A class of axially symmetric problems, concerning a highly elastic, circular rubber sheet with (a) a centered circular hole, (b) a rigid circular inclusion under outward radial loading at outer boundary, and (c) a rigid outer boundary and a concentric hole under inward radial loading around the hole, is solved. The solution of (a) has been obtained by Rivlin and Thomas [1] by solving simultaneously a set of differential equations numerically. In this paper, their equations are reduced to a single second-order differential equation governing the deformation function ρ(r). This is further reduced to two decoupled first-order equations after introducing the phase plane (λ1 – λ2 plane). The solutions are obtained conveniently in the phase plane by Picard’s method and by straightforward numerical integration.

Abstract The main purpose of this paper is to obtain an exact expression of the positive periodic solution for a first-order differential equation with attractive and repulsive singularities. Moreover, we prove the existence of at least one positive periodic solution for this equation with an indefinite singularity by applications of topological degree theorem, and give the upper and lower bounds of the positive periodic solution.

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.

We analyze the world volume solitons of a D3-brane probe in the background of parallel (p, q) five-branes. The D3-brane is embedded along the directions transverse to the five-branes of the background. By using the S duality invariance of the D3-brane, we find a first-order differential equation whose solutions saturate an energy bound. The SO(3) invariant solutions of this equation are found analytically. They represent world volume solitons which can be interpreted as formed by parallel (-q, p) strings emanating from the D3-brane world volume. It is shown that these configurations are 1/4 supersymmetric and provide a world volume realization of the Hanany–Witten effect.

Huta [1], [2] has given two processes for solving a first order differential equation to sixth order accuracy. His methods are each eight stage Runge-Kutta processes and differ mainly in that the later process has simpler coefficients occurring in it.
