Interval oscillation criteria for second order self-adjoint matrix differential systems with damping

Qigui Yang (2002)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

By using the generalized Riccati technique and the averaging technique, we establish new oscillation criteria for the second order self-adjoint matrix differential system with damping (P(t)Y'(t))' + r(t)P(t)Y'(t) + Q(t)Y(t) = 0, t ≥ t₀. The criteria are different from most known ones in the sense that they are based on the information only on a sequence of subintervals of [t₀,∞), rather than on the whole half-line. In particular, our results complement a number of...

Interval Oscillation for Second Order Nonlinear Differential Equations with a Damping Term

Hassan, Taher S. (2008)

Serdica Mathematical Journal

2000 Mathematics Subject Classification: 34C10, 34C15.It is the purpose of this paper to give oscillation criteria for the second order nonlinear differential equation with a damping term (a(t) y′(t))′ + p(t)y′(t) + q(t) |y(t)| α−1 y(t) = 0, t ≥ t0, where α ≥ 1, a ∈ C1([t0,∞);(0,∞)) and p,q ∈ C([t0,∞);R). Our results here are different, generalize and improve some known results for oscillation of second order nonlinear differential equations that are different from most known ones in the sencse...

Kamenev type oscillation criteria for second order matrix differential systems with damping

Qi-gui Yang, Sui Sun Cheng (2005)

Annales Polonici Mathematici

By using monotone functionals and positive linear functionals on a suitable matrix space, new oscillation criteria for second order self-adjoint matrix differential systems with damping are given. The results are extensions of the Kamenev type oscillation criteria obtained by Wong for second order self-adjoint matrix differential systems with damping. These extensions also include an earlier result of Erbe et al.
