Stability and boundedness of a kind of third-order delay differential system. (English) Zbl 1056.34078
The author considers the third-order nonlinear differential equation $$x^{(3)} + a \ddot x + g( \dot x(t-r(t))) + f(x(t-r(t)))=p(t),$$ where $a$ is a positive constant, $0\le r(t)\le \gamma$, $\gamma$ is some positive constant, $g(x), f(x), p(t)$ are continuous, and $g(0)=f(0)=0$. The aim of the paper is to derive conditions for the stability and boundedness of the solutions to this problem in the cases $p\equiv 0$ and $p\not \equiv 0$, respectively.
