Synopsis

Conditions are given which ensure that a weighted 2nth order ordinary differential equation on a half-line satisfy the strong limit-point and Dirichlet conditions. Perturbation terms are permitted which either satisfy certain pointwise bounds or integral type bounds. Not all of the coefficients of the equation are required to be non-negative.
