On the existence of positive solutions of second order differential equations

Using the fixed point method we prove an existence result for positive solutions of nonlinear second order ordinary differential equations. An application to semilinear Schrödinger equations in exterior domains is also presented. Mathematics Subject Classification (2000) 34C10     

On subnormal solutions of second order linear periodic differential equations

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.     

Anti-periodic solutions for second order differential equations

By using the bilinear form and the Leray-Schauder principle, we prove the new anti-periodic existence results for second order differential equations.

On meromorphic solutions of linear partial differential equations of second order

This paper is concerned with entire and meromorphic solutions of linear partial differential equations of second order with polynomial coefficients. We will characterize entire solutions for a class of partial differential equations associated with the Jacobi differential equations, and give a uniqueness theorem for their meromorphic solutions in the sense of the value distribution theory, which also applies to general linear partial differential equations of second order. The results are complemented by various examples for completeness.     

On monotonic solutions of systems of nonlinear second order differential equations

Bounded, monotonic, and asymptotic properties of solutions for a class of second order nonlinear differential equations are discussed. Some necessary and sufficient conditions for boundedness of all solutions are established. Moreover, all solutions are classified into four disjoint subsets which are characterized in terms of the convergence and divergence of several integrals. The obtained results extend and improve many known results of various authors.
