Asymptotic behavior of solutions of ordinary differential equations of the \(n\) th order with regularly varying nonlinearities (Q2284396)

The following \(n\)-th-order differential equation is considered : \[ y^{(n)}=\sum_{k=1}^{m}\alpha_k p_k(t)\prod_{j=0}^{n-1}\varphi_{kj}(y^{(j)}), \eqno(1) \] in which \(\alpha_k\in\{-1;1\} (k=\overline{1,m})\), \(p_k\in C\left([a;+\infty[\right)\) (\(k=\overline{1,m}\), \(-\infty<a<\omega\le +\infty[\)) -- are continuous functions, \[\varphi_{kj}:\Delta_{Y_j}\longrightarrow ]0,+\infty[, \quad k=\overline{1,m}, \quad j=\overline{0,n-1},\] are continuous regularly varying as \(y^{(j)} \rightarrow Y_j\) functions of the indeces \(\sigma_{kj}\)(\(\Delta_{Y_j}\) -- is a one-sided neighborhood of \(Y_j\), \(Y_j\) equals to zero or to \(\pm\infty\), \(a>1\) for \(\omega=+\infty\) and \(\omega-1<a<\omega\) for \(\omega<+\infty\).) Conditions for the existence and asymptotic representations of so-called \( P_\omega (Y_0,\dots, Y_{n-1}, \lambda_0) \)-solutions of the equation (1) are investigated in this article for \( \lambda_0 \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0; \frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\dots,\frac{n-2}{n-1},1 \} \) and for \( \lambda_0=1\). The case, in which for all possible types of \( P_\omega (Y_0,\dots, Y_{n-1}, \lambda_0) \)-solutions the right-hand side of equation (1) is equivalent to a single term, was investigated in the works of V.~M.~Evtukhov and A.~M.~Klopot. In the present paper, the authors generalize some of the previous results to the case when, for the analyzed class of solutions, the right-hand side of this equation has several main terms. The article consists of three parts and references. The first part is devoted to the statement of the problem, the justification of its relevance. In the second part, the priori asymptotic properties of the analyzed class of solutions and some known results from the theory of regularly varying functions are noted. The main results are given in the Theorems 3.1, 3.2 and 3.3. In Theorem 3.1, necessary conditions for the existence of \( P_\omega (Y_0,\dots, Y_{n-1}, \lambda_0) \)-solutions of the equation (1) are obtained for \( \lambda_0 \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0; \frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\dots,\frac{n-2}{n-1},1 \} \). In Theorem 3.2, under additional conditions, sufficient conditions for the existence of \( P_\omega (Y_0,\dots, Y_{n-1}, \lambda_0) \)-solutions of equation (1) for \( \lambda_0 \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0; \frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\dots,\frac{n-2}{n-1},1 \} \) are found. Theorem 3.3 is devoted to the case \( \lambda_0=1\), necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of the analyzed class of \( P_\omega (Y_0,\dots, Y_{n-1}, 1) \)-solutions are formulated. The authors also obtain the asymptotic representations of such solutions and their first-order derivatives, and specify the number of such solutions for \( \lambda_0 \in \mathbb{R} \setminus \{0; \frac{1}{2},\frac{2}{3},\dots,\frac{n-2}{n-1},1 \} \) and for \( \lambda_0=1\). In my opinion, the results presented in the article are very important for the further study of asymptotic representations of solutions of \(n\)-th-order differential equations with nonlinearities of different types.
