We establish some necessary and sufficient conditions for nonoscillation of Hille-Kneser type. Our results in the special case when <inline-formula><graphic file="1687-1847-2006-051401-i2.gif"/></inline-formula> involve the well-known Hille-Kneser-type criteria of second-order linear differential equations established by Hille. For the case of the second-order half-linear differential equation, our results extend and improve some earlier results of Li and Yeh and are related to some work of Do&#353;l&#253; and &#344;eh&#225;k and some results of &#344;eh&#225;k for half-linear equations on time scales. Several examples are considered to illustrate the main results.</p>
