Remarks on a paper of C. Huang. (Q1426073)

The author considers a second-order linear differential equation. By using the Lyapunov inequality, some new interval oscillation and nonoscillation criteria are obtained. The criteria depend on the local integrability of the coefficient in a finite interval not as usual on the half-line. The results extend and improve some well-known oscillation and nonoscillation results. A comparison with the results of Hill for oscillations of second-order linear equations also are given. These results are extended to second-order linear delay differential equations. To illustrate the main results, the author applies the results, to the Euler equation and proves that the results are sharp.
