The authors study the following second-order difference equation, \[ \Delta (r_{n-1}\Delta x_{n-1})+p_nx^{\gamma}_n=0, \qquad n=1,2,\ldots, \tag{*} \] where \(\Delta x_n=x_{n+1}-x_n\), \(\gamma\) is the quotient of odd positive integers and \(p_n\), \(r_n\in (0,\infty)\) for \(n=1\), \(2\), \(\ldots\) with \(p_n\) not eventually zero. The obtained results include sufficient condition for the existence of bounded nonoscillatory solution to (*) and respective sufficient and necessary conditions for every bounded solution of (*) to oscillate for the cases where \(\gamma>1\), \(\gamma=1\), and \(\gamma\in (0,1)\). These results not only generalize those for the case where \(r_n\equiv 1\) but also improve some of them.
