A criterion for oscillations in the solutions of the polytropic Lane-Emden equations

Abstract We have previously formulated a simple criterion for deducing the intervals of oscillations in the solutions of second-order linear homogeneous differential equations. In this work, we extend analytically the same criterion to superlinear Lane-Emden equations with integer polytropic indices...
