K. W. Chang generalizing a result of Lazer [3], proved in [4] the following THEOREM 1. Suppose that f:I → R+ = (0, + ∞), I = ([t0, + ∞), t0 0, is a non-decreasing function whose derivatives of orders ≧ 3 exist are continuous on ([t0, + ∞). Moreover, limt→+∞f(t) = +∞ and for some α, 1≧ α ≧ 2, and F =f-1/α then every solution x(t) of the equation tends to zero as t - + ∞.
