On the Number of Zeros of Nonoscillatory Solutions to Higher-Order Linear Ordinary Differential Equations

 This paper is concerned with the problem of counting the number of zeros of bounded nonoscillatory solutions of higher-order linear ordinary differential equations involving a parameter. It is shown that a recent result for the second-order case is still valid for the higher-order case. Received September 20, 2001; in revised form February 8, 2002 Published online July 12, 2002     

On the Oscillation of Second Order Neutral Differential Equations of Emden-Fowler Type

C([t₀, ￥), \Bbb R)q_2\in C([t_0, \infty), {\Bbb R}) . The results of this paper extend and improve some known results. In particular, two interesting examples that point out the importance of our theorems are also included.     

Nonoscillation theorems for certain second order nonlinear differential equations

Some necessary and sufficient conditions for nonoscillation are established for the second order nonlinear differential equation where p > 0 is a constant. These results are extensions of the earlier results of Hille, Wintner, Opial, Yan for second order linear differential equations and include the recent results of Li and Yeh, Kusano and Yoshida, Yang and Lo for half-linear differential equations.

A Characterization of Vanishing Mean Oscillation

We show that a function has vanishing mean oscillation with respect to a nonatomic measure if and only if it satisfies an asymptotic reverse Jensen inequality.     

Oscillation constant of second-order non-linear self-adjoint differential equations

Our concern is to solve the oscillation problem for the non-linear self-adjoint differential equation (a(t)x’)’+b(t)g(x)=0, where g(x) satisfies the signum condition xg(x)>0 if x≠0, but is not assumed to be monotone. Sufficient conditions and necessary conditions are given for all non-trivial solutions to be oscillatory. The obtained results show that the number 1/4 is a critical value for this problem. This paper takes a different approach from most of the previous research. Proof is given by means of phase plane analysis of systems of Liénard type. Examples are included to illustrate the relation between our theorems and results which were given by Cecchi, Marini and Villari. Received: January 5, 2001?Published online: June 11, 2002

Singular Eigenvalue Problems for the Equation y (n) + λp(x)y = 0

The paper studies singular eigenvalue problems for the equation y ⁽ⁿ⁾ +p(x)y=0 with boundary conditions imposed on the derivatives y ⁽ⁱ⁾ at the points x=a and x=. We look for singular problems which are analogous to regular problems on a finite interval. It is characterized when each eigenfunction has a finite number of zeros and when the spectrum is discrete or continuous, respectively.

<Emphasis Type="Italic">g</Emphasis>-Natural Contact Metrics on Unit Tangent Sphere Bundles

We construct a three-parameter family of contact metric structures on the unit tangent sphere bundle T ₁ M of a Riemannian manifold M and we study some of their special properties related to the Levi-Civita connection. More precisely, we give the necessary and sufficient conditions for a constructed contact metric structure to be K-contact, Sasakian, to satisfy some variational conditions or to define a strongly pseudo-convex CR-structure. The obtained results generalize classical theorems on the standard contact metric structure of T ₁ M. Author supported by funds of the University of Lecce.
