The problem of establishing oscillation and non-oscillation criteria for elliptic equations has recently been considered by several authors. Extensive bibliographies may be found in the books by C. A. Swanson, [7], and by K. Kreith, [3].

Most of the interest has so far centered on equations of second order with some results also established for fourth order equations. Non-oscillation theorems for higher order equations have recently been established by the author, [1], and by Noussair and Yoshida, [5]. In particular, both in [1] and [5], Kneser-type theorems were established for classes of higher order elliptic equations.
