OSCILLATION CRITERIA FOR A CLASS OF SECOND ORDER NONLINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS

Abstract

 

In this paper, we are concerned with the oscillation of a class of second order nonlinear differential equations. By using the Riccati technique, some new oscillation criteria established which generalize and extend a number of existing oscillation criteria. Example is also given to illustrate our results.
