1. Global asymptotic stability of certain third-order nonlinear differential equations. Author Zhang, Lijuan and Yu, Lixin Subjects *STABILITY theory, *NUMERICAL solutions to nonlinear differential equations, *MATHEMATICAL analysis, *LYAPUNOV functions, *NUMERICAL analysis, *DIFFERENTIAL equations Abstract In this paper, we give some sufficient conditions to guarantee global asymptotic stability of the zero solution of the third-order nonlinear differential equation: x ′ ′ ′ + g( x, x ′ , x ′ ′ ) + f( x, x ′ ) x ′ + h( x) = 0. Two examples are also given to illustrate our results. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] Published 2013 Full Text View/download PDF
