Original Abstract

We study the disconjugacy of the fourth order linear ordinary differential equation u(4)(t) = p(t)u(t); on the interval [a; b]: We find necessary and sufficient conditions for the disconjugacy on [a; b], which have the comparison theorems character. Our results complete Kondrat'ev's second comparison theorem for the case of the fourth order ODE. The above mentioned conditions significantly improve Coppel's well-known condition which guarantees the disconjugacy of our equation for not necessarily constant sign coefficient p; and generalise some optimal disconjugacy results proved for constant-coefficient equations.
