Abstract. The authors establish some new criteria for the oscillation and asymptotic behavior of all solutions of the equation.
\begin{gather*} (a(t)(x(t)+p(t)x(\tau(t)))^\prime)^\prime + q(t) \max_{[\sigma(t),t]} x^{\alpha}(s) = 0,\quad t \geq t_0 \geq 0, \end{gather*}
where $a(t)> 0$, $q(t) \geq 0$, $\tau(t) \leq t $, $\sigma(t) \leq t$, $\alpha$ is the ratio of odd positive integers, and $\int_0^\infty \frac{dt}{a(t)} < \infty$. Examples are included to illustrate the results.
