On the asymptotic behaviour of solutions of certain fifth-order ordinary differential equations (Q5907086): Difference between revisions

Consider the fifth-order differential equation \[ x^{(5)} + f_1(t,x,\dot x, \ddot x, x^{(3)}, x^{(4)}) x^{(4)} + b(t) f_2( \ddot x, x^{(3)}) + c(t)f_3(\ddot x)+ \] \[ d(t) f_4(\dot x) + e(t)f_5(x) = p(t,x,\dot x, \ddot x, x^{(3)}, x^{(4)}), \] where \(b,c,d,e, f_1, \dots, f_5\) and \(p\) are continuous functions of all their arguments and satisfy some general assumptions. The author derives conditions guaranteeing that all solutions to this equation are uniformly bounded and tend to zero as \(t\to \infty\).
