Nonoscillating unbounded solutions to Emden-Fowler systems of arbitrary order (Q5926581)

The author deals with the system of Emden-Fowler differential equations \[ \dot u_i(t)= p_i(t)|u_{i+1}(t)|^{\lambda_i} \text{sgn }u_{i+1}(t),\quad i= 1,\dots, n,\quad u_{n+1}(t)\equiv u_1(t),\tag{1} \] where the \(p_i: [a,+\infty)\to [0,+\infty)\), \(i= 1,\dots, n\), are locally integrable functions, the \(\lambda_i\), \(i= 1,\dots, n\), are positive constants satisfying \(\text{mes }T(t,+\infty)\) for \(t> a\), \(\prod^n_{i=1} \lambda_i> 1\), and \(T(s,t)\equiv \bigcap^n_{i=1} T_i(s,t)\), \(t>s\), \(T_i(s,t)\equiv \{\tau\in (s,t): p_i(\tau)> 0\}\). The attention is focused on the solutions \(u= (u_i)^n_{i=1}\) with the initial data \[ u_i(t_0)= u_{i,0}> 0,\quad i= 1,\dots, n,\quad t_0\geq a,\tag{2} \] defined on a finite or infinite interval \([t_0, t_u)\) and satisfying the condition \[ 0< u_i(t)\uparrow+\infty,\quad i= 1,\dots, n\quad\text{as }t\uparrow t_u\leq+\infty.\tag{3} \] It is assumed that \(t_u\) satisfies the condition \(\text{mes }T(t, t_u)> 0\), \(t\in [t_0, t_u)\). A solution satisfying (3) with \(t_u= \infty\) is said to be proper rapidly growing and if \(t_u< \infty\) is said to be singular of second kind. A diversity of properties of the solutions to (1), (2), (3) is investigated concerning the successive integral approximations and their asymptotic behaviour. Two-sides asymptotic estimates on proper and singular solutions are obtained. Also the existence is proved for the second kind singular solutions which are extendable to the right or not and for the singular solutions with the given vertical asymptote \(t= t^*\). On the other hand, some estimates are stated on the proper rapidly growing solutions.
