We analyze the existence of unique solutions of the following class of nonlinear three point singular boundary value problems (SBVPs), \begin{eqnarray*}\label{NL-Singular-P} &&-(x^{\alpha} y'(x))'= x^{\alpha}f(x,y),\quad 0<x<1,\\…

For ordinary differential equations in the complex domain, a central problem is to understand, in a given equation or class of equations, those whose solutions do not present multivaluedness. We consider autonomous, first-order, quadratic…

We study algebraic and transcendental powers of positive real numbers, including solutions of each of the equations $x^x=y$, $x^y=y^x$, $x^x=y^y$, $x^y=y$, and $x^{x^y}=y$. Applications to values of the iterated exponential functions are…

While iterating the quadratic polynomial f_{c}(x)=x^{2}+c the degree of the iterates grows very rapidly, and therefore solving the equations corresponding to periodic orbits becomes very difficult even for periodic orbits with a low period.…
