| Research Abstract |
The present research project is devoted to the investigation of the oscillatory behavior of various types of differential equations involving the nonlinear Sturm-Liouville differential operators. The main results obtained are as follows.
(1)We have established Picorie-type identities for the nonlinear Sturm-Liouville operators and have applied them to the study of comparison and oscillation of solutions to half-linear ordinary and partial differential equations. We observe that it has long been unknown whether there is a class of nonlinear differential operators for which a Picone-type identity can be established.
(2)We have developed a theory of generalized trigonometric functions, on the basis of which one can successfully construct an exact nonlinear analogue of the well-known Sturmian theory for linear differential equations. The generalized Prufer transformations thus defined has made it possible to count the number of zeros of nonoscillatory solutions to a certain class of half-linear ordinary differential equations.
(3)We have made a detailed analysis of the asymptotic behavior of positive solutions to some nonlinear Sturm-Liouville equations with singularities. A similar analysis has also been made of differential equations involving singular Sturm-Liouville operators. As an unexpected byproduct we have discovered a new type of singular solution which has never appeared in the literature.
(4)Regarding the oscillation of functional differential equations, we have established (i) a new comparison theorem holding for a special class of non-neutral equations and (ii) an effective criterion for oscillation of neutral equations involving the nonlinear Sturm-Liouville differential operators.
