Comparison theorems for fourth order differential equations
This paper establishes an apparently overlooked relationship between the pair of fourth order linear equations yiv−p(x)y=0 and yiv+p(x)y=0, where p is a positive, continuous function defined on [0,∞). It is shown that if all solutions of the first equation are nonoscillatory, then all solutions of t...
