An Improved Criterion for the Oscillation of Fourth-Order Differential Equations

Abstract

The main purpose of this manuscript is to show asymptotic properties of a class of differential equations with variable coefficients r ν w ‴ ν β ′ + ∑ i = 1 j q i ν y κ g i ν = 0 , where ν ≥ ν 0 and w ν : = y ν + p ν y σ ν . By using integral averaging technique, we get conditions to ensure oscillation of solutions of this equation. The obtained results improve and generalize the earlier ones; finally an example is given to illustrate the criteria.
