Analytical properties like existence, uniqueness, and asymptotic behavior of solutions are studied for the following singular initial value problem: gity itaiyit1fit, yt,t 0Kit, s, yt, ysds,y i00,t∈0,t 0,whereyy1,...,y n,a i>0,i1,...,nare constants and t0>0. An approach which combines topological method of T. Wa˙ zewski and Schauder’s fixed point theorem is used. Particular attention is paid to construction of asymptotic expansions of solutions for certain classes of systems of integrodifferential equations in a right-hand neighbourhood of a singular point. 1. Introduction and Preliminaries Singular initial value problem for ordinary differential and integro-differential equations is fairly well studied see, e.g., 1–16, but the asymptotic properties of the solutions of such equations are only partially understood. Although the singular initial value problems were widely considered using various methods see, e.g., 1–13,16, our approach to this problem is essentially different from others known in the literature. In particular, we use a combination of the topological method of T. Wa˙ zewski 8and Schauder’s fixed point theorem 11.Our technique leads to the existence and uniqueness of solutions with asymptotic estimates in the right-hand neighbourhood of a singular point. Asymptotic expansions of solutions are constructed for certain classes of systems of integrodifferential equations as well. Consider the following problem: gity itaiyit1fit, yt,t 0 Kit, s, yt,ysds,1.1

Let assumptions (i) and (ii) hold, then for each Ci/ 0there is one solution yt, C y1t, C1,y 2t, C2,...,y nt, Cn,CC1,...,C nof initial problem 1.1and 1.2such that yj it, Ci−ϕj it, Ci≤δϕ2 it, Cij,j0,1,2.1 for t∈0,t Δ,where0<t Δ≤t0,δ>1is a constant, and tΔdepends on δ, Ci,i1,...,n. Proof. 1Denote Ethe Banach space of vector-valued continuous functions hton the interval 0,t 0with the norm htmax t∈0,t0|hit|,i1,...,n. 2.2 The subset Sof Banach space Ewill be the set of all functions htfrom Esatisfying the inequality hit−ϕit, Ci≤δϕ2 it, Ci.2.3 The set Sis nonempty, convex, and closed. 2Now we will construct the mapping P.Leth0t∈Sbe an arbitrary function. Substituting h0t,h0sinstead of yt,ysinto 1.1, we obtain the following differential equation: gity itaiyit1fit, yt,t 0 Kit, s, h0t,h0sds,i1,...,n. 2.4 Put yitϕit, Ciϕ1−μ it, CiY0it,2.5 y itϕ it, C1 gitϕ1−μ it, CiY1it,2.6 where 0 <μ<1 is a constant and new functions Y0it,Y1itsatisfy the differential equations as gitY 0itμ−1aiY0itY1it,i1,...,n. 2.7 From 2.3, it follows h0itϕit, CiH0it,|H0it|≤δϕ2 it, Ci.2.8

NowweuseWa ˙ zewski’s topological method. Consider an open set Ω⊂R×Rn. Denote Y0Y01,...,Y 0n. Define an open subset Ω0⊂Ωas follows: Ω0{t, Y0:uit, Y0<0,vt, Y0<0,i1,...,n }, Uα{t, Y0:uαt, Y00,u it, Y0≤0,vt, Y0≤0,i1,...,n,i/ α}, VβVt, Y0:vt, Y00,u jt, Y0≤0,i1,...,n , 2.11 where uit, Y0Y2 0i−δϕ1μ it, Ci2,v t, Y0t−t0,i1,...,n. 2.12

