چکیده

where r(x) >0 and p(x) are both continuous on [a, oo) and p(x) does not change sign, and related conjugate point properties to oscillation. They gave extensive evidence indicating that the oscillatory behavior when p(x) is positive is essentially different from that when p(x) is negative. Relatively little is known in general when p(x) changes sign or when derivative terms of order less than four are present—except those facts which can be obtained by a simple piecing together of intervals or by the relatively few transformations into the type (1). Earlier study of this subject was done by W. M. Whyburn [8] and others listed in the bibliography of [5]. This paper is primarily concerned with the fourth-order equation (1) where r(x) and p(x) are both positive and continuous on [a, oo)3 and the designation "(1)" will denote the equation (1), together with these restrictions on the coefficients except in one or two cases in which departure from this convention will be explicitly given. For example, in §3 there is a theorem insuring the disconjugacy of (1) without regard of the sign, or changes of sign, of p(x). Leighton and Nehari [5] introduced the double-zero conjugate point concept of which the first conjugate point r]i(a) of a is defined as follows and is called the first LN'-conjugate point: Definition 1. The number 171(a) is the smallest number ¿>G(a, <*>) for which the two point boundary conditions4

Periodic solutions of fourth-order delay differential equation

In this paper the periodic solutions of fourth order delay differential equation of the form $ddddot{x}(t)+adddot{x}(t)+f(ddot{x}(t-tau(t)))+g(dot{x}(t-tau(t)))+h({x}(t-tau(t)))=p(t)$  is investigated. Some new positive periodic criteria are given.

Differential transform method for a a nonlinear system of differential equations arising in HIV infection of CD4+T cell

In this paper, differential transform method (DTM) is described and is applied to solve systems of nonlinear ordinary differential equations which is arising in HIV infections of cell. Intervals of validity of the solution will be extended by using Pade approximation. The results also will be compared with those results obtained by Runge-Kutta method. The technique is described and is illustrat...

Numerical method for singularly perturbed fourth order ordinary differential equations of convection-diffusion type

In this paper, we have proposed a numerical method for singularly perturbed  fourth order ordinary differential equations of convection-diffusion type. The numerical method combines boundary value technique, asymptotic expansion approximation, shooting method and  finite difference method. In order to get a numerical solution for the derivative of the solution, the given interval is divided  in...
