Attention has recently been drawn to the obscurity of the usual presentations of Mayer's method of solution of the total differential equationThis method has the practical advantage that only a single integration is required, but its theoretical discussion is usually based on the validity of some other method of solution. Mayer's method gives a result even when the equation (1) is not integrable, but this cannot of course be a solution. An examination of the conditions under which the result is actually an integral of equation (1) leads to a proof of the existence theorem for (1) which is related to Mayer's method of solution in a natural way, and which moreover appears to be novel and of value in the presentation of the subject.

Riemann's method of solution of a linear second order partial differential equation of hyperbolic type was introduced in his memoir on sound waves. It has been used by Darboux in discussing the equationwhere α, β, γ are functions of x and y.

1. There are exceptional integrals of the total differential equationin the case when it is not completely integrable, and so when the invariantis not identically zero, which do not seem to be mentioned by any standard authorities such as Cartan, Goursat, de la Vallée Poussin, and Schouten and Kulk. These are integrals of (1) which do not reduce I to zero. They arise only when the first partial derivates of P, Q, R are not all continuous. A simple example is z = 0 as an integral of

In this paper, we improve on the results of two previous papers (8, 9) by establishing a general existence theorem (section 1·3, below) for a class of periodic oscillations of a wide class of non-linear differential equations of the second order in the real domain which are perturbations of the autonomous differential equationwhere g(x) is strictly non-linear. We then, by way of illustrating the power of the theorem, apply it to the problems which Morris (section 2·2 below), Shimuzu (section 2·3 below) and Loud (section 2·5 below) set themselves on the existence of periodic oscillations of certain differential equations which are perturbations of equations of the form (1·1·1).

We consider a linear partial differential equation with constant coefficients in one dependent and m independent variables, the right-hand side being zero,P being a symbolic polynomial in D1, …, Dm. If P can be decomposed into two factors, so that the equation can be writtenit is evident that the sum of any solution ofand any solution ofis also a solution of (1).

Consider the n-th order delay differential equationIn the last few years, the oscillatory behavior of delay differential equations has been the subject of intensive investigations. But much less is known about the equation (A) with small forcing term q(t). The only papers devoted to this problem are by Kartsatos, Kusano, and the present author. The purpose of this paper is to prove some new oscillation theorems which contain the previous results.

Sears and Titchmarsh (1) have formulated an expansion in eigenfunctions which requires a knowledge of the s-zeros of the equationHere ka > 0 is supposed given and β is a real constant such that 0 ≤ β < π. The above equation is encountered when one seeks the eigenfunctions of the differential equationon the interval 0 < α ≤ r < ∞ subject to the condition of vanishing at r = α. Solutions of (2) are the Bessel functions J±is(kr) and every solution w of (2) is such that r−½w(r) belongs to L2 (α, ∞). Since the problem is of the limit circle type at infinity it is necessary to prescribe a suitable asymptotic condition there to make the eigenfunctions determinate. In the present instance this condition is

SynopsisIn an earlier paper [6] we showed that if q ϵ CN[0, ε) for some ε > 0, then the Titchmarsh–Weyl m(λ) function associated with the second order linear differential equationhas the asymptotic expansionas |A| →∞ in a sector of the form 0 < δ < arg λ < π – δ.We show that if the real valued function q admits the expansionin a neighbourhood of 0, then
