The paper deals with the quasi-linear ordinary differential equation ( r ( t ) ϕ ( u ' ) ) ' + g ( t , u ) = 0 with t [ 0 , ) . We treat the case when g is not necessarily monotone in its second argument and assume usual conditions on r ( t ) and ϕ ( u ) . We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the existence of unbounded non-oscillatory solutions. By means of a fixed point technique we investigate their growth, proving the coexistence of solutions with different asymptotic behaviors. The results generalize previous ones due to Elbert–Kusano, [Acta Math. Hung. 1990]. In some special cases we are able to show the exact asymptotic growth of these solutions. We apply previous analysis for studying the non-oscillatory problem associated to the equation when ϕ ( u ) = u . Several examples are included.
