Problems of exisence and uniqueness of soluions of equaions of he form (.) and is more general versions, under various iniial condiions have been sudied by many auhors by using differen echniques.

Exisence and uniqueness heorems for cerain perurbed difference-differenial equaion are also given. 2. Main Resuls In proving exisence of soluion of (.)-(.2), we use he following opological ransversaliy heorem given by Granas [5, p.6]. Lemma 2.. Le B be a convex subse of a normed linear space E and assume B. Le F : B B be a compleely coninuous operaor and le U(F ) {x : x λf x} for some < λ <. Then eiher U(F ) is unbounded or F has a fixed poin. We also need he following inegral inequaliy, ofen referred o as Bihari s inequaliy [8, p. 7]. Lemma 2.2. Le u(), p() C(R, R ). Le w(u) be a coninuous, nondecreasing funcion defined on R, w(u) > for u > and w(). If u() c p(s)w(u(s)), for R, c is a consan, hen for, u() W [ ] W (c) p(s), W (r) r r w(s), r >, r >, W is he inverse funcion of W and R be chosen so ha W (c) for all R lying in he inerval. p(s) Dom(W ), The following heorem deals wih he Winner ype global exisence resul for he soluion of (.)-(.2).

EJDE-29/49 EXISTENCE AND UNIQUENESS THEOREMS 3 Theorem 2.3. Suppose ha he funcion f in (.) saisfies he condiion f(, x, y) h()[g( x ) g( y )], (2.) h C(J, R) and g : R (, ) is coninuous and nondecreasing funcion. Then (.)-(.2) has a soluion x() defined on J provided T saisfies T [h(s) h(s )] < α x α g(s), (2.2) h(s)g( φ(s) ). (2.3) Proof. The proof will be given in hree seps. Sep I. To use Lemma, we esablish he priori boun on he soluions of he problem x () λf(, x(), x( )), (2.4) under he iniial condiions (.2) for λ (, ). Le x() be a soluion of (2.4)-(.2), hen we consider he following wo cases. Case : <. From he hypoheses, we have x() x x α λf(s, x(s), φ(s)) h(s)[g( x(s) ) g( φ(s) )] h(s)g( x(s) ).

From he hypoheses, we have x() x x x α λf(s, x(s), φ(s)) h(s)[g( x(s) ) g( φ(s) )] h(s)[g( x(s) ) g( x(s ) )] h(s)g( φ(s) ) h(s)g( x(s) ) h(s)g( x(s) ) I I λf(s, x(s), x(s )) h(s)g( x(s) ) h(s)g( x(s ) ) By he change of variable, from (2.9), we observe ha I h(σ )g( x(σ) )dσ Using his inequaliy in (2.8), we obain x() α (2.8) h(s)g( x(s ) ). (2.9) h(σ )g( x(σ) )dσ. (2.) [h(s) h(s )]g( x(s) ). (2.) Le v() be defined by he righ hand side of (2.), hen v() α, x() v() and ha is, v () [h() h( )]g( x() ) [h() h( )]g(v()); v () [h() h( )].

Sep II. We define B C(J, R n ) o be he Banach space of all coninuous funcions from J ino R n endowed wih sup norm defined above. We rewrie he problem (.)-(.2) as follows. If y B and x() y() x, i is easy o see ha y() f(s, y(s) x, φ(s)),

(2.2) F b m () γ γ T [h(s) h(s )]g( b m (s) x ) 2Ng(b x ) γ 2NT g(b x ). (2.2) From (2.6) and (2.2), i follows ha {F b m } is uniformly bounded. Sep III. We shall show ha he sequence {F b m } is equiconinuous. Le {b m } and N be as in Sep II. We mus consider hree cases. Case : and are conained in <. From (2.4), i follows ha F b m () F b m ( ) f(s, b m (s) x, φ(s)) f(s, b m (s) x, φ(s)) f(s, b m (s) x, φ(s)). From he above equaliy and hypoheses, we have (2.22) F b m () F b m ( ) f(s, b m (s) x, φ(s)) h(s)[g( b m (s) x ) g( φ(s) )] N[g(b x ) g( c )] N[g(b x ) g( c )]. (2.23) Case 2: and are conained in T.

