Nonoscillation of solutions of a class of third order differential equations (Q1826013)

Sufficient conditions are obtained for nonoscillation of all solutions of a class of nonhomogeneous linear equations of the form \[ (\sigma (t)(r(t)y')')'+q(t)y'+p(t)y=f(t). \] In some of the results no sign condition is imposed on p and q. Recently some results concerning asymptotic behaviour of nonoscillatory solutions of a class of linear homogeneous complete equations of the form \(y'''+a(t)y''+b(t)y'+c(t)y=0\) have been obtained [\textit{N. Parhi} and \textit{P. Das}, On asymptotic property of solutions of a class of third order differential equations (to appear in Proc. Am. Math. Soc.)].
