We establish the existence of at least three positive periodic solutions to the second order differential equation with periodic coefficients [Formula: see text] where f is continuous with f(t + T, x) = f(t,x) for (t,x) ∊ R × R and T > 0, p, q are continuous and T-periodic with p > 0 and q ≥ 0. We accomplish this by making growth assumptions on f, which can apply to many more cases than those discussed in recent works. An example to illustrate the main result is given.

Abstract We provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of the second-order differential equation with variable potentials {-(px^{\prime})^{\prime}(t)-r(t)p(t)x^{\prime}(t)+q(t)x(t)=f(t,x(t))} , where the functions {p(t)>0} , {q(t)} , {r(t)} and {f(t,x)} are {\mathcal{C}^{2}} and T-periodic in the variable t.

AbstractIn this paper, we obtain some new explicit travelling wave solutions of the perturbed KdV equation through recent factorization techniques that can be performed when the coefficients of the equation fulfill a certain condition. The solutions are obtained by using a two-step factorization procedure through which the perturbed KdV equation is reduced to a nonlinear second order differential equation, and to some Bernoulli and Abel type differential equations whose solutions are expressed in terms of the exponential andWeierstrass functions.

The Weierstrass elliptic function satisfies a nonlinear first order and a nonlinear second order differential equation. It is shown that these differential equations can be discretized in such a way that the solutions of the resulting difference equations exactly coincide with the corresponding values of the elliptic function.

In this note we consider a relatively ancient stability problem: the behaviour of solutions of the second order differential equation ẍ + f(s) x = 0, where f(s) tends to plus infinity as s tends to plus infinity. An extensive survey of the literature concerning this problem and a resume of results may be found in [ l ]. More recently McShane et a l. [2] have shown that the additional assumption f(s) ≥ 0 is not sufficient to guarantee that all solutions tend to zero as s tends to infinity. Our aim is to demonstrate a new criterion for which all solutions do have the above property. This criterion overlaps many of the cases heretofore considered.
