 Comparison Theorem for Conjugate Points of a Fourth-order Linear Differential Equation In 1961, J. Barrett showed that if the first conjugate point $\eta_1(a)$ exists for the differential equation $(r(x)y'')''= p(x)y,$ where $r(x)\gt 0$ and $p(x)\gt 0$, then so does the first systems-conjugate point $\widehat\eta_1(a)$. The aim of this note is to extend this result to the general equation with middle term $(q(x)y')'$ without further restriction on $q(x)$, other than continuity.

Agarwal, Ravi P.; Mustafa, Octavian G.
 On a Local Theory of Asymptotic Integration for Nonlinear Differential Equations We improve several recent results in the asymptotic integration theory of nonlinear ordinary differential equations via a variant of the method devised by J. K. Hale and N. Onuchic The results are used for investigating the existence of positive solutions to certain reaction-diffusion equations.

 On the Oscillation of a Second Order Strictly Sublinear Differential Equation We establish a flexible oscillation criterion based on an averaging technique that improves upon a result due to C.~G. Philos. Keywords:oscillation theory, averaging methodCategories:34C10, 34C15, 34C29
