Weakly Increasing Solutions of Equations with p-Mean Curvature Operator

Globally positive unbounded solutions, with zero derivative at infinity, are here considered for ordinary differential equations involving the generalized Euclidean mean curvature operator. When p ≥ 2, the results highlight an analogy with an auxiliary equation with the p-Laplacian operator. The results are obtained using some comparison criteria for the principal solutions of a class of associated half-linear equations.
