An oscillation of a solution to a nonlinear integral equation (Q579573): Difference between revisions

The author shows that every bounded solution of the equation \[ x(t)- \int^{t}_{0}K(t,s)g(x(s))ds=f(t,x(t)) \] has an infinity of zeros tending to infinity if and only if \(\lim_{t\to \infty}\int^{t}_{t_ 0}K(t,s)ds=\infty,\) \(t\geq t_ 0\geq 0\), and for each \(\sigma >0\) the function \(\quad h(t)=\int^{\sigma}_{0}K(t,s)ds\) is bounded. This result is obtained under the assumptions that K(t,s) is non-increasing in t, f is strictly increasing in x, \(f(t,0)=0\), g(x)\(\geq x\), along with Lipschitz continuity of f and g.
