Existence of solutions for second-order differential equations and systems on infinite intervals

Toufik Moussaoui, Radu Precup

Abstract:
We study the existence of nontrivial solutions to the boundary-value problem
$$\displaylines{ -u''+cu'+\lambda u = f(x,u),\quad -\infty <x<+\infty , \cr u(-\infty )=u(+\infty ) =0 }$$
and to the system
$$\displaylines{ -u''+c_1u'+\lambda _1u = f(x,u,v),\quad -\infty <x<+\infty , \cr -v''+c_2v'+\lambda _2v = g(x,u,v),\quad -\infty <x<+\infty , \cr u(-\infty )=u(+\infty ) =0, \quad v(-\infty )=v(+\infty ) =0, }$$
where $c,c_1,c_2,\lambda ,\lambda _1,\lambda _2$ are real positive constants and the nonlinearities $f$ and $g$ satisfy suitable conditions. The proofs are based on fixed point theorems.
