In the thesis we consider two types of problems. In Paper 1, we study small solutions to a time-independent nonlinear elliptic partial differential equation of Emden-Fowler type in a semi-infnite cylinder. The asymptotic behaviour of these solutions at infnity is determined. First, the equation under the Neumann boundary condition is studied. We show that any solution small enough either vanishes at infnity or tends to a nonzero periodic solution to a nonlinear ordinary differential equation. Thereafter, the same equation under the Dirichlet boundary condition is studied, the non-linear term and right-hand side now being slightly more general than in the Neumann problem. Here, an estimate of the solution in terms of the right-hand side of the equation is given. If the equation is homogeneous, then every solution small enough tends to zero. Moreover, if the cross-section is star-shaped and the nonlinear term in the equation is subject to some additional constraints, then every bounded solution to the homogeneous Dirichlet problem vanishes at infnity. In Paper 2, we study asymptotics as t → ∞ of solutions to a linear, parabolic system of equations with time-dependent coefficients in Ωx(0,∞), where Ω is a bounded domain. On δΩ(0,∞) we prescribe the homogeneous Dirichlet boundary condition. For large values of t, the coefficients in the elliptic part are close to time-independent coefficients in an integral sense which is described by a certain function κ(t). This includes in particular situations when the coefficients may take different values on different parts of Ω and the boundaries between them can move with t but stabilize as t → ∞. The main result is an asymptotic representation of solutions for large t. As a corollary, it is proved that if κєL1(0,∞), then the solution behaves asymptotically as the solution to a parabolic system with time-independent coefficients.

在這篇論文,我們考慮半線性微分方程式的初始邊界值問題之解u,的存在性,唯一性,和他的行為. (i) t^{-sigma}u''(t)=r_1u(t)^p+r_2u(t)^p(u'(t))^2, u(1)=u_0,u'(1)=u_1, 其中 p>1 為常數. 對t≥1,sigma>0,p>1 為偶數,r_1>0,r_2>0,u_0>0,u_1>0. 我們得到以下的結果.

回顧一個重要的非線性二階方程式 d/dt(t^p(du/dt))+(-)t^(sigma)u^n=0, 這個方程式有許多有趣的物理應用，以Emden方程式的形式發生在天體物理學中；也以Fermi-Thomas方程式的形式出現在原子物理內。對於此類型的非線性方程式可以用來更頻繁且深入的探討數學物理，雖然目前仍存在著些許不確定性，不過如果在未來能有更全面的了解，這將有助於用來決定物理解的性質。 在這篇論文當中，我們討論微分方程式 t^2u"=u^p，p屬於N-{1}, 其正解的性質。這個方程式是著名的 Emden-Fowler 方程式的一種特殊情形， 我們可以得到其解的一些有趣的現象及結果。 / Recall the important nonlinear second-order equation d/dt(t^p(du/dt))+(-)t^(sigma)u^n=0, this equation has several interesting physical applications, occurring in astrophysics in the form of the Emden equation and in atomic physics in the form of the Fermi-Thomas equation. These seems a little doubt that nonlinear equations of this type would enter with greater frequency into mathematical physics, were it more widely known with what ease the properties of the physical solutions can be determined. In this paper we discuss the property of positive solution of the ordinary differential equation t^2u"=u^p, p belongs to N-{1}, this equation is a special case of the well-known Emden-Fowler equation, we obtain some interesting phenomena and resulits for solutions.
