In this paper we shall be concerned with the differential equationin which a and b are constants, p(t) is a continuous periodic function of t with a least period ω, and dots indicate differentiation with respect to t. The function h(x) is assumed continuous for all x considered, so that solutions of (1) exist satisfying any assigned initial conditions. In an earlier paper (2) explicit hypotheses on (1) were established, in the two distinct cases:under which every solution x(t) of (1) satisfieswhere t0 depends on the particular x chosen, and D is a constant depending only on a, b, h and p. These hypotheses are, in the case (2),or, in the case (3),In what follows here we shall refer to (2) and (H1) collectively as the (boundedness) hypotheses (BH1), and to (3) and (H2) as the hypotheses (BH2). Our object is to examine whether periodic solutions of (1) exist under the hypotheses (BH1), (BH2).

In this paper, we study the existence of periodic solutions to nonlinear fully third-order differential equation x‴+ft,x,x′,x″=0,t∈ℝ≔−∞,∞, where f:ℝ4⟶ℝ is continuous and T-periodic in t. By using the topological transversality method together with the barrier strip technique, we obtain new existence results of periodic solutions to the above equation without growth restrictions on the nonlinearity. Meanwhile, as applications, an example is given to demonstrate our results.

The existence of periodic solutions for the third-order differential equationx¨˙+ω2x˙=μF(x,x˙,x¨)is studied. We give some conditions for this equation in order to reduce it to a second-order nonlinear differential equation. We show that the existence of periodic solutions for the second-order equation implies the existence of periodic solutions for the above equation. Then we use the Hopf bifurcation theorem for the second-order equation and obtain many periodic solutions for it. Also we show that the above equation has many homoclinic solutions ifF(x,x˙,x¨)has a quadratic form. Finally, we compare our result to that of Mehri and Niksirat (2001).

AbstractIn this article, we provide sufficient conditions for the existence of periodic solutions of the eighth-order differential equation {x^{\left( 8 \right)}} - \left( {1 + {p^2} + {\lambda ^2} + {\mu ^2}} \right){x^{\left( 6 \right)}} + A\ddddot x + B\ddot x + {p^2}{\lambda ^2}{\mu ^2}x = \varepsilon F\left( {t,x,\dot x,\ddot x,\dddot x,\ddddot x,{x^{\left( 5 \right)}},{x^{\left( 6 \right)}}{x^{\left( 7 \right)}}} \right), where A = p2λ2 + p2µ2 + λ2µ2 + p2 + λ2 + µ2, B = p2 λ2 + p2µ2 + λ2µ2 + p2λ2µ2, with λ, µ and p are rational numbers different from −1, 0, 1, and p ≠ ±λ, p ≠±µ, λ ≠±µ, ɛ is sufficiently small and F is a nonlinear non-autonomous periodic function. Moreover we provide some applications.

1. The equation considered here is of the formwhere a, b are constants, h(x) is differentiable and h′(x), p(t) are continuous in x, t respectively. The primary object of the paper is to prove the followingTheorem 1. Suppose that(i) a > 0,b > 0;(ii) h(0) = 0, h(x)/x ≥ δ > 0 (x ≠ 0);(iii) h′(x) ≤ c for all x where ab > c > 0.
