SynopsisThis paper studies a linked system of second order ordinary differential equationswhere xx ∈ [ar, br] and the coefficients qrars are continuous, real valued and periodic of period (br − ar), 1 ≤ r,s ≤ k. We assume the definiteness condition det{ars(xr)} > 0 and 2k possible multiparameter eigenvalue problems are then formulated according as periodic or semi-periodic boundary conditions are imposed on each of the equations of (*). The main result describes the interlacing of the 2k possible sets of eigentuples thus extending to the multiparameter case the well known theorem concerning 1-parameter periodic equation.

     The aim of this paper is to study the nonlinear delay second order eigenvalue problems which consists of delay ordinary differential equations, in fact one of the expansion methods that is called the least square method which will be developed to solve this kind of problems.

SynopsisSome known results for different kinds of boundary value problems for second order ordinary differential equations are generalised. Different approaches are compared with one another, using topological and variational methods and the theory of weighted eigenvalue problems.

AbstractThis paper investigates the relationship between a system of differential equations and the underlying geometry associated with it. The geometry of a surface determines shortest paths, or geodesics connecting nearby points, which are defined as the solutions to a pair of second-order differential equations: the Euler–Lagrange equations of the metric. We ask when the converse holds, that is, when solutions to a system of differential equations reveals an underlying geometry. Specifically, when may the solutions to a given pair of second order ordinary differential equations d2y1/dt2 = f (y, ẏ, t) and d2y2/dt2 = g(y, ẏ, t) be reparameterized by t → T(y, t) so as to give locally the geodesics of a Euclidean space? Our approach is based upon Cartan's method of equivalence. In the second part of the paper, the equivalence problem is solved for a generic pair of second order ordinary differential equations of the above form revealing the existence of 24 invariant functions.
