Description | In this paper, we present an oscillation criterion for second order half-linear differential equations with periodic coefficients. The method is based on the nonexistence of a proper solution of the related modified Riccati equation. Our result can be regarded as an oscillatory counterpart to the nonoscillation criterion by Sugie and Matsumura (2008). These two theorems provide a complete half-linear extension of the oscillation criterion of Kwong and Wong (2003) dealing with the Hill's equation. |
