Consider the second order linear differential equation with damped term x′′ + p ( t ) x′ + q ( t ) x = 0, t ≥ t0 > 0, (1.1) and the more general nonlinear equation x′′ + p ( t ) x′ + q ( t ) f ( x ) = 0, t ≥ t0 > 0, (1.2) where p ∈ C1 ( [ t0 , ∞ ), R ), q ∈ C ( [ t0 , ∞ ), R ), f ∈ C ( R, R ) is to be specified in the subsequent text, and x f ( x ) > 0 whenever x ≠ 0. As usual, a nontrivial solution of (1.1) or (1.2) is called oscillatory if it has arbitrarily large zeros; otherwise, it is said to be nonoscillatory. Equation (1.1) or (1.2) is said to be oscillatory if all of its solutions are oscillatory. In the last decades, there has been an increasing interest in obtaining sufficient conditions for the oscillation and/or nonoscillation of solutions for different classes of second order differential equations [1 – 9]. In the absence of damping, many results have been obtained for particular cases of (1.1), such as the linear equation x′′ + q ( t ) x = 0 (1.3) and the quasilinear equation ′ ′( )′ + ( )− −x x q t x xγ γ1 1 = 0, (1.4) where γ > 0 is a constant. It is well known that Hille [4] studied the linear equation (1.3) and obtained that equation (1.3) is oscillatory if q s ds t t ( ) ≥ +∞ ∫ 1 4 δ , (1.5) where δ is any small positive number. If introducing the transformation u = = xe p s ds t− ( )∫1 2 for the damping equation (1.1), we have ′′ + ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    u q t p t p t u 2 4 2 = 0, (1.6) which has the same form as equation (1.3). Hence applying condition (1.5) we can © D. ÇAKMAK, 2008 694 ISSN 1027-3190. Ukr. mat. Ωurn., 2008, t. 60, # 5 OSCILLATION CRITERIA FOR NONLINEAR SECOND ORDER … 695 easily know that equation (1.6) is oscillatory if q s p s p s ds t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ +∞ ∫ 2 4 2 1 4 δ . (1.7) In an early paper [5], Chunchao Huang has established interesting oscillation and nonoscillation criteria for the equation (1.3) with q ∈ C [ 0, ∞ ) and q ( t ) ≥ 0, where conditions about the integrals of q ( t ) on every interval [ 2n t0 , 2n + 1 t0 ], n = 1, 2, … , for some fixed t0 > 0 are used in the results. Since that time, many authors have also investigated the oscillatory and nonoscillatory behavior of equation (1.3) by using Huang’s technique, such as papers [3, 8]. Recently, by using the similar method in the proof of [6] (Lemma 3), Deng [2] presented the following result for the oscillation of equation (1.3) with q ∈ L1 [ t0 , ∞ ). Theorem A. If for large t ∈ R, q s ds t t ( ) ≥ ∞ ∫ α0 , (1.8) where α0 > 1 / 4, then equation (1.3) is oscillatory. More recently, inspired by the recent work of Deng [2], Yang [9] obtain following oscillation result. Theorem B. If q ∈ L1 [ t0 , ∞ ) and for large t > t0 , t q s ds t γ ( ) ∞ ∫ ≥ α0 , (1.9) where α0 > γ γ γ γ( + ) +1 1 , then equation (1.4) is oscillatory. It is obvious that (1.8) or (1.9) is condition on the integral of q ( s ) in [ t, ∞ ) for arbitrarily large value of t, while the conditions of Huang [5] and Elbert [3] concern the integral of q ( s ) in [ 2n t0 , 2n + 1 t0 ] for every n ∈ N, and the condition of Yang [8] concern the integral of q ( s ) in [ t0 / ε, t0 / εn + 1 ] for every n ∈ N and 0 < ε < 1. Therefore, they are different kinds of condition. Motivated by the idea of Deng [2], in this paper we are study the more general equation (1.2), and obtain oscillation criteria which contain Theorems A and B as a special case, and establish oscillation criteria for equation (1.2) when f ( x ) = | x | λ sgn x with λ > 1 or 0 < λ < 1. This paper is organized as follows. In Section 2, we shall present oscillation criteria for equation (1.2) when q ( t ) ≥ 0 and the function f ( x ) is not monotonous. Section 3 contains also oscillation criteria for equation (1.2) when q ( t ) changes its sign and the function f ( x ) is monotonous. 