AbstractIn this paper, we are concerned with the oscillation properties of the third order differential equation $$ \left( {b(t) \left( {[a(t)x'(t)'} \right)^\gamma } \right)^\prime + q(t)x^\gamma (t) = 0, \gamma > 0 $$. Some new sufficient conditions which insure that every solution oscillates or converges to zero are established. The obtained results extend the results known in the literature for γ = 1. Some examples are considered to illustrate our main results.
An explicit solution of the third order differential equation of motion of an electromagnetically damped reluctance seismometer is obtained for the case of greatest interest, i.e., when the terminating resistor is adjusted to give greatest damping. This solution shows that definite inter‐relationships among the instrument constants are necessary for appreciable damping. The theoretical limitations on the maximum damping which can be obtained are discussed.
AbstractFor the third-order differential equationy′″ = ƒ(t, y, y′, y″), where, questions involving ‘uniqueness implies uniqueness’, ‘uniqueness implies existence’ and ‘optimal length subintervals of (a, b) on which solutions are unique’ are studied for a class of two-point boundary-value problems.
We discuss a third-order differential equation, involving a general form of nonlinearity. We obtain results describing how suitable coefficient functions determine the asymptotic and (non-)oscillatory behavior of solutions. We use comparison technique with first-order differential equations together with the Kusano–Naito’s and Philos’ approaches.
