Summary
The asymptotic behavior of the proper nonoscillator solutions of the nonlinear, third order, ordinary differential equation(*) u′″±tσun=0, where n>1 and σ is an arbitrary real number, is considered. Cases for σ and n are studied and the possible asymptotic behavior (t→∞) of the solutions of(*) are found and conditions for their existence are demonstrated.
