This paper proposed an efficient modification of homotopy perturbation transform method (HPTM), namely modified homotopy perturbation transform method (MHPTM) for the solution of third order boundary layer equation on semi-infinite domain. The technique was based on the application of Laplace transform to boundary layers in fluid mechanics. The nonlinear terms can be easily handled by the use o...

This paper studies the iterates of the third order Lyness’ recurrence xk+3 = (a + xk+1 + xk+2)/xk, with positive initial conditions, being a also a positive parameter. It is known that for a = 1 all the sequences generated by this recurrence are 8-periodic. We prove that for each a 6= 1 there are infinitely many initial conditions giving rise to periodic sequences which have almost all the even...

Sufficient conditions are established for the boundedness of all solutions of (1.1), and we also present some sufficient conditions, which ensure that the limits of first and second order derivatives of the solutions of (1.1) tend to zero as t→∞. Our results improve and include those results obtained by previous authors ([3], [5]).

In this article we have developed third order exact finite difference method for the numerical solution of third order boundary value problems. We constructed our numerical technique without change in structure of the coefficient matrix of the second-order method in cite{Pand}. We have discussed convergence of the proposed method. Numerical experiments on model test problems approves the simply...

In order to investigate the effects of non-linear springs in vibrating behavior of vehicles, the independent suspension of conventional vehicles could be modeled as a non-linear single degree of freedom system. The equation of motion for the system would be a non-linear third order ordinary differential equation, when considering the elasticity of rubber bushings in joints of shock absorber. It...
