Self-adjoint differential equations and generalized Karamata functions
The aim of this paper is to investigate, as precisely as possible, a boundary value problem involving a third order ordinary differential equation. Its solutions are the similarity solutions of a problem arising in the study of the phenomenon of high frequency excitation of liquid metal systems in an antisymmetric magnetic field within the framework of boundary layer approximation.
An extension of a result of R. Conti is given from which some integro-differential inequalities of the Gronwall-Bellman-Bihari type and a criterion for the continuation of solutions of a system of ordinary differential equations are deduced.
Sufficient conditions are established for the asymptotic stability of the zero solution of the equation (1.1) with and the boundedness of all solutions of the equation (1.1) with . Our result includes and improves several results in the literature ([4], [5], [8]).
In this paper a number of known results on the stability and boundedness of solutions of some scalar third-order nonlinear delay differential equations are extended to some vector third-order nonlinear delay differential equations.
The paper studies the equation in two cases: (i) , (ii) . In case (i), the global asymptotic stability of the solution is studied; in case (ii), the boundedness of all solutions is proved.
