First-Order Singular and Discontinuous Differential Equations

Rational solutions of first-order differential equations∗

We prove that degrees of rational solutions of an algebraic differential equation F (dw/dz,w, z) = 0 are bounded. For given F an upper bound for degrees can be determined explicitly. This implies that one can find all rational solutions by solving algebraic equations. Consider the differential equation F (w′, w, z) = 0, (w′ = dw/dz) (1) where F is a polynomial in three variables. Theorem 1 For ...

Limit Properties of Solutions of Singular Second-Order Differential Equations

We discuss the properties of the differential equation u′′ t a/t u′ t f t, u t , u′ t , a.e. on 0, T , where a ∈ R\{0}, and f satisfies the Lp-Carathéodory conditions on 0, T × R2 for some p > 1. A full description of the asymptotic behavior for t → 0 of functions u satisfying the equation a.e. on 0, T is given. We also describe the structure of boundary conditions which are necessary and suffi...

C-approximate Solutions of Second-order Singular Ordinary Differential Equations

In this work a new method is developed to obtain C1-approximate solutions of initial and boundary-value problems generated from a one parameter second order singular ordinary differential equation. Information about the order of approximation is also given by introducing the so called growth index of a function. Conditions are given for the existence of such approximations for initial and bound...
