Abstract This paper is concerned with periodic boundary value problems involving first order differential equations with functional arguments. The main feature of the paper is that the existence of maximal and minimal solutions is obtained by constructing sequences of upper and lower solutions of the initial value problems and not by establishing the comparison principle.

AbstractIn this paper, we establish existence and multiplicity results for systems of first-order differential equations. To this end, we introduce the method of solution-regions. It generalizes the method of upper and lower solutions and the method of solution-tubes. Our results can also be seen as viability results since we obtain solutions remaining in suitable regions. We give conditions insuring the existence of at least three viable solutions of a system of first-order differential equations. Many examples are presented to show that a large variety of sets can be solution-regions.

We discuss a third-order differential equation, involving a general form of nonlinearity. We obtain results describing how suitable coefficient functions determine the asymptotic and (non-)oscillatory behavior of solutions. We use comparison technique with first-order differential equations together with the Kusano–Naito’s and Philos’ approaches.