2. Oscillation results for f (((( x )))) without monotonicity. In this section, we consider the oscillation of equation (1.2) when q ( t ) ≥ 0 and the function f ( x ) is not monotonous. Theorem 2.1. Let q ( t ) ≥ 0 and f x x ( ) ≥ M > 0 for x ≠ 0, where M is a constant. If for large t ∈ R, ISSN 1027-3190. Ukr. mat. Ωurn., 2008, t. 60, # 5 696 D. ÇAKMAK p ( t ) = O ( 1 ) and Mq s p s p s ds t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ∞ ∫ 2 0 4 2 α , (2.1) where α0 > 1 / 4, then equation (1.2) is oscillatory. Proof. Let x( t ) be a nonoscillatory solution of equation (1.2), which, without loss of generality, can be assumed to be x ( t ) > 0, f ( x ( t ) ) > 0 for t ≥ t0 > 0. By (2.1), it is easy to see that there exists t1 ≥ t0 such that Mq s p s p s ds t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ∞ ∫ 2 0 4 2 α for t ≥ t1 , which yields that there exists an integer n ( t ) ≥ t such that Mq s p s p s ds t t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ′ ∫ 2 1 4 2 α and α α α1 2 1 2 2 t t t − ′ ≥ for t′ ≥ n ( t ), (2.2) where α0 ≥ α1 ≥ α > 1 / 4. Define v ( t ) = x′ ( t ) / x ( t ) for t ≥ t0 . By equation (1.2), v ( t ) satisfies the equation ′ + + + ( ) v v v2 p q f x x = 0. (2.3) Because f x x ( ) ≥ M > 0 and q ≥ 0, (2.3) can be rewritten as ′ + + +v v v2 p Mq ≤ 0. Let w ( t ) = v ( t ) + p t( ) 2 . Now, we have ′ + + − − ′ w w Mq p p2 2 4 2 ≤ 0. (2.4) Integrating (2.4) from t to t ′, by (2.2) we obtain w t w t w s ds Mq s p s p s ds t t t t ( ) − ( ′) ≥ ( ) + ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ′ ′ ∫ ∫2 2 4 2 ≥ 0 (2.5) for t′ ≥ n ( t ) and t ≥ t1 . If there exists t2 ≥ t1 such that w ( t2 ) < 0, then from (2.5), w ( t ) < 0 for t ≥ n ( t2 ). Therefore, w ( t ) is either eventually positive or eventually negative. If w ( t ) is eventually negative, then there exists t3 ≥ t1 such that w ( t ) < 0 for t ≥ ≥ t3 and w t w s ds Mq s p s p s ds t t t t ( ) ≥ ( ) + ( ) − ( ) − ′( )   ∫ ∫2 2 3 3 4 2 for t ≥ n ( t3 ) which, with (2.2), yields w t w s ds t t t t t ( ) ≥ ( ) + ≥ ≥∫ 2 1 3 1 3 1 3 α α α for t ≥ n ( t3 ). (2.6) ISSN 1027-3190. Ukr. mat. Ωurn., 2008, t. 60, # 5 OSCILLATION CRITERIA FOR NONLINEAR SECOND ORDER … 697 Substituting this into (2.6), we obtain w t s ds n t t n t t ( ) ≥ + ( ) ≥ + ( ) ∫α α τ τ 1 2 2 1 3 0 2 01 3 for t ≥ n ( n ( t3 ) ), (2.7) where τ0 = α > 1 / 4. If w ( t ) is eventually positive, then there exists t4 ≥ t1 such that w ( t ) > 0 for t ≥ ≥ t4 and from (2.2) and (2.5), we have w t w s ds Mq s p s p s ds t t t t t ( ) ≥ ( ) + ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ′ ′ ∫ ∫2 2 1 4 2 α (2.8) for t′ ≥ n ( t ) and t ≥ t4 . Using similar methods to those in the proof of (2.7), we get w t t ( ) ≥ +τ τ0 2 0 for t ≥ n ( t4 ). (2.9) Setting τi = τ τi − +1 2 0, i = 1, 2, … , and taking t5 = max { n ( n ( t3 ) ), n ( t4 ) }, we obtain w t t ( ) ≥ τ1 for t ≥ t5 from (2.7) and (2.9). By