Asymptotic forms of solutions of perturbed half-linear ordinary differential equations

Abstract

Asymptotic forms of solutions of half-linear ordinary differential equation $\big (|u^{\prime }|^{\alpha -1}u^{\prime }\big )^{\prime }= \alpha \big (1+b(t)\big ) |u|^{\alpha -1}u$ are investigated under a smallness condition and some signum conditions on $b(t)$. When $\alpha =1$, our results reduce to well-known ones for linear ordinary differential equations.
