Oscillation of odd order delay differential equations

In this paper, we obtain the sufficient and necessary conditions for all solutions of the odd-order nonlinear delay differential equation.x ⁽ⁿ⁾+Q(t)f(x(g(t)))=0 to be oscillatory. In particular, ifn=1, Q(t)>0, f(x)=x ^α, where α∈(0,1) and is a ratio of odd integers andg(t)=t?? for some ?>0, then every solution of (*) oscillates if and only if ∫^∞Q(s)ds=∞.     

On a cyclic disconjugate operator associated to linear differential equations

In this paper the disconjugate linear differential operator of n-th order D^1/(n) given by $$D_1^{(n)} (x)(t) = \frac{1}{{a_n (t)}}\frac{d}{{dt}}\frac{1}{{a_{n - 1} (t)}} \ldots \frac{1}{{a_1 (t)}}\frac{d}{{dt}}x(t)$$ is considered together with other n?1 operators, which are obtained from D ₁ ⁽ⁿ⁾ by an ordered cyclic permutation of the functions a_i. Such operators play an important role in the study of oscillation of the associated linear differential equation (*) $$D_1^{(n)} (x)(t) \pm x(t) = 0.$$ Some properties of these operators suggest the new idea of «isomorphism of oscillation». The existence of an isomorphism of oscillation allows to describe the oscillatory or nonoscillatory behavior of solutions of (*) by the oscillatory or nonoscillatory behavior of solutions of other n ?1 suitable linear differential equations. From this fact one can easily obtain new results about oscillation or nonoscillation of (*) that might be hard to prove directly. Several interesting consequences concerning the classification of solutions of (*) are also presented together with some new applications to the structure of the set of nonoscillatory solutions of (*).     

Oscillation and Nonoscillation of Higher Order Self-Adjoint Differential Equations

Oscillation and nonoscillation criteria for the higher order self-adjoint differential equation (-1)ⁿ(t^alphay⁽ⁿ⁾)⁽ⁿ⁾+q(t)y = 0 (*) are established. In these criteria, equation (*) is viewed as a perturbation of the conditionally oscillatory equation (-1)ⁿ(t^alphay⁽ⁿ⁾)⁽ⁿ⁾ - µ,t^2n-y = 0, where _n, is the critical constant in conditional oscillation. Some open problems in the theory of conditionally oscillatory, even order, self-adjoint equations are also discussed.

Oscillatory and asymptotic behaviour of fourth order nonlinear difference equations

This paper considers a class of fourth order nonlinear difference equations Δ²(r _n Δ²(y _n ) + Δ²(r _n ,f(n,n _n )=0,n ∈N(n ₀) wheref(n, y) may be classified as superlinear, sublinear, strongly superlinear and strongly sublinear. In superlinear and sublinear cases, necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained for the difference equation to admit the existence of nonoscillatory solutions with special asymptotic properties. In strongly superlinear and strongly sublinear cases, sufficient conditions are given for all solutions to be oscillatory. Partially Supported by the National Science Foundation of China
