Lyapunov-type inequalities for two classes of nonlinear systems with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions (Q2274549)

At the beginning of the 20th century, Lyapunov proved a remarkable result for second-order linear differential equations with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions known as Lyapunov's inequality. Lyapunov's inequality has found many applications in the study of various properties of solutions for ordinary differential equations, and as a consequence, has generated a lot of interest over the years. There are many improvements and generalizations of Lyapunov's inequality. Particularly, it has been generalized widely to the higher-order linear equations and systems. The author of the present paper provides new Lyapunov-type inequalities for nonlinear cycled systems \[ \left(r_{i}(x)\phi_{p_{i}}(u_{i}')\right)'+f_{i}(x)\phi_{\alpha_{i}}(u_{i+1})=0 \] and nonlinear strongly coupled systems \[ \left(r_{1}(x)\phi_{p_{1}}(u_{i}')\right)'+f_{i}(x)\sum_{j=1}^{n}\phi_{p_{1}}(u_{j})=0 \] with homogeneous Dirichlet boundary conditions under some additional assumptions. The author's results generalize and improve some known results. Also, it is to note that the history of the subject and motivation of the investigation are well-represented. The obtained results continue studies of the subject and may be useful for researches in the field. The list of references contains 35 items.
