(B) y(to) = y<» y'(t0) = yι. By a solution of (A) on an interval / c [α, oo) we mean a function yeC^) which has the property l/ leC 1 ^) and satisfies the equation at all points tel. A solution is said to be global if it exists on the whole interval [α, oo). It will be shown in particular that the initial value problem (A)-(B) has a unique global solution for any given values of y0 and y± provided q(i) is positive and locally of bounded variation on [α, oo). Secondly, we investigate the oscillatory (and nonoscillatory) behavior of solutions of (A) which are defined in a neighborhood of infinity. Such a solution is said to be oscillatory if it has an infinite sequence of zeros clustering at infinity; otherwise it is said to be nonoscillatory. Thus a nonoscillatory solution must be eventually positive or eventually negative. Oscillation theory of equations of the type (A) was first developed by Mirzov [10-13] and Elbert [3, 4]. A considerable amount of addition to their theory has been given in the recent papers [2, 5-8]. It has thus turned out that the oscillatory character of (A) is to a large extent in common with that of the Emden-Fowler type equation
