In this paper the oscillatory and asymptotic behavior of solutions of a class of nonlinear third order differential equations of the form ( ( ) ′′ + ( ) ′ + ( ) ) ′ + ( ) ′ + ( ) ( ) = 0 are studied. Results on the square integrability of solutions and their derivatives are obtained. An example to illustrate the results is included and directions for future research are indicated.
