Variational properties of the solutions for second-order differential equations and systems on semi-line

3 years ago

Abstract

In this article, an abstract theory regarding variational properties of the fixed points of contractions and Perov contractions is applied to boundary value problems on semi-line for second-order differential equations and systems. The main result states that under suitable conditions the unique solution of such a system is a Nash-type equilibrium of the corresponding energy functionals.
