1. This paper deals with the differential equation(dots denoting derivatives with respect to t), where for large x the ‘restoring force’ term g(x) has the sign of x and the ‘damping factor’ kf(x) is positive on the average. It will be shown that every solution of (1) ultimately (for sufficiently large t) satisfieswith B independent of k. The conditions on f(x), g(x) and p(t) (stated in §§ 2, 3) are rather milder than those assumed by Cartwright and Littlewood (1, 2) and Newman (3) in proving similar results.

The polynomials which satisfy linear differential equations of the second order and of the hypergeometric type have been the object of extensive work, and very few properties of them remain now hidden; the student who seeks in that direction a subject for research is compelled to look, not after these functions themselves but after generalisations of them. Among these may be set in first place the polynomials connected with a differential equation of the third order and of the extended hypergeometric type, of which a general theory has been given by Goursat. The number of such polynomials of which properties have been studied in particular is rather small; in fact, Appell's polynomialsand Pincherle's polynomials, arising from the expansionsare, so far as I know, the only well-known ones. To show what can be done in these ways, I shall briefly give the definition and principal properties of some polynomials analogous to Pincherle's and of some allied functions.

Consider the wth order scalar ordinary differential equationwith pr ∈ C([0, ∞) → R ) . The purpose of this paper is to establish the following:DECOMPOSITION THEOREM. The solution space X of (1.1) has a direct sum Decompositionwhere M1 and M2 are subspaces of X such that(1) each solution in M1\﹛0﹜ is nonzero for sufficiently large t ﹛nono sdilatory) ;(2) each solution in M2 has infinitely many zeros ﹛oscillatory).

1·1. A general problem in the theory of non-linear differential equations of the second order is: Given a non-linear differential equation of the second order uniformly almost periodic (u.a.p.) in the independent variable and with certain disposable constants (parameters), to find: (i) the non-trivial relations between these parameters such that the given differential equation has a non-periodic u.a.p. solution; (ii) the number of periodic and non-periodic u.a.p. solutions which correspond to each such relation; and (iii) explicit analytical expressions for the u.a.p. solutions when they exist.

In this paper we are concerned with the existence of solutions for certain classes of second order differential equations. First we deal with an infinite system of second order linear differential equations, which is reduced to an ordinary differential equation posed in the space of convergent sequences. Next we investigate the problem of existence for a second order differential equation posed on an arbitrary Banach space. The used approach is based on the measures of noncompactness concept, the use of Darbo's fixed point theorem and Kamke comparison functions.

In 1950, Wintner (11) showed that if the function f(x) is continuous on the half-line [0, ∞) and, in a certain sense, is “ small when x is large ” then the differential equationdoes not have L2 solutions, where the function y(x) satisfying (1) is called an L2 solution if

Exact solutions for linear and nonlinear differential equations play an important rolein theoretical and practical research. In particular many works have been devoted tofinding a formula for solving second order linear differential equations with variablecoefficients. In this paper we obtained the formula for the common solution of thelinear differential equation of the second order with the variable coefficients in themore common case. We also obtained the new formula for the solution of the Cauchyproblem for the linear differential equation of the second order with the variablecoefficients.Examples illustrating the application of the obtained formula for solvingsecond-order linear differential equations are given.Key words: The linear differential equation, the second order, the variablecoefficients,the new formula for the common solution, Cauchy problem, examples.
