Sufficient conditions will be derived for the linear elliptic partial differential equation

(1)

to be nonoscillatory in an unbounded domain R in n-dimensional Euclidean space En. The boundary ∂R of R is supposed to have a piecewise continuous unit normal vector at each point. There is no essential loss of generality in assuming that R contains the origin. Otherwise no special assumptions are needed regarding the shape of R: it is not necessary for R to be quasiconical (as in [2]), quasicylindrical, or quasibounded [1].
