In this paper we study the oscillatory behaviour of solutions of equations of the forms , where pi, and τi, for i = 1, 2,…, n, are positive constants and p is an arbitary constant. Three necessary and sufficient conditions for all solutions of (A) and (B) respectively to be oscillatory are established. These results extend and generalise previous results in a new approach.
