Asymptotic conditions for solving non-symmetric problems of third order nonlinear differential systems

Awar Simon Ukpera

Abstract:
This article presents asymptotic conditions, under various sharp and nonuniform nonresonance assumptions, for solving the forced third order nonlinear system $X''' + A X'' + BX' + sH(t,X) = P(t)$, in which $A$, $B$ and other associated matrices are not necessarily symmetric. This work generalizes some results in the literature which are hinged basically on symmetry considerations.
