This paper is concerned with asymptotic analysis of positive decreasing solutions of the secondorder quasilinear ordinary differential equation (E) (p(t)?(|x'(t)|))'=q(t)?(x(t)), with the regularly varying coefficients p, q, ?, ?. An application of the theory of regular variation gives the possibility of determining the precise information about asymptotic behavior at infinity of solutions of equation (E) such that lim t?? x(t)=0, lim t?? p(t)?(-x'(t))=?.

AbstractThe purpose of this paper is to establish comparison criteria, by which the oscillatory and asymptotic behavior of linear retarded differential equations of arbitrary order is inherited from the oscillation of an associated second order linear ordinary differential equation. These criteria are new even in the case of ordinary differential equations.

In this paper, a set of non-standard discrete models were constructed for the solution of non-homogenous second-order ordinary differential equation. We applied the method of non-local approximation and renormalization of the discretization functions to some problems and the result shows that the schemes behave qualitatively like the original equation.

The successive terms in a uniformly valid multitime expansion of the solutions of constant coefficient differential equations containing a small parameterϵmay be obtained without resorting to secularity conditions if the time scalesti=ϵit(i=0,1,…)are used. Similar results have been achieved in some cases for equations with variable coefficients by using nonlinear time scales generated from the equations themselves. This paper extends the latter approach to the general second order ordinary differential equation with slowly varying coefficients and examines the restrictions imposed by the method.

This paper is concerned with the question of oscillation of the solutions of second order superlinear ordinary differential equations with alternating coefficients.Consider the second order nonlinear ordinary differential equationwhere a is a continuous function on the interval [t0, ∞), t0 > 0, and / is a continuous function on the real line R, which is continuously differentia t e , except possibly at 0, and satisfies.

AbstractWe study the asymptotic behavior of eventually positive solutions of the second-order half-linear differential equation(p(t)\lvert x^{\prime}\rvert^{\alpha}\operatorname{sgn}x^{\prime})^{\prime}+q(% t)\lvert x\rvert^{\alpha}\operatorname{sgn}x=0,where q is a continuous function which may take both positive and negative values in any neighborhood of infinity and p is a positive continuous function satisfying one of the conditions\int_{a}^{\infty}\frac{ds}{p(s)^{1/\alpha}}=\infty\quad\text{or}\quad\int_{a}^% {\infty}\frac{ds}{p(s)^{1/\alpha}}<\infty.The asymptotic formulas for generalized regularly varying solutions are established using the Karamata theory of regular variation.

The existence of quasi-periodic eigensolutions of a linear second order ordinary differential equation with quasi-periodic coefficient f{ω1t, ω2t) is investigated numerically and graphically. For sufficiently incommensurate frequencies ω1, ω2, a doubly indexed infinite sequence of eigenvalues and eigenmodes is obtained.The equation considered is a model for the magneto-hydrodynamic “continuum” in general toroidal geometry. The result suggests that continuum modes exist at least on sufficiently ir-rational magnetic surfaces

Hidden symmetries entered the literature in the late Eighties when it was observed that there could be gain of Lie point symmetry in the reduction of order of an ordinary differential equation. Subsequently the reverse process was also observed. Such symmetries were termed “hidden”. In each case the source of the “new” symmetry was a contact symmetry or a nonlocal symmetry, that is, a symmetry with one or more of the coefficient functions containing an integral. Recent work by Abraham-Shrauner and Govinder (2006) on the reduction of partial differential equations demonstrates that it is possible for these “hidden” symmetries to have a point origin. In this paper we show that the same phenomenon can be observed in the reduction of ordinary differential equations and in a sense loosen the interpretation of hidden symmetries.
