Comparison theorems for oscillation of second-order half-linear differential equations

Summary We establish new comparison theorems on the oscillation of solutions of a class of perturbed half-linear differential equations. These improve the work of Elbert and Schneider [6] in which connections are found between half-linear differential equations and linear differential equations. Our comparison theorems are not of Sturm type or Hille--Wintner type which are very famous. We can apply the main results in combination with Sturm's or Hille--Wintner's comparison theorem to a half-linear differential equation of the general form (|x'|^α-1x')' + a(t) |x|^α-1x = 0.

Sharp oscillation criteria for second-order neutral delay differential equations

This paper is a continuation of a recent work by the authors on the oscillatory properties of second-order half-linear neutral delay differential equations. Providing a new apriori bound for a nonoscillatory solution, we present a new oscillation criterion, which essentially improves the existing ones. In a particular nonneutral case, the obtained oscillation constant is unimprovable.

Interval criteria for oscillation of second-order half-linear differential equations

By employing a generalized Riccati technique and an integral averaging method, interval oscillation criteria are established for the second-order half-linear differential equation [r(t)|x′(t)|^α−1x′(t)]′+q(t)|x(t)|^α−1x(t)=0. These criteria are different from most known ones in the sense that they are based on information only on a sequence of subintervals of [t₀,∞), rather than on the whole half-line. They also extend, improve, and complement a number of existing results, and can be applied to extreme cases such as . In particular, several interesting examples that illustrate the importance of our results are included.     

New oscillation criteria for second order linear matrix differential equations with damping

By using the positive linear functional and the monotone subhomogeneous functional, including the general means and Riccati technique, some new oscillation criteria are established for the second order linear matrix differential system
（P（t）X＇（t））＇ ＋ R（t）X＇（t） ＋ Q（t）X（t） =0, t ≥ to 〉 0
where P（t）, R（t）, Q（t） are n × n real continuous matrix functions, P（t） and R（t） are commutative. Theresults improve and generalize those given in some previous papers, which can be seen by the examples given at the end of this paper.

Forced oscillation of second order linear and half-linear difference equations

Oscillation properties of solutions of the forced second order linear difference equation

are also given.

     

Oscillation theorems for second-order half-linear differential equations

Oscillation criteria for the second-order half-linear differential equation

[r(t)|ξ′(t)|⁻¹ ξ′(t)]′ + p(t)|ξ(t)|⁻¹ξ(t)=0, t t₀

are established, where > 0 is a constant and exists for t [t₀, ∞). We apply these results to the following equation:

where , D = (D₁,…, D_N), Ω_a = x ^N : |x| ≥ a} is an exterior domain, and c C([a, ∞), ), n > 1 and N ≥ 2 are integers. Here, a > 0 is a given constant.

二阶非线性矩阵微分方程的振动性

Some new oscillation criteria are established for the second-order matrix differential system(r(t)Z′(t))′ p(t)Z′(t) Q(t)F(Z′(t))G(Z(t)) = 0, t ≥ to ＞ 0,are different from most known ones in the sense that they are based on the information only on a sequence of subintervals of [t0, ∞), rather than on the whole half-line. The results weaken the condition of Q(t) and generalize some well-known results of Wong (1999) to nonlinear matrix differential equation.     

Integral condition for oscillation of half-linear differential equations with damping

The purpose of this paper is to provide an oscillation theorem that can be applied to half-linear differential equations with time-varying coefficients. A parametric curve by the coefficients is focused in order to obtain our theorem. This parametric curve is a generalization of the curve given by the characteristic equation of the second-order linear differential equation with constant coefficients. The obtained theorem is proved by transforming the half-linear differential equation to a standard polar coordinates system and using phase plane analysis carefully.     

Nonoscillation and oscillation of second order half-linear differential equations

We study the oscillation problems for the second order half-linear differential equation ^′[p(t)Φ(x^′)]+q(t)Φ(x)=0, where Φ(u)=|u|^r−1u with r>0, 1/p and q are locally integrable on R₊; p>0, q?0 a.e. on R₊, and . We establish new criteria for this equation to be nonoscillatory and oscillatory, respectively. When p≡1, our results are complete extensions of work by Huang [C. Huang, Oscillation and nonoscillation for second order linear differential equations, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 210 (1997) 712-723] and by Wong [J.S.W. Wong, Remarks on a paper of C. Huang, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 291 (2004) 180-188] on linear equations to the half-linear case for all r>0. These results provide corrections to the wrongly established results in [J. Jiang, Oscillation and nonoscillation for second order quasilinear differential equations, Math. Sci. Res. Hot-Line 4 (6) (2000) 39-47] on nonoscillation when 0<r<1 and on oscillation when r>1. The approach in this paper can also be used to fully extend Elbert's criteria on linear equations to half-linear equations which will cover and improve a partial extension by Yang [X. Yang, Oscillation/nonoscillation criteria for quasilinear differential equations, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 298 (2004) 363-373].     

New Kamenev-type oscillation criteria for second-order nonlinear differential equations with damping

Some new oscillation criteria are established for the nonlinear damped differential equation (r(t)y′)′+p(t)y′+q(t)f(y)=0 that are different from most known ones in the sense that they are based on a class of new functions Φ(t,s,r) defined in the sequel. Our results are sharper than some previous results which can be seen by the examples at the end of this paper.
