Lyapunov Type Inequalities for Second Order Sub and Super-Half Differential Equations

Abstract

In the case of oscillatory potential, we present a Lyapunov type inequality for second order differential equations of the form (r(t)Phi(beta)(x'(t)))' + q(t)Phi(gamma)(x(t)) = 0, in the sub-half-linear (0 < gamma < beta) and the super-half-linear (0 < beta < gamma < 2 beta) cases where Phi(*)(s) = vertical bar s vertical bar*(-1)s.
