Abstract
This article is dedicated to solving the equivalence problem for a pair of third-order differential operators on the line under general fiber-preserving transformation using the Cartan method of equivalence. We will treat 2 versions of equivalence problems: first, the direct equivalence problem, and second, an equivalence problem to determine conditions on 2 differential operators such that there exists a fiber-preserving transformation mapping one to the other according to gauge equivalence.
