Abstract: Two identities of the Picone type for a class of half-linear differential systems in the plane are established and the Sturmian comparison theory for such systems is developed with the help of these new formulas.

AMSclassification: primary 34C10.

Keywords: half-linear differential systems, Picone identity, Sturmian comparison.
