“…A solution of (1) Li et al [14] studied oscillation of equation (1) under the assumptions that (2) holds, t and s are strictly increasing, pðtÞ > 1, and (4) is satisfied. Li et al [15] analyzed oscillatory properties of equation (1) in the case where ðH 1 Þ-ðH 3 Þ hold, tðtÞ b t, and sðtÞ b t: They derived a su‰cient condition which ensures that solutions of equation (1) We stress that theorems in [4,5,6,11] cannot be applied to (1) in the case where (2) holds. The purpose of this paper is to extend a new method for the analysis of the oscillation of equation (1) via comparison principles suggested by Baculíková and Džurina [4] for the study of (1) under the assumption (2).…”
