Disconjugacy of thekth component of themth order system ofnth order differenttal equationsY(n)=f(x,Y,Y′,…,Y(n−1)), (1.1), is defined, wheref(x,Y1,…,Yn),∂f∂yij(x,Y1,…,Yn):(a,b)×Rmn→Rmare continuous. Given a solutionY0(x)of (1.1),k-component disconjugacy of the variational equationZ(n)=∑i=1nfYi(x,Y0(x),…,Y0(n−1)(x))Z(i−1), (1.2), is also studied. Conditions are given for continuous dependence and differentiability of solutions of (1.1) with respect to boundary conditions, and then intervals on which (1.1) isk-component disconjugate are characterized in terms of intervals on which (1.2) isk-component disconjugate.
