Using a combined dominant condition, we obtain general results concerning the complex oscillation for a class of homogeneous linear differential equations w(k) + + … + A1w′ + (A0 + A)w = 0 with k ≥ 2, which has been investigated by many authors. In particular, we discover that there exists a unique case that possesses k linearly independent zero-free solutions for these equations, and we resolve an open problem and simultaneously answer a question of Bank.
