On complex oscillation and a problem of Ozawa. (English) Zbl 0609.34041
The author proves that if Q(z) is a non-constant polynomial and $$\alpha\in C$$, then every nontrivial solution of $$y''+(e^{z+\alpha}+Q(z))y=0$$ has zeros with infinite exponent of convergence. Similar methods are used to settle a problem of Ozawa: If P(z) is a non-constant polynomial, then all nontrivial solutions of $$y''+e^{-z}y'+P(z)y=0$$ have infinite order.
