Özet

In this paper, by using Liapunov's second method, we establish some new results for stability and boundedness of solutions of nonlinear vector differential equations of third order. By constructing a Liapunov function, sufficient conditions for stability and boundedness of solutions of equations considered are obtained. Concerning to the subject, some explanatory examples are also given. Our results improve and include a result existing in the literature. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
