Abstract

This paper presents two theorems concerning the nonlinear differential equation x+c(t)f(x)x+a(t,x)=e(t), where e(t) is a continuous square-integrable function. The first theorem gives sufficient conditions when all the solutions of this equation are bounded while the second theorem discusses when all the solutions are in L2[0,).
