Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the oscillation of second order nonlinear differential equation of the form where . There exists a function rC2(I, R) such that e(t)= r″(t) and r changes sign on [T, ∞) for any Tt0, fC(I × R, R), f(t, y)sgnyq(t)|y| or f(t, y)=q(t)f1(y). By using the generalized Riccati technique and averaging technique, we get some new oscillation criteria for it.
