Interval oscillation criteria for second-order forced impulsive differential equations with mixed nonlinearities (Q541245)

By using an arithmetic-geometric mean inequality and the Riccati transformation, interval oscillation criteria are established for second-order forced impulsive differential equations with mixed nonlinearities of the form \[ \begin{cases} (r(t)\Phi_\alpha(x'(t)))'+p_0(t)\Phi_\alpha(x(t))+\sum_{i=1}^n p_i(t)\Phi_{\beta_i}(x(t))=e(t),\;t\neq\tau_k,\\ x(\tau_k^+)=a_kx(\tau_k),\quad x'(\tau_k^+)=b_kx'(\tau_k),\end{cases} \] where \(t\geq t_0\), \(k\in\mathbb{N}\); \(\Phi_*(u)=|u|^{*-1}u\), \(\{\tau_k\}\) is the impulse moments sequence with \(0\leq t_0=\tau_0<\tau_1<\dots<\tau_k<\dots\) and \(\lim_{k\to\infty}\tau_k=\infty\); \(\alpha=p/q\), \(p\), \(q\) are odd, and the exponents satisfy \(\beta_1>\dots>\beta_m>\alpha>\beta_{m+1}>\dots>\beta_n>0\). Some known results are generalized and improved. Examples are also given to illustrate the effectiveness and non-emptiness of the results.
