During the last thirty years an immense amount of research has been done on differential equations of the formwhere ε > 0 is small. It is usually assumed that the perturbing term on the right-hand side is a ‘good’ function of its arguments and that its dependence on t is purely trigonometric; this means that there is an expansion of the formwhere the ωn are constants, and that one may impose any conditions on the rate of convergence of the series which turn out to be convenient. Without loss of generality we can assumeand for convenience we shall sometimes write ω0 = 0. Often f is assumed to be periodic in t, in which case it is implicit that the period is independent of x and ẋ (We can also allow f to depend on ε, provided it does so in a sensible manner.)

Доказывается, что система дифференциальных уравнений, правые части которой представляют собой полиномы второй степени, не имеет предельных циклов, если в ограниченной части фазовой плоскости она имеет только два состояния равновесия и при этом они являются состояниями равновесия второй группы. It is proved that a system of differential equations, the right-hand sides of which are second-order polynomials, has no limit cycles if it has only two equilibrium states in the bounded part of the phase plane, and they are the equilibrium states of the second group.

SynopsisWe study the existence of T-periodic positive solutions of the equationwhere f(t, .) has a singularity of repulsive type near the origin. Under the assumption that f(t, x) lies between two lines of positive slope for large and positive x, we find a non-resonance condition which predicts the existence of one T-periodic solution.Our main result gives a Fredholm alternative-like result for the existence of T-periodic positive solutions for

AbstractOne of the more popular problems today in the area of orthogonal polynomials is the classification of all orthogonal polynomial solutions to the second order differential equation:In this paper, we show that the Laguerre type and Jacobi type polynomials satisfy such a second order equation.

AbstractA popular problem today in orthogonal polynomials is that of classifying all second order differential equations which have orthogonal polynomial solutions. We show that the Krall polynomials satisfy a second order equation of the form1.1

The purpose of this paper is to present the concept of ‘modal subspaces’ for systems of coupled non-linear autonomous homogeneous second-order differential equations of the complex variables z1, z2. This development is an extension of the previous paper, entitled ‘Modal subspaces in the complex domain’, by Atkinson and Swann (6), which dealt with a pair of coupled non-linear autonomous homogeneous second-order differential equations of the formDifferentiation is with respect to a real variable t and ajk and bjk are constants which may be complex: n is any positive integer: f1 and f2 are the real and imaginary parts respectively of g1 and g2 are real and imaginary parts respectively of and zj = xj + iyj (j = 1, 2).

In this work, we study the oscillation of second-order delay differential equations, by employing a refinement of the generalized Riccati substitution. We establish a new oscillation criterion. Symmetry ideas are often invisible in these studies, but they help us decide the right way to study them, and to show us the correct direction for future developments. We illustrate the results with some examples.
