Abstract
Consider the wth order scalar ordinary differential equationwith pr ∈ C([0, ∞) → R ) . The purpose of this paper is to establish the following:DECOMPOSITION THEOREM. The solution space X of (1.1) has a direct sum Decompositionwhere M1 and M2 are subspaces of X such that(1) each solution in M1\﹛0﹜ is nonzero for sufficiently large t ﹛nono sdilatory) ;(2) each solution in M2 has infinitely many zeros ﹛oscillatory).
