Abstract
In this paper, for second order half-linear differential equations, we will establish some new inequalities of Lyapunov’s type. These inequalities give results related to the spacing between consecutive zeros of a solution and the spacing between a zero of a solution and/or a zero of its derivative. The results also yield conditions for disfocality, disconjugacy and lower bounds for an eigenvalue of a boundary value problem. The main results will be proved by making use of some generalizations of Opial and Wirtinger type inequalities. Some examples are considered to illustrate the main results.
