An identity of the Picone type for fourth-order half-linear ordinary differential operators of the form where φ( u ) := | u | α - 1 u , α > 0, u Î R , and p, q, r, P, Q and R are continuous functions on a given interval I is derived and then Sturmian comparison theory for the corresponding fourth-order equations l α [ x ] = 0 and L α [ y ] = 0 based on this identity is developed.
