#### Abstract

In this paper, the radial oscillation of the solutions of higher order homogeneous linear differential equation $$f^{(k)}+A_{n-2}(z)f^{(k-2)}+{\cdots}+A_1(z)f^{\prime}+A_0(z)f=0$$ with transcendental entire function coefficients is studied. Results are obtained to extend some results in [Z. Wu and D. Sun, Angular distribution of solutions of higher order linear differential equations, J. Korean Math. Soc. 44 (2007), no. 6, 1329-1338].
