Second-Order Differential Operators in the Limit Circle Case

Limit-point/limit-circle Results for Forced Second Order Differential Equations

In this paper, the authors consider both the forced and unforced versions of a second order nonlinear differential equation with a p-Laplacian. They give sufficient conditions as well as necessary and sufficient conditions for the unforced equation to be of the strong nonlinear limit-circle type, and they give sufficient conditions for the forced equation to be of the strong nonlinear limit-cir...

Recurrent metrics in the geometry of second order differential equations

Given a pair (semispray $S$, metric $g$) on a tangent bundle, the family of nonlinear connections $N$ such that $g$ is recurrent with respect to $(S, N)$ with a fixed recurrent factor is determined by using the Obata tensors. In particular, we obtain a characterization for a pair $(N, g)$ to be recurrent as well as for the triple $(S, stackrel{c}{N}, g)$ where $stackrel{c}{N}$ is the canonical ...

Differential Transformations of Parabolic Second-Order Operators in the Plane

The theory of transformations for hyperbolic second-order equations in the plane, developed by Darboux, Laplace and Moutard, has many applications in classical differential geometry [12, 13], and beyond it in the theory of integrable systems [14, 19]. These results, which were obtained for the linear case, can be applied to nonlinear Darboux-integrable equations [2, 7, 15, 16]. In the last deca...
