We have been working in many aspects of the problem of analyzing, understanding and solving ordinary differential equations (first and second order). As we have extensively mentioned, while working in the Darboux type methods, the most…
A new problem is studied, the concept of exactness of a second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations is established. A method is constructed to reduce this class into a first order equations. If the second order equation is not…
In this paper, we first construct generalized $q^2$-cosine, $q^2$-sine and $q^2$-exponential functions. We then use $q^2$-exponential function in order to define and investigate a $q^2$-Fourier transform. We establish $q$-analogues of…
This article handles in a short manner a few Laplace transform pairs and some extensions to the basic equations are developed. They can be applied to a wide variety of functions in order to find the Laplace transform or its inverse when…
In this work, we investigate the existence of positive solutions for a multi-point boundary value problem for a second order delay differential equation. Under certain growth conditions on the nonlinearity, and by the mean of Leray-Schauder…

The purpose of this note is to present a formulation of a given nonlinear ordinary differential equation into an equivalent system of linear ordinary differential equations. It is evident that the easiness of a such procedure would be able…
One of the difficulties encountered when studying physical theories in discrete space-time is that of describing the underlying continuous symmetries (like Lorentz, or Galilei invariance). One of the ways of addressing this difficulty is to…