induction, from (2.6) and (2.8), we can prove that w t t i( ) ≥ τ for t ≥ t5 , i = 1, 2, … . It is easy to see that w t( ) → ∞ for t ≥ t5 . Using p ( t ) = O ( 1 ) for large t ∈ R, we obtain v( )t → ∞ . So, this contradiction completes the proof. Thus, f ( x ) acts a linear function for sufficiently large x, we have the following result for the equation (1.2). Corollary 2.1. Let f ( x ) behaves like M x for sufficiently large x. If for large t ∈ R, Mq s p s p s ds t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ∞ ∫ 2 0 4 2 α , (2.10) where α0 > 1 / 4, then equation (1.2) is oscillatory. Remark 2.1. If α 0 > 1 / 4, then α0 ≥ 1 4 + δ where δ is any small positive number. Thus, condition (2.10) with M = 1 reduces to (1.7). The following theorem is concerned with the oscillatory behavior of a special case of equation (1.2), namely, the equation x′′ + p ( t ) x′ + q ( t ) | x | λ sgn x = 0, (2.11) where λ > 0 is a real constant. Theorem 2.2. Let q ( t ) ≥ 0. If for large t ∈ R and every constant c > 0, ISSN 1027-3190. Ukr. mat. Ωurn., 2008, t. 60, # 5 698 D. ÇAKMAK p ( t ) = O ( 1 ) and cq s p s p s ds t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ∞ ∫ 2 0 4 2 α , (2.12) where α0 > 1 / 4, then: (i) every unbounded solution of equation (2.11) with λ > 1 is oscillatory, (ii) every bounded solution of equation (2.11) with 0 < λ < 1 is oscillatory. Proof. Without loss of generality, we assume that x ( t ) is a nonoscillatory solution of equation (2.11) such that x ( t ) > 0 for t ≥ t0 > 0. By (2.12), there exists t1 ≥ t0 such that cq s p s p s ds t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ∞ ∫ 2 0 4 2 α for t ≥ t1 so there exists an integer n ( t ) ≥ t such that cq s p s p s ds t t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ′ ∫ 2 1 4 2 α and α α α1 2 1 2 2 t t t − ′ ≥ for t′ ≥ n ( t ), where α0 ≥ α1 ≥ α > 1 / 4. Define v ( t ) = x′ ( t ) / x ( t ) for t ≥ t0 . By equation (2.11), v ( t ) satisfies the equation ′ + + + −v v v2 1p qxλ = 0. (2.13) Next, we consider the following two cases: (i) If x ( t ) is an unbounded nonoscillatory solution of equation (2.11) with λ > 1 for t ≥ t0 , then there exist a constant k1 > 0 and t2 ≥ t1 ≥ t0 such that x ( t ) ≥ k1 for t ≥ t2 . Therefore x t kλ λ− −( ) ≥1 1 1 = c1 for t ≥ t2 , (2.14) where c1 is a constant. Using (2.14) and q ( t ) ≥ 0 in (2.13), and proceeding as in the proof of Theorem 2.1, we arrive at the desired contradiction. (ii) If x ( t ) is a bounded nonoscillatory solution of equation (2.11) with 0 < λ < 1 for t ≥ t0 , then there exist a constant k2 > 0 and t2 ≥ t1 ≥ t0 such that x ( t ) ≤ k2 for t ≥ t2 . Therefore x t kλ λ− −( ) ≥1 2 1 = c2 for t ≥ t2 , where c2 is a constant. The rest of the proof is similar to that in the previous case and hence is omitted. 3. Oscillation results for f (((( x )))) with monotonicity. In this section, we establish the oscillation of equation (1.2) under the assumption that q ( t ) changes its sign and the function f ( x ) is monotonous. Theorem 3.1. Assume that f ∈ C1 ( R, R ) and f ′ ( x ) ≥ K > 0 for all x ∈ R, where K is a constant. If for large t ∈ R, p ( t ) = O ( 1 ) and q s p s K p s K ds t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ∞ ∫ 2 0 4 2 α , (3.1) where α0 > 1 / 4, then equation (1.2) is oscillatory. ISSN 1027-3190. Ukr. mat. Ωurn., 2008, t. 60, # 5 OSCILLATION CRITERIA FOR