Abstract:

The problem of oscillation of super- and sublinear Emden-Fowler equations is studied. Established are a number of oscillation theorems involving comparison with related linear equations. Recent results on linear oscillation can thus be used to obtain interesting oscillation criteria for nonlinear equations.
