Our approach is to transform the nonautonomous equation into an autonomous ODE. This reduces the problem to analyzing the phase plane of the autonomous equation. We prove the existence of new families of solutions of the equation and describe their asymptotic behavior.

Our advance is to prove the existence of a family of solutions of the subcritical case which satisfies for infinitely many values . At the critical value there is a continuum of positive singular solutions, and a continuum of sign changing singular solutions. In the supercritical regime we prove the existence of a family of “super singular” sign changing singular solutions.

We investigate the existence and asymptotic behavior of positive, radially symmetric singular solutions of , . We focus on the parameter regime and where the equation has the closed form, positive singular solution , . Our advance is to develop a technique to efficiently classify the behavior of solutions which are positive on a maximal positive interval . Our approach is to transform the nonautonomous equation into an autonomous ODE. This reduces the problem to analyzing the behavior of solutions in the phase plane of the autonomous equation. We then show how specific solutions of the autonomous equation give rise to the existence of several new families of singular solutions of the equation. Specifically, we prove the existence of a family of singular solutions which exist on the entire interval , and which satisfy for all . An important open problem for the nonautonomous equation is presented. Its solution would lead to the existence of a new family of “super singular” solutions which lie entirely above .

Time-periodic perturbations of an asymmetric Duffing–Van-der-Pol equation close to an integrable equation with a homoclinic "figure-eight" of a saddle are considered. The behavior of solutions outside the neighborhood of "figure-eight" is studied analytically. The problem of limit cycles for an autonomous equation is solved and resonance zones for a nonautonomous equation are analyzed. The behavior of the separatrices of a fixed saddle point of the Poincaré map in the small neighborhood of the unperturbed "figure-eight" is ascertained. The results obtained are illustrated by numerical computations.

The class of fractional linear generating functions is used to illustrate various aspects of the theory of branching processes in varying and random environments. In particular, it is shown that Church's theorem on convergence of the varying environments process admits of an elementary proof in this particular case. For random environments, examples are given on the asymptotic behavior of extinction probabilities in the supercritical case and conditional expectation given non-extinction in the subcritical case.

We consider, for m ∈ (0, 1) and q > 1, the porous media equation with absorption We are interested in those solutions, which we call singular solutions, that are non-negative, non-trivial, continuous in Rn × [0, ∞)\{(0, 0)}, and satisfy u(x, 0) = 0 for all x ≠ 0. We prove the following results. When q ≥ m + 2/n, there does not exist any such singular solution. When q < m + 2/n, there exists, for every c > 0, a unique singular solution u = u(c), called the fundamental solution with initial mass c, which satisfies ∫Rnu(·, t) → c as t ↘ 0. Also, there exists a unique singular solution u = u∞, called the very singular solution, which satisfies ∫Rnu∞(·, t) → ∞ as t ↘ 0.In addition, any singular solution is either u∞ or u(c) for some finite positive c, u(c1) < u(c2) when c1 < c2, and u(c) ↗ u∞ as c ↗ ∞.Furthermore, u∞ is self-similar in the sense that u∞(x, t) = t−αw(|x| t−αβ) for α = 1/(q − 1), β = ½(q − m), and some smooth function w defined on [0, ∞), so that is a finite positive constant independent of t > 0.

AbstractWe study the metrics of constant $Q$-curvature in the Euclidean space with a prescribed singularity at the origin, namely solutions to the equation \begin{equation*} (-\Delta)^{\frac{n}{2}}w=e^{nw}-c\delta_{0} \ \textrm{on}\ {\mathbb{R}}^n, \end{equation*}under a finite volume condition. We analyze the asymptotic behavior at infinity and the existence of solutions for every $n\ge 3$ also in a supercritical regime. Finally, we state some open problems.

The solution of the equation for the pion propagator in the leading order of the [Formula: see text] – expansion for a vector-matrix model with interaction [Formula: see text] in four dimensions shows a change of the asymptotic behavior in the deep Euclidean region in a vicinity of a certain critical value of the coupling constant.

We prove the uniqueness of the very singular solution to when 1 < p < (N + 2)/(N + 1), thus completing the previous result by Qi and Wang, restricted to self-similar solutions.


A study is made of a class of singular solutions to the equations of nonlinear elastostatics in which a spherical cavity forms at the centre of a ball of isotropic material placed in tension by means of given surface tractions or displacements. The existence of such solutions depends on the growth properties of the stored-energy function W for large strains and is consistent with strong ellipticity of W . Under appropriate hypotheses it is shown that a singular solution bifurcates from a trivial (homogeneous) solution at a critical value of the surface traction or displacement, at which the trivial solution becomes unstable. For incompressible materials both the singular solution and the critical surface traction are given explicitly, and the stability of all solutions with respect to radial motion is determined. For compressible materials the existence of singular solutions is proved for a class of strongly elliptic materials by means of the direct method of the calculus of variations, an important step in the analysis being to show that the only radial equilibrium solutions without cavities are homogeneous. Work of Gent & Lindley (1958) shows that the critical surface tractions obtained agree with those observed in the internal rupture of rubber.
