The paper investigates the oscillation problem for the nonlinear selfadjoint differential equation \((a(t)x')'+b(t)g(x)=0\), where \(g(x)\) satisfies the signum condition \(xg(x)>0\), \(x\neq 0\). It is shown that certain growth conditions on \(g(x)\) play an essential role in deciding whether nontrivial solutions are oscillatory or not. Proofs use Sturm's comparison method and phase plane analysis of systems of Liénard type.
