Consider the two statements of Sturm Comparison Theorem that I found in two different books:




Let $y(x)$ and $z(x)$ be solutions of $$y''+p(x)y=0,qquad z''(x)+q(x)z=0$$ respectively and $p,q$ are continuous and $p(x)ge q(x),forall x$. Then $y$ vanishes at least once between any two successive zeros of $z$, unless $pequiv q$ and $y(x)=cz(x),forall x$.






Let $u(t),v(t)$ be nontrivial solutions of $$(p_1(t)u')'+q_1(t)u=0,qquad (p_2(t)v')'+q_2(t)v=0$$ respectively and let $p_1(t)ge p_2(t)>0$ and $q_2(t)ge q_1(t)$. Then between any two successive zeros $u(t)$, there exists at least one zero of $v(t)$, except when $u=cv$ for some $c$.