(2.28) Case 3: and are respecively conained in [, ) and [, T ]. From (2.4) and (2.5), i follows ha F b m () F b m ( ) f(s, b m (s) x, φ(s)) f(s, b m (s) x, φ(s)) f(s, b m (s) x, φ(s)) f(s, b m (s) x, b m (s ) x ). From (2.29) and using he hypoheses, we have F b m () F b m ( ) f(s, b m (s) x, φ(s)) f(s, b m (s) x, b m (s ) x ) h(s)[g( b m (s) x ) g( φ(s) )] f(s, b m (s) x, b m (s ) x ) f(s, b m (s) x, φ(s)) h(s)[g( b m (s) x ) g( b m (s ) x )] N[g(b x ) g( c )] M( ), N[g(b x ) g(b x )] (2.29) (2.3)

By Arzela- Ascoli heorem (see [4,7]), he operaor F is compleely coninuous. Moreover, he se U(F ) {y B : y λf y, λ (, )} is bounded, since for every y in U(F ) he funcion x() y() x is a soluion of (2.4)-(.2), for which we have proved x Q and hence y Q x. Now, an applicaion of Lemma, he operaor F has a fixed poin in B. This means ha (.)-(.2) has a soluion. The proof is complee. Remark. We noe ha he advanage of our approach here is ha, i yiel simuaneously he exisence of soluion of (.)-(.2) and maximal inerval of exisence. In he special case, if we ake h() in (2.2) and he inegral on he righ hand side in (2.2) is assumed o diverge, hen he soluion of (.)-(.2) exiss for every T < ; ha is, on he enire inerval R. Our resul in Theorem yiel exisence of soluion of (.)-(.2) on R, if he inegral on he righ hand side in (2.2) is divergen i.e., α g(s). Thus Theorem can be considered as a furher exension of he well known heorem on global exisence of soluion of ordinary differenial equaion due o Winner given in [6]. The nex heorem deals wih he Osgood ype uniqueness resul for he soluions of (.)-(.2). Theorem 2.4. Consider (.) wih f C(R R n R n, R n ), under he iniial condiions in (.2). Suppose ha: (i) he funcion f saisfies (ii) le f(, x, y) f(, x, ȳ) h()[g( x x ) g( y ȳ )], (2.3) h C(R, R ), g(u) is a coninuous, nondecreasing funcion for u, g() ; G(r) r r g(s), ( < r r), wih G being he inverse funcion of G and assume ha lim r G(r), for any fixed r. Then (.)-(.2) has a mos one soluion on R. Proof. Le x(), y() be wo soluions of equaion (.), under he iniial condiions x( ) y( ) φ(), ( < ), x() y() x, (2.32) and le u() x() y(), R. We consider he following wo cases. Case : <. From he hypoheses, we have u() ε f(s, x(s), φ(s)) f(s, y(s), φ(s)) h(s)g( x(s) y(s) ) h(s)g(u(s)), (2.33)

From he hypoheses, we have u() f(s, x(s), φ(s)) f(s, y(s), φ(s)) f(s, x(s), x(s )) f(s, y(s), y(s )) h(s)g(u(s)) h(s)g(u(s)) h(s)g(u(s)) I 4, I 4 By he change of variable, we observe ha I 4 Using (2.37) in (2.35), we obain u() h(s)[g(u(s)) g(u(s ))] h(s)g(u(s)) [h(s) h(s )]g(u(s)) ε 2 h(s) ]. (2.34) h(s)g(u(s )) (2.35) h(s)g(u(s )). (2.36) h(s )g(u(s)). (2.37) [h(s) h(s )]g(u(s)), (2.38) ε 2 > is sufficienly small consan. Now, an applicaion of Lemma 2 o (2.38) yiel x() y() G [G(ε 2 ) [h(s) h(s )]]. (2.39) To apply he esimaions in (2.34), (2.39) o he uniqueness problem, we use he noaion G(r, r ) insead of G(r) and impose he assumpion lim r G(r, r ), for fixed r, hen we obain lim r G (r, r ), see [5, p. 77]. From (2.34), (2.39), i follows ha x() y() for R and hence x() y() on R. Thus, here is a mos one soluion o (.)-(.2) on R. Remark. We noe ha he condiion (2.3) correspon o he Osgood ype condiion concerning he uniqueness of soluions in he heory of differenial equaions (see [4, p. 35]). 3.
