摘要
This paper surveys the Kolodner-Coffman method which has been applied very successfully by many authors to obtain uniqueness theorems for boundary value problems for differential equations of Emden-Fowler type. We recast some of the arguments in the language of Sturm's oscillation theory for linear second-order differential equations. The clarification provided by the new perspective enables us to improve several known results. © 1990 Birkhäuser Verlag.
