Abstract

We consider the third order nonlinear differential equation
(p(t)u'(t))" = f(t, u(t), u'(t), u"(t)),     a. e.  in (0, ∞),
satisfying the boundary condition:
u(0)=u'(0) = 0,    
lim
t → ∞ 
u(t) = au(b)
where f: [0, ∞) ×R3R is Carathéodory with respect to L1[0, ∞), p ∈ C[0, ∞)∩C2(0, ∞) and p(t) ≥ 0 for all t ≥ 0. We obtain the existence of at least one solution using the Leray-Schauder Continuation Principle.
