New results for oscillatory behavior of fourth-order differential equations

Abstract

Our aim in the present paper is to employ the Riccatti transformation which differs from those reported in some literature and comparison principles with the second-order differential equations, to establish some new conditions for the oscillation of all solutions of fourth-order differential equations. Moreover, we establish some new criterion for oscillation by using an integral averages condition of Philos-type, also Hille and Nehari-type. Some examples are provided to illustrate the main results.
