Existence of \(V\)-bounded solutions for non-autonomous nonlinear systems via the Ważewski topological principle (Q2850489)

The authors study a nonlinear non-autonomous system of ordinary differential equations. The problem under consideration concerns the existence of global (defined on the entire time axis) solutions of the system. They apply the Ważewski topological principle and find new sufficient conditions for the existence of global solutions of the system. They also consider a quasiconvex Lagrangian system of mechanical type with time-varying holonomic constraints and establish sufficient conditions for the existence of global solutions such that the Lagrangian function remains bounded. The case of almost periodic Lagrangian is also discussed.
