On analytic solutions of nonlinear differential functional equations with nonlinear deviations of arguments (Q4940437)

This paper deals with the equation \[ \dot x=f(t,x(\phi _1(t)),\ldots ,x(\phi_k(t)),\dot x(\psi _1(t)),\ldots ,\dot x(\psi _l(t))) \] with \(f:{\mathbb{R}}\times {\mathbb{R}}^{k}\times {\mathbb{R}}^{l}\mapsto {\mathbb{R}},\;\phi_i :{\mathbb{R}}\mapsto {\mathbb{R}},\;\psi_j :{\mathbb{R}}\mapsto {\mathbb{R}}\). The authors prove the existence of a solution which satisfies the condition \(x(0)=0,\;\dot x(0)=0\) under the following assumptions: 1) \(f,\;\phi _i,\;\psi _j\) are real analytic functions near the origins of the corresponding spaces and \(f(0)=\phi_i(0)=\psi_j(0)=0\); 2) \(0<\dot \phi_i(0)<1,\;0<\dot\psi_j(0)<1\); 3) \(\sum_{j=1}^{l}|\partial f(0) /\partial y_j|<1\). This solution is real analytic near the origin. It is also shown that the third condition can be replaced by the more general one: \(3')\) \(\sum_{j=1}^{l}\partial f(0) /\partial y_j (\dot \psi _j(0))^m\neq 1\), \(m=1,2,\ldots \).
