Abstract
We consider the perturbed Thomas–Fermi equation $$\begin{array}{ll} x^{\prime \prime}\, =\, p(t)|x|^{\gamma-1}x\, +\, q(t)|x|^{\delta-1}x, \qquad \qquad \qquad (A) \end{array}$$ where δ and γ are positive constants with \({\delta 0}\) . Our aim here is to establish criteria for the existence of positive solutions of (A) decreasing to zero as \({t \to \infty}\) in the case where p(t) and q(t) are regularly varying functions (in the sense of Karamata). Generalization of the obtained results to equations of the form $$\begin{array}{ll} \left(r(t)x^{\prime}\right)^{\prime}\, =\, p(t)|x|^{\gamma-1}x \,+ \,q(t)|x|^{\delta-1}x, \qquad \qquad \qquad (B) \end{array}$$ is also given.
