The authors investigate the asymptotic behavior of solutions of the damped nonlinear oscillator equation $$x''+ a(t)|x'|^\alpha \sgn(x') + f(x)=0, $$ where $uf(u) > 0$ for $u \neq 0$, $a(t)\geq 0$, and $\alpha\geq 1$. The case $\alpha=1$ has been investigated by a number of other authors. There are also some results for the case $\alpha>1$, but they are not really based on the power $\alpha$, although it plays an essential role in the behavior of the solutions. In this paper, we give new attractivity results for the large damping case, $a(t) \geq a_0 > 0$, that improve previously known results. Our conditions involve the power $\alpha$ in such a way that our results reduce directly to known conditions in the case $\alpha=1$. Some open problems for future research are also indicated.
Keywords: attractivity, nonlinear damping, monotonicity., Second order equations.
