Using the comparison theorem, the two-point oscillation for linear differential equation with 2 α 2 β damping term y f x/x − x y g x/x − x y 0 is considered, where α, β 0; f x, g x 0, and f x, g x ∈ CI , I 0, 1. Results are obtained that 0 α 3/2, β 3 or α 3/2, β 2α imply the two-point oscillation of the equation. 1. Introduction Under the solution y x of a differential equation appearing in the paper, we mean a function y y x such that y ∈ C2 I . Here, we allow that y ∈/ CI . Recently, two-point oscillation of the differential equations caused the concern of many scholars 1, 2. In paper 1, Pasic and Wong construct the equation: ˇ ´ 1 2 y S q x q x y 0, x ∈ I, 1.1 2 3
