Sufficient conditions are formulated for existence of non-oscillatory solutions to the equation $$y^{\left(n\right)}+\sum _{j=0}^{n-1}{a}_j\left(x\right)y^{\left(j\right)}+p\left(x\right){\left|y\right|}^k\mathrm{sgn}y=0$$ with $n\ge 1$, real (not necessarily natural) $k>1$, and continuous functions $p\left(x\right)$ and $a_j\left(x\right)$ defined in a neighborhood of $+\infty$. For this equation with positive potential $p\left(x\right)$ a criterion is formulated for existence of non-oscillatory solutions with non-zero limit at infinity. In the case of even order, a criterion is obtained for all solutions of this equation at infinity to be oscillatory. Sufficient conditions are obtained...

For the equation $$y^{\left(n\right)}+{\left|y\right|}^k\mathrm{sgn}y=0,k>1,n=3,4,$$ existence of oscillatory solutions $$y={(x^{*}-x)}^{-\alpha }h(log(x^{*}-x)),\alpha =\frac{n}{k-1},x<x^{*},$$ is proved, where $x^{*}$ is an arbitrary point and $h$ is a periodic non-constant function on $ℝ$. The result on existence of such solutions with a positive periodic non-constant function $h$ on $ℝ$ is formulated for the equation $$y^{\left(n\right)}={\left|y\right|}^k\mathrm{sgn}y,k>1,n=12,13,14.$$
