Existence and asymptotic behavior of nonoscillatory solutions of half-linear ordinary differential equations

Abstract

We consider the half-linear differential equation \[(|x'|^{\alpha}\mathrm{sgn}\,x')' + q(t)|x|^{\alpha}\mathrm{sgn}\,x = 0, \quad t \geq t_{0},\] under the condition \[\lim_{t\to\infty}t^{\alpha}\int_{t}^{\infty}q(s)ds = \frac{\alpha^{\alpha}}{(\alpha+1)^{\alpha+1}}.\] It is shown that if certain additional conditions are satisfied, then the above equation has a pair of nonoscillatory solutions with specific asymptotic behavior as \(t\to\infty\).
