Oscillation and nonoscillation properties for second order nonlinear differential equations

Part of the Lecture Notes in Mathematics book series (LNM,volume 1017)

Abstract

We survey oscillation and nonoscillation criteria for the generalized Emden-Fowler differential equation y″+q(x)yγ=0, q>0, γ>0 with particular emphasis on the duality between the sublinear and superlinear cases.
