Abstract

We introduce a special type of ordinary differential equations d superscript x x / dt superscript x = f(t, x) whose order of differentiation is a continuous variable depending on the dependent x or independent t variables. We show that such variable order of differentiation equations (VODE) can be solved as Volterra integral equations of second kind with singular integrable kernel. We find the conditions for existence and uniqueness of solutions of such VODE, and present some numeric solutions for particular cases exhibiting bifurcations and blow-up.
