AbstractWe study a first-order nonlinear partial differential equation and present a necessary and sufficient condition for the global existence of its solution in a non-smooth environment. Using this result, we prove a local existence theorem for a solution to this differential equation. Moreover, we present two applications of this result. The first concerns an inverse problem called the integrability problem in microeconomic theory and the second concerns an extension of Frobenius’ theorem.

AbstractFor a manifold with a generic symmetric affine connection, explicit necessary and sufficient conditions for the local existence of metric compatible with the connection are obtained in terms of the Riemann tensor and its first-order covariant derivatives. If these conditions are satisfied, the solutions for metric are unique up to a constant scale factor and the absolute value of the signature is uniquely determined. Explicit formulae for the solutions are given in terms of integrals.

The paper is concerned with the solvability and approximate solution of the nonlinear partial differential equation describing the periodic wave propagation. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the periodic wave solutions are obtained. An approximate method for solving the equation is presented. As an illustrative example, the equation of periodic waves of the electric cables is considered.

            In this paper, necessary and sufficient conditions for oscillation are obtained, so that every solution of the linear impulsive neutral differential equation with variable delays and variable coefficients oscillates. Most of authors who study the oscillatory criteria of impulsive neutral differential equations, investigate the case of constant delays and variable coefficients. However the points of impulsive in this paper are more general. An illustrate example is given to demonstrate our claim and explain the results.

AbstractNecessary and sufficient conditions for the local existence of a metric compatible with the affine connection are obtained in terms of the Riemann tensor and its first-order covariant derivatives in a generic affine manifold with torsion. In case these conditions are satisfied, the solutions of the metric are given in terms of integrals and are unique up to a constant scale factor. Some global conditions are also obtained and discussed.

The theory of the exact difference equation in the general linear case has been fully developed, but the corresponding theory for the non-linear equation of the first order does not appear to have been considered. In this paper necessary and sufficient conditions for the difference equation of the first order to be exact and the form of the primitive are obtained. It appears that two conditions are required for a difference equation to be exact, one of which is identically satisfied in the limiting case of the exact differential equation. These conditions are applied to determining the primitive in some cases where the conditions for exactness are not satisfied.
