  • This note Presents sufficient conditions for Lyapunov's stability and instability of a class of nonlinear nonautonomous second-order ordinary differential equations. Such a class includes as particular cases a remarkably large number of differential equations with specific physical applications. Two successive nonlinear transformations are applied to the original differential equation in order to convert it into a more convenient form for stability analysis purposes. The obtained stability / instability conditions depend closely on the parameterization of the original differential equation.

  • The purpose of this paper is to investigate the controllability of certain types of second order nonlinear impulsive systems with statedependent delay. Sufficient conditions are formulated and the results are established by using a fixed point approach and the cosine function theory Finally examples are presented to illustrate the theory.

  • In this paper we study the existence of multiple periodic solutions of second-order ordinary differential equations. New results of multiplicity of periodic solutions are obtained when the nonlinearity may cross multiple consecutive eigenvalues. The arguments are proceeded by a combination of variational and degree theoretic methods.

  • In this paper, a new method for finding the approximate solution of a second order nonlinear partial differential equation is introduced. In this method the problem is transformed to an equivalent optimization problem. them , by considering it as a distributed parameter control system the theory of measure is used for obtaining the approximate solution of the original problem.

  • By means of a Riccati transform some oscillation or nonoscillation criteria are established for nonlinear differential equations of second order $$(E_1)\;[p(t)|x#(t)|^{\alpha}sgn\;x#(t)]#+q(t)|x(\tau(t)|^{\alpha}sgn\;x(\tau(t))=0$$. $$(E_2),\;(E_3)\;and\;(E_4)\;where\;0<{\alpha}$$ and $${\tau}(t){\leq}t,\;{\tau}#(t)>0,\;{\tau}(t){\rightarrow}{\infty}\;as\;t{\rightarrow}{\infty}$$. In this paper we improve some previous results.
