This paper is concerned with the question of oscillation of the solutions of second order superlinear ordinary differential equations with alternating coefficients.

Consider the second order nonlinear ordinary differential equation

where a is a continuous function on the interval [t0, ∞), t0 > 0, and / is a continuous function on the real line R, which is continuously differentia t e , except possibly at 0, and satisfies.
