total image JiS) of a second category Baire set S in ...
