Existence and Uniqueness Results for a Fully Third-Order Boundary Value Problem

The boundary value problems of the third-order ordinary differential equation have many practical application backgrounds and their some special cases have been studied by many authors. However, few scholars have studied the boundary value problems of the complete third-order differential equations u′′′(t) = f (t,u(t),u′(t),u′′(t)). In this paper, we discuss the existence and uniqueness of solutions and positive solutions of the fully third-order ordinary differential equation on [0,1] with the boundary condition u(0) = u′(1) = u′′(1) = 0. Under some inequality conditions on nonlinearity f some new existence and uniqueness results of solutions and positive solutions are obtained.

Galerkin-Bernstein Approximations for the System of Third-Order Nonlinear Boundary Value Problems

This paper is devoted to find the numerical solutions of one dimensional general nonlinear system of third-order boundary value problems (BVPs) for the pair of functions using Galerkin weighted residual method. We derive mathematical formulations in matrix form, in detail, by exploiting Bernstein polynomials as basis functions. A reasonable accuracy is found when the proposed method is used on few examples. At the end of the study, a comparison is made between the approximate and exact solutions, and also with the solutions of the existing methods. Our results converge monotonically to the exact solutions. In addition, we show that the derived formulations may be applicable by reducing higher order complicated BVP into a lower order system of BVPs, and the performance of the numerical solutions is satisfactory. .

In this paper,we study a singular third-order three-point boundary value problem. By a fixed point theorem of cone expansion-compression type due to Krasnosel’skii,we obtain various new results on the existence of two positive solutions to the problem,whose coefficient is allowed to have suitable singularities. Finally,we give an example to verify our results.

A CLASS OF n-POINT BOUNDARY VALUE PROBLEM FOR THIRD-ORDER NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

In this paper, we first obtain the existence of solution to some n-point boundary value problem for third-order differential equations using upper and lower solutions method. Based on the results, we explore singular perturbation of another n-point boundary value problem for third-order differential equations with a small positive parameter. Finally, a uniformly valid asymptotic solution is constructed and the error estimation is given.
