Abstract

This article is concerned with the oscillation of the forced second order differential equation with mixed nonlinearities

(a(t)( x´(t)γ)´+p0(t) xγ( g0(t))+∑i=1npi(t)l x(gi(t))|αi sgn x (gi(t)) =e(t),
where γ is a quotient of odd positive integers, αi>0, i=1, 2, …, n, a, e, and pi C([ 0, ∞) , {R}, α(t) >0, gi: R→R are positive continuous functions on R with limt→∞gi(t)=∞, i=0, 1, …, n. Our results generalize and improve the results in a recent article by Sun and Wong [29].
