De la Vallée Poussin type inequality and eigenvalue problem for generalized half-linear differential equation
We study the generalized half-linear second order differential equation via the associated Riccati type differential equation and Prüfer transformation. We establish a de la Vallée Poussin type inequality for the distance of consecutive zeros of a nontrivial solution and this result we apply to the “classical” half-linear differential equation regarded as a perturbation of the half-linear Euler differential equation with the so-called critical oscillation constant. In the second part of the paper...
