AbstractExistence principles are given for systems of differential equations with reflection of the argument. These are derived using fixed point analysis, specifically the Nonlinear Alternative. Then existence results are deduced for certain classes of first and second order equations with reflection of the argument.

AbstractWe establish necessary and sufficient conditions for the separability of a system of second-order differential equations into independent one-dimensional second-order equations. The characterization of this property is given in terms of geometrical objects which are directly related to the system and relatively easy to compute. The proof of the main theorem is constructive and thus yields a practical procedure for constructing coordinates in which the system decouples.

Solving BVPs for the fourth order differential equations by the reduction of them to BVPs for the  second order equations with the aim to use the achievements for the latter ones attracts attention from many researchers. In this paper, using the technique developed by  ourselves in recent works, we construct iterative method for the second BVP for  biharmonic type equation. The convergence rate of  the method is established.

In this paper, we establish the qualitative behavior of the even-order advanced differential equation a υ y κ − 1 υ β ′ + ∑ i = 1 j q i υ g y η i υ = 0 ,   υ ≥ υ 0 . The results obtained are based on the Riccati transformation and the theory of comparison with first- and second-order equations. This new theorem complements and improves a number of results reported in the literature. Two examples are presented to demonstrate the main results.

This paper presents a new numerical method for the solution of ordinary differential equations (ODE). The linear second-order equations considered herein are solved using operational matrices of Wang-Ball Polynomials. By the improvement of the operational matrix, the singularity of the ODE is removed, hence ensuring that a solution is obtained. In order to show the employability of the method, several problems were considered. The results indicate that the method is suitable to obtain accurate solutions.

AbstractThis describes our integrator RADAU, which has been used by several groups in the U.S.A., in Italy, and in the U.S.S.R. over the past 10 years in the numerical integration of orbits and other problems involving numerical solution of systems of ordinary differential equations. First- and second-order equations are solved directly, including the general second-order case. A self-starting integrator, RADAU proceeds by sequences within which the substeps are taken at Gauss-Radau spacings. This allows rather high orders of accuracy with relatively few function evaluations. After the first sequence the information from previous sequences is used to improve the accuracy. The integrator itself chooses the next sequence size. When a 64-bit double word is available in double precision, a 15th-order version is often appropriate, and the FORTRAN code for this case is included here. RADAU is at least comparable with the best of other integrators in speed and accuracy, and it is often superior, particularly at high accuracies.

We clarify the class of second and third order ordinary differential equations which can be tranformed to the simplest equations Y″ = 0 and Y‴ = 0. The coordinate changes employed to transform the equations are respectively area preserving maps for second order equations and contact form preserving maps for third order equations. A geometric explanation of the results is also given by using connections and associated covariant differentials both on tangent and cotangent spaces.

Coupled second-order nonlinear differential equations are of fundamental importance in dynamics. In this part of our study on the integrability and linearization of nonlinear ordinary differential equations (ODEs), we focus our attention on the method of deriving a general solution for two coupled second-order nonlinear ODEs through the extended Prelle–Singer procedure. We describe a procedure to obtain integrating factors and the required number of integrals of motion so that the general solution follows straightforwardly from these integrals. Our method tackles both isotropic and non-isotropic cases in a systematic way. In addition to the above-mentioned method, we introduce a new method of transforming coupled second-order nonlinear ODEs into uncoupled ones. We illustrate the theory with potentially important examples.
