Abstract

In this paper we have considered completely the equation y ' ' ' + a ( t ) y ' ' + b ( t ) y ' + c ( t ) y = 0 , ( * ) where a C 2 ( [ σ , ) , R ) , b C 1 ( [ σ , ) , R ) , c C ( [ σ , ) , R ) and σ R such that a ( t ) 0 , b ( t ) 0 and c ( t ) 0 . It has been shown that the set of all oscillatory solutions of (*) forms a two-dimensional subspace of the solution space of (*) provided that (*) has an oscillatory solution. This answers a question raised by S. Ahmad and A.  C. Lazer earlier.
