In this paper, we investigate the nonlinear ordinary differential equation.
y′=y^{p}(sin(y)+ε), p>1,
with positive initial data. We show that the qualitative behavior of solutions strongly depends on the perturbation parameter ε. For 0≤ε<1, the nonlinearity possesses infinitely many zeros, which generate invariant intervals trapping the trajectories. As a consequence, all solutions are global and converge to equilibrium points. In contrast, when ε>1, all zeros disappear and the equation becomes strictly positive, leading to finite-time blow-up for every positive solution via an Osgood-type argument. The results provide a simple example illustrating how a small structural perturbation may completely change the global dynamics of an oscillatory differential equation.
