SynopsisSufficient oscillation criteria of Nehari-type are established for the differential equation −uʺ(t) + q(t)u(t) = 0, 0<t<∞, with and without sign restrictions on q(t), respectively. These results are extended to Sturm-Liouville equations and elliptic differential equations of second order.In Section 7 we present conclusions for the lower spectrum of elliptic differential operators and also for the discreteness of the spectrum of certain ordinary differential operators of second order.
