This paper investigates the
behavior of nonoscillatory solutions and the existence of oscillatory solutions of the
differential equation
where p(t) and q(t) are continuous and real valued on a half axis [a,∞) and r is the
quotient of odd positive integers. The two cases p(t),q(t) ≦ 0 and p(t),q(t) ≧ 0 are
discussed.
One theorem improves an oscillation criterion of Waltman [16]. Other results
supplement those obtained by Lazar [10].
