The parameters determine whether all sol
utions of this eq
uation are oscillatory or nonoscillatory. O
ur res
ults provide parametric conditions for oscillation and nonoscillation; there is a feat
ure in which it is very easy to check whether these conditions are satisfied or not. Parametric oscillation and nonoscillation regions are drawn to help
understand the obtained res
ults.
