Interconnections between various analytic approaches applicable to third-order nonlinear differential equations

Interconnections between various analytic approaches applicable to third-order nonlinear differential equations.

We unearth the interconnection between various analytical methods which are widely used in the current literature to identify integrable nonlinear dynamical systems described by third-order nonlinear ODEs. We establish an important interconnection between the extended Prelle-Singer procedure and λ-symmetries approach applicable to third-order ODEs to bring out the various linkages associated wi...

An Oscillation Criterion for Nonlinear Third-order Differential Equations

Sufficient conditions for oscillation of a certain class of nonlinear third-order differential equations are found. In this paper we considear a nonlinear third-order differential equation of the form y′′′ + q(t)y′ = f(t, y, y′, y′′) (1) where (i) q, q′ ∈ C ( (a,∞) ) for some a with 0 < a < ∞, (ii) f ∈ C ( (a,∞)×R3 ) , t ∈ (a,∞), and y1, y2, y3 ∈ R and f(t, y1, y2, y3)y1 < 0 for all t ∈ (a,∞) a...

Oscillation of Third-order Nonlinear Delay Differential Equations

Some new oscillation criteria are presented by transforming this equation to the first-order delayed and advanced differential equations. Employing suitable comparison theorems we establish new results on oscillation of the studied equation. Assumptions in our theorems are less restrictive, these criteria improve those in the recent paper [Appl. Math. Comput., 202 (2008), 102-112] and related c...

Our goal in this paper is to obtain sufficient conditions for instability of the zero solution to the non-linear vector differential equation ... X + F (X, Ẋ)Ẍ + G(Ẋ) + H(X) = 0. An example illustrates the results obtained.
