Asymptotic integration of nonlinear \(\phi\)-Laplacian differential equations (Q2654024): Difference between revisions

The aim is to study the existence of solutions to initial values problems for a \(\phi\)-Laplace-like operator of the form: \[ \begin{cases} (\phi(u'))'+f(t,u,u')=0, t\geq t_0\geq 1; \\ u(t_0)=u_0, u'(t_0)=u_1, \end{cases} \] where \(\phi:{\mathbb{R}}\to{\mathbb{R}}\) is an increasing homeomorphism with a locally Lipchitzian's invers satisfying \(\phi(0)=0\) and the non-linearity \(f\) verifies the inequality \[ |f(t,u,v)|\leq h(t)\left[p_1\left(\frac{|u|}{t}\right)+p_2(|v|)\right], \quad t\geq t_0,u,v\in{\mathbb{R}}. \] Here, the function \(h:[t_0,+\infty)\to[0,+\infty)\) is continuous and the functions \(p_1,p_2:[0,+\infty)\to(0,+\infty)\) are continuous and nondecreasing. This type of homeomorphism encompasses the usual \(p\)-Laplacian operator with \(0<p\leq 2\). The authors derive sufficient conditions under which all global solutions are asymptotic to \(at+b\), as \(t\to +\infty\), where \(a,b\) are real numbers. The paper generalizes the results of \textit{R. P. Agarwal, S. Djebali, T. Moussaoui} and \textit{O. G. Mustafa} [J. Comput. Appl. Math. 202, No.~2, 352--376 (2007; Zbl 1123.34038)] and the result of \textit{Ch. G. Philos, I. K. Purnaras} and \textit{P. Ch. Tsamatos} [Nonlinear Anal., Theory Methods Appl. 59, No.~7 (A), 1157--1179 (2004; Zbl 1094.34032)] to the \(\phi\)-Laplacian-like problems.
