§1. Appell's functions, P (θ, φ), Q (θ, φ) and R (θ, φ) are defined by the expansionwhere j3 = 1, affording, both for the third order and the field of two variables, a very direct generalization of the circular functions, as

The purpose of this paper is to obtain a set of sufficient conditions for “global asymptotic stability” of the trivial solution x = 0 of the differential equation1.1using a Lyapunov function which is substantially different from similar functions used in [2], [3] and [4], for similar differential equations. The functions f1, f2 and f3 are real - valued and are smooth enough to ensure the existence of the solutions of (1.1) on [0, ∞). The dot indicates differentiation with respect to t. We are taking a and b to be some positive parameters.

Numerous formulae have been given which exhibit the asymptotic behaviour as t → ∞solutions ofwhere F(t) is essentially positive and Several of these results have been unified by a theorem of F. V. Atkinson [1]. It is the purpose of this paper to establish results, analogous to the theorem of Atkinson, for the third order equationand for the fourth order equation

In a recent paper (1) I described a method for the numerical evaluation of zeros of the Bessel functions Jn(z) and Yn(z), which was independent of computed values of these functions. The essence of the method was to regard the zeros ρ of the cylinder functionas a function of t and to solve numerically the third-order non-linear differential equation satisfied by ρ(t). It has since been successfully used to compute ten-decimal values of jn, s, yn, s, the sth positive zeros* of Jn(z), Yn(z) respectively, in the ranges n = 10 (1) 20, s = 1(1) 20. During the course of this work it was realized that the least satisfactory feature of the new method was the time taken for the evaluation of the first three or four zeros in comparison with that required for the higher zeros; the direct numerical technique for integrating the differential equation satisfied by ρ(t) becomes unwieldy for the small zeros and a different technique (described in the same paper) must be employed. It was also apparent that no mere refinement of the existing methods would remove this defect and that a new approach was required if it was to be eliminated. The outcome has been the development of the method to which the first part (§§ 2–6) of this paper is devoted.

I have read with much interest Professor Tait's “Note on Determinants of the Third Order” in the Proceedings of this Session (pp. 59–61), and admire the method of discovering new properties of Determinants. I am not sure, however, that the properties, when discovered, are more difficult of proof by Determinant methods, and I venture to submit the following as simple and elementary:—The first property, namely,is true under greater generality, and the Determinant proof is the same as for the special case.

Professor Tait has considered the question of finding the square root of a strain, or what is the same thing, that of a matrix of the third order— A mode of doing this is indicated in my “Memoir on the Theory of Matrices” (Phil. Trans., 1858, pp. 17–37), and it is interesting to work out the solution.The notation and method will be understood from the simple case of a matrix of the second order. I write to denote the two equations, x1 = ax + by, y1 = cx + dy.

An nth order homogeneous linear differential equation is said to be disconjugate on the interval I of the real line in case no non-trivial solution of the equation has more than n - 1 zeros (counting multiplicity) on I. It is the purpose of this paper to establish several necessary and sufficient conditions for disconjugacy of the third order linear differential equation(1.1)where pi(t) is continuous on the compact interval [a, b], i = 0, 1, 2.

The n! operations Ai of permutations upon n different ordered symbols correspond to n! matrices Ai of the nth order, which have in each row and in each column only one non-zero element, namely a unit. Such matrices Ai are called permutation matrices, since their effect in premultiplying an arbitrary column vector x = {x1x2….xn} is to impress the permutation Ai upon the elements xi. For example the six matrices of the third orderare permutation matrices. It is convenient to denote them bywhere the bracketed indices refer to the permutations of natural order. Clearly the relation Ai Aj = Ak entails the matrix relation AiAj = Ak; in other words, the n! matrices Ai, give a matrix representation of the symmetric group of order n!.

The polynomials which satisfy linear differential equations of the second order and of the hypergeometric type have been the object of extensive work, and very few properties of them remain now hidden; the student who seeks in that direction a subject for research is compelled to look, not after these functions themselves but after generalisations of them. Among these may be set in first place the polynomials connected with a differential equation of the third order and of the extended hypergeometric type, of which a general theory has been given by Goursat. The number of such polynomials of which properties have been studied in particular is rather small; in fact, Appell's polynomialsand Pincherle's polynomials, arising from the expansionsare, so far as I know, the only well-known ones. To show what can be done in these ways, I shall briefly give the definition and principal properties of some polynomials analogous to Pincherle's and of some allied functions.

The initial flow field of an incompressible, viscous fluid around a circular cylinder, set impulsively to move normal to its axis, is studied in detail. The nonlinear vorticity equation is solved by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. Analytic solutions for the stream function in terms of exponential and error functions for the inner flow field, and of circular functions for the outer, are obtained to the third order, from which a uniformly valid composite solution is found. Also presented are the vorticity, pressure, separation point and drag. These quantities agree with the numerical computations of Collins & Dennis. Extended solutions developed by Padé approximants indicate that higher than third-order approximations will yield only minor improvements.
