It is well known that along any stable manifold the dynamics travels with an exponential rate. Moreover, this rate is close to the slowest exponential rate along the stable direction of the linearization, provided that the nonlinear part is sufficiently small. In this note, we show that whenever there is also a fastest finite exponential rate along the stable direction of the linearization, similarly we can establish a lower bound for the speed of the nonlinear dynamics along the stable manifold. We consider both cases of discrete and continuous time, as well as a nonuniform exponential behaviour.

In this paper, we first prove an existence theorem for the integrodifferential equation (*)where f,k,x are functions with values in a Banach space E and the integral is taken in the sense of Henstock–Kurzweil–Pettis. In the second part of the paper we show that the set S of all solutions of the problem (*) is compact and connected in (C(Id,E),ω), where .

This paper gives several monotonicity properties of all oscillatory solutions of equations with separable and nonseparable nonlinearities which are more general than the Emden- Fowler equations

Principally, if x(t) is an oscillatory solution, conditions are given such that; if a(t)↑ ∞ as t → ∞, then x(t) → 0; and, if a(t) ↓ 0 as t → ∞, then lim sup | x(t) | = ∞.
