Summary:
We introduce the concept of the regular (nonoscillatory) half-linear second order differential equation \[ \left(r(t)\Phi (x^{\prime })\right)^{\prime }+c(t)\Phi (x)=0\,,\quad \Phi (x):=|x|^{p-2}x\,,\quad p>1 \qquad \mathrm {{(*)}}\] and we show that if (*) is regular, a solution $x$ of this equation such that $x^{\prime }(t)\ne 0$ for large $t$ is principal if and only if \[ \int ^\infty \frac{dt}{r(t)x^2(t)|x^{\prime }(t)|^{p-2}}=\infty \,. \] Conditions on the functions $r,c$ are given which guarantee that (*) is regular.
