SynopsisThe paper presents sufficient conditions on the coefficients of second and fourth order differential equations to ensure that there exists at least one pair of conjugate points on an interval (a, b), −∞≦ a <b ≦ ∞. Oscillation criteria related to the equation (p(x)y″)″ + q(x)y = 0, 0 < x < ∞, are proved with no sign restrictions on q(x).
