is considered, where α > 0, α ≠ 1, p ∈ C[t0; ∞), p(t) > 0 for t ≧ t0, τ ∈ C[t0; ∞), limt→∞τ(t) = ∞, τ(t) < t for t ≧ t0. Every eventually positive solution x(t) satisfying limt→∞x(t) ≧ 0. The structure of solutions x(t) satisfying limt→∞x(t) > 0 is well known. In this paper we study the existence, nonexistence and asymptotic behavior of eventually positive solutions
x(t) satisfying limt→∞x(t) = 0.
