Abstract:
For the third order differential equation, $y''’ = f(x,y,y’,y''),$ we consider uniqueness implies existence results for solutions satisfying the nonlocal $4$-point boundary conditions, $y(x_1) = y_1,$ $y(x_2) = y_2,$ $y(x_3) - y(x_4) = y_3.$ Uniqueness of solutions of such boundary value problems is intimately related to solutions of the third order equation satisfying certain nonlocal $3$-point boundary conditions. These relationships are investigated as well.References
