Oscillation criteria for nonlinear second-order differential equations with damping

  • Published:
Ukrainian Mathematical Journal Aims and scope

Some new oscillation criteria are given for general nonlinear second-order ordinary differential equations with damping of the form x″+ p ( t ) x′+ q ( t ) f ( x ) = 0, where f is monotone or nonmonotone. Our results generalize and extend some earlier results of Deng.
