Abstract The solar radiation has a destabilizing influence on planetary rings. The shepherding satellites explain the persistence of these structures,…
Abstract The particular version of the inverse problem of dynamics considered here is: given the ‘slope function’ \(\gamma =f_{y}/f_{x}\), representing…
Abstract An upper and lower solution theory is presented for the Dirichlet boundary value problem \(y^{\prime\prime}+f(t,y,y^{\prime})=0\), \(0<t <1\) with \(y(0)=y(1)=0\).…
