Initial value problems, existence, uniqueness, continuous dependence and continuation of solutions to ordinary differential equations (34A12)

Review text

The author deals with a quite large class of equations with nonconstant coefficients and jumping nonlinearity. He considers the initial value problem \[ \begin{cases} (-1)^n(a(t)\psi_p(u^{(n)}(t)))^{(n)}= b_1(t)\psi_{q_1}(u^+(t))-b_2(t)\psi_{q_2}(u^-(t)),\;t\in J,\\ u^{(i)}(t_0)=\alpha_i,\quad (a(t)\psi_p(u^{(n)}(t)))^{(j)}|_{t=t_0}=\beta_j,\quad i,j=\{0,1,\dots,n-1\},\end{cases}\tag{1} \] where \(J=[t_0,t_1]\), \(t_0<t_1\), or \(J=[t_0,\infty)\), \(n\in\mathbb{N}\), \(a,b_1,b_2\in C(J)\), \(a>0\), \(p,q_1,q_2>1\), \(\alpha_0,\dots,\alpha_{n-1},\beta_0,\dots,\beta_{n-1}\in\mathbb{R}\), \(u^+=\max\{u,0\}\), \(u^-=\max\{-u,0\}\), and \(\psi_m(s)=|s|^{m-2}s\) for \(s\neq 0\) with \(\psi_m(0)=0\). Under some relations between \(p,q_1,q_2\) and \(\alpha_i,\beta_j\), the author presents both global existence and uniqueness of solutions for (1).
