Abstract

We consider the nonlinear Euler differential equation t2x″+g(x)=0. Here g(x) satisfies xg(x)>0 for x≠0, but is not assumed to be sublinear or superlinear. We present implicit necessary and sufficient condition for all nontrivial solutions of this system to be oscillatory or nonoscillatory. Also we prove that solutions of this system are all oscillatory or all nonoscillatory and cannot be both. We derive explicit conditions and improve the results presented in the previous literature. We extend our results to the extended equation t2x″+a(t)g(x)=0.
