Summary: The oscillation criteria result of R. P. Agarwal and S. R. Grace [ Appl. Math. Lett. 13, 53–57 (2000; Zbl 0958.34050)] is generalized to the following nonlinear equations \[ x^{(n)}(t)+ \sum^{n-1}_{i=1} a_i x^{(i)}(t)- q(t) f(x(t))= e(t),\quad n\in\mathbb{N}, \] where \(f\in C^1(\mathbb{R},\mathbb{R})\) and \(f\) is a strictly monotone increasing function, \(e\in C(\mathbb{R}^+,\mathbb{R})\) and \(a_1,\dots, a_{n-1}\) are real constants.
