In this paper, we are concerned with the oscillations in a class of forced second-order differential equations with nonlinear damping terms. By using an inequality due to Hardy et al., several new interval oscillation criteria for the equations are established. These criteria are different from most

β¦ Synopsis
New oscillation criteria are established for the nonlinear damped differential equation (ryl)l +pyl + qf(y) __ 0 that are different from most known ones in the sense that they are based on the information only on a sequence of subintervals of [to, oo), rather than on the whole half-line. Our results are sharper than some previous results, and extend and improve the recent interval criteria of Kong and Huang, and can be applied to extreme cases such as ./to q(s) ds = -~. In particular, several examples that dwell upon the sharp conditions of our results are also included. (~) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.

This paper is concerned with the oscillation of a class of general type second-order differential equations with nonlinear damping. Several new oscillation criteria are established under quite general assumptions, which improve and extend the known results in the literature.
