Abstract: In this paper we prove that the equation $-(r^{a}lphaphi(|u^{\prime }(r)|)u^{\prime }(r){)}^{\prime }=lambda{r}^{g}ammaf(u(r)),0<r<R$, where $$ are given real numbers, $phi:(0,infty)o(0,infty)$ is a suitable twice differentiable function, $lambda>0$ is a real parameter and $$ is continuous, admits an infinite sequence of sign-changing solutions satisfying $u^{\prime }(0)=u(R)=0$. The function $f$ is required to satisfy $tf(t)>0$ for $teq0$. Our technique explores fixed point arguments applied to suitable integral equations and shooting arguments. Our main result extends earlier ones in the case $phi$ is in the form $$ for an appropriate constant $gamma$.
