Stability and boundedness of a kind of third-order delay differential system (Q1431860): Difference between revisions

The author considers the third-order nonlinear differential equation \[ x^{(3)} + a \ddot x + g( \dot x(t-r(t))) + f(x(t-r(t)))=p(t), \] where \(a\) is a positive constant, \(0\leq r(t)\leq \gamma\), \(\gamma\) is some positive constant, \(g(x), f(x), p(t)\) are continuous, and \(g(0)=f(0)=0\). The aim of the paper is to derive conditions for the stability and boundedness of the solutions to this problem in the cases \(p\equiv 0\) and \(p\not \equiv 0\), respectively.
