Linearisable Third-Order Ordinary Differential Equations and Generalised Sundman Transformations: The Case X′′′=0

We calculate in detail the conditions which allow the most general third-order ordinary differential equation to be linearised in X′′′(T)=0 under the transformation X(T)=F(x,t), dT=G(x,t) dt.
