Oscillation theorems for nonlinear differential equations of second order.
Some oscillation criteria for solutions of a general perturbed second order ordinary differential equation with damping (r(t)x′ (t))′ + h(t)f (x)x′ (t) + ψ(t, x) = H(t, x(t), x′ (t)) with alternating coefficients are given. The results obtained improve and extend some existing results in the literature.
Oscillation criteria are given for the second order sublinear non-autonomous differential equation. (r(t) (x)x′(t))′ + q(t)g(x(t)) = (t). These criteria extends and improves earlier oscillation criteria of Kamenev, Kura, Philos and Wong. Oscillation criteria are also given for second order sublinear damped non-autonomous differential equations.
In this paper, sufficient conditions have been obtained for oscillation of solutions of a class of th order linear neutral delay-differential equations. Some of these results have been used to study oscillatory behaviour of solutions of a class of boundary value problems for neutral hyperbolic partial differential equations.
