We establish some new oscillation criteria for the second order neutral delay differential equation $${\left[r\left(t\right)\right|[x\left(t\right)+p\left(t\right)x\left[\tau \left(t\right)\right]]}^{\text{'}}{{|}^{\alpha -1}{[x\left(t\right)+p\left(t\right)x\left[\tau \left(t\right)\right]]}^{\text{'}}]}^{\text{'}}+q\left(t\right)f\left(x\left[\sigma \left(t\right)\right]\right)=0.$$ The obtained results supplement those of Dzurina and Stavroulakis, Sun and Meng, Xu and Meng, Baculíková and Lacková. We also make a slight improvement of one assumption in the paper of Xu and Meng.

The aim of this paper is to derive sufficient conditions for the linear delay differential equation (r(t)y′(t))′ + p(t)y(τ(t)) = 0 to be oscillatory by using a generalization of the Lagrange mean-value theorem, the Riccati differential inequality and the Sturm comparison theorem.

In this paper, the oscillation criteria for solutions of the neutral delay differential equation (NDDE) $${\left(y\left(t\right)-p\left(t\right)y\left(t-\tau \right)\right)}^{\left(n\right)}+\alpha Q\left(t\right)G\left(y\left(t-\sigma \right)\right)=f\left(t\right)$$ has been studied where $p\left(t\right)=1$ or $p\left(t\right)\le 0$, $\alpha =\pm 1$, $Q\in C\left([0,\infty ),R^{+}\right)$, $f\in C\left(\right[0,\infty ),R)$, $G\in C(R,R)$. This work improves and generalizes some recent results and answer some questions that are raised in [1].

In the paper we offer criteria for oscillation of the third order Euler differential equation with delay $$y^{\text{'}\text{'}\text{'}}\left(t\right)+\frac{k^2}{t^3}y\left(ct\right)=0.$$ We provide detail analysis of the properties of this equation, we fill the gap in the oscillation theory and provide necessary and sufficient conditions for oscillation of equation considered.
