Abstract

We consider a boundary value problem for a differential equation with deviating arguments and p-Laplacian: -(ϕp(x))+ddtF(x)+g(t,x(t),x(δ(t)), x'(t), x'(τ(t))) = 0, t ∈ [0,1]; x(t)=φ̲(t), t ≤ 0; x(t)=φ¯(t), t ≥ 1. An existence result is obtained with the help of the Leray-Schauder degree theory, with no restriction on the damping forces d/dt grad F(x).

Keywords

a priori bounds, boundary value problems, existence theorems, differential equations with deviating arguments, Leray-Schauder degree, p-Laplacian
