Oscillation criteria for third-order nonlinear differential equations

In this paper, we are concerned with the oscillation properties of the third order differential equation ( b(t) ( [a(t)x'(t)' )^γ )^ + q(t)x^γ (t) = 0, γ > 0. Some new sufficient conditions which insure that every solution oscillates or converges to zero are established. The obtained results extend the results known in the literature for γ = 1. Some examples are considered to illustrate our main results.
