Integral averaging technique for the interval oscillation criteria of certain second-order nonlinear differential equations

We present new interval oscillation criteria related to integral averaging technique for certain classes of second-order nonlinear differential equations which 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. They generalize and improve some known results. Examples are also given to illustrate the importance of our results.     

Some oscillation criteria for second order nonlinear functional ordinary differential equations

The main objective of this article is to study the oscillatory behavior of the solutions of the following nonlinear functional differential equations (a(t)x'(t))' δ1p(t)x'(t) δ2q(t)f(x(g(t))) = 0,for 0 ≤ t0 ≤ t, where δ1 = ±1 and δ2 = ±1. The functions p,q,g : [t0, ∞) → R, f :R → R are continuous, a(t) ＞ 0, p(t) ≥ 0,q(t) ≥ 0 for t ≥ t0, limt→∞ g(t) = ∞, and q is not identically zero on any subinterval of [t0, ∞). Moreover, the functions q(t),g(t), and a(t) are continuously differentiable.

Best possible conditions are given here, under which all solutions of the equation y″(t) + p(t)f(y(t), y(g(t))) = 0 are oscillatory.     

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].

Nonoscillation theorems of second order nonlinear differential equations

The main purpose of this paper is to study the existence of nonoscillatory solutions of the second order non-linear differential equation (1). The author first generalizes a Wintner's lemma [1,8] to nonlinear equations (i.e. the following Theorem 1 and 4), and then obtains the necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions of (1). These theorems generalize the corresponding results of [1] to include nonlinear equations. Using the above results, the author further obtains a series of criterion theorems for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions and comparison theorems for the oscillation and nonoscillation of nonlinear equations.

On oscillation of second order neutral type delay differential equations

Oscillation criteria are obtained by using the so called H-method for the second order neutral type delay differential equations of the form

(r(t)ψ(x(t))z^′(t))^′+q(t)f(x(σ(t)))=0, tt₀,

where z(t)=x(t)+p(t)x(τ(t)), r, p, q, τ, σ, C([t₀,∞),R) and f,ψC(R,R).

The results of the paper contains several results obtained previously as special cases. Furthermore, we are also able to fix an error in a recent paper related to the oscillation of second order nonneutral delay differential equations.     

Oscillation theorems for second order nonlinear differential equations

Some oscillation criteria are established for certain second order nonlinear differential equations of the form (a(t)ψ(x(t)) x^. (t))^. + p(t) x^. (t) + q(t)f(x(t)) = 0. These criteria improve upon some of the known results by Kura, Kamenev and Philos.
