Abstract Second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations are considered, and a certain boundary value problem on the whole line is studied. Two theorems are obtained as main results. The first theorem is established by the use of the Schauder theorem and concerns the existence of solutions, while the second theorem is concerned with the existence and uniqueness of solutions and is derived by the Banach contraction principle. These two theorems are applied, in particular, to the specific class of second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations of Emden–Fowler type and to the special case of second order linear ordinary differential equations, respectively.

AbstractAn efficient condition is established ensuring that on any interval of length ω, any nontrivial solution of the equation ${u^{\prime\prime}=p(t)u}$ has at most one zero. Based on this result, the unique solvability of a periodic boundary value problem is studied.

AbstractLet I = [a, b] ⊆ R and let L be an nth order linear differential operator defined on Cn(I). Let 2 ≦ k ≦ n and let a ≦ x1 < x2 < … < xn = b. A method of forced mono tonicity is used to construct monotone sequences that converge to solutions of the conjugate type boundary value problem (BVP) Ly = f(x, y),y(i-1) = rij where 1 ≦i ≦ mj, 1 ≦ j ≦ k, mj = n, and f : I X R → R is continuous. A comparison theorem is employed and the method requires that the Green's function of an associated BVP satisfies certain sign conditions.

The eigenfunctions of a boundary value problem are characterized by two quite distinct properties. They are solutions of ordinary differential equations, and they satisfy prescribed boundary conditions. It is a definite advantage to combine these two requirements into a single problem expressed by a unified formula. The use of integral equations is an example in point. The subject of this paper, namely the Schrödinger-Infeld Factorization Method, which is applicable to certain restricted. Sturm-Liouville problems, is based upon another combination of the two properties. The Factorization Method prescribes a manufacturing process.
