We studied nonequilibrium oscillations between left-handed electron neutrinos and nonthermalized sterile neutrinos in medium for resonant and nonresonant cases. The exact kinetic equations for neutrinos, written in terms of neutrino density matrix in {\it momentum space} were analyzed. The evolution of neutrino density matrix was numerically calculated. This allowed to study precisely the evolution of the neutrino number densities, energy spectrum distortion and the asymmetry between neutrinos and antineutrinos for each momentum mode. The influence of nonequilibrium oscillations on the primordial production of He-4 was calculated. Cosmological constraints on the oscillation parameters were obtained.
