Oscillation Criteria for Nonlinear Differential Equations of Second Order with Damping Term

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 34C10, 34C15.

Some new criteria for the oscillation of all solutions of second order differential equations of the form (d/dt)(r(t)ψ(x)|dx/dt|α−2(dx/dt))+ p(t)φ(|x|α−2x,r(t) ψ(x)|dx/dt|α−2(dx/dt))+q(t)|x|α−2 x=0, and the more general equation (d/dt)(r(t)ψ(x)|dx/dt|α−2(dx/dt))+p(t)φ(g(x),r(t) ψ(x)|dx/dt|α−2 (dx/dt))+q(t)g(x)=0, are established. our results generalize and extend some known oscillation criterain in the literature.
