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.

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.     

Nonoscillation criteria for second order nonlinear differential equations

A number of known nonoscillation criteria for the second order nonlinear differential equation y″ + q(x) y^γ = 0, γ > 0, where q is positive and locally of bounded variation, are improved by energy function techniques.     

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.

The nonlinear Levin's comparison theorems for nonlinear second order differential equations have been established by using a modified Levin's technique.     

Nonoscillation criteria for forced second order nonlinear equations

This paper is concerned with nonoscillation criteria and asymptotic behaviour for forced second order nonlinear differential equations. These results improve and include several well-known results.     

Nonoscillation criteria for quasilinear second order differential equations

Some nonoscillation criteria for quasilinear second order differential equations are obtained. These results generalize the classical results of Hille, Wintner and Opial and recent results of Elbert, Yan, Del Pino as well as Takasi and Yoshida.

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 and asymptotic behaviour for third order nonlinear differential equations

In this paper we consider the equation y +q(t)y + p(t)h(y)=0, where p, q are real valued continuous functions on [0, ) such that q(t) 0, p(t) 0 and h(y) is continuous in (–, ) such that h(y)y > 0 for y 0. We obtain sufficient conditions for solutions of the considered equation to be nonoscillatory. Furthermore, the asymptotic behaviour of these nonoscillatory solutions is studied.
