Abstract:
 Applying the modified half-linear Prufer angle, we study oscillation
 properties of the half-linear differential equation
 ![$$
 [ r(t) t^{p-1} \Phi(x')]' + \frac{s(t)}{t \log^pt} \Phi(x) = 0, \quad
 \Phi(x)=|x|^{p-1}\hbox{sgn} x.

 We show that this equation is conditionally oscillatory in a very general case.
 Moreover, we identify the critical oscillation constant
 (the borderline depending on the functions r and s which separates
 the oscillatory and non-oscillatory equations).
 Note that the used method is different from the standard  method based 
 on the half-linear Prufer angle.
