Uniqueness Implies Existence and Uniqueness Criterion for Nonlocal Boundary Value Problems for Third Order Differential Equations
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(x1) = y1, y(x2) = y2, y(x3) − y(x4) = y3. 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.
