Comparison results and existence of bounded solutions to strongly nonlinear second order differential equations
2009
We investigate the existence of bounded solutions on the whole real
line of the following strongly non-linear non-autonomous
differential equation
$$
(a(x(t))x'(t))'= f(t,x(t),x'(t)) \quad \text{a.e } t\in \mathbb R
\tag \text{\rm E}
$$
where $a(x)$ is a
generic continuous positive function, $f$ is a Caratheodory
right-hand side.
We get existence results by combining the upper and lower-solutions
method to fixed-point techniques. We also provide operative
comparison criteria ensuring the well-ordering of pairs of upper and
lower-solutions.
