Abstract:
We show that under certain restrictions the following three conditions
are equivalent: The equation
is oscillatory. The equation
is oscillatory. The second-order Riccati equation
does not admit a non-oscillatory solution that is eventually
positive.
Furthermore, we obtain sufficient conditions for the above statements to
hold, in terms of the coefficients.
These conditions are sharp in the sense that they are both
necessary and sufficient when the coefficients
are
constant.
