On a comparison theorem for second order nonlinear ordinary differential equations (Q1346961): Difference between revisions

Summary: We present a comparison theorem for second order nonlinear differential equations of the form \((R(t) w(x(t)) x'(t))' + p(t)f(x(t)) = 0\) \((t \in [t_ 0, \beta), \beta \leq \infty)\) where \(p\) is a continuous function on \([t_ 0, \beta)\) without any restriction on its sign.
