Fractal oscillations for a class of second order linear differential equations of Euler type

The s-dimensional fractal oscillations for continuous and smooth functions defined on an open bounded interval are introduced and studied. The main purpose of the paper is to establish this kind of oscillations for solutions of a class of second order linear differential equations of Euler type. Next, it will be shown that the dimensional number s only depends on a positive real parameter α appearing in a singular term of the main equation. It continues some recent results on the rectifiable and unrectifiable oscillations given in Paši´c [M. Paši´c, Rectifiable and unrectifiable oscillations for a class of second-order linear differential equations of Euler type, J. Math. Anal. Appl. 335 (2007) 724–738] and Wong [J.S.W.
