Necessary and Sufficient Conditions for Positive Solutions of Second-Order Nonlinear Dynamic Equations on Time Scales

This paper is concerned with the existence of nonoscillatory solutions for the nonlinear dynamic equation (𝑝(𝑡)(𝜓∘𝑥)(𝑥𝜎)Δ)Δ+𝑞(𝑡)𝑓∘𝑥𝜎=0 on time scales. By making use of the generalized Riccati transformation technique, we establish some necessary and sufficient criteria to guarantee the existence. Th...
