Unbounded solutions for functional problems on the half-line

This paper presents an existence and localization result of unbounded solutions for a second-order differential equation on the half-line with functional boundary conditions. By applying unbounded upper and lower solutions, Green's functions and Schauder fixed point theorem, the existence of at least one solution is shown for the above problem. One example and one application to an Emden-Fowler equation are shown to illustrate our results.

Existence of Homoclinic Solutions for Nonlinear Second-Order Problems

In this work, we consider the second-order discontinuous equation in the real line, u′′(t)−ku(t)=f(t,u(t),u′(t)),a.e.t∈R, with k>0 and f:R3→R an L1 -Carathéodory function. The existence of homoclinic solutions in presence of not necessarily ordered lower and upper solutions is proved, without periodicity assumptions or asymptotic conditions. Some applications to Duffing-like equations are presented in last section.
