Introduction
The existence and uniqueness of periodic solutions of third order functional differential equations have been widely investigated and are still being investigated due to their applications in various practical problems. See [1, 3, 5, 11,

Xin and Cheng [13] in a recent article investigated the existence of positive periodic solution to the third-order neutral differential equation 000
(x(t) − c(t)x (t − δ(t))) = a(t)x(t) − λb(t)f (x(t − r(t))) Motivated by the above facts, we consider in this paper, sufficient conditions for the existence and uniqueness of T -periodic solution to the third-order neutral functional differential equation 000
(x(t) − cx(t − τ )) +f (x0 (t))x00 (t)+g(x(t))x0 (t)+h(t, x(t−r(t))) = e(t) (1.1) where r, g, e : R −→ R are T -periodic and h : R × R −→ R is T -periodic in the first argument, c and τ are constants with |c| < 1. f, g : R −→ R are continuous functions and T -periodic with T > 0. We shall use some inequality techniques and Mawhin’s continuation theorem of coincidence degree theory to establish our results. The rest of this paper is organized as follows. In section 2 we state some preliminary results and other technical details. In section 3 we will prove the main existence results and in section 4 we shall establish uniqueness results. We will give an example of an application in section 5.

Define the operator A by A : X −→ X,

and the operator L by 000

N x = −f (x (t))x (t) − g(x(t))x (t) − h(t, x(t) − r(t)) + e(t) Then (1.1) can be written as Lx = N x. It is easy to show that KerL = R and RT ImL = {y ∈ Y : 0 y(t)dt = 0}. Thus L is a Fredholm operator of index zero. Let the projections P : X −→ KerL and Q : Y −→ Y be defined as follows Z Z 1 T 1 T x(s)ds, Qy = y(s)ds Px = T 0 T 0 Then ImP = KerL and KerQ = ImL. Let LP = L |D(L)∩KerP : D(L) ∩ KerP −→ ImL. Then LP has continuous inverse L−1 P on ImL defined by Z Z T t T −1 −1 (t − s)y(s)ds + (t − s)y(s)ds (LP y)(t) = A − T 0 0 Thus N is L−compact on every open bounded subset Ω of X. We also mention here that from the definition of the operator A, it is easy to see that 00 0 000 000 (Ax) (t) = Ax (t) = Ax (t) Lemma 2.1 (9) .

Lemma 2.2 (2) . Let X and Y be two Banach spaces. Suppose that L : D(L) ⊂ X −→ Y is a Fredholm operator with index zero and N : X −→ Y is L− compact on Ω, where Ω is an open bounded subset in X. In addition, if the following conditions hold (a) Lx 6= N x, for all (x, λ) ∈ ∂Ω × (0, 1) (b) QN x 6= 0 for all x ∈ KerL ∩ ∂Ω (c) deg{QN, Ω ∩ KerL, 0} = 6 0 Then Lx = N x has at least one solution in D(L) ∩ Ω We list the following assumptions H1: There exists non-negative constants c1 , c2 and c3 such that (1) |f (x)| ≤ c1 for all x ∈ R (2) |g(x)| ≤ c2 , |g(x1 ) − g(x2 )| ≤ c3 |x1 − x2 | for all x, x1 , x2 ∈ R H2: There exists positive constants m0 , and d such that (1) |h(t, x1 ) − h(t, x2 )| ≤ m0 |x1 − x2 | for all t, x1 , x2 ∈ R (2) x{h(t, x) − e(t)} < 0 for all t ∈ R and |x| ≥ d
