For the equation y (n) + |y| k sgn y = 0, k > 1, n = 3, 4, existence of oscillatory solutions y = (x ∗ − x) −α h(log(x ∗ − x)), α = n ⁄ k − 1 , x < x∗ , is proved, where x ∗ is an arbitrary point and h is a periodic non-constant function on R. The result on existence of such solutions with a positive periodic non-constant function h on R is formulated for the equation y (n) = |y| k sgn y, k > 1, n = 12, 13, 14.
