    The authors study the fourth order differential equation \[ (p(t)|x''|^{\alpha-1}x'')''+q(t)|x|^{\beta-1}x=0,\tag{1} \] where \(\alpha>0\), \(\beta>0\) are constants and \(p,\;q:[a,\infty)\to(0,\infty)\) are continuous functions. They consider the super-half-linear case \(\alpha\leq 1<\beta\) and sub-half-linear case \(\beta<1\leq \alpha\) and prove for each case a necessary and sufficient condition of integral type which ensures that all solutions of (1) are oscillatory, i.e. every solution of (1) has an infinite sequence of zeros tending to infinity. The results are of similar nature as the corresponding results of \textit{F. V. Atkinson} [Pac. J. Math. 5, 643--647 (1955; Zbl 0065.32001)] and \textit{S. Belohorec} [Mat.-Fyz. Čas., Slovensk. Akad. Vied 11, 250--254 (1961; Zbl 0108.09103)] derived for second order Emden--Fowler differential equation. The proofs are based on suitable classification of all nonoscillatory solutions into six classes. Nonexistence of eventually positive solution is proved for each class separately.
