Lyapunov-type integral inequalities for certain higher order differential equations (Q963913)

The author gives a proof of the following result: If \(x(t)\) is a solution of the boundary value problem \(x^{(2n)}+q(t)x=0\), \(x^{(2i)}(a)=x^{(2i)}(b)=0\), \(i=0,1,\dots,n-1\) satisfying \(x(t)\neq 0\) for \(t\in(a,b)\), then \[ \int_{a}^{b}|q(s)|\,ds>\frac{2^{2n}}{(b-a)^{2n-1}}\,. \] The author also gives a short survey of several results of this type.
