Resonant and nonresonant oscillations for some third order nonlinear ordinary differential equations. (English) Zbl 0676.34021

The subjects of the paper are three third-order ordinary differential equations, one of which is typically \(x'''+ax''+bx'+g(t,x)=p(t,x,x',x''),\) where a and b are constants. Similar equations were the subject of an earlier paper by J. O. C. Ezeilo and J. Onyia [J. Niger Math. Soc. 3, 83-96 (1984; Zbl 0599.34055)] in which existence and uniqueness of \(2\pi\)-periodic solutions were established subject to certain nonresonant conditions. Here the conditions are weakened in that p is assumed only to be a Caratheodory function. Also some new existence results for two of the equations are proved including the existence of a \(2\pi\)-periodic solution at resonance for one of the equations.
