A Riccati Technique for Proving Oscillation of a Half-linear Equation
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we study the oscillation of solutions to the half-linear differential equation (r(t)|y′|p−1 sgn y)′ + c(t)|y|p−1 sgn y = 0, under the assumptions R∞ r1/(1−p)(s) ds < ∞, r(t) > 0, p > 1. Our main tool is a Riccati type transformation for using the so called “function sequence technique”. This method leads to new and to known oscillation and comparison results. We also give an example that illustrates our results.

Linearized Riccati Technique and (Non-)Oscillation Criteria for Half-Linear Difference Equations
We consider the half-linear second-order difference equation Δ rkΦ Δxk ckΦ xk 1 0, Φ x : |x|p−2x, p > 1, where r, c are real-valued sequences. We associate with the above-mentioned equation a linear second-order difference equation and we show that oscillatory properties of the abovementioned one can be investigated using properties of this associated linear equation. Themain tool we use is a l...
متن کاملRiccati-type Inequality and Oscillation Criteria for a Half-linear Pde with Damping
Under suitable conditions on the coefficients of a partial differential equation, we prove a Riccati-type inequality. As an application of this result, we find oscillation criteria for second order damped half-linear partial differential equations. These criteria improve and complement earlier results on oscillation for partial differential equations. The main feature in our results is that the...
متن کاملHalf-Linear Dynamic Equations
Abstract. We survey half-linear dynamic equations on time scales. These contain the well-known half-linear differential and half-linear difference equations as special cases, but also other kinds of half-linear equations. Special cases of half-linear equations are the well-studied linear equations of second order. We discuss existence and uniqueness of solutions of corresponding initial value p...
متن کاملLocal Estimates for Modified Riccati Equation in Theory of Half-linear Differential Equation
In this paper we study the half-linear differential equation ( r(t)Φp(x ′) ) ′ + c(t)Φp(x) = 0, where Φp(x) = |x|p−2x, p > 1. Using modified Riccati technique and suitable local estimates for terms in modified Riccati equation we derive new characterization of principal solution and new nonoscillation criteria.
متن کاملNonoscillation and oscillation of second-order impulsive differential equations with periodic coefficients
In this paper we give a nonoscillation criterion for half-linear equations with periodic coefficients under fixed moments of impulse actions. The method is based on existence of positive solutions of the related Riccati equation and a recently obtained comparison principle. In the special case when the equation becomes impulsive Hill equation new oscillation criteria are also obtained.
