Most known conditions implying that a nonlinear differential equation y ( n )+ f(t, y) = 0 has solutions such that lim t →∞ t − k y ( i ) = c ≠ 0 are local in that the solutions are guaranteed to exist only for sufficiently large t . This paper presents conditions ensuring that the solutions exist on a given interval and have the prescribed asymptotic behaviour. Some of the integral smallness conditions on f permit conditional convergence.
