Existence of oscillatory solutions for fourth order superlinear ordinary differential equations (Q791016)

The superlinear differential equation \(y^{(4)}=p(t)| y|^{\alpha}sgn y\) is considered, where \(\alpha>1\) is a constant and p(t) is a positive continuous function on \((t_ 0,\infty)\). Nonoscillation theorems are proved, and conditions are given implying the existence of oscillatory solutions.