These both identities imply that the powers of ϕit, Ciaffect the convergence to zero of the terms in 2.13, in a decisive way. Using the assumptions of Theorem 2.1 and the definition of Y0t,ϕit, Ci,i1,...,n, we get that the first term μY2 0αt, Cαin 2.13has the following form: μY2 0αtμδ2ϕ21μ αt, Cα,2.17
Abstract and Applied Analysis 7 and the second term Y0αtϕμ αt, CαY2 0αt ×fαt, ϕ1t, C1ϕ1−μ 1t, C1Y01t,...,ϕ nt, Cn ϕ1−μ nt, CnY0nt,t 0 Kαt, s, ϕ1t, C1H01t,...,ϕ nt, Cn H0nt,ϕ 1s, C1H01s,...ϕ ns, Cn H0nsds. 2.18 is bounded by terms with exponents which are greater than ϕ21μ αt, Cα,α1,...,n.From here, we obtain sgn ˙uαt, Y0−δ21μϕ21μ αt, Cα−12.19 for sufficiently small t∗, depending on Cαα1,...,n,δ,0<t ∗≤t0. It is obvious that sgn ˙vt, Y01. Change the orientation of the axis t into opposite. Then, with respect to the new system of coordinates, the set Ω0is the u, vsubset with respect to system 2.10.ByWa ˙ zewski’s topological method, we state that there exists at least one integral curve of 2.10lying in Ω0 for t∈0,t ∗. It is obvious that this assertion remains true for an arbitrary function h0t∈S. Now we prove the uniqueness of a solution of 2.10.LetY0tY01t,...,Y0nt be also the solution of 2.10. Putting Z0iY0i−Y0i,i1,...,n 2.20 and substituting into 2.10,weobtain gitZ 0itμaiY0itaiϕμ it, CiaiZ0it ×fit, ϕ1t, C1ϕ1−μ 1t, C1Z0itY01t,...,ϕ nt, Cn ϕ1−μ nt, CnZ0ntY0nt, t 0 Kit, s, ϕ1t, C1H01t,...,ϕ nt, Cn H0nt,ϕ 1s, C1H01s,...ϕ ns, CnH0nsds. 2.21

It is obvious that Ω0⊂Ω1δfor t∈0,t ♦.LetZ0t Z01t,...,Z0nt be any nonzero solution of 2.10such that t1,Z0t1 ∈Ω1for 0 <t 1<t ♦. Let δ∈0,δbe such a constant that t1,Z0t1 ∈∂Ω1δ. If the curve Z0tlay in Ω1δfor 0<t<t 1, then t1,Z0t1 would have to be a strict egress point of ∂Ω1δwith respect to the original system of coordinates. This contradicts the relation 2.24. Therefore there exists only the trivial solution Z0t≡0of2.21,soY0Y0tis the unique solution of 2.10. From 2.5we obtain yit, Ci−ϕit, Ci≤δϕ2 it, Ci,i1,...,n, 2.25 where y1t, C1,...,y nt, Cn is the solution of 2.4for t∈0,t ♦. Similarly, from 2.6and 2.9, we have y it, Ci−ϕ it, Ci 1 gitϕ1−μ it, CiY1it ≤ 1 gitϕ1−μ it, Ci2aiδϕ1−μ it, Ci δϕ2 it, Ci. 2.26 It is obvious after a continuous extension of yt, Cfor t0, y00that P:h0→ymaps Sinto itself and PS ⊂S. 3We will prove that PSis relatively compact and Pis a continuous mapping. It is easy to see, by 2.25and 2.26,thatPS is the set of uniformly bounded and equicontinuous functions for t∈0,t ♦. By Ascoli’s theorem, PSis relatively compact. Let {hkt}be an arbitrary sequence vector-valued functions in Ssuch that hkt−h0tk,lim k→∞k0,h0t∈S. 2.27
Abstract and Applied Analysis 9 The solution YktYk1,...,Yknof the following equation: gitY 0itμaiY0itaiϕμ it, CiaiY0it ×fit, ϕ1t, C1ϕ1−μ 1t, C1Y01t,...,ϕ nt, Cnϕ1−μ nt, CnY0nt, t 0 Kit, s, ϕ1t, C1H01t,...,ϕ nt, Cn H0nt,ϕ 1s, C1Hk1s,...ϕ ns, CnHknsds. 2.28 corresponds to the function hktand Ykt∈Ω0for t∈0,t ♦. Similarly, the solution Y0t of 2.10corresponds to the function h0t. We will show that |Ykt−Y0t|→0 uniformly on 0,t Δ, where 0 <t Δ≤t♦,tΔis a sufficiently small constant which will be specified later. Consider the following region: Ω0kt, Y0:0<t<t ♦,u 0kit, Y0<0,v 0t, Y0<0,i1,...,n ,2.29 where u0kit, Y0Y0it−Y0it2−kϕ1μ−ν it, Ci2,0<ν<α, i1,...,n, k≥1, v0t, Y0t−t♦. 2.30 There exists sufficiently small constant tΔ≤t♦such that Ω0⊂Ω0kfor any k,t∈0,t Δ. Investigate the behaviour of integral curves of 2.28with respect to the boundary ∂Ω0k,t∈ 0,t Δ. Using the same method as above, we obtain the following trajectory derivatives: sgn ˙u0kt, Y0−1,sgn ˙v0t, Y012.31 for t∈0,t Δand any k.ByWa˙ zewski’s topological method, there exists at least one solution Yktlying in Ω0k,0<t<t Δ. Hence, it follows that Ykit−Y0it≤kϕ1μ−ν i≤Nik,2.32 Ni>0, i1,...,nare constants depending on Ci,tΔ.From2.5,weobtain ykit−y0itϕ1−μ it, CiYkit−Y0it≤nik,2.33 where ni>0, i1,...,nare constants depending on tΔ,Ci,Ni. This estimate implies that P is continuous.

