On nonoscillation of third order differential equations. (English) Zbl 0815.34022

The authors consider linear differential equations of third order in the form (H) \(L_ 3y = : (r(t)y')'' + q(t)y' + p(t)y = 0\) and associated nonhomogeneous equations (NH) \(L_ 3y = f(t)\), where \(p,q,r,f \in C ([a, \infty), R)\), \(a \in R\) and \(r(t) > 0\). Under other appropriate assumptions sufficient conditions are obtained for nonoscillation of the equation (H) or for (NH). These conditions are related to nonoscillation of certain class of second order homogeneous or nonhomogeneous equations.
