Résumé

In this paper, we study the oscillatory behavior of the solutions of the linear differential equation (1.1) where (1.2) and all functions are assumed to be continuous on a bounded interval [a, b). An «th-order linear equation is said to be disconjugate on an interval I provided it has no nontrivial solution with more than n — 1 zeros, counting multiplicities, in I.
