Qualitative properties of solutions of certain fourth order linear differential equations

This work considers differential equations of the form (py″)′​′+qy″+ry=0 where p,q and r are positive continuous functions defined on [0,∞). The main concentration is on the oscillatory and asymptotic behavior of the solutions. Such an investigation is important because the above equation often aris...

description This work considers differential equations of the form (py″)′​′+qy″+ry=0 where p,q and r are positive continuous functions defined on [0,∞). The main concentration is on the oscillatory and asymptotic behavior of the solutions. Such an investigation is important because the above equation often arises in the study of mechanical vibrations.
