    Principal and Nonprincipal Solutions of Impulsive Differential Equations With Applications
    (Elsevier Science inc, 2010) Ozbekler, A.; Zafer, A.
    We introduce the concept of principal and nonprincipal solutions for second order differential equations having fixed moments of impulse actions is obtained. The arguments are based on Polya and Trench factorizations as in non-impulsive differential equations, so we first establish these factorizations. Making use of the existence of nonprincipal solutions we also establish new oscillation criteria for nonhomogeneous impulsive differential equations. Examples are provided with numerical simulations to illustrate the relevance of the results. (C) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

    Sturmian theory for second order differential equations with mixed nonlinearities
    (Elsevier Science inc, 2015) Ozbekler, A.
    In the paper, Sturmian comparison theory is developed for the pair of second order differential equations; first of which is the nonlinear differential equations (m(t)y')' + s(t)y' + Sigma(n)(i=1)q(i)(t)vertical bar y vertical bar(proportional to j-1)y = 0, with mixed nonlinearities alpha(1) > ... > alpha(m) > 1 > alpha(m+1) > ... > alpha(n), and the second is the non-selfadjoint differential equations (k(t)x')' + r(t)x' + p(t)x = 0. Under the assumption that the solution of Eq. (2) has two consecutive zeros, we obtain Sturm-Picone type and Leighton type comparison theorems for Eq. (1) by employing the new nonlinear version of Picone's formula that we derive. Wirtinger type inequalities and several oscillation criteria are also attained for Eq. (1). Examples are given to illustrate the relevance of the results. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
