The property Pk(K = 0,1,…,n) is formulated. For k = 0, n this property reduces to conditions A and B defined by Kiguradze (1962) for a class of ordinary differential equations. Sufficient conditions are then given which guarentee that a class of delay differential equations of odd order possesses property Pk. The property PK is also seen to be useful in reducing the number of types of positve solutions of a related nonhomogeneous delay differential equation.
