Necessary conditions and sufficient conditions for disfocality and disconjugacy of a differential equation

Uri Elias

Vol. 81 (1979), No. 2, 379–397
Abstract

A necessary and sufficient criterion for the (k,nk)- disfocality of the equation y(n) + p(x)y = 0, a < x < b, is proved. This criterion is used to establish explicit necessary conditions for disfocality in terms of lower order equations and integral inequalities. The same criterion is used to obtain sufficient conditions, expressed by inequalities of similar type.
