The classical comparison and interlacing theorems of Sturm were originally proved for the equations under the assumption that all coefficients are real-valued, continuous, and p > 0, P > 0. Atkinson [1, Chapter 8] has carried out the standard theory for eigenvalue problems involving (1), under the more general hypothesis

This paper establishes an apparently overlooked relationship between the pair of fourth order linear equationsyiv−p(x)y=0andyiv+p(x)y=0, wherepis a positive, continuous function defined on[0,∞). It is shown that if all solutions of the first equation are nonoscillatory, then all solutions of the second equation must be nonoscillatory as well. An oscillation criterion for these equations is also given.

A class of backward doubly stochastic differential equations (BDSDEs) are studied. We obtain a comparison theorem of these multidimensional BDSDEs. As its applications, we derive the existence of solutions for this multidimensional BDSDEs with continuous coefficients. We can also prove that this solution is the minimal solution of the BDSDE.
