On the existence of solutions to higher-order regular nonlinear Emden–Fowler type equations with given number of zeros on the prescribed interval. (English) Zbl 1394.34059

From the introduction: Consider the equation \[ y^{(n)}+ p(t,y,y',\dots, y^{(n-1)})|y|^k\,\text{sgn\,}y= 0,\tag{1} \] where \(n\geq 2\), \(k\in (1,+\infty)\), the function \(p(t,y_1,y_2,y_3,\dots, y_n)\in C(\mathbb{R}^{n-1})\) is Lipschitz cntinuous in \((y_1,y_2,y_3,\dots, y_n)\) and for some \(m\), \(M>0\) satisfies the inequalities \[ 0<m\leq p(t,y_1,y_2,\dots, y_n)\leq M<+\infty. \] The problem of the existence of solutions to (1) with the given number of zeros on a prescribe domain is investigated.
