existence of periodic solutions for non-linear third order autonomous differential equation (o.d.e.) has not been investigated to as large an extent as non-linear second order. the popular poincare-bendixon theorem applicable to second order equation is not valid for third order equation (see [3]). this conclusion opens a way for further investigation.

Let $R$ be a commutative Noetherian ring. We prove that  over a local ring $R$ every finitely generated $R$-module $M$ of finite Gorenstein projective dimension has a Gorenstein projective cover$varphi:C rightarrow M$ such that $C$ is finitely generated and the projective dimension of $Kervarphi$ is finite and $varphi$ is surjective.
