abstract:
The present investigation is stimulated by the works [1], [2] and [3]
in  which the authors study oscillatory properties of half-linear ordinary 
differential equations, of the so-called $P$-Laplacian. Here we consider its 
two-dimensional version. Moreover, it turns out that the fundamentals of 
the $P$-Laplacian theory can be successfully involved in a more 
general scheme which we call the theory of connected pairs. We will see that 
it contains, on the one hand, the notion of analyticity and, on the other 
hand, it allows one to apply a very important transformation of the analysis, 
the Legendre transformation to the investigation of the $P$-Laplacian.
