Oscillation Criteria for Second-Order Nonlinear Differential Equations with Damping Term

abstract:
By employing a generalized Riccati technique and an integral averaging technique, new oscillation criteria are established for a class of second-order nonlinear differential equations with damping term. These criteria extend, improve and unify a number of existing results and handle the cases which are not covered by the known criteria. In particular, several interesting examples that illustrate the importance of our
results are included.
