Oscillation of forced impulsive differential equations with pp-Laplacian and nonlinearities given by Riemann-Stieltjes integrals

In this article, we study the oscillation of second order forced impulsive differential equation with $p$-Laplacian and nonlinearities given by Riemann-Stieltjes integrals of the form \begin{equation*} \left( p(t)\phi _{\gamma }\left( x^{\prime }(t)\right) \right) ^{\prime}+q_{0}\left( t\right) \phi _{\gamma }\left( x(t)\right)+\int_{0}^{b}q\left( t,s\right) \phi _{\alpha \left( s\right) }\left(x(t)\right) d\zeta \left(s\right) =e(t), t\neq \tau _{k}, \end{equation*} with impulsive conditions \begin{equation*} x\left( \tau _{k}^{+}\right) =\lambda _{k}~x\left( t_{k}\right), x^{\prime }\left( \tau _{k}^{+}\right) =\eta _{k}~x^{\prime }\left( \tau_{k}\right), \end{equation*} where \phi _{\gamma }\left( u\right) :=\left\vert u\right\vert ^{\gamma } \mbox{{\rm sgn}\,}u, $\gamma, b\in \left( 0,\infty \right),$ $\alpha \in C\left[ 0,b\right)$ is strictly increasing such that $0\leq \alpha \left( 0\right) <\gamma <\alpha \left( b-\right)$, and $\left\{ \tau_{k}\right\}_{k\in {\mathbb{N}}}$ is the the impulsive moments sequence. Using the Riccati transformation technique, we obtain sufficient conditions for this equation to be oscillatory

Asymptotic solutions of forced nonlinear second order differential equations and their extensions

Using a modified version of Schauder's fixed point theorem, measures of non-compactness and classical techniques, we provide new general results on the asymptotic behavior and the non-oscillation of second order scalar nonlinear differential equations on a half-axis. In addition, we extend the methods and present new similar results for integral equations and Volterra-Stieltjes integral equations, a framework whose benefits include the unification of second order difference and differential equations. In so doing, we enlarge the class of nonlinearities and in some cases remove the distinction between superlinear, sublinear, and linear differential equations that is normally found in the literature. An update of papers, past and present, in the theory of Volterra-Stieltjes integral equations is also presented

Generalized Variational Oscillation Principles for Second-Order Differential Equations with Mixed-Nonlinearities

Using generalized variational principle and Riccati technique, new oscillation criteria are established for forced second-order differential equation with mixed nonlinearities, which improve and generalize some recent papers in the literature

Oscillation Criteria for Second-Order Forced Dynamic Equations with Mixed Nonlinearities

We obtain new oscillation criteria for second-order forced dynamic equations on time scales containing mixed nonlinearities of the form (r(t)Phi(alpha)(x(Delta)))(Delta) + f(t,x(sigma)) = e(t), t is an element of [t(0), infinity)(T) with f (t, x) = q(t) Phi(alpha)(x) + Sigma(n)(i=1)q(i)(t)Phi(beta i)(x), Phi(*)(u) = vertical bar u vertical bar*(-1) u, where [t(0), infinity)(T) is a time scale interval with t(0) is an element of T, the functions r, q, q(i), e : [t(0), infinity)(T) -> R are right-dense continuous with r > 0, sigma is the forward jump operator, x(sigma) (t) := x(sigma(t)), and beta(1) > ... > beta(m) > alpha > beta(m+1) > ... beta(n) > 0. All results obtained are new even for T = R and T = Z. In the special case when T = R and alpha = 1 our theorems reduce to (Y. G. Sun and J. S. W. Wong, Journal of Mathematical Analysis and Applications. 337 (2007), 549-560). Therefore, our results in particular extend most of the related existing literature from the continuous case to arbitrary time scale. Copyright (C) 2009 R. P. Agarwal and A. Zafer.Publisher's Versio
