    This document provides 6 potential problems to choose from for a qualifying exam in differential equations. Problem 1 asks to show uniqueness of solutions for a system of differential equations where one equation is Lipschitz and the other depends on the solution of the first. Problem 2 asks to prove two orbitally stable periodic solutions surrounding one another cannot both be orbitally stable. Problem 3 asks to show a given differential equation has a 2π-periodic solution. Problem 4 asks to prove an equilibrium is unstable given properties of the linearization. Problem 5 asks to determine stability of an equilibrium of a 3D system. Problem 6 asks to prove properties of the omega limit set of a bounded solution.

    QUALIFYING EXAM –Differential Equations, May 2010

    Name:

    Choose six problems

    1. Let g : IR → IR be Lipschitz and f : IR → IR be continuous. Show that the system

    x′ = g(x), y ′ = f (x)y,

    has at most one solution on any interval , for a given initial value.

    2. Consider the differential equation ẋ = f (x) on the plane. Suppose that there are two nonconstant
    periodic solutions for which one surrounds another and the region bounded by these two periodic
    solutions contains neither a periodic solution nor an equilibrium. Prove that these two periodic
    solutions cannot both be orbitally stable.

    3. Show that ( ) ( )
    1 0 −|x| 1
    ẋ = x+e cos t
    0 2 2
    has a 2π-periodic solution.

    4. Consider the following differential equation

    ẋ = Ax + f (x),

    where x ∈ IR2 and f : IR2 → IR2 is C 1 and f (0) = 0, f ′ (0) = 0. Assume that A has a positive and
    a negative eigenvalues. Prove that x = 0 is unstable.

    5. Determine the stability of equilibrium (x, y, z) = 0 of the following equations

    x′ = 2y(z − 1),
    y ′ = −x(z − 1),
    z ′ = −z 3 .

    6. Let x(t, x0 ) be the solution of x′ = f (x) with initial condition x(0, x0 ) = x0 , where x ∈ IRn and
    f is a Lipschitz continuous function from IRn to IRn . Suppose {x(t, x0 ), t ≥ 0} is bounded. Prove
    that the omega-limit set ω(x0 ) is nonempty, compact, invariant and connetcted.

    7. Let V : IRn → IR be a C 2 function. Let z ∈ ω(x), the omega-limit set of x of the gradient
    system x′ = −gradV (x). Prove that z is an equilibrium.
