Sufficient conditions for the boundedness and square integrability of solutions of fourth-order differential equations (Q2812622)

The authors consider a nonlinear differential equation of fourth order of the form NEWLINENEWLINE\[NEWLINE (g(x){x}''{)}'' + a(t)(p(x){x}''{)}' + b(t)(q(x){x}'{)}' + c(t)f(x){x}' + d(t)h(x) = e(t),\tag{1}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE NEWLINEwhere the functions are continuous functions such that the derivatives exist and are continuous. Sufficient conditions for the boundedness and square integrability of solutions and their derivatives to (1) are given by means of Lyapunov's second method. An example is given for illustration. The obtained result extends some related results obtained in the literature before.
