Abstract. The author considers the quasilinear differential equations \begin{gather*} \left(r(t)\varphi(x')\right)'+ q(t)f(x)=0\,,\quad \quad t\geq a\\ \intertext{and} \left(r(t)\varphi(x')\right)' + F(t,x)=\pm g(t)\,,\quad\quad t\geq a\,. \end{gather*} By means of topological tools there are established conditions ensuring the existence of nonnegative asymptotic decaying solutions of these equations.
