... Since the oscillation of all solutions of (A) is equivalent to the absence of nonoscillatory solutions of (A), to prove the above theorems it suffices to show that the above conditions eliminate all possible positive solutions of (A) and conversely. In the process of proving the theorems use is made of the oscillation criteria of Kitamura and Kusano [4], stated below, for differential equations of form (1.2) which is rewritten here as ...

We are concerned with the oscillatory and nonoscillatory behavior of solutions of differential equations involving an even order nonlinear Sturm–Liouville operator of the form where α and β are distinct positive constants. We first give the criteria for the existence of nonoscillatory solutions with specific asymptotic behavior on infinite intervals, and then derive necessary and sufficient conditions for all solutions of (∗) to be oscillatory by eliminating all nonoscillatory solutions of (∗).

... Many of the results obtained are given in [1] and [2]. Of the more recent results, we mention in particular the works [3]- [8]-These papers investigate equations in which the higher-order derivative participates only for a single value of the independent variable.

The present paper studies some asymptotic (including oscillatory) properties of the solutions of operator-differential inequalities of the form [(Lx)(t)](n)+ (Fx)(t)≦0 ([(Lx)(r)](n)+ (Fx)(t)≧ 0), where [formula omitted] (the latter symbol denotes the space of locally summable functions). As an application of the results obtained, theorems are proved for the asymptotic behaviour of the solutions of certain classes of functional-differential and integro-differential neutral-type equations.
... The study of oscillation of higher order nonlinear functional differential equations with deviating arguments was attempted for the first time by Onose [28,29]. A typical generalization of Onose's oscillation theorem can be found in [11]. Recently, wide attention of the researchers has been attracted to the investigation of oscillation (or nonoscillation) of differential equations whose principal differential operators involve nonlinear Sturm-Liouville type differential operators [12, 20, 22, 30 -34]. ...
... The sufficiency proof is similar to that of Theorem 2.2. We can choose T>a large enough so that $rh(t, cR(t)) dt<c, and replace (2.5) and (2.6), respectively, by ? and furthermore that L has the factorized form [4,11] (3 3) The following theorem is proved by virtually the same procedure, applying Theorem 2.3 instead of Theorem 2.2. As an example of (1.1), consider the semilinear equation Case II: k>0. ...

Necessary and sufficient conditions are found for the existence of two positive solutions of the semilinear elliptic equation Δ u + q (|x|) u = f ( x , u ) in an exterior domain Ω⊂ℝ ⁿ , n ≥ 1, where q , f are real-valued and locally Hölder continuous, and f ( x , u ) is nonincreasing in u for each fixed x ∈Ω. An example is the singular stationary Klein-Gordon equation Δ u — k ² u = p ( x ) u -λ where k and λ are positive constants. In this case NASC are given for the existence of two positive solutions u i ( x ) in some exterior subdomain of Ω such that both |x| m exp[(-l) i-1 k | x |] u i ( x ) are bounded and bounded away from zero in this subdomain, m = ( n —1)/2, i = 1, 2.
... For typical results regarding (5) we refer to [3], [4], [8], [12], [16], [18], [23], [28] and [36]. There is, however, much current interest in the study of the oscillation properties of higher-order differential equations of the forms (LE) and (NE) involving general disconjugate operators L n defined by (1); see, for example, the papers [1] [2] [5] [6] [7] [9] [10] [11] [13] [14] [15] [17] [19] [20] [21] [22] [23] [24] [25] [26] [27] [29] [30] [31] [32] [33] [34] [35] [37] [38] [39] [40] [41] [42] [43] [44] [45] [46] [47]. In the present paper we proceed further in this direction to establish new oscillation results for equations (LE) and (NE) with general deviating arguments g h (f) which extend and unify many of the previous results obtained in the above-mentioned papers. ...

Related work on disconjugate L, can also be found in Kitumura and Kusano [2], Granata [l], Kusano and Naito [3], and Staikos and Philos [9]. In order to make our analysis less cumbersome, we introduce notations for repeated integrals as used in Singh and Kusano [8]. ...

... One problem consists of showing that known results regarding oscillation and asymptotic behavior remain valid when delays are introduced. For example, Kitamura and Kusano [7] have considered L,u+ /It, u(g(t)))=O ( 1.1) (where L, is a general disconjugate nth order differential operator) and shown that a variety of qualitative properties for L,u +f(r, u(t)) = 0 remain valid for ( 1.1) with bounded delays. In a different direction Ladas and Stavroulakis [9] have shown that the introduction of a sufficiently large delay will transform a nonoscillatory differential equation such as U' + p( t ) u = 0 into a functional equation u'+p(t)u(t-r)=O (1.2) all of whose solutions are oscillatory. ...
... then the bounded solution can be extended to x/> 0, y/> 0. This result, as they note, is a generalization of the existence of an asymptotically constant solution of d"u +_f(x,y)=O, 0~<x<~, dx . which goes back to Atkinson [11] and Nehari [12] for n = 2, with more general ODE results being due to several other authors131415. Generalizations to elliptic equations have been given by Swanson [16, 17] and Kreith and Swanson [7]. ...

Synopsis The equation to be considered is where p i ( t ), 0≦ i ≦ n , and q ( t ) are continuous and positive on some half-line [ a , ∞). It is known that (*) always has “strictly monotone” nonoscillatory solutions defined on [ a , ∞), so that of particular interest is the extreme situation in which such strictly monotone solutions are the only possible nonoscillatory solutions of (*). In this paper sufficient conditions are given for this situation to hold for (*). The structure of the solution space of (*) is also studied.

Utilizing the quadratic functional criteria and positive functionals, the author develops a comparison theorem for oscillation of partial differential equations. This result parallels a comparison of the oscillation of scalar ordinary differential equations to oscillation of vector-matrix differential equations established by LEWIS and WRIGHT. We want to look at the matrix partial differential equation.
