In this paper, we study the oscillatory behavior of the solutions of the linear differential equation(1.1)where(1.2)and all functions are assumed to be continuous on a bounded interval [a, b). An «th-order linear equation is said to be disconjugate on an interval I provided it has no nontrivial solution with more than n — 1 zeros, counting multiplicities, in I.

Let φ:ℝ→ℝ be defined by φ(s) = |s|p−2s, with p > 1 a fixed number. We extend Sturm Comparison Theorem of the linear differential equationto the nonlinear differential equationby using the Wirtinger inequality. A Lyapunov inequality and some oscillation criteria of (E) are also given.

It is well known that in many cases the solutions of a linear differential equation can be expressed as definite integrals, different solutions of the same equation being represented by integrals which have the same integrand, but different paths of integration. Thus, the various solutions of the hypergeometric differential equationcan be represented by integrals of the typethe path of integration being (for one particular solution) a closed circuit encircling the point t = 0 in the positive direction, then the point t = 1 in the positive direction, then the point t = 0 in the negative direction, and lastly the point t = 1 in the negative direction; or (for another particular solution) an arc in the t-plane joining the points t = 1 and t = ∞.

An ordered set (u1, …, un) of positive Cn(a, b)-solutions of the linear differential equation1.1will be called fundamental principal system on [a, b) provided that1.2and1.3A system (u1, …, un) satisfying just (1.2) will be called a principal system on [a, b). In any principal system (u1, …, un) the solution u1 will be called a minimal solution.

Differential equations attract considerable attention in many applications. In particular, it was found out that half-linear differential equations behave in many aspects very similar to that in linear case. The aim of this contribution is to investigate oscillatory properties of the second-order half-linear differential equation and to give oscillation and nonoscillation criteria for this type of equation. It is also considered the linear Sturm- Liouville equation which is the special case of the half-linear equation. Main ideas used in the proof of these criteria are given and Hille-Nehari type oscillation and nonoscillation criteria for the Sturm-Liouville equation are formulated. In the next part, Hille-Nehari type criteria for the half-linear differential equation are presented. Methods used in this investigation are based on the Riccati technique and the quadratic functional, that are very useful instruments in proving oscillation/nonoscillation both for linear and half-linear equation. Conclude that there are given further criteria which guarantee either oscillation or nonoscillation of linear and half-linear equation, respectively. These criteria can be used in the next research in improving some conditions given in theorems of this paper.

We are concerned with the nth-order linear differential equation1where the coefficients are assumed to be continuous. Hartman [1] proved that (see Definition 2) the first conjugate point η1(t) of t satisfies2Hartman actually proved a more general result which has very important applications in nonlinear differential equations.

AbstractWe study the asymptotic behavior of eventually positive solutions of the second-order half-linear differential equation(p(t)\lvert x^{\prime}\rvert^{\alpha}\operatorname{sgn}x^{\prime})^{\prime}+q(% t)\lvert x\rvert^{\alpha}\operatorname{sgn}x=0,where q is a continuous function which may take both positive and negative values in any neighborhood of infinity and p is a positive continuous function satisfying one of the conditions\int_{a}^{\infty}\frac{ds}{p(s)^{1/\alpha}}=\infty\quad\text{or}\quad\int_{a}^% {\infty}\frac{ds}{p(s)^{1/\alpha}}<\infty.The asymptotic formulas for generalized regularly varying solutions are established using the Karamata theory of regular variation.

SynopsisIn an earlier paper [6] we showed that if q ϵ CN[0, ε) for some ε > 0, then the Titchmarsh–Weyl m(λ) function associated with the second order linear differential equationhas the asymptotic expansionas |A| →∞ in a sector of the form 0 < δ < arg λ < π – δ.We show that if the real valued function q admits the expansionin a neighbourhood of 0, then

We investigate the [p,q]-order of growth of solutions of the following complex linear differential equation f(k)+Ak-1(z) f(k-1) + ...+ A1(z) f? + A0(z) f = 0, where Aj(z) are analytic in C? - {z0}, z0 ? C. Some estimations of [p,q]-order of growth of solutions of the equation are obtained, which is generalization of previous results from Fettouch-Hamouda.

Abstract In this paper, we investigate the order and the hyper-order of growth of solutions of the linear differential equation where n≥2 is an integer, Aj (z) (≢0) (j = 1,2) are entire functions with max {σ A(j) : (j = 1,2} < 1, Q (z) = qmzm + ... + q1z + q0 is a nonoonstant polynomial and a1, a2 are complex numbers. Under some conditions, we prove that every solution f (z) ≢ 0 of the above equation is of infinite order and hyper-order 1.
