Differential inequalities for functional perturbations of first-order ordinary differential equations (Q1609449)

The author studies the differential system \(v'(t)+mv(t)+[p(v)](t)\leq 0\) with \(v(0)-v(T)\leq 0\). The main results conclude \(v(t)\leq 0\) for appropriate applications \(p:L^1([0,T])\to L^1([0,T])\) and real constants \(m\). A typical hypothesis states the existence of a real constant \(n\) such that \(n\min_{t\in[0,\tau]}v(t)\leq \text{ess}\inf_{t\in[0,\tau]} [p(v)](t)\).
