Comparison theorems for noncanonical third order nonlinear differential equations

Abstract

The aim of our paper is to study oscillatory and asymptotic properties of solutions of nonlinear differential equations of the third order with quasiderivatives. We prove comparison theorems on property A between linear and nonlinear equations. Some integral criteria ensuring property A for nonlinear equations are also given. Our assumptions on the nonlinearity of f are restricted to its behavior only in a neighborhood of zero and a neighborhood of infinity.
