Distribution of zeros of solutions of a fourth order differential equation

Allan C. Peterson

Vol. 30 (1969), No. 3, 751–764
Abstract

The primary concern of this paper is to study the distribution of zeros of solutions, that have at least four zeros, two or more of which are distinct zeros, of the canonical fourth order equation

L4[y] = (r3L3[y])′ + q3r2L2[y]+ q4y = 0,
(E4)

where ri(x) > 0,ri(x),qj(x) C[a,),i = 1,2,3,j = 1,2,3,4, which was introduced by Barrett.