NONLINEAR SECOND ORDER … 699 Proof. Suppose that x ( t ) is a nonoscillatory solution of equation (1.2), say, x ( t ) > 0 when t ≥ t0 > 0 for some t0 depending on the solution x ( t ). By condition (3.1), there exists t1 ≥ t0 such that q s p s K p s K ds t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ∞ ∫ 2 0 4 2 α for t ≥ t1 , which yields that there exists an integer n ( t ) ≥ t such that q s p s K p s K ds t t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ′ ∫ 2 1 4 2 α and K t K t t α α α1 2 1 2 2 − ′ ≥ for t′ ≥ n ( t ), where α0 ≥ α1 ≥ α > 1 / 4. Define v ( t ) = x′ ( t ) / f ( x ( t ) ) for t ≥ t0 . By equation (1.2), v ( t ) satisfies the equation ′ + ′( ) + +v v vf x p q2 = 0. (3.2) Because f ′ ( x ) ≥ K > 0, and setting w ( t ) = v ( t ) + p t K ( ) 2 , (3.2) can be rewritten as ′ + + − − ′ w Kw q p K p K 2 2 4 2 ≤ 0. The rest of the proof is similar to that of Theorem 2.1, and is omitted. Now, by combining some ingredients of the proofs of Theorem 2.2 and of Theorem 3.1, we give the following theorem, whose proof is similar to that of Theorem 2.2, for the equation (2.11). Theorem 3.2. If for large t ∈ R and every constant β > 0, p ( t ) = O ( 1 ) and q s p s p s ds t t ( ) − ( ) − ′( )    ≥ ∞ ∫ 2 0 4 2β β α , where α0 > 1 / 4, then: (i) every unbounded solution of equation (2.11) with λ > 1 is oscillatory, (ii) every bounded solution of equation (2.11) with 0 < λ < 1 is oscillatory. Remark 3.1. Theorems 2.1 and 3.1 extend and improve Theorem A for the nonlinear equation (1.2). In addition to this, they are true for the linear equation (1.1). Also note that when f ( x ) ≡ x, it is not necessary to assume q ( t ) ≥ 0 in Theorem 2.1. So, if p ( t ) ≡ 0 then Theorems 2.1 and 3.1 reduce to Theorem A, Theorem B with γ = = 1 and the well known Hille’s result. Remark 3.2. If we compare Theorem 2.2 or Theorem 3.2 with Theorem 2.2 given in [1], it is easy to see that these results include different types of sufficient conditions for the oscillation. Finally, we give an example to illustrate the efficiency of our results. The example is not covered by any of the results of Deng [2] and Yang [9]. Example. Consider the equations ′′ + ′ + [ + ]x t x t x x 2 2 3θ = 0, (3.3) ′′ + ′ +x t x t x x 2 2 θ λ sgn = 0, (3.4) and ISSN 1027-3190. Ukr. mat. Ωurn., 2008, t. 60, # 5 700 D. ÇAKMAK ′′ + ′ + + +     x t x t x x 1 1 1 12 2 µ = 0, (3.5) where t > 0, θ > 1 4 , λ > 0 and µ > 0. Note that, for the equation (3.3) f x x ( ) = 1 + + x2 ≥ 1 = M or f ′ ( x ) = 1 + 3x2 ≥ 1 = K for all x, and p t p t 2 2 ( ) + ′( ) = 0 when p ( t ) = = 2 t . Applying Theorem 2.1 or Theorem 3.1 for the equation (3.3), and Theorem 3.2 for the equation (3.4), it is easy to verify that θ θ s ds t t t 2 1 4 ∞ ∫ = > . Hence, equation (3.3), every unbounded solution of equation (3.4) with λ > 1 and every bounded solution of equation (3.4) with 0 < λ < 1 are oscillatory for θ > 1 4 . Note that f ( x ) = = x x 1 1 1 2+ +     and f ′ ( x ) = 1 + 1 1 2 2 2 − ( + ) x x for the equation (3.5). It is clear that Theorem 3.1 cannot be applied to equation (3.5). Nevertheless, we can prove the oscillatory character of equation (3.5) by using Theorem 2.1 or Corollary 2.1. Taking into account that f x x ( ) = 1 + 1 1 2+ x ≥ 1 = M for x ≠ 0, we get µ µ s s s ds t t t 2 2 2 1 4 1 2 1 4 1 1 4 − +    = +    > ∞ ∫ . Hence, equation (3.5) is oscillatory for µ > 0.
