As it has been proven, the determination of general one-dimensional Schrödinger Hamiltonians having third-order differential ladder operators requires to solve the Painlevé IV equation. In this work, it will be shown that some specific subsets of the higher-order supersymmetric partners of the harmonic oscillator possess third-order differential ladder operators. This allows us to introduce a s...

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...

This paper is a continuation of the recent study by Bohner et al [9] on oscillation properties of nonlinear third order functional differential equation under the assumption that the second order differential equation is nonoscillatory. We consider both the delayed and advanced case of the studied equation. The presented results correct and extend earlier ones. Several illustrative examples are...

The existence of periodic solutions for the third-order differential equation ̇̈ x+ ω2ẋ = μF(x,ẋ, ẍ) 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 bif...

In this paper, the following third-order nonlinear delay differential equation with periodic coefficients x′′′(t) + p(t)x′′(t) + q(t)x′(t) + r(t)x(t) = f (t, x (t) , x(t− τ(t))) + d dt g (t, x (t− τ (t))) , is considered. By employing Green’s function, Krasnoselskii’s fixed point theorem and the contraction mapping principle, we state and prove the existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions...
