Our results complement the results in [A.G. Kartsatos, On oscillation of nonlinear equations of second order, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 24 (1968), 665–668], and improve a number of existing oscillation criteria. Our main results are illustrated with examples.", keywords = "second order, nonlinear, differential equations, oscillation", issn = "1232-9274" }