By Theorem 3.1., we have u11 2t2Ot2ν1,ν 1∈1,3 2.3.21 Second equation 3.19is different from 3.18only in the constant a−1. Thus u2t2Ot2ν2,ν 2∈1,3 2.3.22 Substituting solutions 3.21and 3.22into 3.15instead of integral terms, we obtain for unknown coefficients f12,f 22 the following differential equations: t2f 12 −f12 1 2tOt2ν1−3,3.23 t2f 22 −f22 t5/2Ot2ν21/2.3.24 For 3.23, we can put a−1,b 0t1 2,g λtt2−1/2,λ−1 2,b 1t1, ν1−1,g tt22gt1/2⇒λ11 2,b 0t0·gλ2t. 3.25 Then we can choose a constant λ21>1/2. By Theorem 3.1., we get f12t1 2tOt2ν12 ,f 12tOt2ν12−2,ν 12 ∈−1 2,0.3.26 Similarly for 3.24, we can put a−1, b0t1, gλtt25/4,λ5/4,b 1t1, ν2−1, gtt22gt1/2⇒λ11 2,b 0t0·gλ2t.3.27 Then we can choose a constant λ21>1/2. By Theorem 3.1., we have f22tt5/2Ot2ν22 ,f 22tOt2ν22−2,ν 22 ∈5 4,7 4.3.28
Abstract and Applied Analysis 17 Substituting coefficients f12,f22 into 3.16and using the same method as in the calculation of coefficients f12,f22, we have f13t1 12t2Ot2ν13 ,f 13tOt2ν13−1,ν 13 ∈−1,−1 2, f23t1 4t3/2Ot2ν23 ,f 23tOt2ν23−1,ν 23 ∈3 4,5 4. 3.29 Thus the solution of system 3.11has for h3 the following asymptotic expansions: y1≈φt, C1 2tOt2ν12 φ2t, C1 12t2Ot2ν13 φ3t, C, y2≈φt, Ct5/2Ot2ν22 φ2t, C1 4t3/2Ot2ν23 φ3t, C. 3.30 Acknowledgments The first author is supported by Grant FEKT-S-11-2-921 of the Faculty of Electrical Engineering and Communication, Brno University of Technology and Grant P201/11/0768 of the Czech Grant Agency Prague.
