On the symmetry classification and conservation laws for quasilinear differential equations of second order

We obtain a sufficient condition for the absence of tangent transformations admitted by quasilinear differential equations of second order and a sufficient condition for the linear autonomy of the operators of the Lie group of transformations admitted by weakly nonlinear differential equations of second order. We prove a theorem concerning the structure of conservation laws of first order for weakly nonlinear differential equations of second order. We carry out the classification by first-order conservation laws for linear differential equations of second order with two independent variables.     

On second order differential equations with state-dependent delay

We study existence and uniqueness of solutions for a general class of second order abstract differential equations with state-dependent delay. Some examples related to partial differential equations with state dependent delay are presented.     

On exponential stability of second order delay differential equations

We propose a new method for studying stability of second order delay differential equations. Results we obtained are of the form: the exponential stability of ordinary differential equation implies the exponential stability of the corresponding delay differential equation if the delays are small enough. We estimate this smallness through the coefficients of this delay equation. Examples demonstrate that our tests of the exponential stability are essentially better than the known ones. This method works not only for autonomous equations but also for equations with variable coefficients and delays.

Lie point symmetries for systems of second order linear ordinary differential equations

Abstract

The equations for the Lie point symmetries of autonomous systems of second order linear ordinary differential equations are derived. The results for a two dimensional system are treated in detail and some consideration is extended to higher dimensional systems. The effect of the introduction of time-dependent elements into the coefficient matrix is briefly discussed.

In this paper, we consider the oscillation of the second order neutral delay differential equations[x(t) cx(t-τ)]" p(t)x(t-σ)=0 (1)and obtain some sufficient conditions of the oscillation of (1) for the case c≥0, -1≤c<0 and c<-1.     

On global transformations of ordinary differential equations of the second order

The paper describes the general form of an ordinary differential equation of the second order which allows a nontrivial global transformation consisting of the change of the independent variable and of a nonvanishing factor. A result given by J. Aczél is generalized. A functional equation of the form

In this paper, we investigate the existence and the form of subnormal solution for a class of second order periodic linear differential equations, estimate the growth properties of all solutions, and answer the question raised by Gundersen and Steinbart.     

On oscillation of second order neutral type delay differential equations

Oscillation criteria are obtained by using the so called H-method for the second order neutral type delay differential equations of the form

(r(t)ψ(x(t))z^′(t))^′+q(t)f(x(σ(t)))=0, tt₀,

where z(t)=x(t)+p(t)x(τ(t)), r, p, q, τ, σ, C([t₀,∞),R) and f,ψC(R,R).

The results of the paper contains several results obtained previously as special cases. Furthermore, we are also able to fix an error in a recent paper related to the oscillation of second order nonneutral delay differential equations.
