Asymptotic Properties of Solutions of Nonautonomous Ordinary Differential Equations

This volume provides a comprehensive review of the development which have taken place during the last thirty years concerning the asymptotic properties of solutions of nonautonomous ordinary differential equations. The conditions of oscillation of solutions are established, and some general theorems on the classification of equations according to their oscillatory properties are proved. In addition, the conditons are found under which nonlinear equations do not have singular, proper, oscillatory and monotone solutions. The book has five chapters: Chapter 1 deals with linear differential equations: Chapter 2 with quasilinear equations: Chapter 3 with general nonlinear differential equations; and Chapters 4 and 5 deal, respectively, with higher-order and second-order differential equations of the Emden-Fowler type. Each section contains problems, including some which presently remain unsolved. The volume concludes with an extensive list of references. For researchers and graduate students interested in the qualitative theory of differential equations.
