The existence of positive solutions of a second order differential equation of the form z"+ g(t) f (z)=0 (1.1) with suitable boundary conditions has proved to be important in theory and applications whether g is continuous in [0, 1] or g has singularities. These equations often arise in the study

โฆ Synopsis
This is an attempt to establish a link between positive solutions of semilinear equations Lu=& (u) and Lv= (v) where L is a second order elliptic differential operator and is a positive function. The equations were investigated separately by a number of authors. We try to link them via positive solutions of a linear equation Lu=0 (we call them L-harmonic functions). Let D be an arbitrary open subset of R d and let U(D), V(D) and H(D) stand for the sets of all positive solutions in D for three equations mentioned above. We establish a 1 1 correspondence between certain subclasses of these classes. Similar results are obtained also for the corresponding parabolic equations. A probabilistic interpretation in terms of a superdiffusion is given in [1].

Under the assumption of uniformly continuity, we establish a composition theorem of pseudo almost-periodic functions in general Banach spaces. As an application, we give some existence theorems of pseudo almost-periodic solutions and mild pseudo almost-periodic solutions for some differential equati
We introduce a method to obtain explicitly periodic solutions of some types of functional differential equations whose periods depend rationally on integral delays. Several applications of this method are given.
