The feature of the present work is to demonstrate that the method of regular variation can be effectively applied to fourth order quasilinear differential equations of the forms \begin{equation*} (|x''|^{\alpha-1}x'')'' + q(t)|x|^{\beta-1}x = 0, \end{equation*} under the assumptions that $\alpha \gt \beta$ and $q(t): [a,\infty) \to (0,\infty)$ is regularly varying function, providing full information about the existence and the precise asymptotic behavior of all possible positive solutions.
