SINGULAR CAUCHY PROBLEMS WITH A LARGE PARAMETER FOR SYSTEMS OF NON-LINEAR ORDINARY DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS* N.B. KO~U~OVA
and T.V. PAK
Systems of non-linear ordinary differential equations are considered in the semi-infinite interval Ta6tc-. The coefficients of the equations can have infinite upper limits as t-t-.Theorems of the existence and uniqueness of the solutions of such singular Cauchy problems are given, and the continuous dependence of these solutions on the singularly large parameter occurring in the equations is investigated. For problems with a power "degeneracy" with respect to the parameter p theorems are given on the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions with respect to the parameter, and the asymptotic forms obtained are dual: for fixed t and p+- dtndfor fixed p and t-+-tm. 1. FormuLation of the Cauchy problems at infinity. Theorems of the existence and uniqueness of the solutions. The results of this section for problems without parameters supplement the results obtained in /l-4/ (see:also the description of the history of the problem in /4/). The results obtained in /5, 61 affected the formulation of certain problems in Sects.2 and 3. We have used the notation employed in /4, Sect.1, paragraph 1,'. 1. We consider the Cauchy problem at infinity for a system of n non-linear ordinary differential equations x'=A(t)zff(t, x)-t-g(t),T&&Km,
