Oscillation of solutions for odd-order neutral functional differential equations

Tuncay Candan

Abstract:
In this article, we establish oscillation criteria for all solutions to the neutral differential equations
$$
 [x(t)\pm ax(t\pm h)\pm bx(t\pm g)]^{(n)}
 =p\int_{c}^{d}x(t-\xi)d\xi+q\int_{c}^{d}x(t+\xi)d\xi,
 $$
where $n$ is odd, $h$, $g$, $a$ and $b$ are nonnegative constants. We consider 10 of the 16 possible combinations of +/- signs, and give some examples to illustrate our results.
