Oscillation criteria for damped quasilinear second-order elliptic equations

Tadie

Abstract:
In 2010, Yoshida [13] stated that oscillation criteria for the superlinear-sublinear elliptic equation equation
$$
 \nabla \cdot \big(A(x)\Phi(\nabla v)\big)
 + (\alpha+1)B(x)\cdot\Phi(\nabla v) + C(x) \phi_\beta(v)
 + D(x) \phi_\gamma (v)=f(x)
 $$
were not known. In this article, we provide some answers to this question using boundedness conditions on the coefficients of half-linear quasilinear elliptic equations. This is obtained by using some comparison methods and Picone-type formulas.
