Oscillatory Property of n-th Order Functional Differential Equations

The authors study oscillatory property of nonlinear functional differential equation $L_nx(t)+p(t)f(x(t),x(g(t)))=r(t)$(1) where L_nx(t) is an n-th order linear differential operator defined by $L_0x(t)=x(t)$, $L_kx(t)=\frac{d}{dt}(a_k-1(t)L_k-1x(t)),k=1,2,\cdots,n.$ Sufficient conditions are obtained which guarantee that all continuable solutions of (1) are oscillatory or tend to zero as t\rightarrow \infinity.
