Abstract
In this paper we investigate oscillatory properties of the second order half-linear equation
Using the Riccati technique, the variational method and the reciprocity principle we establish new oscillation and nonoscillation criteria for (*). We also offer alternative methods of proofs of some recent oscillation results.
