Abstract

The oscillatory behavior of solutions of a class of second order nonlinear differential equations with damping is studied and some new sufficient conditions are obtained by using the refined integral averaging technique. Some well known results in the literature are extended. Moreover, two examples are given to illustrate the theoretical analysis.
