Abstract

This paper investigates the qualitative behaviour of solutions of the second order equation x¨+f(x, x¯) x¯+g(x)=0. The sufficient conditions for all solutions to be oscillatory are established. The theorems on the existence of a nontrivial periodic solution are proved and the criteria for the origin to be a global centre and globally asymptotically stable are given.
