Methods in half-linear asymptotic theory

From MaRDI portal





The author considers the second order half-linear differential equation NEWLINE\[NEWLINE (r(t)\Phi(y'))'=p(t)\Phi(y), NEWLINE\]NEWLINE where \(r\), \(p\) are positive continuous functions on \([a,\infty)\) and \(\Phi(u)=|u|^{\alpha-1}\mathop{\mathrm{sgn}} u\) with \(\alpha >1\).NEWLINENEWLINEUsing a wide variety of classical tools from the theory of half-linear differential equation and from the regular variation theory, the author derives new results related to the asymptotic behavior of the solutions. The tools include Karamata theory of regular variations, the de Haan theory, the Riccati method, comparison theory, the reciprocity principle, transformation theory, principal solutions. The author completes his earlier research [the author and \textit{V. Taddei}, Differ. Integral Equ. 29, No. 7--8, 683--714 (2016; Zbl 1374.34206)] and derives asymptotic formula for the cases not covered by the previous paper. Several important corollaries and consequences of the main general result are also presented. Last but not least, the author summarizes the availability of other methods in the theory of half-linear equations.
