    A measurable function \(L\) which is eventually positive is said to be slowly varying at infinity if \(\lim_{x\to\infty}{L(tx)\over L(x)}=1\) for all \(t>0\), and the function \(x^ \alpha L(x)\) is said to be regularly varying of index \(\alpha\). The authors establish asymptotic formulae as \(x\to\infty\) for positive decreasing regularly varying solutions of \(y''=f(x)y\). It is known [\textit{V. Marić} and \textit{M. Tomić}, Publ. Inst. Math., Nouv. Ser. 48(62), 199-207 (1990; Zbl 0722.34007)] that all positive decreasing solutions are regularly varying of index \(-\alpha(\alpha\geq 0)\) if and only if there exists \(c\geq 0\) such that \(\varphi(x)=x\int^ \infty_ xf(t)dt-c\to 0\) where \(\alpha\) is the nonnegative root of \(\alpha(\alpha+1)=c\). The result for regularly varying solutions requires the hypothesis \(\int^ \infty_ 1([\varphi(t)]^ 2/t)dt<\infty\). Sharper estimates are obtained under stronger hypotheses on \(\varphi\).
