Oscillation of second-order functional differential equations with mixed nonlinearities and oscillatory potentials

In this paper, we study oscillation of second-order functional differential equations with mixed nonlinearities

where τ0, p(t)C¹[0,∞), q(t),q_i(t),e(t)C[0,∞), p(t)>0, . Without assuming that q(t), q_i(t) and e(t) are nonnegative, the results given in [Y.G. Sun, F.W. Meng, Interval criteria for oscillation of second-order differential equations with mixed nonlinearities, Appl. Math. Comput. 198 (2008) 375–381] have been extended to the aforementioned functional differential equation.
